One thing that fascinates me is looking back at early game development of popular games before they changed everything. GTA 3 was a landmark game, It changed games forever, and was a cultural phenomenon in a way not even Rockstar themselves could have imagined. Coming off of GTA2 the series had a strong fanbase, enough to warrant a sequel, but the earlier games never reached the cultural status.
Little did the world know how much the gaming industry would evolve with the
release of the 3rd entry. People were interested in the sequel, and Driver 2
gave everyone a taste, but at the time the game did not garner the amount of
interest it had once the game released. And this is what makes it so
fascinating to look back, to see the history of GTA3 in the public eye, at a
time when it was just a small blip on many people's radars...
