To its many millions of fans, it sure is. Not to me though, Saints Row the 3rd is exactly how I want an open world sandbox game to be. Although SR3 kinda spoiled me, I'll give the new GTA a shot.

Yes, now STFU.

Gta hasn't had a bad game as of yet so I don't know why the author is asking this.

Still relevant, but I'm still disappointed by GTA4.

I will get gta5, but the rockstar game im really looking forward too is red dead redemption 2.

I think they have gotten better with every release.
.
GTA V is my most highly anticipated game.

yes gta is still relevant! there AMAZING games.

I think they're kind of tired.

The missions get very tiresome and frankly, it's often times more fun to just play sandbox and do mayhem on your own. There's only so far you can go with the idea.

The new games only change location and a few vehicles. There's really nothing innovative or groundbreaking about it anymore.

When I first played Vice City I thought it was the greatest thing. Now I can't get excited about it.

What a stupid question. GTA5 is one of the most anticipated games of the moment. Lots of people, including myself, are looking forward to it, and this article asks one of the dumbest questions you can ask and expects us to take it seriously.

Duh, yes it's relevant. It's more relevant than your question.

What a ridiculous question this article asks.

If one were to rephrase it "would GTA V as a PS3 exclusive be a big deal?" The answer would be the same, but the article would have been dismissed as drivel.

Not for me. The psx ones were fun and then gta3 hit and BOOM, changed the game. After 100's of hours possibly thousands over the 3 ps2 games ive been burned out. Maybe beating up hookers and running people over just lost its appeal also idk. I did like chinatown wars that was a nice throwback. 4 was a good game but it bored me to death, too much of the same thing imo.

It will release and sell 20 million, prob get near perfect scores and people will enjoy it so no its releavant for everyone else lol.

Grand Theft Auto V is pretty much the only game I can think of that can challenge GTA IV to be the highest rated game of this gen. A Metascore of 98 will be pretty hard to beat, though.

Of course it is, every press conference during E3 the comments were filled with "Where's GTA5" "Has GTA5 been shown?" "GTA5!". I've moved onto other sandbox franchises like Just Cause and Saints Row but there are still a ton of people excited for GTA5.

Well GTA V is one of the only few games I am anticipated for this year, so yes it is.

Is paying a hooker for sex and then killing her to get your money back fun?

YES

GTA will always be relevant the same as FF series will be these are the stand outs of there genres, imo tho gta4 was a bit too serious after finishing last gen with gta san andreas they really need to bring the fun and world exploration back.

after seeing watch dogs GTA kinda looks not so good anymore.

It's the most relevant franchise in video game history and will continue to be for many years to come. The launch figures and statistics for GTAIV speak for themselves. When GTAV launches expect the internet to crash.

Never really liked a GTA game after san andreas. One of my favorite games of all time.

Hated that the series went from gangsta "this is my block, that's yours" to like underground mafia type stuff.

In this very days it is still relevant they continue to bring great games for example red dead redemption

?

GTA IV is a great game and it gets so much unnecessary hate. It takes things more seriously than it's predecessors, but gives us such an amazing city in the process, and a games engine that is now used throughout the industry.

GTA V will blow people away.

Is this a joke?

Of course GTA is still relevant, it's going to be for a long time just like any other successful video game series. I love GTA, completely and can't wait to see the next one.

GTA haven't been relevant to me since GTA 2 / SA. I really don't find it appealing anymore.

GTA4 instead of being in a new cuty like other game went back to the smallest city in GTA3 and then on top of that GTA4 went for a serious approach. To me it hurt the franchise. I wont buy GTAV

GTA is more relevant today than it has ever been.

I desperately need to play another GTA. I play GTA games to relax, laugh and have a good time because they are parodying American culture!!! They'll have no shortage of material to put on their radio and in their missions given what we've been through in the past 4 years.

Watch Dogs WiiU is all i need thankyou,more complex open world ?

For me gtaIV was one of the biggest disappointments this generation, however that doesn't mean It's still one of the best franchises of all time. Whenever it is release you can guarantee that it will be one of, if not, the biggest game of the year. So yes it's still relavent.

Yes

I just wish the next GT would look like all those sick mods on PC. Everything looks real.

Are these articles still relevant?

I still love GTA4 but for GTA to still be relevant they really got to improve the gameplay when it comes to GTA5

It's Grand Theft Auto so yes it's still relevant, maybe it hasn't been a focus point for a while because nothing new has came out in so long but I assure you once this game drops it will sell like crazy.

people just need to steal cars and kill prostitutes

Don't EVER ask that obvious question again.

After you see how much money it will make in just the first week you will see just how relevant it is..

If GTA V doesnt better GTASA then GTA to me will no longer be relevant.

Stupid question... Of course it is!

I think the question should be, why are rockstar games so overrated.

Thanks for the article.It was a good laugh.

You're Darn Tootin', cousin

Wait until it breaks sales records, then ask your idiot self if it's still relevant.

nope the last real game was on ps2.

Is this question still relevant

lol dumb question yes it is...Saints row fanboys are goin to disagree

Sincerely i don't expect the game with thrill. When it's out i will give it a try.

As long as people are still doing real Grand Theft Auto then Grand Theft Auto will be relevant.

Does a bear crap in the woods?

It's as relevant as this question is irrelevant.

Grand Theft Auto IV has managed to move 20 million copies, yes it's still relevant.
