2004, Ludendorff, North Yankton. Professional robbers and best friends Michael Townley, Trevor Philips and Brad Snyder raid a local bank. The robbery succeeds, but when leaving the car gets into an accident, and the heroes have to run away on foot. But Brad and Michael are shot by an FBI agent (a play parody of the FBI) - Dave Norton. Trevor manages to escape.
But, as it turns out later, Michael's death was staged, before the robbery he entered the witness protection program, began cooperation with the FBI and, in order to save himself and his family, led his friends into an ambush. He receives an expensive mansion, money from the FBI, and so that the surviving Trevor does not find him, Michael changes his last name "Townley" to "de Santa".
The game takes place in 2013 in Los Santos, San Andreas. Michael has a tense relationship with his family: his wife Amanda constantly spends his money and cheats on him, his son Jimmy is obsessed with video games and drugs, and his daughter Tracy is trying to get into television, in particular into the porn industry. Michael goes to sessions with a psychotherapist Isaiah Friedlander, who, in his opinion, does not help him at all.
On the street, two African-Americans, Franklin Clinton and his friend Lamar Davis, turn to Michael and ask for the address of a house. They steal two sports cars from the owner of this house for Franklin's employer Simon Etarian, the owner of a car dealership. At the showroom, Simon sells an SUV on credit to Michael's son Jimmy. But soon Simon instructs Franklin to steal the car from Michael's house "for delay". Franklin sneaks into the house and steals a car. But in the back seat is Michael, who puts a gun to Franklin's head and forces Etarian to drive through the window of the car dealership. Michael beats up Simon for cheating, Franklin loses his job.
Franklin offers his services to Michael. Michael's son, Jimmy, is kidnapped by some bandits along with Michael's yacht, which Jimmy tried to sell them. Michael and Franklin rescue Jimmy, but the yacht is missed. Michael, having caught Amanda in bed with her tennis coach, chases him along with Franklin to his house and, after tying the house's supports to his pickup truck, brings him to the ground. But it turns out that it was the home of the girlfriend of the leader of the Mexican mafia in Los Santos, Martin Madrazo. Michael owes two and a half million for repairs, and he has to return to robberies. He finds his old friend, Lester Cross. Franklin also helps his friend Lamar, who is connected to the Chamberlain Gangster Families, which is opposed by the Ballas gang. One of the honorary members of the Families, Harold "Stretch" Joseph, returns from prison, with whom Franklin has a tense relationship. Lamar also gives Franklin the care of his dog Chop.
Michael and Lester prepare to rob the Vangelico jewelry store. Together with Franklin and other members of the gang, Michael raids the store and takes out about five million dollars. He pays off Martin, and together with Franklin decides to lay low.
But during the robbery, Michael gives himself away with his phrase, which he said in Ludendorff in 2004: “Every day you forget a thousand little things. Let this be one of them." And he is recognized by this phrase by Trevor Philips, who at that time was watching a news report about the robbery. Trevor lives in Sandy Shores, a small town in Blaine County. He has his own drug company, Trevor Philips Industries. But on his way get up bikers "Lost", who, after the collapse of the club in Liberty City, moved to Blaine County. Trevor, in a fit of rage, kills their president, Johnny Klebitz. Also, Trevor's business is hindered by the Latin American group Varrios Los Aztecas, which attacks his drug factory. Trevor repels the attack and kills the leader of the gang - Ortega. Tao Chen, the son of Wei Chen, the leader of the triad in San Andreas, begins working with Trevor. But he is lured into their business by Trevor's competitors, the O'Neill brothers. Trevor destroys their house. The surviving O'Neills and Wei Chen want revenge (the latter, Tao's father, wants it because they lost a customer because of Phillips).
With the help of his friend Wade, Trevor locates Michael in Los Santos. Friends reunite, but have a tense relationship - Trevor believes Michael is a traitor who faked death and escaped with money. Michael meets with Dave Norton and his colleague Steve Haynes and, on their behalf, with Trevor and Franklin, rescues the FBI's right man Ferdinand Kerimov from the CIA building (a game parody of the CIA). Then, under Trevor's guidance, the heroes steal secret weapon from the military security organization Merryweather, which, however, has to be returned. Michael quarrels with his family, and Amanda and the children leave. Michael, Trevor and Franklin are on behalf of the FBI robbing a cash-in-transit van, and Michael meets Devin Weston, a wealthy businessman who instructs the heroes to steal some rare cars for him. Weston introduces Michael to Solomon Richards, a famous film director, who asks de Sante to produce his new film.
