Los Angeles Becomes Los Santos In Live-Action Grand Theft Auto V
Corridor Digital, the technical wizards behind videos such as Dubstep Guns and The Glitch, have painstakingly replicated gameplay from Grand Theft Auto V – in real life.
Cash explodes out of the "NPCs" when they bite the dust. Even the protagonist’s punch is identical to the game’s animation when he decks some poor guy at the “Galileo” Observatory. The video is a true testament to Rockstar’s fastidious translation of Los Angeles into video game form. There's also a behind-the-scenes video that shows some of the nifty tricks Corridor Digital used to get that perfect third-person camera work.
Rockstar is making their Los Santos a bit more enticing this weekend as well. In Grand Theft Auto Online, double cash, double RP, and more will be offered in a three-day event that goes live this Friday.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
