GTA V most expensive game ever

GTA V most expensive game ever

It seems that GTA V goes into history as the most expensive game ever made with a marketing and development budget of a whopping £170 million (that's $265 million). The game has been developed by Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games over a five-year period and looks set to become one of the best selling games of the current console generation. It has already received 2.5 million pre-orders. Such is the success of the series, industry experts believe its latest incarnation will rewrite the record books, shifting 25 million copies in the first year alone, achieving sales of £1bn. Confidence in the release is such that shares in Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar’s parent firm, have nearly doubled in value in the past year.

The new game revolves around a satirical recreation of southern California. With players able to switch between three protagonists, the 49-square-mile world boasts a welter of activities, such as scuba diving with sharks and hijacking trains.

For those who have watched the franchise grow from its humble roots in an office in Dundee’s Perth Road – the first base for Rockstar’s predecessor, DMA Design – to arguably the largest entertainment product in the world, there is little doubt the new release will be a huge hit.

I have the PS3 version pre-ordered but even with the next-gen consoles looming on the horizon it's hard for me not to be excited and hyped up about this amazing sounding game. It looks incredible in the trailers I've seen, granted there's not that many of them, and it certainly promises to be the most indepth open world game yet in terms of things to do. The larger size does worry me a little as I was one of the few people who didn't like San Andreas that much because it felt too big and empty (plus I found the characters and story unlikeable too, which didn't help).

I just hope that I'm not disappointed with the latest game. I don't expect to be, this is Rockstar after all, but all the same I'm feeling a nervous that the game might not live up to expectations. Hyped up games have a tendency to do that, unfortunately. It's hard to believe the game is only a week away now.

Those idiots at Sega should release the last part.

Seriously nobody will remember the game anymore... They promised a HD rerelease too.

But GTA wise... we still do remember GTA and slaughtering Jehovah's Witnesses(man I liked that :D).

When there will be a PC release!!!

Part in the problem was that 3 wasn't the end either, the plot was designed to have a hell of a lot of games.

I think you're a bit late with that statement, Shenmue was usurped a while ago.