Martin Madrazo calls Michael and offers him a job. Together with Trevor, he blows up a jet plane and steals securities from it for Madrazo. But Martin refuses to pay, and Trevor, in anger, kidnaps his wife Patricia, with whom he subsequently develops a romantic relationship. Michael and Trevor have to leave town for a while and move into Phillips' trailer in Sandy Shores. Trevor, with his friend Ron, hijacks a Merryweather aircraft with weapons, but is hit by fighter jets. Together with Michael and Franklin, Trevor kills the surviving O'Neil brothers. Then they raid a bank in Paleto Bay, but most of proceeds are given to the FRB. To pay back Madrazo, Michael and Trevor rob the Merryweather train. Finally, along with Dave Norton and Steve Haynes, they steal a neurotoxin from a military lab. Trevor returns his wife to Martin, Michael returns to the city.
The heroes are getting ready for the main robbery in the game - the federal vault robbery. Trevor suddenly wonders who is in Michael Townley's grave instead of him. Trevor decides to get to Ludendorff to find out everything. Michael also flies to Yankton in pursuit of him. Trevor digs up the grave and finds Brad's body in it. Suddenly, Wei Chen's bandits appear. Trevor escapes, while Michael is captured by the Chinese. Franklin, meanwhile, delivers all the cars to Weston, but Devin refuses to pay. With Lester's help, Franklin finds Michael and rescues him. Michael returns to the film studio. Devin Weston tries to get hold of Richards' new film, but Michael stops him. With the help of Dr. Friedlander, Michael is reunited with his family. Together with Franklin, Michael raids the FIB building and steals valuable files for Norton and Haynes. Norton sets up a meeting with Michael, which turns out to be an ambush by FIB, IAA, and Merryweather agents orchestrated by Steve Haynes. With the help of Trevor who suddenly appears, Michael and Dave escape.
Meanwhile, Franklin's friend Lamar is captured by the Ballas at a sawmill in Paleto Bay. With the help of Michael and Trevor, Franklin rescues Lamar. As it turns out, Stretch was behind this, betraying the gang and defecting to the Ballas. Steve Haynes and Dave Norton assign Franklin to kill Trevor, who is a big problem for them. Michael and Jimmy head to the premiere of Solomon Richards' Meltdown, which Michael is producing. But Michael's mansion is attacked by Merryweather agents hired by Devin Weston. Michael kills all the agents and saves the family. The heroes raid the Federal Vault and carry out $200 million. Devin Weston comes to Franklin and instructs him to kill Michael.
GTA V is one of the most popular games. It took 5 years to create it. The genre of the game "GTA 5" is a 3D open-world shooter. The release of the version for PS 3 took place in early autumn 2013, and after a little over a year, versions for PS 4 and Xbox appeared on store shelves and on Steam. Owners of personal computers running Windows were able to enjoy the game only in the spring of 2015.
Developers
The creator of the GTA 5 game is the British studio Rockstar North. In addition to the series, well-known products of the company include Lemmings and Max Payne 3. On this moment latest version games for PS 3 is 1.29, released in November 2015, and for Windows and PS 4 - version 1.41, introduced at the end of August 2017.
The game was published by Take-Two Interactive in Europe and Rockstar Games. The shooter's publisher in Russia was the largest Russian company in the industry, SoftClub, which released more than a hundred well-known video games in the country. She was also involved in the localization of the project.
Creation
In early autumn 2005, it was announced that gta games V will not, however, a couple of months later, the Vice President of Rockstar Games reported that the creation is in full swing, and the script has more than 1000 pages. In the middle of summer 2010, the studio opened several vacancies related to the development of a new part of the cult shooter. In early November 2011, the first trailer appeared on the Web, in which you could see the city of Los Santos. After that, new information about the development of the game no longer appeared. In the summer of 2012, representatives of the company said they were trying to keep the intrigue until the release.
