GTA 5 recreated in live-action short film

For the most part, the events of GTA 5 are not really something you'd want recreated in real life. Especially the way you play it. Oh yes, I know what you did.

Luckily, this short film focuses on getting the look and feel of GTA's camera and systems just right. And, of course, the location. Because it's set in Los Angeles—a city that has more than a passing resemblance to Los Santos.

It's made by Corridor Digital; who previously created this excellent top-down action montage.

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
