Fans recreate classic GTA mission as GTA Online jobs

By Will Fulton Published July 23, 2014

Rockstar has shared a collection of fan-made jobs for GTA Online inspired by classic missions from Grand Theft Auto III, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, GTA IV, and GTA: Chinatown Wars.

You can relive the explosive finale of GTA III with The Exchange. Claude’s final showdown with the Colombian Cartel has been restaged in exquisite detail as a Deathmatch along the Land Act Dam. Alternatively you can blow up the Les Cargo ship docked off the Port of South Los Santos terminal in a Deathmatch recreation of Bomb da Base.

Get a double dose of nostalgia for San Andreas and Ferris Beuller’s Day Off with the Valet Parking mission. Take cars from willing Richman Hotel patrons on a joyride around Morningwood before returning them to their owners without a scratch.

If you’re looking to relive more recent memories, look no further than Lost Angels, a Capture mission that recreates the conflict between The Lost and the Angels of Death from the GTA IV The Lost and the Damned DLC. Grab your sawed-off and a few Molotov cocktails and try to steal as many of the rival gang’s hogs as you can while protecting your own stable.

The full list of classic missions is up on Rockstar’s blog, along with a selection of missions based on other classic Rockstar games.

A movie filmed entirely in Grand Theft Auto Online is coming to theaters

You were probably bored during Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, but were you "film an entire documentary in Grand Theft Auto Online" bored? Grand Theft Hamlet is just that sort of project, and after winning the documentary feature jury award at SXSW this year, it's going to get a theatrical and streaming release.

As reported in The Hollywood Reporter, independent and art house streaming service Mubi has acquired the rights to distribute Grand Theft Hamlet, a documentary that follows two actors who want to stage a production of William Shakespeare's Hamlet in GTA Online's world. If the clip below is any indication, they run into some issues, as is expected for a game where provoking violence against others is part of the fun.

GTA 5 cheats: codes and phone numbers PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC

A slam-dunk of a game for the talented developers at Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto 5 has been out for several years now, but it’s still an extremely popular title. Grand Theft Auto 6 may be on the way next year, but GTA 5 is still a worthwhile game to dive into.

If you’ve ever played a GTA game, you’ll know the going can get a little tough from time to time. This is why it’s nice to live in a world with cheat codes.

Will GTA 6 be on PC?

Whenever a new Grand Theft Auto game drops, it instantly becomes the biggest game of the generation. We saw it with 4, 5 and we expect GTA 6 to once again shatter all sales records when it finally comes out. After a lot of rumors, leaks, and even hacks, GTA 6 is officially revealed, but not everything about the game is out in the open just yet. Aside from story and gameplay details, some big questions surrounding where and when we can hope to play GTA 6 when it does come out are swirling around. PC players especially are concerned since Rockstar has yet to release a GTA title on PC at the same time as consoles. Will that be the case once again?
Will GTA 6 be on PC?
Yes, but not at launch. For now, GTA 6 is only confirmed to be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. Where does that leave PC players? Well, if history tells us anything, we might be in for a little bit of a wait. GTA 5 took almost a year and a half to get a PC port, while Read Dead Redemption 2 took a year and one month. Who knows if Rockstar plans to speed up the process for GTA 6, but at worst you should plan on waiting about a year for a PC version.

According to a former Rockstar dev who spoke to IGN, the reason Rockstar delays the PC version is twofold. "The reason why a PC port comes later and not the first thing that comes out, is because they want to prioritise what sells. Most of the time, especially in the past, PlayStation was the big seller. PlayStation was the console to have. It sold more than any other console for the most part. Everybody’s playing PlayStation."