At the end of July, Rockstar Games published financial reports and a release schedule for the next year. GTA V was not on the list. At the end of the summer of 2012, the creators of the game posted the first 10 screenshots on the Web to demonstrate the gameplay. In the fall, the release date for PS 3 and Xbox 360 was officially announced. A week later, pre-orders opened in Canada, the UK and the USA. A week later, the second official trailer appeared on the Web, which showed the characters of the game, gameplay and locations.
The most expensive video game in history
The creators of computer games are not very fond of revealing the financial details of their products. So, there are rumors that a total of about 260 million US dollars was spent on the development of WoW, but there is no official information about the budget of World of Warcraft. For 6 years, almost a thousand programmers have been working to create a game with the most twisted and thoughtful storyline. And they succeeded. Star Wars: The Old Republic cost about $200 million to develop. For a while, the game was the most expensive in the history of the industry.
But there is a new leader. The total budget of "GTA 5", spent on its creation and promotion, amounted to 265 million dollars. As of 2013, this amount seemed sky-high. The shooter was able to lead only for a year, until the game Destiny was released, which cost its developers 300 million US dollars.
Budget "GTA 5" in comparison with other games
Three times more money was spent on the fifth part of the shooter than on Elder Scrolls V, and four times the size of Crysis 3. With a budget of $100 million, GTA IV seemed like a very expensive game at the time, but the sequel required $165 million more from the creators. In any case, the creators have won. The company announced that US gamers alone had 2.5 million pre-orders for the game. Analysts assumed that in the first month after the release, developers will be able to recoup all their costs, as well as make a profit of approximately $ 700 million. In fact, it all happened so that within the first 24 hours after the game went on sale, the proceeds from the sale amounted to $ 800 million. Over the next two days, Rockstar North's revenue topped the $1 billion mark. Thus, the GTA 5 budget paid off within the first few hours.
The cost of blockbusters compared to GTA V
Tron: Legacy, The Avengers, John Carter and even Avatar - the cost of each of these feature films inferior to the budget of the game "GTA 5". As of 2013, the only movie that cost more than GTA V was Pirates of the Caribbean 3. The adventures of Jack Sparrow cost US$300 million.
Records
The budget of the GTA 5 game is not its only uniqueness. The official website of the Guinness Book of Records reported that the game managed to update 7 world records at once.
GTA V set the first record even before it went on sale. Adventure shooter trailers have become the most viewed trailers of any product in the genre. In the first day after the release, 4 more records were broken:
- top selling game within the first 24 hours;
- the best-selling game of the genre during the first day from the moment it went on sale;
- the highest grossing game for the first day after the opening of sales;
- the entertainment product that generated the highest revenue within the first 24 hours of its release.
The shooter also earned its first billion in revenue faster than all its competitors in the history of video games. The developers stated that not all the achievements of GTA V were indicated in the Guinness Book of Records. Sony reported that the game set an absolute digital sales record.
Description of the game "GTA 5". Gameplay
The uniqueness of the game is the presence of three main characters at once, which happened for the first time in the history of the series. The gamer can switch between heroes, each with their own story. You can change the character at any time, but there are missions when only two heroes are available. The plot consists of 62 main missions. Due to the fact that some tasks can be completed in several ways, and the final has 3 alternative outcomes, the number of main missions can grow to seven.
GTA V was the first game in the series in which the main characters received special skills. Abilities allow you to gain an advantage over ordinary characters. Franklin can slow down time while driving a vehicle. To fill the skill scale, you must avoid accidents, drive in the opposite lane and gain maximum speed. Michael also slows down time, but he does it while shooting. To fill the scale, you need to shoot enemies in the head, defeat them in close combat and develop maximum speed. The third character, Trevor, has fits of rage that give him the ability to defeat his opponents twice as fast. His skill bar fills up while riding fast, headshots, and taking damage.
Game description: plot
The scene is the fictional city of Los Santos. In addition to the city, the game has Blaine County, which is a rural area with mountains, forests and a beach, as well as a fictional state called North Yankton, which can only be reached in a few missions. The developers paid Special attention missions. The gamer can complete tasks for each of the protagonists in any order. All heroes pursue their goals, intertwined with each other.
