Tori_95 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 thats cool haha i love this: ¨Q. At this stage in the process, what’s left to do with Grand Theft Auto V? A. We are editing, fixing, removing, replacing, adding, avidly. It’s the equivalent of, if you wrote a book, and you had two million spelling mistakes. ¨ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty predictable that they'd have at least 1 character turn against the others. It's no spoiler at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA36362355 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Cool! Just at the conceptual level, the idea was three separate stories that you play in one game. The next bit was, let’s not have the stories intersect once or twice but have them completely interwoven. It felt like it was going to be a real narrative strength: you get to play the protagonist and the antagonist in the same story. "you get to play the protagonist and the antagonist in the same story." I think, what we had in IV will be repeated albeit with more complexity and outcomes. DECISIONS!

i am a girl on the internet Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Q. The closest thing to Grand Theft Auto I can think of that someone is doing in a different medium is the work of David Simon, who has tried to capture cities, in “The Wire” but even more so in “Treme.” It’s quite different, but TV is similar in the sense that people spend 30, 40 hours with a show. A. I haven’t seen “Treme.” I never even saw “The Wire.” One of my weird disciplines is that I don’t really watch a lot of those shows, if they relate to what we do. I only watched a tiny bit of “The Sopranos.” No “Boardwalk Empire.” No “Breaking Bad.” Wherever it’s too close to crime, gangster, underbelly fiction, and it’s supercontemporary, I decided, for professional reasons, I have to avoid it. Thank God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusRIP Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) Can't believe he managed to not watch breaking bad Respect + for Dan Houser not ever watching Breaking Bad. It's just another rubbish old American TV show that is over sensationalized. I'm sick of people trying to throw it in my face like it's this groundbreaking new invention that they've never heard of a Film/TV show that is actually "half" decent. Protagonist becoming antagonist? Bitch, please... Has nobody heard of a little guy you might know, his name is Alfred Hitchcock. He experimented with things like false protagonists in Psycho, and this same idea (protagonist to antagonist) in Vertigo. So Breaking Bad's premise is about 50 years old...

GTA36362355 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 It’s a world brought to life, in which you are able to exist and explore and have the benefits of some kind of narrative pull-through, a world that exists and doesn’t exist at the same time. We’ve made something that sort of is Los Angeles and sort of isn’t. And that’s deliberate, that it isn’t an exact replication of it. We wanted this post-crash feeling, because it works thematically in this game about bank robbers. And that seems like it’s going to endure through the next year.

Originality doesn't always mean success. Breaking bad is awesome because of its character development. It is the best show on television hands down. Some people won't watch it just to be against the grain and they r just spiting themselves. And to throw the American card is a bitch move.
