A little disappointing he failed to mention how integral Rockstar adopting the Euphoria physics engine was. Real time physics rendering was one of the bigger sales points for GTA IV sense most games at the time utilized baked dynamic animations in place of a proper physics engine. It was a technical achievement to have this running parallel to such a detailed open world, so much so that it ended up pushing other game makers to go bigger and subsequently launched us into the golden age of gaming.
I remember the buzz when GTA 3 was coming out and I swore I'd never buy it if they got rid of the birds eye view as I didn't think it would work. How wrong I was!
25:29... History has repeatedly shown us that the words "Rockstar", "without breaking a sweat" and "in just under a year", don't really go together. Doubtless, many a dev had to work themselves to the bone to make this happen.

@@moneyman64 Go back to primary school please. 2D/3D refer to the number of spatial dimensions in the game, first person and third person refer to the perspective from which a game is played, seeing through the eyes of the character or looking at your character from another angle.
@@moneyman64 You literally respond to a guy who comments that GTA being in third person mode was a good idea by saying it is hard to imagine GTA V being in 2D, implying that it is obvious GTA V is in 3D while that's not even what the guy is talking about. You must obviously be pretty stupid, because a 3D video game can also be in a first person perspective only. So it is very normal for him to comment that it was a good idea that GTA was primarily created to be a 3rd person game. He's talking about the later installments in the series.
@@moneyman64 That's the entire point...the guy means that as soon as Rockstar started making 3D GTA games, they made a great decision by not making it first person but third person. How hard is it to understand that? It's such basic information that I'm kinda amused and surprised you didn't understand this comment in the first place.
I mean honestly though, I remember a few glitches from gta 3 that were more like features than glitches. There was this one garage in the first island where you weren't supposed to be able to go through it, but on the original versions of the game you could go right through the wall. It doesn't work on my iPad version though lol
These games are literally shaped my life. It’s insane. The effect that these games have on is as kids is incredible. I thank GTA for the awesome stories and hours I have poured into it.

I wish you had touched more on how revolutionary the change of the physics engine was. Euphoria was a huge step-up from regular ragdolls in other games as they reacted to getting hit in real-time. Everything else was great.
LOL, I still remember when one of the classmates told me about the demo pc disk he had where you can just run around and steal cars, shoot people, and run from police. I did not beleive him. He then proved me wrong and lent the disc to me. It blew my mind. I still remember the 300 second countdown where as soon it hit zero, it would reset.
Ah.... The good days. When I was young and I'd sneak my copy of grand theft Auto 4 in my Xbox only for my mom to run over upon hearing the loading screen, and snap the CD in half. Good times when parents thought this game were going to turn us into psychopaths. Humorously enough, I'm 21 years old and my mom still despises the game, refusing to let us play it at her house, OR play it even around her in my apartment. If I play it she continuously complains or tries to avoid the television altogether. It's intriguing what media can do to a person's mind.
Yep. My mom was 1000% anti-marijuana until she saw on the "news" that it might have medical uses. Now she is open to me smoking weed. I dont trust TV news at all but her generation did and it is very influential, even dangerous...

It'd be amazing but rockstar is canceling and teasing it so much that I don't think it will ever be a thing, RDR and GTA are way (and I mean waaaay) more profitable now, much more than they ever were
What's even more insane is that GTA SA ran on a ps2..... i honestly thought with how big and expansive that game was it would blow my ps2 up, Gta 3 vice city and SA will always be my favorite trilogy of games ill never forget them.

Nostalgia VC has the greatest soundtrack in any game. 2nd place is SA. 3rd place is GTA 3. 4th place I think I'll go with NFS Most Wanted the reboot And for original soundtrack, 1st goes to Just cause 3. 2nd place to Treasure of Montezuma
@@SuperOvidiuMihai I'm saying Dusk has an amazing score. As in, music made specifically for the game. GTA has amazing soundtracks, as in, music that already existed beforehand and they just compiled all of it together into one package.

Lol what an assclown
I like how DMA went from making ports of Reflection games, to then having a direct rivalry with them once GTA and Driver blew up.
Only that rivalry would last a mere years before GTA blew sales charts sky high. Driver still stood it's own ground but couldn't hold a candle to any GTAs after San Andreas

Then the creator tried again with a new company and Crackdown which while successful with the first game quickly got forgotten by the 3rd

I agree. What is tragic, however is that the more PC the west becomes the less likely 7 or 8 will be made. V or VI might be the last :/
@@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive Yeah well said. I'm afraid that that's going to be the case.

