Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) has come a long way from the GTA franchise and undoubtedly, GTA V offers one of the best free-roam worlds in the gaming industry. In terms of size, graphics, and player interaction, GTA V has succeeded in giving the player the ultimate freedom to do whatever he chooses to do inside the GTA V world.
At this point, it seems GTA V has not just inspired GTA V players and modders; fellow game creators have actually taken a liking to what GTA V is delivering to gamers around the world. In fact, one of the biggest titles to come to the gaming world, Fallout 4, is actually created with GTA V in mind , Segment Next reports.
In an interview with Gamespot , Todd Howard from Fallout 4? s studio Bethesda reveals how much GTA V has inspired the Fallout team in the process of creating Fallout 4.
“Well, in our games, we want to give you complete freedom. So, I think of the last few years, I think GTA V had succeeded the most at the same type of thing we try to do. I look at that game and think, ‘Wow, I just don’t know how they did this.’ That’s what we try to create, that sense of going anywhere and doing anything. GTA V does it so well. It puts you in its world and it makes you its director . It says yes to the player a lot, and that’s what we try to do. It’s just a phenomenal game.”
A lot of gamers, especially Fallout fans, are ecstatic to hear that Bethesda is looking at how GTA V created its open world narrative. Player autonomy and creative freedom is one very commendable thing GTA V is incorporating in the game and for Fallout 4’s Bethesda to actually take inspiration from this, we can only expect great things from Fallout 4. But of course, until Fallout 4 actually releases to the public, we can only wait and speculate. If Fallout 4 turns to be as “player autonomy-friendly” as GTA V, the possibilities are endless and it certainly is one title to look out for.
With hundreds of mods available for GTA V players , GTA V has undoubtedly mastered the art of creating a narrative open world. GTA V’ s efforts has been received very well by the gaming community, having sold over 50 million copies to date.
We just have to wait around for Fallout 4 coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC this November. Until then, we can lounge around GTA V’s Los Santos for now.
