A chat with Team4Shooter, one of the most popular and innovative GTA 5 streamers in the community

Q. Your channel, Team4Shooter, has been an excellent place for fans of GTA as well as superheroes, making for a rather great crossover. Who was the first superhero you found yourself fascinated with?

Team4Shooter: My dad. He was the person who was always there for me and taught me so much about life. I would not be who I am today without his constant love and support.

Q. There have been plenty of Marvel characters in your videos, from Thor to Carnage. Do you also enjoy DC superheroes, or are you Team Marvel through and through?

Team4Shooter: I sure like DC and a bunch of their characters, but the Marvel fandom is super vocal and active here, which adds to the overall perception of Marvel being more popular.

That general popular perception aside, I genuinely respond better to Marvel’s characters than DC’s.

Q. You’ve been known to include a wide range of mods in your videos. Do you remember the first mod you tried out for GTA 5? And which one, in particular, have you used the most?

Team4Shooter: The first mod I remember using was who I consider being one of the best anime characters in the history of television, Doraemon. Speaking of the most frequently used mods in my videos, I have to say I tend to use many Marvel characters’ mods in my GTA 5 series of videos.

Q. GTA 6 has been one of the most widely discussed topics on the internet for a while now. As a fan of the series, what are some features and functionalities you would love to see in GTA 6?

Team4Shooter: Like every GTA fan, I expect Rockstar to deliver stunning graphics. Given the advancements in console technology, I expect a higher FPS and more mission variety and realism.

And similar to GTA 5, I’m expecting the modding community to come up with some creative and unique concepts as well.

Q. Your videos have intricate storylines and narratives that you can craft using a variety of mods and characters. How challenging is it to create complex and engaging narratives for each video?

Team4Shooter: It is undoubtedly very challenging and requires a ton of effort on my part to craft storylines for each video. At the same time, I also love the process of being able to tell stories through gameplay in my videos.

Q. One of the most entertaining aspects of Team4Shooter videos is how you do voices for different characters in your story. Which character’s voice in your GTA series did you find was the hardest to pull off?

Team4Shooter: There are several characters whose voices I find pretty challenging to do, but the top spot indeed goes to all the Pokemons. For one, there are a whole lot of them in my videos, and voicing each one of them can be incredibly taxing but also rewarding at the same time.

Q. As someone who has probably tried out hundreds of mods, which are some of the best ones you found that you are yet to use in any of your videos? And which are your favorite mods that you’ve used so far?

Team4Shooter: I’ve used quite many mods, but my favorite has to be Shin Chan. I absolutely love the character and consider him one of the best ever. It is also just entertaining to be able to voice him and narrate a story as him in my videos.

---

Q. Over the past five months, you have had an incredibly industrious output with a steady stream of content each week. Has maintaining a schedule been difficult since your style of content requires you to do so much, such as voice work, editing, and switching between mods?

Team4Shooter: Yes, it can be quite difficult and incredibly taxing, but some of the best things in life are as such. That’s just the way it goes and is something I am comfortable with at this point.

Q. Out of the three protagonists in GTA 5, Franklin has appeared the most in your videos. What is it about him that makes him perhaps your favorite protagonist of the three?

Team4Shooter: Franklin has appeared the most throughout my GTA videos, and I find that his pairing with Shin Chan is something audiences really respond to and something I happen to love as well. His overall personality and likeability make me a fan, which is why I use him the most in my videos.

Q. Apart from superheroes, you have also dabbled in Kaiju vs Mecha/Transformers mods in your GTA series. Thus, the question needs to be asked: whose side were you on in Godzilla vs Kong, and who do you think should have won?

Team4Shooter: It’s tough for me to pick between the two absolute titans, so I’m just going to stick to the fact that I like the pair of them and would rather not choose.

Q. Apart from GTA 5, what other games do you enjoy regularly? And do you plan to include more titles on your channel in the future?

Team4Shooter: I play a lot of games apart from GTA, with PUBG Mobile, of course, being one of my absolute favorites. I have an alternate channel dedicated to it, with about 10,000 subscribers, and that is where I choose to steam the game live.
