how big a deal was this game when it was released? Can gta 6 change the industry like 3 did?
>>738972278It was special. It still is. Great atmosphere. Zero chance GTA6 will be special like that. We have all played it before.
no.
It was a huge game changer upon release since prior to it, there was simply no 3D open world that had the scope and detail GTA III had. Even earlier open world 3D games like Driver and Body Harvest were barren and didn't have the density of NPCs and traffic that GTA had. Another impressive achievement was how seamless it all was. There wasn't a single loading screen when traversing the whole map whereas other games like Shenmue (which also had a highly detailed world) still used segmented levels with loading screens.
>>738972970>There wasn't a single loading screen when traversing the whole mapBased retard.
>>738976665>nitpicking a half second loading screen when crossing a bridge between each major section of the cityOkay faggot
>>738972278What makes you think 6 is going to break the world when the game is just "what if gtav but updated".Also we've been technologically stagnant for past 15 years, I don't think it's going to change much outside of it looking slighy prettier.
>>738972278It'll change the industry alright. Expect AAA devs to start charging $100 for their games when it comes out
>>738972278Its influence is being echoed to this day. >Can gta 6 change the industry like 3 did?I genuinely don't know but I don't think it'll change it the way they hope it would. GTA 6 has all the budget going into it which will raise the standard for what passes as a triple A game and that would damage the reputation of other studios who don't have access to GTA Online's infinite money.
>>738980813Redditors and other morons will buy it en masse if not for the simple fact of being not being left out by not giving into the hype.
>>738972278GTA 6 will be shit. Even Aaron Garbuts art direction looks like shit nowadays. That is assuming he still heads that department for 6, I'm unsure.Why do people even care about this company anymore? V was perhaps the last officially Rockstar one and even there it wasn't particularly the greatest and they were already losing their touch. Now it's nobody of the original company but all the new hires they took on board whilst making RDR2. That games writing speaks for itself in terms of it being the lowest Rockstar games had fallen.
>>738980813kek nice reading comprehension bro
>>738972970>Body HarvestA strange one to mention instead of this one. I expected Driver.
>gta1 and 2 were indie jank>gta3 was boring but impressive>vice city and sa had SOUL>gta4 was gta3 all over again>gta5 was bloated gta6 will probably be very pretty and play it very safe
>>738972278It was a really big deal that spawned countless imitators. I can't see Rockstar shaking up the formula in any meaningful way for GTA6.
>>738981494gta 4 was peak, gta 3 and vice city are snorefests, sa and 5 were acceptable but 5's ending is awful and i personally just dont like its aesthetic
>>738972278It didn't matter. The only one people care about enough to remember is San Andreas.
Rockdrones are faggots. I bet it was down to merely timing as to why this didn't release first. Yet they treat 3 as if they were godfathers of driving around a car and doing missions in a 3D open world. Sure there was only a free roam in Mafia. But if we're talking innovation it's simply down to who got it out first in regards to achievements.
>>738972278GTA 3 is what made GTA...GTA. It was genre defining. Up until that point the GTA games themselves were these weird top down hooligan games where you were expected to drive around doing crimes but you could barely see more than maybe 100 feet in front of your car. With 3 the same formula suddenly worked a whole lot better because it was full 3D. 1 and 2 were like prototypes and 3 it finally came into its own. And that's why the formula hasn't changed since then. It just works. It works so well so many other developers tried copying it. It worked so well that other developers got the balls to try their own hands at open world games in other settings and time periods. Like I said, genre defining
>>738972278Open world genre is done. There is no way to achieve the same shock the HD era GTAs made.
>>738981810vintage GTA wasn't bad it just wasn't very ground breaking, aside from the mild novelty of getting to be a street criminal. they brought back the 2D gameplay for chinatown wars to make it work on the DS and it was awesome
>>738972278>Can gta 6 change the industry like 3 did?How? It's the same thing withworse gameplay and better graphics. GTA 3 was actually innovative and yes it was very big.
>>738972278>Can gta 6 change the industry like 3 did?I highly doubt it. That would mean making some sort of big impressive change or technology that sets a new trend. That would mean breaking out from the norm and play it risky.The AAA hates risk and break new grounds (with a few exceptions). I'm willing to bet that GTA6 is going to play it safe and essentially they'll do "GTA5 but better looking" and nothing else of substance.
>>738980587It was more than half a second when you played it back on a PS2 zoomer.
I loved rape role playing hookers on GTA, still do!!!
>>738983849based 50 year old uncgod
3 didn't do anything positive.
>>738984706GTA 3 I mean.
>>738983534>It was more than half a secondWow what a massive difference
>>738986267Ya, it was like 5-15 seconds depending on how shit your disc drive and disc were fucked up.
>>738986390Works on my machinehttps://youtu.be/vA1oKXxfGF8?t=5530&si=l1uJ6-GGWc9KS8mj
>>738981643SA storyline is horseshit retard. None of it makes sense. VC storyline is a scar face rip off but it’s fucking good.
>>738986629sa goes full retard after los santos but it has a cool idea. vice city bored me to death and wasnt interesting at all.
>>738986390Disks were fine if you weren’t a nigger
>>738986843>Disks were fine if you weren’t a niggerYes Rajeet.
>>738986731SA was made for adhd retards that couldn’t focus on a storyline that slow cooks to a climax, and doesn’t need random “Le whacky” humour.
>>738981749The og Mafia is a masterpiece but its not hard to figure out why GTA stole all the attention
