From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Rockstar Editor has been released for Grand Theft Auto 5, letting players make their own short films in the game’s world.
The mode, which has just arrived on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, is available through a free update. It has already been available on the PC.
The free, accurately-constructed world of GTA has been used for the recreation of famous videos already. One player, for instance, accurately made the True Detective intro using only footage from the game.
Rockstar Editor allows players to use special camera modes, as well as effects like depth of field and filters. It also allows players to use a cast of characters that includes animals.
As well as allowing for new features, the update brings a whole set of new trophies — the achievements that can be unlocked for doing certain challenges in PlayStation games. They include rewards for making and exporting a video, making a video while playing as an animal actor, or for visiting specific locations.
