Revenues from the game Grand Theft Auto V, will go on sale

Revenues from the game Grand Theft Auto V, went on sale three days ago, exceeded a billion dollars, according to ITAR-TASS quoted the publisher - a company Take-Two Interactive. This is - a record for the entire entertainment industry, including not only the games, but also movies. Previous leader - a shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - brought billionth of a profit on the fifteenth day of sales.

The first part appeared in the GTA in 1997. In recent years, this game created by programmers Scottish company Rockstar Games, has become one of the most popular in the world. It is noteworthy that the first two of the GTA (Grand Theft Auto - "Grand Theft Auto") were two-dimensional, the player watched the events from "above" and is unlikely to identify with the main character - a small figure of a pixel, run the monitor in search of new jobs.

On the creation of the fifth part of the game was spent five years and $ 266 million - is also a record. In truth, it must be said that these figures vary: some say that spent only 137 million, some - 240 - but in any case, we should not touch it, right? It is much more important than for example the fact that the voice acting in the characters attended these gangsters, an acquaintance found employees. They changed the text on your own - with the words: "This guy from the street so never say the words of sleaze." And even if it is a legend, you will agree, is a beautiful legend. On the first day after the release of the publishers get for GTA V 800 million. The three main characters of the new game are in a virtual Californian city of Los Santos. Players traditionally act as criminals: they must perform tasks, to kill by "order", rob banks, steal cars. It is noteworthy that the game is tailored on the patterns of big-budget series, record-breaking prime-time: the three main characters (all - men are very difficult fate, one - an obvious psychopath, at first glance at which it is clear: not the tenant), the wildest plot, the game works for some unfathomable level - can be as long as desired to say that "GTA for shkoloty" but should simply turn it on - and work, school, family affairs will simply disappear. It is a phenomenon, a miracle, unreality. The very fact that this is happening before our eyes, in our time - is incomprehensible. But it is a fact.
