TASK 3

Historical Text GTA 1
Grand Theft Auto is an open world action-adventure video game developed by DMA Design (now Rockstar North) and published by BMG Interactive. It was released in October 1997 for DOS and Microsoft Windows, and on 14 December 1997 for the PlayStation.

How is it similar/different to your main text?

The massive leap from GTA 1 to GTA 5 consists of many more improvements and changes, firstly the most obvious change is the graphical quality of the text itself, over the years hardware is rapidly being developed to obtain better graphics from current hardware architecture of the PS4/XB1.

In terms of content missions and free roaming has become more open and natural, character models have changed from the previous 2D flat world to a life like realistic 3D world. With this change it allows characters to have more identity within the game which offers a more immersive experience for the user. However GTA 5 still has the core concept which GTA 1 had and that is committing crime and being rewarded for these actions. GTA 1 is famous of being the first AAA gangster game 

How does this show how the genre/society/issue has changed?
