HUD-GTASA

Illustrated example of a HUD as seen in GTA San Andreas.

A Heads-Up Display (HUD) is a set of indicators used in most games to show the player's current status in a game, such as the score, health and the life.

Description[]

A HUD can be used to convey many different types of information, such as time, score (in some missions), money, health, armor, weaponry, ammunition, warnings (e.g. "wrong way" in a race) maps with blips and subtitles of conversations.

The HUD in GTA games may display the following information:

Other elements appear on the HUD in other situations, such as a dialogue subtitles, help messages, and a "Busted" or "Wasted" sign if the player gets arrested or killed respectively.

Trivia[]

  • The mobile and Trilogy - The Definitive Edition versions of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City does not use the HUD from the original version of the game; instead the game uses and recolors the HUD of the mobile version of GTA III. The Fist, Pistol, MAC-10 (which uses the GTA III Micro-SMG icon), Flamethrower, Grenade, and Molotov Cocktail icons are reused from GTA III and GTA San Andreas (fist only in The Definitive Edition) and are recolored pink and purple. The mobile version of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, having the same weapons as GTA Vice City, also borrows GTA III's weapon icons, as well as the icons for the weapons introduced in GTA Vice City (i.e. Pistol and SMG).
