Rockstar Releases GTA V Spoiler

Rockstar's Dan Houser released a major spoiler regarding their upcoming spring 2013 release of GTA V. Out of the three main stories that you play through, one of them is the antagonist.

Houser made the statement during an interview with The New York Times when asked about the three character story line.

"Just at the conceptual level, the idea was three separate stories that you play in one game. he next bit was, let's not have the stories intersect once or twice but have them completely interwoven. It felt like it was going to be a real narrative strength: you get to play the protagonist and the antagonist in the same story."

Houser also said that Americans do not understand British culture from the 70's and 80's and that the GTA series has always been a British take on Americana.

"I don't think anyone in America really understands what growing up in Britain in the '70s and '80s was like. Eighty percent of the television was American. Every movie you saw was American. Even though there are all these great British pop stars, 95 percent of them sing in American accents, and they all sing in an American idiom. So there was a great love of America, and maybe some junior-partner resentments for it,

But it's a very different relationship compared to America's contemporary relationship with Britain, where a few small things are cherry-picked and told how wonderful they are.

My brother and I have a certain perspective as people from London who then moved to New York. But the guys in Scotland at our Rockstar North studio, they have a different perspective, as people who never lived here. And then Lazlow Jones, who writes a lot of the satire with me, is a good ol' boy from Oklahoma. The games have always been, in some ways, a British response to Americana, rather than America. But it's not just that."
