Grand Theft Auto V Makes 800 Million In Its First 24 Hours
For example, CVG reports that the game smashed retail records in the UK, quickly becoming the biggest video game launch ever seen. The game sold 1.57 million units for a total of around $104 million in Britain, plowing through the previous record set by Call of Duty: Black Ops which sold around 1.41 million units on its launch day. To put that in perspective, the UK has a population of around 63 million, meaning that more then 1 in 60 people in the entire country own a copy. That is a lot after just one day on the mar
Overall, The NPD Group explained that consumers spent $605.2 million on gaming products at retailers in January, marking a 4% decrease from the same time last year ($627.6 million in January 2015). Hardware sales also accounted for $157 million in January, marking a 15% decrease from $185.4 million in the same period last y
The popular franchise has proven a suitable playground for modification, most notably by JulioNIB , who put Hulk and Spider-Man in GTA IV a few years back. And now, the modder has created an impressive and authentic Iron Man mod for GTA V that proves why the hero is so fit for the gaming screen. Check out the video ab
That said, there's hardly much to complain about in Julio's mod; and if you keep watching, you'll even see Iron Man perform an elbow drop into a tank and swat a flying helicopter to the ground. The destruction factor is fun, entertaining, and spectacular, but it provides only a tease of what the character is capable of in terms of story and developm
Grand Theft Auto V will continue to sell like hot cakes and it will be very interesting to see just how large the gross number becomes over the course of the next week, hopefully with a solid number on units sold surfacing. While it is utterly futile to compare a game and a movie, it would be fascinating to see just how it compared to some of the biggest ever movie releases, especially as the series won't be transitioning to the big screen its
The NPD Group released their full statistics and chart for January 2016, with the top 10-selling physical releases for January 2016 listed below (platform listings for each title are ordered by top-selling platfo
Moving on to GTA 5 collectibles|https://gta5play.com/ V's setting - it's big. Actually, big is a completely insufficient word to describe Rockstar's new and improved Los Santos. Art Director, Aaron Garbut, explains that "When you include interior and exterior spaces together, Los Santos is bigger than the worlds of Red Dead Redemption , San Andreas and GTA IV combined, with room to spare." That statement boggles the mind. However impressive that fact may be, we can only hope that Rockstar isn't merely aiming for quantity, with GTA V .
Following its dominance for overall game sales in 2015, Call of Duty: Black Ops III once again took the crown for the top game sales of January 2016 with Xbox One as its top selling platform, while several regulars like Grand Theft Auto V , Minecraft , and the EA Sports franchises all took a place on the cha
Grand Theft Auto V was always destined to make a ton of cash being one of, if not the biggest franchise in all of gaming. It was certainly going to need to after becoming the most expensive video game ever produced. Bloomberg had predicted that the franchise would make a billion within its first month, which seems to be a somewhat misjudged prediction now. Mostly because, after becoming one of the highest rated games of all-time , it should reach the billion mark point in just its first two d
It's been more than a year since Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online released, yet the highly requested implementation of online heists are still missing from the game. Over the year we've gone from hearing next to nothing about it; being told it's coming soon, then learning it'll come in an update after the current-gen versions release. Contrary to the hopes of a late December release due to a rumor of the content's date , however, eager GTA Online players will have to wait until 2015 for the online heists. Specifically, 'early 2015.' The teasing (and lengthy waiting) contin
Complete with flight capabilities and repulsor beams, the mod does far more than provide players an Iron Man Mark III skin; it lets players become Iron Man and utilize some of his signature weaponized powers. These include the ability to hover a few feet above the ground, rocket punch enemies and vehicles with ease, soar through the air at a great speed using both glove and boot rockets, and fire rocket blasts from his chest reactor. One of the only faculties really missing in the mod, aside from Tony Stark's silver-tongued wit and irresistible charm, is the character's shoulder-mounted guns and flares - oh, and of course, Jar
Regarding romance in GTA V , Dan Houser (Vice President, Rockstar Games) said that he didn't think it would work for the story Rockstar is trying to tell and the characters that feature in that narrative. Although, romance will not play a role in GTA V , Rockstar mentioned that each of the three protagonists will have their own set of friends that players will be able to get to know during their time in Los Santos.