The game begins in 2004 with a bank robbery involving Michael, Trevor and Brad. The FBI agent, who injures Brad and Michael, prevents the three friends from leaving safely with the loot. Trevor runs away. It is later revealed that Michael worked for the Bureau and his death was staged.
Then the action is transferred to 2013. Michael lives family life and meets Franklin. The guys start to cooperate. Franklin later rescues son Michael. At the end of the game, the heroes rob the vault and steal $200 million worth of gold from it. Franklin is tasked with killing Michael. The player then has to make a choice: kill Trevor, kill Michael, or save both. The game turned out to be very interesting and atmospheric. The budget allocated for GTA 5 paid off.
Plot grand theft Auto V (GTA 5) has undergone major changes compared to the previous parts, as it is now divided into five to six large-scale robberies. This is the basis of the whole game. So instead of having a more or less linear story that allows you to progress towards an epic ending in a fairly consistent way, the game now has a lot of intermediate endings. It also means that the player will have to deal with a repetitive game action dynamic that picks up pace as each heist gets closer to completion, only to essentially return to the starting point and start spinning out a new crime. It takes a lot of hard work to do a robbery. Each robbery requires careful preparation and execution. If you can successfully pull off your plan, you will walk away with millions of dollars in your pocket, which you will then successfully "lower" on luxury cars, helipads, marinas, businesses and weapons.
Any serious business (and large robberies cannot be called frivolous cases) usually begins with a “brainstorming”. You will have to carefully prepare for the robbery, you need to plan and think through everything. First of all, you need to work out a single overall scheme for the raid. The player is given the opportunity to choose a robbery option from those generated by Michael, Trevor and Franklin. First of all, you need to decide how exactly to approach the robbery (do everything quietly or use brute force). This is a very important point, as your choice will affect the content of the mission. For example, you can enter a building stealthily using the roof, or you can break into the building with guns overhead through the front door, using the element of surprise. Different approaches to the heist completely change the dynamics of the game, and thanks to the ability to replay missions, you can try out different options if you want. Next, you will need to choose the right weapon, decide on transport, equipment, and solve many other related tasks.
The heists are the combined work of Michael, Trevor, Franklin and their hand-picked team of supporting characters. The more difficult the robbery, the more you will need outside help, that is, the more serious the question of the correct formation of the team becomes. To be successful, you need to have a good team. The secondary characters included in its composition are specialists in various fields, for example, a driver, a shooter, a technician, a hacker, etc. You will have a wide variety of specialists to choose from. But you must understand that the more highly qualified specialist becomes a member of your team, the larger share he will ask. You can hire less qualified guys with lower requirements, but they will lower your chances of success. For example, it could take a low-paid hacker longer to break into the vault's security servers, leaving you with only 25-30 seconds to take all the money you could, for example, collect a whole minute, be in your at the disposal of a specialist of a higher level (not only professional). Good specialists require a larger share than a less experienced one would receive. It should also be remembered that if you use the same specialists and they do not die during a robbery, then they will improve their skills and, accordingly, during subsequent actions, their skill will give you more and more satisfaction.
So, after you have chosen your own approach to the robbery and hired the right specialists, you will need to complete a number of additional missions. So far (until further information from the developers) the composition and scope of these additional missions is not clear. But it can be assumed that before starting a robbery, the player will have to secure the financial side of the matter, steal vehicles used during the robbery, find a place to hide them, buy suits that accomplices will wear during the robbery, acquire the necessary weapons and equipment.
Grand Theft Auto V has developed (as far as it can be seen from the demo) almost all the finds and improvements in game action achieved in previous games in the Grand Theft Auto series. Most clearly these improvements are seen in the improvement of the movement of cars. Rockstar worked out the physics of the process in detail. Cars in the process of movement work out the relief of the underlying surface more clearly, we can say that they “hold the ground” better, and the mechanics of movement itself, even more closely matches the mechanics of racing games, compared to the rather heavy driving system in Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA 4), something like steering a ship.
The shooting process has been improved, both in terms of its realism and ease of development, and has become, relatively speaking, more comparable to the hand-to-hand combat technique in the game. You can switch between three aiming modes: free aim (free aiming), soft lock (average mode) or hard lock (manual aiming). The crosshair turns into a small "X" to indicate that the target has been hit. The sight can also change its color from white to red for target identification. While holding a weapon, you can change the view by changing the zoom level. There are new evasions and "shooting on the move", which allows you to move quickly with a weapon in your hands and helps you not to die when running. But all that concerns fire contact, of course, does not mean that hand-to-hand combat (simply speaking scuffle) in GTA 5 will be less exciting and exciting, and in some respects even more perfect, compared to the previous games in the series.
