Making sure the three protagonists continue to feel unique was another point of concern for Rockstar. In third-person, where you’re looking down at them, you can clearly see who you’re playing as and what’s going on around them but that’s not as easy to replicate in first-person. So the studio adjusted the animations to fit the new mode: Franklin, Michael and Trevor all have their own idle animations (and probably different hand models), and if a character is speaking to you when you look over at them, you’ll see they’re looking back at you, making eye-cont
After the main questions, there was a Q&A session with the fans doling out the questions. One question asked the actors if they could pick any other character from any game to voice, who would they choose. Fonteno, unsurprisingly, would voice CJ from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas . He even hinted at a future event with CJ and Franklin, but the details remain a mystery. Ogg wants to voice Mario from the Super Mario Bros. series. Luke, answering in true Trevor fashion, would play the Blue Ghost from Pac
«Our initial idea was to build on the concept of Story Mode heists to make a new gameplay experience for GTA Online that was more focused on cooperation, where everyone could play to their individual strengths and feel like they had a stake in the outcome. One of the challenges is that unlike a heist in Story Mode, every player needs to feel central to the action at all times, and that’s much more challenging than it appe
Luke enjoyed the relationship he had between the other two actors and Ogg actually brought up an interesting point: the motion capture staff team were, according to him, «these genius kids» that came up with unique and creative ways to represent certain objects in the game, such as using apple crates to represent trailer st
Would the addition of a new perspective actually change how you play Grand Theft Auto V or is it just a gimmick? According to IGN who previewed the new mode, it’s a change that not only offers a new way to play, but a new way to see and interactive with every part of the world. Take a simple walk down the sidewalk, and you may now notice the subtle reactions the NPC make as you walk by. Supposedly, little details like characters glancing at you have always been in the game, but it becomes far more noticeable in first-person m
Let’s start with the three protagonists mentioned earlier today. GTA V will allow players to take control of three protagonists called Michael (pictured above), Trevor and Franklin. The protagonist’s all contribute to GTA 5 updates|https://gta5play.com/ V’s intertwining narrative and Rockstar allows players to freely switch between the three characters at any time.
The Grand Theft Auto V panel at NYCC was a gathering of passionate fans and the amazing motion capture actors: Ned Luke who plays Michael, Shawn «Solo» Fonteno who plays Franklin and Steven Ogg who plays Trevor. The panel naturally began with a bang, as Ogg threw T-shirts into the audience, riling them up for handouts and autographs for a good several minu
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
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
«You have to change pretty much everything. I mean, if you want to do it right. We have a very solid third-person animation system, but you don’t just put the camera down there and expect to see the guns, aim, and sh
The first question the actors were asked was how there first got involved with the game and their feelings on it. Fonteno felt that «it was an honor to be here» and Ogg reportedly said, upon seeing the script, that «ain’t nobody else doing it.» Luke elaborated on the experience itself as being «really intense and very physical.» Apparently the actors auditioning for the role took it very seriously, which is a great th
All three of GTA V’s protagonists will also be able engage in several side activities. However, Rockstar wanted to give Michael, Trevor and Franklin certain unique hobbies, exclusive to them. What those specific hobbies are remains a mystery but Rockstar did mention that activities such as yoga, Jet Skiing, tennis, triathlons, base-jumping and golf will feature in the game. Rockstar also said that the core gameplay mechanics found in GTA V , such as driving, shooting and melee combat have largely been rebuilt from the ground up.