GTA3 was the first gta game i played and it blew my mind as a kid. I thought it was the pinnacle of technological achievement. Vice city and San Andreas were probably the ones i have the most memories of, and GTAV might actually be my most played and favorite game of all time. Adding an online element to an already hectic and over the top little world was what I didn’t even know i needed.
It also arguably destroyed the franchise tbh

A little disappointing he failed to mention how integral Rockstar adopting the Euphoria physics engine was. Real time physics rendering was one of the bigger sales points for GTA IV sense most games at the time utilized baked dynamic animations in place of a proper physics engine. It was a technical achievement to have this running parallel to such a detailed open world, so much so that it ended up pushing other game makers to go bigger and subsequently launched us into the golden age of gaming.
I remember the buzz when GTA 3 was coming out and I swore I'd never buy it if they got rid of the birds eye view as I didn't think it would work. How wrong I was!

GTA 2 is a legend, I didn't understand half of it when I was young but still played it.
Only game in my life that my parents had to have a conference with my uncle when he bought it for my brother and I (we were probably just on the age of being teens). They didn't approve, we had to return it :(
This is literally better than some documentaries on Netflix. This should be its own series with an HBO deal

Makin' GTA in third person mode was the best decision they ever made
ifuk yourmum Not really though?
@@moneyman64 Go back to primary school please. 2D/3D refer to the number of spatial dimensions in the game, first person and third person refer to the perspective from which a game is played, seeing through the eyes of the character or looking at your character from another angle.
@@moneyman64 You literally respond to a guy who comments that GTA being in third person mode was a good idea by saying it is hard to imagine GTA V being in 2D, implying that it is obvious GTA V is in 3D while that's not even what the guy is talking about. You must obviously be pretty stupid, because a 3D video game can also be in a first person perspective only. So it is very normal for him to comment that it was a good idea that GTA was primarily created to be a 3rd person game. He's talking about the later installments in the series.
@@moneyman64 That's the entire point...the guy means that as soon as Rockstar started making 3D GTA games, they made a great decision by not making it first person but third person. How hard is it to understand that? It's such basic information that I'm kinda amused and surprised you didn't understand this comment in the first place.

@Dioo B. Thats a good one
I mean honestly though, I remember a few glitches from gta 3 that were more like features than glitches. There was this one garage in the first island where you weren't supposed to be able to go through it, but on the original versions of the game you could go right through the wall. It doesn't work on my iPad version though lol

The metal gear solid cut scene makes no reference to GTA. He says, "What is this, a carjacking?" "This isn't a capital, you know. Its a jungle."
I wish you had touched more on how revolutionary the change of the physics engine was. Euphoria was a huge step-up from regular ragdolls in other games as they reacted to getting hit in real-time. Everything else was great.
@Subi_fan everybody keeps reading my mind in the comments the damage physics in gta4 just make your heart melt gta5 was a total let down

LOL, I still remember when one of the classmates told me about the demo pc disk he had where you can just run around and steal cars, shoot people, and run from police. I did not beleive him. He then proved me wrong and lent the disc to me. It blew my mind. I still remember the 300 second countdown where as soon it hit zero, it would reset.
Hell yeah!
Ah.... The good days. When I was young and I'd sneak my copy of grand theft Auto 4 in my Xbox only for my mom to run over upon hearing the loading screen, and snap the CD in half. Good times when parents thought this game were going to turn us into psychopaths.
Humorously enough, I'm 21 years old and my mom still despises the game, refusing to let us play it at her house, OR play it even around her in my apartment. If I play it she continuously complains or tries to avoid the television altogether.
It's intriguing what media can do to a person's mind.
Don't play games when you have people over.
play the game especially when people are over.

GTA 2 was my jam when I was way too young to play it. Didn't grow to be a maniac, either.
I remember playing the demo disc of it back in the day, when you could buy the Playstation magazine each month with a demo disc teasing up and coming games. I must have been around 8 years old back then. I also didn't grow up to be a manic either.. much
The day a seven year old me see a grandma hit by a car moving backwards in GTA: SA, it instantly convince me to buy the game and PS2.

@@Largentina. not after I finish all mission packs for Quake 2.
I hope u are not saying that Dusk has comparable soundtrack to GTA
@@SuperOvidiuMihai I'm saying Dusk has an amazing score. As in, music made specifically for the game. GTA has amazing soundtracks, as in, music that already existed beforehand and they just compiled all of it together into one package.

Vice city absolutley did have one of the best soundtracks to any game ever and I think midnight club 2 is a strong second
Fantastic production. Thank you👍👍👍
