The Interview Controversy Sheds Troubling Light On Video Game Acceptance
While Fonteno did not explicitly state that the DLC in question is for GTA V 's story mode, it is incredibly likely. This time last year, Rockstar explained that "For those ready to jump back into the story of Grand Theft Auto V, we have big plans for substantial additions in 2014 continuing Michael, Franklin and Trevor's action, mayhem and unexpected adventures in Southern San Andre
Spotted by forum member 'Metalmarc' over on NeoGAF , a listing for the game — as taken from Czech retail website SuperGamer.cz reveals a GTA 5 title available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One formats. Also included in the product's description is the tentative release date of June 13, 2
The content of these games shouldn't matter. The greater principle at stake here is the idea that people should be free to express their ideas, a value clearly held dearly by movie-goers but not so much by the gaming community. Society has spoken about movies: we want any film, regardless of how controversial the subject matter, to be available to the public in an exercise of our right to free speech and ideal of free expression. The question remains when, if ever, will society feel the same way about video games?
As they say, the reason it might seem familiar is because of its prominent appearance in the opening of GTA III . Since then, it has appeared in every other GTA 5 vehicles|https://gta5play.Com/ game. Keen-eyed gamers may remember it from its most recent iteration as the car you drive when you chase the back-stabbing garbageman Luca Silvestri to his death in GTA IV and as the car Lenny Petrovic is driving before you riddle him with bullets. They also may remember it as the car you can sell for a measly $800 in scrap metal in GTA Chinatown Wa
Grand Theft Auto has long been a series that allowed users to express their creativity in the form of mods for the series's single-player mode. Recently, the author of the popular modding tool OpenIV received a cease and desist letter from publisher Take-Two Interactive. The creators of other modding tools, such as " Menyoo " and " Force Hax, " have received similar letters, however these modding tools were being used specifically to influence Grand Theft Auto V 's multiplayer mode. In response to the modding purge, fans of OpenIV have taken to Steam , Google , and Change.org to voice their frustrat
In the hopes of delivering a message to Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive, fans of the OpenIV modding tool have amassed over 40 thousand signatures on their Change.org petition . The petition states that thousands of players have both lost the ability to mod their game and to pursue their passion for single-player modd
The video game industry has been embroiled in this sort of controversy for the past few weeks leading up to the news about The Interview. In two separate events, the gaming community (and even some outside the gaming community) have shown a willingness to accept and often times support acts comparable to Sony's just as often as it condemns them. The first happened when Target and Kmart stores in Australia decided they would not carry Grand Theft Auto V due to its depictions of violence against women . Then days ago, Hatred, the game that may yet actually morph into a scolding-hot button, was pulled from Steam Greenlight .
When both of these incidents took place, there was controversy. Debate ensued with two sides each offering up different points and demanding equal validity. But Sony has been met with almost universal admonishment after pulling The Interview. A quick search of The Interview mentions on Twitter reveals a starkly one-sided picture. A tweet by Judd Apatow (long-time associate of Rogen's) calling the move by Sony "disgraceful" was retweeted more than 5 thousand times in 11 hours.
However, before we all get too hyped-up about the presented possibility and despite Vern's track record, let's once again reiterate that this is by no means a confirmation -- the user himself has reiterated that in his post. Shall this rumor holds any merit and turns into reality, then that's obviously great. But in the meantime, it's for the best to just wait for the official announcement that GTAV is indeed coming to Nintendo Swi
The DLC timeline of GTA IV also suggests that GTA V could be in line for some story DLC of its own soon. GTA IV 's The Ballad of Gay Tony and Lost and Damned DLC packs were released less than a year and a half after the release of the core game - so if Rockstar is employing a similar release strategy, we'd better get our wallets re
Popular video game **Grand Theft Auto V ** could be making its way to Nintendo Switch . The action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games has garnered a cult following, ramping up the success that the franchise has been enjoying since it was first released in 2008. The latest iteration in the game series, which was rolled-out in 2013, takes players to the fictional location of Los Santos, San Andreas state of San Andreas, where every gamer can live out their best (or worst) thieving dre
