'GTA V' Online Heists Coming 'Early 2015' For All Platforms

Fortunately, as seen above, Rockstar Games has introduced a brand new trailer for the multiplayer feature that may or may not hold people over until next year. Also, as it turns out, the heists are a four-player co-op mode, with one person as the leader and the other playing simple crew members. The player in the leader role is tasked with recruiting other players, assigning roles, picking appropriate heisting outfits and the like, while the other members just have to show up, do their job correctly, and make it to "each Heist’s epic fina

Spotted by forum member 'Metalmarc' over on NeoGAF , a listing for the game — as taken from Czech retail website SuperGamer.cz reveals a GTA 5 title available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One formats. Also included in the product's description is the tentative release date of June 13, 2

The big movie news cannot be ignored: Sony decided it will not go forward with it's plans to release The Interview, a Seth Rogen film about a plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. Sony was hacked and received threats, while the number of respectable movie chains who would take the film was dwindling. All at once, the internet (save for a few rogue supporters) cried out about free speech, bowing to terrorist demands and all-around support for Rogen and his now-canceled film. The equally troubling news is that no one cares when this happens to a video game.

With regards to what's next for GTA V and GTA Online , Sarwar stated that the goal now is to release the heists and see what people think of them. If there's one thing the GTA community won't fall behind one, it's letting Rockstar hear their opinions. So expect those heists to be blown wide open when they debut next year, and patched/balanced shortly afterwa

For a chance at being that one person, you will have to head over to the GameStop website and enter . It's set up in an old fashioned new-tractor-at-the-county-fair style lottery, only instead of dollars the currency used is "PowerUp Rewards Points." 1 entry costs 200 points, 7 entries costs 1,000 points and 15 entries costs 2,000 points. Sadly, if you don't have a GameStop account and have no points, you can only enter zero times. This is truly an exclusive that GameStop was lucky to sc

According to IGN , Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive revealed that GTA V made $800 million dollars in its first day of trading, to which they are quite understandably "thrilled" with. The company revealed that the game became "the highest first day retail sales of any title in the history of the company and the Grand Theft Auto series." For a company that has the entire back catalog of GTA 5 News , as well as games like Red Dead Redemption , that is no small feat. But that statement might still be selling this success sh

Ever since its debut as the getaway car in the opening moments of Grand Theft Auto III , the Bravado Banshee has been a symbol of the ultimate American sports car. With its aggressive, oversized styling and powerful engine, it became a mainstay as one of the most sought after high-performance rides from coast to coast - from Liberty City all the way to Los Santo

At launch, there will be five separate heists, comprised of at least 20 missions. Heists will, of course, be replayable, allowing players to try out the different roles and maybe, just maybe, understand what it's like to be the getaway dri

The video game industry has been embroiled in this sort of controversy for the past few weeks leading up to the news about The Interview. In two separate events, the gaming community (and even some outside the gaming community) have shown a willingness to accept and often times support acts comparable to Sony's just as often as it condemns them. The first happened when Target and Kmart stores in Australia decided they would not carry Grand Theft Auto V due to its depictions of violence against women . Then days ago, Hatred, the game that may yet actually morph into a scolding-hot button, was pulled from Steam Greenlight .

Significant work went into creating this real world version of the 2013 model featured in Grand Theft Auto V . Utilizing state-of-the-art fabrication technologies, molds for the exterior were cut and machined piece-by-piece for the high performance base vehicle. With these molds each panel was laid out by hand to create an entirely new exterior resulting in a screen accurate reproduction of the Bans

"After many months of designing, testing, rewriting and re-testing, we settled on the four-player structure that you will experience in the game. It took a ton of work from our programmers and mission designers to make it work at the level we were happy wi

When both of these incidents took place, there was controversy. Debate ensued with two sides each offering up different points and demanding equal validity. But Sony has been met with almost universal admonishment after pulling The Interview. A quick search of The Interview mentions on Twitter reveals a starkly one-sided picture. A tweet by Judd Apatow (long-time associate of Rogen's) calling the move by Sony "disgraceful" was retweeted more than 5 thousand times in 11 hours.
