We are now ten games into our epic Grand Theft Auto retrospective, get ready for one hell of a ride!
Grand Theft Auto IV (2008) PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PCFor the fourth game in the Grand Theft Auto series, RockStar wanted something a little more real and gritty than what the past few games had offered. For this, they took the game back to Liberty City. This time though, Liberty City was much larger and far more realistic and was actually based on New York.
Grand Theft Auto was heavily story driven. You play as Niko Bellic who has moved to the USA from Serbia to see his cousin Roman, work for him, have a better life and in general live the American dream. The story is very well written and it is as much the supporting cast of characters that you must deal with that really make it as much as Niko himself. Before long, Niko is pulled into the world of crime and violence. GTA IV was so gritty and violent that it caused a ton of controversy.
As well as the single player, Grand Theft Auto IV also had a co-op and competitive multiplayer which supported up to 32 players which was pretty huge at the time.
Grand Theft Auto IV was the first GTA game to be released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It was not only critically acclaimed but at the time of release, it was the fastest selling video game… actually, forget that. It was the fastest selling piece of entertainment in history! It was also supported with DLC, which we will look at another time!
As you know, here at Mods R Us, we are huge COD fans. That is why all of our modded PlayStation and Xbox controllers are designed with Call Of Duty in mind. Anyway, while we love the multiplayer action that Call Of Duty always offers. It is actually the single player campaign that is really capturing our attention and we recently just found out a few more details.
While the main aspect of the story is Red Daniels and his brother who are from Texas and their experiences in the war. It has been revealed that players will also experience what it was like for a pilot from the RAF, a tank commander and even a female French resistance fighter. While the brotherly dynamic of Red and his brother as they go through the hells of war is the front and center of the story. It does sound like, Activision has really created a great cast of characters that we are going to care about here.
We think this is great news as the story modes in Call Of Duty games have always been about the spectacle. Call Of Duty WWII sounds like it is going to have a lot of heart and make us really care about these characters that are being put through hell.
So while we will no doubt spend hundreds of hours with the multiplayer modes in Call Of Duty WWII, we can assure you that the story is going to be something we really sink our teeth into.
