While opinions on the storyline narrative have been somewhat divided, nobody can deny that Rockstar has created one of the best open worlds to date, rivaling the likes of Skyrim in recent memory. Click on the pictures below for larger versions.

GTA V Timelapse Screenshots
While editing the GTA V timelapse I took some screenshots of this beautiful game we all know and love. It continues to astonish me just how much detail is present in the latest iteration of the franchise and it really is no wonder that development time for the title was five years. Even with the six month delay from the initial release date, I am more than pleased with the result and I for one am glad they took the time to really polish this game up to show off everything it has to offer.

Thoughts About GTA V
It's been a great week with the release of GTA V in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. By Thursday night I had completed the main storyline and I was ready to be unleashed on the unsuspecting general public of Los Santos.
By far the character of Trevor has been the revelation of the game. As I'm sure many other players would agree with, Rockstar's approach to this lovable redneck has been a breath of fresh air with the company not being bogged down by having to be politically correct all the time. Examples of stereotypical accents and overenthusiastic bouts of violence during cutscenes show what makes this series a staple every generation. You can never make everybody happy but here I think Rockstar gave a little extra to their hardcore fans which in my opinion is always a great thing to see and should happen far more often.
One of the biggest things I took out of the game, something that has been vastly understated, is the sheer potential for GTA V, even on a console, as a machinima engine. With all of the cinematic angles, detailed assets and subtle nuances of the in-game world, it becomes the perfect backdrop to really come to life through the creativity of others. I'm really looking forward to what comes out in the coming weeks and months.
I've been recording up a storm the last few days, so much so that I have over 30 hours of content to cut down and turn into something worth watching. So far I have released a short supercut of the relationship between Lamar & Franklin, but there is so much more planned in the immediate future. With such a huge in-game world there are many areas to explore and expose to the world.
So many walkthroughs and guides have popped up on YouTube for GTA V that the market has become saturated. I too had initially planned on doing something similar before coming to the realisation that without an already established fanbase there was little chance of the videos being seen. So instead I plan on editing together some more interesting clips showing some of the more unique activities one can do or at least showing things from a different perspective.
Keep an eye out for more content coming shortly. Having recently started my own YouTube channel and this blog my hope is that the readers out there will see my videos and articles develop and can one day be used as a reminder of where I came from. Ultimately I just want to get my name/brand out there so that when the time comes and I finally release a fully fledged video game, no matter what platform it's on, as many people as possible will get to enjoy it because isn't that what we're all here to do?

GTA V Midnight Launch
Excited for the GTA V midnight launch tonight. One benefit of being in Australia is getting the game more than 12 hours ahead of the US, even if it does cost $50 more, which gives me a good head start on recording some footage and getting it online earlier than the rest of the world. Look out for some videos coming out soon.
