I'd like to POINT OUT some very important parts. 1) what game tester said @3:31 about programmers having ideas that they THINK are fun, but actually are not. I have been saying this since 90s aswell, but nowday people think that devs know the game better than players .. that's not true at all. Entire GTA series actually has a problem i NEVER liked. i'd like to interview one of the lead programmers and ask about: Why most cars have same stats? is it really so difficult to edit each vehicle individually? ever since GTA 1 on PC, i have been making "realism" mods, where i edit each car's specs to reflect real life. What i'm talking about, is that in GTA series there are few different types of vehicles. slow vehicles, like some old bangers, then there's average cars, like taxies, family cars, SUVs ..etc, then there are sports cars and super sports cars, that are very rare and finally you have heavy vehicles, such as trucks and buses. each category has exact same stats, what sense does that make? I always made mods so all cars are unique. For example old muscle cars are much heavier, so i changed their weight and collision durability to reflect the real life cars. in real life if old muscle car crashes into modern day sports car, then most likely muscle car can drive away on its own, while modern sports car will be totalled. i made that realistic. i also changed bullet resistance, so that armored van is actually ARMORED. top speed is also almost same for all cars, which i changed. I never understood WHY devs do this, it really doesn't take that long. it's maybe like 1-2 days of work tops to fine tune vehicle stats, but they just copy-pasted. 2) nowdays game testers have been replaced with "early access", which means game devs no longer have to hire game testers, instead they sell early access games and GET PAID for something they should be paying for. in my opinion that is a big problem nowdays, that's why so many games are bugged and broken, cuz they don't have game testers anymore. they use paying customers to test their products. I think this needs to change back to what it used to be. Some companies still have testers, but most do not. They quickly test games themselves or ask friends to play, but they don't actually hire game testers. i remember in some older games, they even listed game testers in credits and it usually had 5 - 10 names for small games. nowday games make much more money and should have minimum of 100 testers.
I went to Primary school around this time and we used to download free games of the web and for the life of me, it was really awkward and computers have come such a long way.
I've played every single GTA games since the start, but have never actually completed more than one mission, if even that. It's all about the havoc and running from the police 😆
Can't wait to play GTA V on the next gen (PS6), with an astonishing 12k resolution at stable 240fps! And imagine how beautiful GTA V will look on a PS7!
OMG, wish they'd knew how successful this franchise would become. But i guess they are already happy and excited. Awesome people. They made my childhood. Loved playing GTA 1, GTA Vice city, San Andreas, IV, V.......... probably 6 in another 2 decades???? finger crossed :P
I used to have a *wink wink nod nod* arrangement back in 98' with the lad who worked in my local video rental place . He would stick GTA 1 in Tomb Raider 2 box so I could get it. I was 9 or 10😂 Hope you're doing well Richie!

Proper brilliant! I had no idea that they did mo-cap in the first one! I rented the first GTA several times since I was a broke-ass kid. Now I buy Megalodon cards when I see somthing new.
They didn’t. The reporter said ‘for a different game’. I guarantee you that he asked for someone to pretend to be using the mocap studio just for that shot.
My man strolls in, simplifies everything down to playing games and bangs and crashes, basically asks the woman what she’s doing there, and calls them all nerds.
I still remember having a demo disc from one of the PlayStation magazines around the time of this games release. It allowed you to have 5 minutes of free play before timing out and my older brother and I played it constantly. Trying to outdo each other by causing as much mayhem as possible before the time ran out. Great days. When we got the actual game it was a lot harder to alternate turns!
I remember doing this too. If I remember right sometimes there would be a glitch and you could play it longer than the 5 mins. Lucky for me I got the full game when it went platinum one Xmas 😂
I quite vidily remember the PlayStation demo. The main menu theme wasn't the music in the final game - it sounded like a recorded speech of some kind just ranting away in the background. The demo also covered a very early mission in the game and you were told to get back quickly because they had "fresh coffee". That was obviously sanitised for the demo because the final game said "fresh pussy".
I'd have leaked everything if I worked there. Just tell a friend. Have the friend tell their family and their friends. Have them tell social media. Easy. Never get back to me.
@@WhirlingMusic Why? Like, what would you possibly gain by leaking something other than feeding your own ego of getting away with it? It's not like anyone else gains anything from leaks either. Players won't get to play it sooner anyway, and regardless of what the leak is about, the end product is sure to be different from whatever was leaked, so it will literally always lead to disappointment.
Oh damn, an actual shot of the guy who made the music. One of the greatest things about GTA was (and still is) was the great sound track. As a kid, i searched and searched for more info about the 'bands' that were featured on the radio stations but never found them. Only much later in life i found out they were custom produced songs, and only today i see the face behind the music.
At least one GTA track I know of was worked on at Seagate Studios in Dundee, because I was in the studio while Robert Del Negro recorded the vocals for it. It was Carjackin' In Hilltown from GTA2. At the time I was a regular in the studio, and remember having a good laugh at the lyrics because they were all names on housing schemes in Dundee! Little did we know what the track was being created for. I also did a gig at the Gardyne Theatre as part of a band who backed Drew Larg, aka Sideways Hank O'Mally, when he performed a song called "Julius" written by Michael Marra.

