In this video, me and eight friends set out on our very first GTA Online (Or GTA 5) Road Trip, which takes us around various areas of the brand new San Andreas!
We're back! Many of you may have watched our GTA IV road trips and may have been wondering if we would continue into GTA V, and the answer is yes! We have some of our original members of which you may recognise a few, with some new guys along for the ride!
The route takes us to some of the most iconic places of San Andreas, arriving at the airport to indicate the start of our journey, not just for the trip, but for GTA Online itself. The route takes us to various places throughout Los Santos and Blaine County which some of you may find completely new or you may recognise from the original San Andreas...
Normally we choose a particular car or car group for the road trip, however, to mark that this is the beginning of everybody's GTA Online journey, we're all using our personal vehicles. I believe this was an important aspect of this trip to show what types of cars we had when we first started the game. These vehicles range from my exclusive "Hotknife" vehicle, to the street racing "Elegy", to the high end sports vehicle the "Entity XF" to a "Sanchez" dirt bike! And much more!
Now, I say this is a "Road Trip", however it's more of a cruise. This was filmed only weeks after the release of GTA Online, and it's more of an introduction to the map and to GTA Online itself for us, and for you the viewer. This is why this video may differ from other road trips we've created in the past, the following reasons should explain:
- Longer video: As some of you may notice, this video is quite a fair bit longer than some of our previous road trips. This is due to the fact it's our first trip, and we wanted to make it one to remember! The map of GTA V is huge, and this video only shows a small part of what can be explored.
- Legal driving: Normally, we follow the law in our road trips as it makes it more interesting for us and for you the viewer to see a different side to GTA. As it's more of a cruise, we just set out to drive, not follow the law in terms of driving. Plus, if we were to have followed the law in this trip, the video would be three times as long!
- Cruise or Road Trip? : I've titled this video 'Cruise' instead of 'Road Trip' to try and differentiate between why this video is slightly different from my other road trips. Obviously the two terms mean pretty much the same thing, but it should allow you to see the difference between my road trip videos, and this cruise!
As many of you may know, Lum Studios have created over 25 road trips on GTA IV, all of which have spanned over 3 years of filming alongside various other GTA IV videos including movie remakes, gameplay videos, etc... Even my first GTA IV TBOGT video on this channel was a road trip! So to me as head of Lum Studios, Road Trips have always been a major thing for me, and for us participants who find them so fun to do!
Unfortunately, we don't have enough time as we used to for creating these videos as they do take a hell of a lot of time to create! And as some of you may have noticed in the last few video descriptions I've written, my aim above all is to produce top quality videos for you viewers as I'm a strong believer of quality over quantity. I'd rather bring you guys high quality videos every month than ordinary and common gameplay videos every few days.
The music included in the video ranges from the music included in GTA V, as well as some music from the original San Andreas, with a few songs I think suit the cruise really well. These include The Small Faces with "Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake", War with "Low Rider", Stevie Wonder with "Skeletons", Lynyrd Skynyrd with "Sweet Home Alabama", Rod Stewart with "Young Turks", Imagine Dragons with "Radioactive" and finally GRITS with "Ooh Ahh (My life be like)". All music belongs to their rightful owners.
Finally, as stated, this is our first trip and there are some new guys who've taken part, so there may be a few mistakes, but that adds to the enjoyment of the road trip! The video took quite a while to get filmed, edited, rendered and uploaded, so please enjoy it for what it is!
So I hope you enjoy the video! Feel free to like, comment and subscribe! This was filmed with an HD PVR so 720p HD is recommended for best quality!
