Grand Theft Auto V’s hype train is faster than a Japanese bullet train at this point. This morning we’ve got a dozen screenshots from the game (in oddly-low resolution – we are asking for embiggened versions) showing off some of the “High Life” you’ll get to live in the game. If jets, car racing, strippers, fast boats, attack helicopters, quad runners, yachts, and even a little suntanning are your bag, it sounds like GTAV’s got you covered. If you live under a rock and don’t have Internet (HOW ARE YOU READING THIS?!) then you might not know about GTAV. Let me help you, weary Internet-imagination-person:
Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
Look for Grand Theft Auto V to hit shelves on September 17th, 2013 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
