PlayStation 4 and Xbox One , the much-hyped next-generation home video game consoles, have dominated video game headlines since E3, but even they must bow down before Rockstar Games' almighty Grand Theft Auto V.
Grand Theft Auto V is Rockstar Game's most ambitious game to date, as it features an insane level of detail and interactivity that make it one of the most impressive sandbox titles in the video game industry. You can work, play, steal, and chill in digital world that builds on gameplay design mechanics that Rockstar Games has continually refined since the groundbreaking Grand Theft Auto III: Liberty City.
Players will spend the majority of their in-game time in Los Santos, a fictionalized version of Los Angeles. That name should ring a bell; Los Santos was one of the three metropolises (along with San Fierros and Las Venturas) featured in the PlayStation 2 gangsta classic, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Although the location may be familiar, Grand Theft Auto V is no simple retread. Yes, you jack rides, dabble in crime, and wage war on rivals, but Rockstar Games has added several new gameplay elements (and updated previous beloved features) that will hopefully keep the game fresh for some time to come.
With that in mind, we take a look at five killer features in Grand Theft Auto V. These aren't the only new features in the game, mind you, just a handful of the most appealing.
