Development of San Andreas (2003-2004)

Vice City was a mad dash to get done in time. Everybody was worn down and it was clear another one year game was not an option. In addition; it was obvious that Vice City hadn't innovated that much and another 're-skin' wasn't going to fly. This is why San Andreas got 2 years of development time. O...

Development of Vice City (2002)

There was a 6 weeks gap between finishing gta3 and the release. This was needed for burning the cd and distribution. In those days you couldn't patch so there was no point hanging around. The company gave the team some time off and most people took some extra time also. After the release, we starte...

Development of Gta3 (1999-2001)

The first prototype of gta3 ran on a Dreamcast. We all had Dreamcasts and all played Phantasy Star Online. This didn't last long as the Dreamcast lost out to Playstation 2 and we switched. Rockstar New York had only just been founded. As the people in New York had to get set up and get to grips wit...

GTA: Bugs bugs bugs

During gta3 the game was buggy during most of its development. This happened because we started the game from scratch and also used a new rendering engine (RenderWare) that was also not all that mature at the time. Through most of development, it was rare to play through a mission without a crash h...

GTA: The trouble with cheats

(Warning: techy) The cheats in the trilogy were activated by simply typing a sequence of characters. On PC the sequence would be something like ILOVESCOTLAND to make it rain or GUNSGUNSGUNS to give the player loads of weapons. The game remembers the last 20 or so keypresses and every time a new...

GTA: Streaming

The hardest technical challenge to solve during the development of gta3 was the streaming. Streaming involves loading and un-loading models as the player moves over the map. The streaming was coded by Adam Fowler. When we started out with gta3 the hope was that the entire map would fit in memory. T...

GTA: Why so many cars of the same type?

Memory in the Playstation2 was limited. This is why we could only have a limited number of vehicles in memory at the same time. I think there was only room for about 7 of them. This meant the game could load a selection of 7 vehicles out of the total of around 80. It seems this would result in enou...

Is gta3 network game?

Since gta and gta2 had a LAN (network) game, we felt gta3 should have one too. I spent around a month implementing the network game. At this point there was a basic death match. Players could drag each other out of cars and players could kill each other. When a player died, the killer would get a p...