GTA 5 has a lot of unique features. One of the main ones is that while players control one of the three main characters in the game, the other two go on with their daily lives. You will probably be surprised to find a character doing something the moment you switch to it. It is especially important that the game action never stops when you change characters.
Another unique feature is the character change, done in the style of Google Earth. It was demonstrated during the Game Informer demo. You pressed the button, and a small character selection window appeared on the screen. When you select a character, the camera will zoom out, show you the entire game world, and then return to the new character. It will take a few seconds if they are far apart, and only a moment if they are together.
Changing characters has some limitations. For example, if the police are after you, then you cannot change the hero. Get rid of the chase first! Also, sometimes the game will automatically change characters.
There is always something to do in the game. Performing secondary tasks, you can do yoga, triathlon, tennis, full-length golf (there is a nine-hole golf course in the game, you can choose a golf club) or go scuba diving, drive a jet ski (jet skiing), jump from parachute (base-jumping), take part in off-road racing, go hunting, test yourself in flight competitions. And you can rob stores, pick up hitchhikers and steal armored vans, perform crazy stunts and ... much more is available to you in the vast game world of Los Santos.
The mobile phone has also returned to the game. But now it will only be used to communicate and call your friends and access the Internet. Flipping off (Sending people) is another one new opportunity in GTA 5 that the player can use. (Rockstar recommended that you try this in different locations around Los Santos to see the effect, which will obviously be different. Depending on where the player does this, he will get different reactions from pedestrians ).
There are twice as many types of pedestrians in GTA 5 than before. Rockstar has also made changes to pedestrian behavior. Some of the pedestrians you see at bus stops in South Los Santos will reappear in Rockford Hills, working on the lawns and gardens of wealthy residents. There are a lot of eye-catching pedestrians on the streets. There are doubles, there are just mummers. Depending on the situation, the peds may run away, film you on the phone, or call the police. There are other features of the behavior of pedestrians. For example, unlike the main characters, they can fish.
There are also some, at first glance, insignificant elements that improve the game action, and at the same time help to better navigate the environment, time of day and geography of Los Santos. For example, the operation of the sprinkler system, initialized in the morning hours in fashionable areas of the city, such as Rockford Hills. It has also been confirmed that this will be the first game in the Grand Theft Auto series to have a mature and complete ecosystem.
GTA 5 on PC is a recognized masterpiece, the best game in their genre and the industry as a whole. Behind last years only a few projects have come close to the success of this incredible adventure that spans hundreds of hours or more.
Laudatory odes
Often in game reviews, the authors try to weigh all the pros and cons, get to the bottom of the small details in order to make an honest verdict. In the case of GTA 5, this tactic fails. No matter how long the inspection of this masterpiece lasts, the final result will be clear - 10 out of 10. Not because the developers just took their own concept and brought it to the ideal. It also plays a role, but behind every element of the world of San Andreas you can see the soul that the developers put into it.
GTA V - An excellent masterpiece of the gaming industry
You can praise the story, graphics and atmosphere for a long time, but an incredible amount has already been said about this. Thanks to GTA 5 on PC Fruit app has become so popular. To understand the full depth of the project, you should explore the underwater world, get acquainted with additional missions, and even spend the night under the bridge with various extravagant personalities. These are all optional classes, which many do not even suspect, but they exist and provide an opportunity to make an objective assessment of the project.
Story line
Many users complain that there is no voice acting in GTA 5 on PC and because of this it is difficult to perceive the plot. In fact, subtitles are enough to understand the whole splendor of the story that the developers have prepared. It all begins in 2004, when Michael, Trevor and their associate Brad Snyder commit a bank robbery, but they fail to escape from the FBI. The first hero is killed, and after a while it turns out that he is alive. In fact, Michael entered the witness protection program, bought himself a house and took a different last name. Soon his income is greatly reduced, and he decides to again step on the slippery slope of criminal cases.
