Before GTAV took us to the sun-bleached sidewalks and humming concrete freeways of present-day Los Santos and beyond, there was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the biggest GTA of the PS2 era. Now, head back to the early 90s with CJ and the Grove Street Families when Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas comes to mobile devices next month. Encompassing Los Santos, San Fierro, Las Venturas and everything in between, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has been upgraded for its mobile release. Newly remastered graphics including dynamic and detailed shadows, greater draw distance, an enriched color palette, plus enhanced character and car models make this the best-looking version of San Andreas yet. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas also features brand new touch controls including contextual control options to ...
After a lot of talk about the fact that developers are unconcerned with PC optimization, Ubisoft has responded with a brief showcase of the design process behind games like Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Contrary to reports in the media, Ubisoft designers are “PC fans,” according to a new post by Communications Manager Gary Steinman. Steinman, a former editor of PC Gamer, had additional comments from Ubisoft associate producer Sylvain Trottier, who he says was “re-quoted out of context” in the media with regard to the PC version of ACIV. Trottier feels there is some confusion about how and when PCs are pushed to their maximum during the development process. Before any optimization work begins, there is an earlier phase that is all about discovering where the...

There is absolutely no doubt that Rockstar nailed it with GTA V. Another major factor to the success of GTA V is GTA Online which though had some hiccups when it started but it all got very interesting as they ironed out the bugs and rolled out a stimulus package and gave players a sizable chunk of cash ($500,000) Since then, we’ve seen lots of guides to how to spend the money, including smart suggestions like buying real estate and customising a car to make you a big deal in the online world, but none seems to have identified the pitfalls and mistakes you could make with your blood money. Let’s be honest it is way too easy to waste money in GTA Online. Rockstar clearly knows that players are going to waste their pay-off, but even they are probably unaware of just how incredibly frivolous ...
