Unless you were born in 2008, you should be able to gauge how society has changed in the last 5 years.

Maybe he doesn't have a TV, or a computer, and he's just typing this on a typewriter in the past from 1955.

What's his real name, Marty McFly?

 

I think the change in location will affect the changes, much more than the five year time gap. Overall, much is the same as 2008, the world was in sh*t back then & it still is now. People seem to have become even more shallow, in an attempt to distract themselves from the dire situation most people are in.

The biggest themes that have been constant between and in both 2008 and 2013:

 

- Technology has advanced; more people have smartphones as shadyslady said.

- The rise of social media, it's come a long way since the era of myroomonline.net.

- The economy took a nosedive in 2008. This will be a new theme for GTA. IV was released before it all happened (the GFC).

- Music trends have changed, with public taste sliding away from hip hop and the like to pop and electronic music (most of which is terrible).

- Political changes. Obama got elected after IV was released.

- 'Terrorism' has dominated the news year-in, year-out. The media's portrayal of what terrorism is and who a 'terrorist' is, has changed as well.

Average white guy
The graphics have gotten worse, but hopefully we have better frame rate.

Graphic gotten worse? Lol what

 

It's better than most of the other games for current gen console

GTA V looks even better than next-gen games turn.gif