I love all the 2D versions; 1, the Londons and GTA 2... Of course I also like the 3D's they're mighty impressive, but the 2D's take the gold in my preference... Perhaps just because I'm from another era in gaming... Also played a whole lot of Lemmings back when I had an Amiga, just seems like these guys had a way to make fun games out of morbid ideas 😆 like, you couldn't make the stoppers move again, had to blow them up.
wish it was still that simple, you can come out of uni with a full degree in games design specifically, and still not even be able to get a job as a QA Analyst

Rockstar Studio, 2013 Boss: ok lads, we did a great job with GTA V ! now we need to start with the next game employ : when is the deadline ? Boss : like 12 years from now, maybe 13 depends on PS6
Wow, this is awesome nostalgia. I remember as a 13 year old, convincing my Dad to buy GTA for me (it was an 18) from Electronics Boutique. I installed it on his PC and there started years of playing the game, along the way learning how to fix his Win95 PC whenever I crashed it (for various reasons, including running this or F22 ADF in too high a res). Thus started the seedlings of my eventual career in IT. Thanks DMA!
Yeah, that was kind of exactly how my childhood went. Being able to play games was a great motivator for fixing computer problems and installing programs that required this or that. Now I'm the go to IT guy at my company which I'm of course compensated for. Instead of GTA it was StarCraft for me, though.
Yeah they’re on a hiding to nothing with this concept. Why anyone would want to play a game where you steal cars and shoot people in the face is beyond me. It’ll never work out.
@@krashd what was extra cool is when forza horizon 4 came out, it has a map of edinburgh, and you can drive to the location of the old rockstar headquarters near the omni centre. The building looks totally different in game though, but still 😅 And the forza devs collaborated with CDPR for some cross promotion and included a cyberpunk car in their game.. So you can drive to the offices where GTA was made, in a Cyberpunk car, in a Forza game 🤯
Not just originated, every GTA game up to GTA V has basically been made in scotland I believe. GTA VI I think will be made at different offices around the world (inclusing Scotland), but the HQ is still in scotland. The game often has references to Edinburgh as that's where they have been made for a long time now.
From "It's all about a car chase." to GTA 6 trailer becoming the most viewed video on the youtube. This series has really come a longway....so many memories and now here we are..
I brought it in 97 I was 15. I loved it... I knew it had potential once technology evolved. Playing GTA 3 for the first time.... was legit mind blowing.
And a special thanks goes to the Northumbria Chief of Police for his tireless efforts to have this game banned. Which only served to hype this game to sht and start a game franchise that had original, honourable, wonderful intentions into a corporate grift enabling the death of online gaming !!!
"I went to college, I saw a job advertised in the paper and I applied"
They really don't know how lucky they had it back then.

It was simpler times. I had a cousin that played Wolfenstein in his computer lab. Nowadays you'd probably get expelled and sent to a counselor for "violent behavior and threatening to shoot up a school" or something.
You were top G
You made good menories for your mates..

2:05 blew my mind with that guy Craig literally composing my childhood memories in a back corner somewhere!! Little did they know what was to come, amazing
I'm pretty sure Craig sang joyride as well
Craig who?
@@moy_moy85 the guy who made the music for gta.....the reporter says his name in the clip 🤦♂️

GTA1 was genius
The soundtrack is unbelievably good
yes, the farting too! kids...🤣
2:13 is a great sound track
@IceCat7 Over and over again
Best soundtrack to date imo
I love all the 2D versions; 1, the Londons and GTA 2... Of course I also like the 3D's they're mighty impressive, but the 2D's take the gold in my preference... Perhaps just because I'm from another era in gaming...
Also played a whole lot of Lemmings back when I had an Amiga, just seems like these guys had a way to make fun games out of morbid ideas 😆 like, you couldn't make the stoppers move again, had to blow them up.

