Making Grand Theft Auto pay
If you’re a hardcore video gamer, you’ve probably been up all night playing Grand Theft Auto V on your Playstation or Xbox.
The latest version of GTA feels like a gritty, interactive film. And it’s as expensive as a blockbuster movie, too. The game cost around $265 million to make.
Like so much coming out of Hollywood, this is a “tentpole” property that producers can count on. Greg Miller is a host at the video game news site, IGN. He says dedicated gamers have been waiting for a new GTA ever since the last edition, released in 2008.
“Grand Theft Auto is that game where everyone who plays video games, it seems, has that memory,” says Miller. “This game is going to do insane numbers.”
