The game's development began around the time of Grand Theft Auto IV 's release and was shared between many of Rockstar's studios worldwide. Grand Theft Auto Online, the game's online multiplayer mode, lets up to 30 players engage in a variety of different cooperative and competitive game modes. A "wanted" system governs the aggression of law enforcement response to players who commit crimes. The story is centred on the heist sequences, and many missions involve shooting and driving gameplay. Players control the three lead protagonists throughout single-player and switch among them, both during and outside missions. The game is played from either a third-person or first-person perspective, and its world is navigated on foot and by vehicle. The open world design lets players freely roam San Andreas' open countryside and the fictional city of Los Santos, based on Los Angeles.
Set within the fictional state of San Andreas, based on Southern California, the single-player story follows three protagonists-retired bank robber Michael De Santa, street gangster Franklin Clinton, and drug dealer and gunrunner Trevor Philips-and their attempts to commit heists while under pressure from a corrupt government agency and powerful criminals. It is the seventh main entry in the Grand Theft Auto series, following 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV, and the fifteenth instalment overall. GTA London 1961 is also the GTA Game to be set as the earliest.Grand Theft Auto V is a 2013 action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games.
It is also the only game to be set in a real location the rest of the games in the series are set in fictitious cities based on real-life US cities, such as Miami and New York. GTA London 1961, along with GTA London 1969, are the only games in the GTA series to be set outside the United States.The game relies upon word of mouth and internet discussion forums to become known to fans of the series. London 1961 is the least known game in the series, simply because the game was not heavily promoted by Rockstar, is only available as a download, and does not feature prominently on the Rockstar Games website. However, it requires the user to have both Grand Theft Auto 1, and GTA London 1969 (which itself requires GTA1). While London 1969, is available for multiple systems, London 1961 is only available for PC, as downloadable freeware (a 7MB executable file).
The mission pack as implied includes new missions, 22 new vehicles, one new cutscene, and a new multiplayer deathmatch map based upon the UK city of Manchester. The game takes place in London eight years before the events of London 1969. Just as the first mission pack did, London 1961 uses the same game engine as the original Grand Theft Auto 1 did. Grand Theft Auto Mission Pack #2: London, 1961 is a freely distributed mission pack, also known as an expansion pack, to the original Grand Theft Auto 1 and London, 1969 - requiring both to play.
