‘Grand Theft Auto 5’ Reveals Online Gameplay Feature

Posted byBy Leo | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

With its release less than a month away, Grand Theft Auto 5 released a new video highlighting their online gameplay feature. The Rockstar games title teased the multi-player feature last month in their ‘gameplay’ trailer, and now the new video shows the multi-player feature in full detail. According to forbes.com:

“An extensive Gamespot preview describes the game as a balancing act between the curated experience of a single-player campaign and the mayhem that is an online game (or just sandbox GTA). From the video, posted below, it looks every bit as convincing as the main game. In a nutshell, Grand Theft Auto Online takes place in a 16 player sandbox. You play a hood making his or her way towards building a criminal empire via all the usual methods — robbery, parachuting, arm-wrestling, shooting people, etc. You can fight against or with your partners in mayhem, or you can participate in the wide range of diversionary activities. It all gets you money, which you use to buy guns, cars, apartments and cornrows. There is a stock market.”

This is truly an extensive gameplay experience that Grand Theft Auto 5 is offering. And it will only get better as Rockstar games say they plan to keep adding to the online experience in the future, which will make the game more like the real world.

Grand Theft Auto 5 will be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 17, and the online gaming option will be available October 1.

 

 

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