Love the fact he asked Fiona ‘how did you get this job?’ To which her response is ‘I went to college’
wish it was still that simple, you can come out of uni with a full degree in games design specifically, and still not even be able to get a job as a QA Analyst
Haha I studied game design in college early 00’s, but after 3 years of study, I realised it was a waste of time because the industry then only wanted University graduates. I just couldn’t be bothered with a further 3 years of study so abandoned it.
"...and how do you find it, being the only female?" Roll on 2022... And IT is still a sausage party 😂
@@ivandrago1672 I'm in the same position as you were in back then. Got a conditional for uni but idk if i can endure more education.
@@spaghettihoop5 I mean at some point women have to make a real, conscious decision to move into the field properly and stay in it. One or two promising female graduates isn't going to drive the change needed in an industry that has been, by and large, completely dominated by men.
Grand theft auto? I wonder whatever happened to that game? :D
Hello you!
Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Bad larry, DOWN! stop getting into my algorithm suggestions LOL
probably failed like lemmings ..
Playing this on the PC back in the day was fantastic. Fun memories.
Wow this is a great piece of archive footage 👏
I'm amazed this hasn't got millions of views considering the subject matter 🤔

Wow, this is awesome nostalgia. I remember as a 13 year old, convincing my Dad to buy GTA for me (it was an 18) from Electronics Boutique. I installed it on his PC and there started years of playing the game, along the way learning how to fix his Win95 PC whenever I crashed it (for various reasons, including running this or F22 ADF in too high a res). Thus started the seedlings of my eventual career in IT. Thanks DMA!
Oh i thought GTA was 7+. Captain obvious. No need to state the game is 18+
@@KoRnBulleT come on now korndog, if I hadn't have stated the obvious, we wouldn't be having this wonderfully sarcastic exchange, would we?
Electronics boutique! Blast from the past
Yeah, that was kind of exactly how my childhood went. Being able to play games was a great motivator for fixing computer problems and installing programs that required this or that. Now I'm the go to IT guy at my company which I'm of course compensated for. Instead of GTA it was StarCraft for me, though.
I found my game boy colour the other day inside an electronics boutique soft case, man the nostalgia when I found that thing
Rory is still the BBC’s technology correspondent, almost 30 years later. Amazing really

Amazingly MEDIOCRE!

Thank you to everyone at DMA designs for making my 20s so awesome! 👍🙂
I still love Walker, I played that game for hours on my Amiga.
My stepfather was the computer teacher at grove academy, in dundee, and he taught a few of the boys who went on to found DMA ;)
Such humble beginnings.
Can't imagine anything like this will ever catch on. Pong and Tetris clones are the future for sure.
Yeah they’re on a hiding to nothing with this concept. Why anyone would want to play a game where you steal cars and shoot people in the face is beyond me. It’ll never work out.
@Johnny Caruthers no it didn't. You're lying

What a nice piece of history.
Grand Theft Auto? Sounds like a flop to me..
Yah It will never take off I'm not buying it.
gamer history, love it. to think the GTA franchise originated from Scotland, would never have guessed that.
All the best things are invented in Scotland.
No need to guess my friend, we also invented the television and the phone. 🥃 enjoy!
It is still in Scotland. The studio moved from Dundee to Edinburgh while GTA3 was being made but the games are still made here.
@@krashd what was extra cool is when forza horizon 4 came out, it has a map of edinburgh, and you can drive to the location of the old rockstar headquarters near the omni centre. The building looks totally different in game though, but still 😅
And the forza devs collaborated with CDPR for some cross promotion and included a cyberpunk car in their game..
So you can drive to the offices where GTA was made, in a Cyberpunk car, in a Forza game 🤯
Not just originated, every GTA game up to GTA V has basically been made in scotland I believe.
GTA VI I think will be made at different offices around the world (inclusing Scotland), but the HQ is still in scotland.
The game often has references to Edinburgh as that's where they have been made for a long time now.
To think GTA 5 was released just 17 years after this was filmed.
And then a 17 year wait for GTA 6!
@@KrozMcD just thinking the same thing lol
@@KrozMcD So 8 more years until GTA 6
what did this company turn into ? or did they sell gta

I've never seen this before, an amazing look into the humble beginnings. Loved GTA 1 & 2 on the PlayStation
Brother?
In 1997, I used to go often to my best friend's home and play GTA 2, FF8, Spyro, Tekken 3. Those games have a very special spot in my heart ❤
From "It's all about a car chase." to GTA 6 trailer becoming the most viewed video on the youtube.
This series has really come a longway....so many memories and now here we are..
Imagine buying this game back in 1997 and to never know it was the beginning of one of the best and most recognizable videogame franchises in history.
Naaawwww you knew :P
I bought it in 1997. I was 10 :)
tbh i think its the most known one, ask any old hag and they will say: oh its the game where u kill people
I brought it in 97 I was 15. I loved it... I knew it had potential once technology evolved. Playing GTA 3 for the first time.... was legit mind blowing.
just reading this gives me goosebumps ngl

2022: Shark Cards and Mk2 Opressors.
Rockstar is not the Rockstar we grew up with.
And a special thanks goes to the Northumbria Chief of Police for his tireless efforts to have this game banned. Which only served to hype this game to sht and start a game franchise that had original, honourable, wonderful intentions into a corporate grift enabling the death of online gaming !!!
I actually stopped thieving cars for a while when this came out i was playing it all night and day
northumbria police is the gayest police force in the uk tbb
