Hasta La Gadget!

Playing a great game is fun during the process of playing, but once everything has been done, it gets kind of sad to see the game you’ve enjoyed come to an end. Well for those hoping that they wouldn’t run into a similar situation with Rockstar’s upcoming Grand Theft Auto 5, you’re in luck as the Rockstar’s Dan Houser has stated that the game has an expected competition time of about 100 hours, which means that you’d have to play the game for a little over four days straight to complete it, with no breaks in between!

Don’t you think that it is pretty cool whenever something from the world of video games end up as a real life object? Here we are with another example for you to look forward to, in one of the most anticipated games of the year, Grand Theft Auto 5, also known as GTA 5 in short. We are referring to a real life model of the Bravado Banshee that you can find in GTA 5, as engineers have successfully referenced the model and textures of the in-game car.

The Rockstar Games blog mentioned, “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 Banshee.”

It is through the use of referencing both model and textures of the in-game car that the interior was specially handcrafted and stitched together, in order to capture the look and feel of its cockpit. Both seats have been upholstered and embroidered with the Banshee name and insignia to add that extra level of realism.

Grand Theft Auto 5, or rather, GTA 5 for short, looks more than ready to explode off the blocks despite some leaks from Sony that has left Rockstar Games affected negatively and ‘deeply disappointed’ because it would detract from the first time gaming experience of the new title due to spoilers. For those of you who cannot get enough about leaks and screenshots of the upcoming game, fret not – it seems that at 4pm UK time (that would be 11am Eastern time on August 29th) , Rockstar would drop a new trailer for GTA 5.

Rockstar did announce the timing on its website earlier this evening, where this particular new GTA 5 trailer will be shown as well on American TV when the upcoming episode of Breaking Bad happens later this Sunday, September 1st. In Rockstar’s very own words, “The Official Trailer for Grand Theft Auto V will debut here at the Rockstar Newswire and on the GTAV site this Thursday, August 29th at 11AM Eastern. Also look for it to debut on TV this Sunday night during Breaking Bad.”

It remains to be seen just what will be thrown into the trailer, although fans will definitely be able to look forward to a slew of (hopefully) new footage.

It was just the other day that Sony accidentally leaked (which they have since apologized for) some game files of Rockstar’s upcoming Grand Theft Auto 5, and now it looks like Sony has once again caused some confusion and a bit of a PR mess for Rockstar by tweeting the wrong console. According to a tweet by Sony UK in response to a fan, “@mrxmas123 GTA V is going to be amazing, especially on the PS4! What other games are you looking forward to playing, Norman?”

Naturally this caused a bit of confusion not to mention excitement since GTA 5 has yet to be announced for next-gen consoles simply because the number of gamers using current-gen consoles is higher, thus the game would be able to reach out to a wider audience at launch. When Kotaku reached out to Rockstar to comment on the tweet, they claim that it was in fact a typo, and that Sony UK’s Twitter account was not directly related to Sony’s PlayStation division which might explain the confusion. In any case it appears to be a false alarm for now, so if you were excited about GTA 5 for next-gen consoles, we’re sorry for dashing your hopes!

Right smack at noon today, we talked about how Sony apologized for the GTA 5 leak, but apparently an apology is able to patch a particular “wound”, although the hurt is still there as Rockstar seem to be feeling that at the moment as a company. Rockstar Games did announce, “We’re pleased to confirm that Grand Theft Auto V has officially gone gold and we’re now preparing the game for release on September 17th for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Unfortunately, as many of you may already know, some people who downloaded the digital pre-order of Grand Theft Auto V through the PlayStation Store in Europe were able to access certain GTAV assets leading to leaked information and media from the game appearing online. As you can imagine, we are deeply disappointed by leaks and spoilers being spread in advance of the game’s launch. GTAV represents years of hard work by many people across the world, and we all couldn’t be more excited to finally share it with you properly this September 17th.”

Do you think that a leak and some spoilers would change your perspective on the game, or will it stop you from purchasing it? I don’t think so, but it will definitely be able to detract from the feeling of playing a game for the first time without knowing what is in store for you. Rockstar did mention that they still have additional details to share about GTA 5 between now and its September 17th official release date.
