Rockstar "excited" by story prospects

Grand Theft Auto series writer Dan Houser is looking foward to the prospect of narrative in games.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Houser spoke of the medium's infancy when it came to story telling.

"I think the medium is still very young. It's not a baby, but it's still probably an infant. So everything is growing and evolving as we go along and we're still figuring out how to do stuff.

"It's really fun at the moment because we're not in any Academy and the medium's not codified. There's no accepted way of doing anything so that gives us enormous pleasure because we can make it up as we go along.

"Movies and TV and books have become so structured in the way they have to approach things. Not working in that environment gives us enormous freedom," added Houser.

Dan Houser, alongside fellow vice president and brother Sam Houser, has produced and written every instalment in the Grand Theft Auto series.
