The vice-president of Rockstar Games has confirmed that Grand Theft Auto V will last players around 100 hours.
Dan Houser made the comments during a chinwag with The Guardian, where he was quizzed as to whether the franchise could be transformed into a feature film.
In response, Houser questioned if condensing a game like GTA V would be possible, since it offers a big open-world experience thats 100 hours long.
"There's still plenty of kudos in doing a film, but you shouldn't ever do anything in your life for kudos," he said. "It's much easier to imagine GTA as a TV series, as the form is closer, but I still think we'd be losing too much to ever actually do it.
"We've got this big open-world experience that's 100 hours long, and that gives players control over what they do, what they see, and how they see it. A world where you can do everything from rob a bank to take a yoga lesson to watch TV, all in your own time. How do you condense that into a two-hour or 12-hour experience where you take away the main things: player agency and freedom?"
GTA V is believed to be one of the most expensive video games ever made, boasting an estimated budget of £170 million.
