Grand Theft Auto V
Grand Theft Auto V
Développé par Rockstar North et édité par Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto V constitue le septième opus principal de la série, succédant à Grand Theft Auto IV sorti en 2008. Le titre est commercialisé le 14 avril 2015 sur les plateformes PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 et Xbox Series X|S. Il s'inscrit dans les genres du jeu de tir, de la course et de l'arcade, propulsé par le moteur RAGE et nécessitant le lanceur Rockstar Games Launcher pour fonctionner.
L'intrigue se déroule dans l'État fictif de San Andreas, inspiré de la Californie du Sud, et plus particulièrement dans la ville de Los Santos, calquée sur Los Angeles. Le scénario, qui débute par un braquage raté à Ludendorff en 2004, suit les destins croisés de trois protagonistes : Michael De Santa, ancien braqueur sous protection de témoin ; Franklin Clinton, jeune homme en quête de reconnaissance ; et Trevor Philips, ancien associé instable de Michael. Leur collaboration forcée les entraîne dans une spirale de braquages complexes, sous la pression d'agences gouvernementales corrompues et de criminels puissants. Le jeu propose une expérience solo estimée à environ 32 heures pour l'histoire principale, pouvant s'étendre jusqu'à 89 heures pour une complétion intégrale.
Au-delà de la campagne solo, le produit inclut Grand Theft Auto Online, une composante multijoueur pouvant accueillir jusqu'à 30 participants et deux spectateurs, intégrant l'ensemble des mises à jour de gameplay et du contenu publié par Rockstar depuis son lancement, notamment les braquages et les modes Rivalité. Sur PC, le titre bénéficie d'optimisations techniques significatives : prise en charge de la 4K à 60 images par seconde, une vingtaine de paramètres graphiques ajustables, gestion de la densité de trafic, compatibilité multi-écrans et 3D, ainsi qu'un système de commandes clavier-souris et manettes entièrement personnalisable. Cette version introduit également une vue à la première personne pour l'ensemble de l'aventure, le Rockstar Editor — un outil complet d'enregistrement, de montage et de partage vidéo sur YouTube ou le Social Club — et de nouvelles stations de radio comme The Lab FM, animée par The Alchemist et Oh No, sans oublier la radio personnelle permettant d'importer sa propre musique.
L'accueil critique et public s'avère très favorable, le jeu affichant une note agrégée de 92,86, un score Metacritic de 96 et un OpenCritic de 92. La presse spécialisée a salué la qualité technique de cette mouture ; Eurogamer Italy souligne ainsi qu'il n'a « jamais été aussi beau à voir et fluide à jouer », tandis que Metro GameCentral qualifie la mise à jour d'« incroyablement ambitieuse », améliorant visuels et gameplay tout en offrant une nouvelle approche via la vue subjective. Du côté des joueurs, les avis mettent en avant la longévité et la qualité de l'écriture, l'un d'elevant sur Metacritic le considérant comme un « jeu presque parfait » qui reste une référence du monde ouvert depuis 2013, bien que certains regrettent des passages scénaristiques jugés « un peu bêtes ». Sur Steam, la réception est partagée concernant l'obligation d'installer BattlEye même pour le mode solo, tandis que d'autres louent le réalisme, l'histoire et les personnages, idéaux pour une expérience entre amis.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Grand Theft Auto 5 has never been so nice to see and smooth to play: this new version is a further proof of the fine work that Rockstar infuses in every game. »
« An incredibly ambitious upgrade that not only improves the visuals and gameplay but, through the new first person view, offers a new way to play the best GTA ever. »
« Anyone concerned that this was just another money-spinning “definitive edition” can rest easy. As ever, Rockstar don’t do things by halves, and Grand Theft Auto V on PS4 feels truly next-gen. It’s not just a remake, it’s a testament to the quality of the original that GTA V can effortlessly stand among the best titles so far available on the new consoles and, in many cases, surpass them. »
« GTA V represents the videogame at its finest. Tense and dramatic when it wants, joyful and surprising when the player wants it. Rockstar has managed to harmonize the different trends in the saga, managing to create an unforgettable experience that will be enjoyed for a long time to come. This new version comes with some interesting additions: FPS mode, new events and challenges and big GTA online seasons. »
« Rockstar did it again. Not only is this new version of Grand Theft Auto V much prettier than the original version, it is also offers a new and convincing first person mode. Truly unmissable. »