In unusual circumstances, he meets Franklin - a young guy who is eager to participate in a big deal. Trevor soon joins the team and the trio of characters develop a grand plan. If they manage to complete it, then you can forget about the need to earn money for the rest of your life. Story missions are full of variety of events. From harassment with gunfights to silent penetration of objects - GTA 5 has it all. If you buy GTA 5 on Steam and completely go through this story, then long time all Hollywood blockbusters will seem sluggish and not very spectacular.
Game process
In GTA 5, the entire gameplay is based on a concept already familiar and tested over the years. The player is given control of a character, and this happens with a third-person view. In the story, at some points, there will be switching between heroes, and tasks for them are marked with the corresponding colors. This is where you can finish the story about the gameplay, because in the world of San Andreas there is complete freedom. Even after a thousand hours, you can not even start going through the main quests, but already buy up all the real estate, have time to play on the stock exchange and add all the available vehicles to the collection.
Transport in GTA 5
Players can upgrade their own character according to the method, what you do, this parameter grows. Management of all types of equipment has not gone away, users become kings of water, sky, land in races or free travel. In fact, the gameplay is familiar to all fans, but here again, to understand the depth, you should look at the little things. The increased number of weapons in GTA 5, vehicles, objects and big map the fans expected. But to learn the history of the Yeti and hunt for the wreckage of a spaceship - this has never happened before.
Development and system requirements
GTA 5 did not hit the computer right away. The first work on this project began back in 2008, and it took five whole years until the masterpiece saw the world. For the first time this happened on the consoles of the last generation. Then in 2014, the developers created versions for PS4 and Xbox One, which at the time were sold out in huge numbers. The PC version was just getting started. Publishers decided to respect this platform only in 2015, when most computers would be able to deliver 60 FPS even without the best hardware inside. Actually in GTA 5 PC system requirements no longer looks so intimidating.
Required for a comfortable game 8 gigabytes random access memory you can even in medium laptops, and the minimum four in six-year-old devices. Processor brand Intel Core 2 Q6600 with a clock speed of 2.4 GHz is suitable for running at low settings. For comfortable entertainment, the developers specified the Intel Core i5 3470 CPU at 3.2 GHz. The situation is similar with the video card. As a minimum, an NVIDIA 9800 GT is suitable, and an NVIDIA GTX 660 with 2 gigabytes is recommended. In the case of the central and graphic processor, the player may have parts similar in power from AMD, and the FPS in GTA 5 will be at the proper level.
Mods and online version
If GTA 5 low PC does not look very attractive, then at maximum settings the world simply immerses in realism. For many users, even this was not enough, and they began to create modifications. Now there is so much copyright content for the game that if only the system could pull. Highest quality textures, new types of transport with licenses, Russian cars and much more. With the help of modifications, it is even possible to add new tasks or some campaigns for passing. The main thing is to find what you want and install the files correctly. The GTA Online version, which is constantly updated, also deserves special attention of the players.
The multiplayer world of San Andreas has immersed millions of users so deeply that Rockstar Games has abandoned the additions to the single player mode. Instead, the creators decided to focus entirely on multiplayer. This is the same world, only with the possibility of constant development and competition with other users. The idea was good, but the implementation highest level. Even after five years from the release of GTA 5 Online, it keeps its brand, is updated with new interesting content and attracts users. That is why it is much more difficult for fans to imagine what a sequel could be like.
Operations with saves
Many users are interested in the ability to transfer save GTA 5 to themselves. This is usually done in order to see open opportunities after passing the project 100 percent. The developers give such craftsmen a special T-shirt, the opportunity to complete a task with a yeti and find flying saucers in Los Santos. There is not always a desire to engage in a complete walkthrough. Will have to pass Additional tasks, look for random events, pass various tests and the like. At the same time, I want to try out the hidden content, and therefore the only method is to transfer the saves.
The owners of the pirated version need to transfer the downloaded files along the path C:\ProgramData\Socialclub\RLD!\, and the last directory will be with different numbers. License holders must follow the sequence C:\Users\Username\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles, and the last folder has an eight-character name. It is recommended to download files only from trusted resources. If you go to an unreliable site, then there is a risk of encountering viruses, from which you will then have to clean the operating system.
