| Summary: | This article offers some thoughts about the freeroam in GTA Online. The aim is to highlight the complexity of the playful and narrative dynamics at work in very particular game phases, i.e. the moments when the player is confronted with unforeseen events (which he will then try to organize and systematize) or when he is fully engaged in an improvised but organized activity, with no other goal than the search for fun. Clothing, weapons, vehicles, and set elements allow players to exploit, combine, and rewrite narrative patterns from film, television, or literary culture, following codes that may be similar to the improvisation practiced by jazz players or actors. These action patterns make GTA Online, as an open multiplayer world, a hybrid and eclectic living theater. |