« A masterpiece among the best of them, GTA 5 is out on next gen consoles in an improved version, and it is hardly believable. Vastly improved graphics, a good use of the Dualshock 4's features and the FPS viewpoint make this version a contender for the hall of fame. »
« Grand Theft Auto V shows how to bring a PS3 title to the PS4 the right way. With a vastly improved open-world containing more traffic density, pedestrians and better graphics. GTA V is among the most beautiful games available on the PS4. Innovation is key with GTA V, with not only the three protagonists, but now also the addition of a very well done first-person mode. »
« More than just a gimmick, the first-person mode really does change how it’s experienced by adding a new layer of gameplay. It won’t be for everybody, but the sheer fact that the option is there is commendable. More still, multiple new vehicles, weapons and animals have been introduced. If none of that were enough, over a hundred new songs have been added to the already robust radio stations. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Really fun game the story is really good but at some points it gets a little dumb but that's what I would've expected from a game like this »
« Es un juego casi perfecto, hay que tener en cuenta que desde 2013 sigue siendo uno de los mejores juegos de mundo abierto y dio abertura al hype para gta 6 »
« I've played well over 2500 hours in this game on multiple platforms, and while much of that was in Online, there's no denying that the world of Grand Theft Auto V never gets boring. It's 2026. We're just a few months away from the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, the biggest most anticipated video game of all time. But take that away for a moment, look back to the time when Rockstar re-imagined the world of San Andreas and released this absolute banger in 2013. I wish I was there for the midnight launch because I would have loved it. I mean you're telling me that this baby released on the same consoles as Grand Theft Auto IV and looked THAT much better? (No hate to GTA IV, but c'mon! The graphical leap is ridiculous) I've beat the game over a dozen times, drove from Los Santos to Paleto Bay two quadrillion times and killed about half a million cops on the way and done all sorts of crazy **** there is to do. The point is - it's not enough. An open world so immersive I get lost in it within minutes. It's like my second home. I'm a living, breathing part of it, just like the three protagonists the story so intricately revolves around - two guys in their 40s with their own fair share of history and past lives they refuse to leave behind, and one street hustler in his 20s who looks up to these two crazy **** as his criminal mentors and contemplates whom he eventually wants to end up becoming, or go his own way. Among countless other aspects; incessant corruption wars between government agencies, buried secrets waiting to be discovered and banks loaded with cash, it's down to this trio on how they want to navigate it all. "I'm rich, I'm miserable. I'm pretty average for this town." »
« Boring and hugely overrated. The graphisc are really not great. The map is hyge but empty, and there is not interest in creating such a map with almost nothing inside. The story is ok but I don"t get the hype on this game »
« Grand Theft Auto V has a largely underappreciated story that truly rules, with engaging protagonists and gameplay. It manages to make the rockstar formula of constantly driving across the map quite enjoyable with vehicles that are fun to drive and a world that's full of things to do. The online mode may be full of hackers and cheaters, but it's still quite fun to play with friends. »
« Existe um momento na qual a história do jogo fica chata mais não Drop o jogo neste momento »
« Para mim esse é o melhor da história até o momento que estou fazendo essa avaliação, eu amo gtaV, melhoraram muito a fisica dos carros que irritavam nos outros gtas, esse jogo é maravilhoso, unico que comprei mais de uma vez E o gta online... maravilhoso Esse é o jogo que mais tenho horas jogadas pq é o melhor »
« The story of Gta 5 was good but not as good as Gta 4. i never really liked the story that much, 3 main characters really watered down the characters, BUT, the sound track, and the missions were fun and the gameplay was way better than Gta 4, i'm writing this review because it's about 6 months till Gta 6 drops on November 19th (unless it gets delayed again) i never got to write a review back when the game launched because i was 16 when Gta 5 first launched and i'm now 29. but i have played the game on 360, ps3, ps4, ps5 pro, and xbox series **** online made me some life long friends and memories i will keep forever, i can't wait for Gta 6's online. »
