Are many away from work this week?
In case there is every reason to suspect any game happy – but missing – counterparts to bring a little light on work duty. Grand Theft Auto V is in fact here, world history’s third most expensive entertainment product ever, and it has got people all over the world to go crazy in the stores.
And now the numbers inside. First day selling game of giant 800 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to 4.7 billion Norwegian kroner. The report Techhive.
It should indeed be said that the figure includes pre-sales and pre-sales have become an increasingly important part of the sale of big game titles. But anyway. The game should have cost a quarter of a billion dollars to create. So the developers of the Scottish games company Rockstar North has every reason to help themselves once the extra dessert tonight.
Game Series Grand Theft Auto started in 1997 as a Sim City-like driving game set in bird’s eye view of the Playstation 1, DOS and Gameboy.
But it was only with the transition to 3D graphics, with game number three in the series, it really took off.
Accompanied by jaws and moral objections from politicians all over the world was Grand Theft Auto 3 for Playstation 2 a huge success.
And even though the game has always been known in the media as the archetypal voldsorgien, as a vacuous game that only cash in on teen murder fantasies, the games among connoisseurs always been recognized for storytelling, parodies of American society and its technical achievements.
short: the GTA games have always been very, very good.
And now they can cash in.
