Grand Theft Auto 5

Grand Theft Auto 5 was originally going to be released around March, but for some reason they delayed it, now the release date is September 17, 2013. This Grand Theft Auto game will have 3 different protagonists, that will have different stories, but these stories will have a relation between each other. The names of the 3 protagonists are: Michael, Trevor and Franklin.


Grand Theft Auto 5 will try to improve many of the aspects that have been introduced in previous games. Another impressive thing that this game promises, is that the developers mentioned that the map for this game will be bigger than the maps of Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto 4 combined. With this information, we can imagine about how big will the map for this game could possibly be, which seems to be a huge map. There will be many kind of activities spread through all the map, including skydiving, climbing, exploring mountains, driving water vehicle, using planes, military bases and more.


Since there are 3 main characters, you are going to be using the 3 of them through all the game, but in different missions and in different moments. This will help the 3 stories to connect and have more relation between the characters and their stories. This is based on the story mode, but while you are free roaming you can change between these 3 characters to explore the world. Another thing that has been added to the game is the underwater gameplay. Now we are going to be able to go underwater, some ways and pictures there have been about this is while scuba diving and in a submarine.


There has been also many highlights in the areas the map will contain, areas like mountains, ocean, wilderness, deserts, military bases, and more areas. Another element that has been improved is the environment and the weather. The environment will include aspects like clouds, lightning, details depending if its the wilderness, mountains, streets or other places. For the weather there has been improvements in aspects like lightnings, rain, how ocean water is affected depending on the actual weather, the change in the physics while using vehicles including cars, planes, boats, bikes and more depending on the weather.


This game has a lot of potential to be a huge release, and even more now that the next-gen consoles are around the corner. Hopefully this game will use all of the current generation consoles power, and will show some of the capabilities for the next-gen consoles. This game has been announced for the Xbox 360 and the PS3, they haven't mentioned anything about the next-gen consoles, but hopefully in the future they will release more details about that.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Get ready, because Big Boss is back, a new game is in its way. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been announced recently. The time period of the game is around 1983.


The game has just been announced, and there is not much information about it yet, but for now, if we take the into account the time period this gaming is going to have, we can see it's almost between the Metal Gear Solid timeline. This means after Snake Eater, Peace Walker, and some others, and also before Guns of the Patrios, Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2 and some others. 



Based on the information that has been released, we can see that this game could explain what happend between the games Ground Zeroes (1974) and Metal Gear (1995), explaining what happened between those years. Ground Zeroes is also set to be a prologue to Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain, which could explain and show many details about this new release.


In the trailer we can see it shows many scenes of Big Boss in the hospital and how he is trying to scape, also like some dream or fantasy scenes he may be having. Also including some scenes of Big Boss in action, maybe before or after he was taking to the hospital because of his injuries. Those could be some possibilities based on the trailer and the information we have now. There is still much information that needs to get revealed.



Hopefully further information will reveal details like, why is Big Boss in the hospital? Why can't he move? Who is trying to kill him? Why are they trying to kill him? How did he lost his arm? and more questions so we can have a better perspective about this game.

Edward Kenway is a pirate trained by assassins, but with his own goals, which are to achieve fame and power, he does not follow the same goals the Assassin's order do, how could this affect his story line?



The naval fights have been updated and polished, to make now a better and more complete version for this pirates plot. This game will also include huge maps with a lot of environment to explore, with the change that the whole map will be now load at once, to prevent those loading screen that broke the flow of the game.
