@dannyodwyer I'm so glad these idiots don't design games. Imagine how fucking boring this shit would be if every single story was "so you play a white dude with a smoking hot lover and they make homophobic jokes"
Cuz we've already been through that, we don't need more!

@ObbeVermeij That's very interesting. Was the mission that takes you to the restaurant in liberty city a nod to this?

20 years ago we released Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas.
The original plan was for the 3 cities to be on separate maps. The player would travel between the cities using trains and planes.
(Gta 1 and 2 also had three cities on separate maps)
Memory was very tight on the ps2 and with separate maps, the other cities’ skyline models wouldn’t have to be in memory.
It would also make it easier to have different police/ambulance/firetrucks for each city. Different pickups, weather types etc.
It would also be easier to contain the player until it was time for the next city.
It would also make it easier to organize the models on the DVD city-by-city which would help the streaming.
Just before the artists started working on the three maps, we had a final meeting at R* North in which we changed our minds and decided to go for a big map after all.
We still ended up doing city-specific pickups, police cars and weather.
Happy birthday San Andreas. You turned out all right.

1/ 🎉 Here's to 25 Years of GTA 2! 🎮 Many see it as a misstep, but as a member of the original creative team, I consider #GTA2 pivotal in shaping #GrandTheftAuto's future. Here's a short thread on why I think GTA 2 is the unsung hero of the franchise 🧵

@_janjerome Have you looked up their other work? That bling-bang-bang-born song is just as addictive.

@TychoBrahe Especially any posts with a follow up post, like you're having all this shit happening in your life and your first thought is "I need to tell reddit right now, with proper grammar, advanced formatting, and a clear communication about exactly how my life is fucked"?

@AvalancheSweden What are the chances of a 60fps patch for newer consoles? Better anti aliasing and resolution wouldn't hurt either :P

It's also Steam Deck Verified and Badassery Certified.

@CHSundberg i know you're many years removed from the project now but just wanted to drop by and say the Mad Max game still holds up super well and does things I've still not seen in other open world games. Up there with Sleeping Dogs as awesome games I'd wish had gotten a sequel
