What is A GTA?

Question

can you explain what is a GTA and what it's used for

Answer 1

GTA = Grand Theft Auto ~ In the video game world, the GTA series was first released in 1997 for the PC and subsequently released on the popular consoles of the day. It was developed by DMA Design Limited and Published by ASC Games. The first installment used an overhead view of a for-hire punk who basically went around a city commiting all kinds of crime, including grand theft auto, to work his way up the ranks of the criminal underworld. This game was noteworthy for its gratuitous use of violence and helped to justify US senator Lieberman's 'stop video game violence' campaign.

As mentioned GTA is a family of video games that were released on a variety of platforms. The primary developer, Rockstar Games, is largely responsible for the huge success of the franchise. After GTA II, Rockstar Games developed GTA3, Vice City, San Andreas, etc, using a third person perspective letting the player feel around the urban landscapes more realistically compared to the overhead view used in the first two installments. The series had achieved a cult following a while ago and is now considered a part of mainstream pop culture.

In the real world, grand theft auto is regarded as a serious crime whereas a person either commits or attempts to commit the crime of stealing another person's motor vehicle usually for kicks or to use for another crime, i.e., a bank robbery. The penalty for GTA varies among different states and countries, but the result is usually jail time.

Answer 7

Grand Theft Auto is an action-adventure video game series created by David Jones and Mike Dailly[3] the later titles of which were created by brothers Dan and Sam Houser, Leslie Benzies and Aaron Garbut. It is primarily developed by Rockstar North (formerly DMA Design), and published by Rockstar Games. The name of the series is derived from a term referring to motor vehicle theft.

Most games in the series are set in fictional locales modelled on American cities, usually either Liberty City, Vice City, or San Andreas, which are stand-ins for New York City, Miami, and Southern California, respectively. The first 2D titles encompassed three fictional cities, while 3D and HD titles tend to emphasise a single city and its outlying areas. Gameplay focuses on an open world where the player can choose missions to progress an overall story, as well as engaging in side activities, all consisting of action-adventure, driving, third-person shooting, occasional role-playing, stealth, and racing elements. The series also has elements of the earlier beat 'em up games from the 16-bit era. The series has gained controversy for its adult nature and violent themes. The series focuses around many different protagonists who attempt to rise through the ranks of the criminal underworld, although their motives for doing so vary in each game. The antagonists are commonly characters who have betrayed the protagonist or his organisation, or characters who have the most impact impeding the protagonist's progress.

Video game developer DMA Design began the series in 1997; as of 2014 it has eleven stand-alone games and four expansion packs. The third chronological title, Grand Theft Auto III, was widely acclaimed, as it brought the series to a 3D setting and more immersive experience, and is considered a landmark title that has subsequently influenced many other open world action games and led to the label "Grand Theft Auto clone" on similar games. Subsequent titles would follow and build upon the concept established in Grand Theft Auto III. Film and music veterans have voiced characters, including Ray Liotta, Burt Reynolds, Dennis Hopper, Samuel L. Jackson, Debbie Harry, Phil Collins, Axl Rose, and Peter Fonda.[4] The series has been critically acclaimed and commercially successful, having sold more than 150 million units, as of September 2013.
