After 22 years, I just realized that in the bank heist intro, Miguel is driving a Banshee which is a 2 seater. Even he knew Catalina was gonna betray Claude and the other Colombian
You... were ignorant for your entire life? Neat. Us non-NPCs simply recognized our will to experience the grandeur of the new 3D era, even at 10 years old. You just.... didn't until now? Oh wait, I see the mask in your picture, that tells me everything I needed to know.
I don't know why but there's something abit sinister about claude, he doesn't talk at all and will do anything for anyone to get his revenge and climb to the top of the criminal underworld as a hitman.
Something interesting for you, the developers created the opening scene camera work as an homage to changing from top down to 3rd person, the camera starts as top down then zooms into 3rd person.
@@TheGamingJewYT you and me both especially since we have to wait until 2085 on ps5000 for GTA 6🤣 so it's always dope to relive the classics...these games use to come out yearly.. San Andreas to 4 was a 4 year gap and 4 to 5 was a 5 year gap... we've been waiting on 6 for 10 years 😐
@Marcus yeah you're right man, but I enjoy GTA V still so much fun to be had in that game with the right imagination. It sucks about the wait though for GTA6 the way I see it is PlayStation had 3 GTAs (5 if you can't LCS AND VCS) BUT GTA V has had 3 generations of console Ps3 ps4 ps5 😂
The main character in this game was Lazlow with Chatterbox. I remember driving through the map for hours, wiping npc’s out of spawn, just to listen to his broadcast. -this comment is sponsored by LoveMedia
Dont even get me started on that lazlow guy. I heard enough of his stories about getting rejected by a waitress, or being in the high school band and playing sissy music and getting no respect from the "r-tards in suits" on VRock. This comment was sponsored by VRock! "While other Stations are at school, we're shoplifting!"
Lazlow was a Vice City radio host, San Andreas radio host, and then a Liberty city radio host even in GTA 4, 7 years after Claude finished off Catalina. He survived them all.
Damn bro I got 2 years til I turn 30. I remember being 6, my dad coming home and throwing this game on the bed saying “don’t play that!”. Of course after like an hour I unsealed the game and popped it in. Best decision I ever made lol
Im 34 and I can still remember when the GTA 3 commercial was advertising. Claude jumping a ramp with the opera music playing. I think he was driving a Banshee. If so, I really do have memory like an elephant.
In my opinion, I think the reason people like Salvatore and Catalina betrayed Claude and why Donald Love vanished is because they knew how dangerous he was. They knew that he isn’t really loyal to anyone and will kill anyone with no hesitation. He’s literally Michael Myers but more dangerous. So they tried what they could to get rid of him. But boy they just fucked themselves. If you really look at the game’s story, you realize how dangerous he really is
As we see in San Andreas, Catalina was all around unhinged and unpredictable. The game is fairly explicit about why Salvatore betrayed. As for Donald Love, he had too much to lose just by disappearing. Either they got him or he was chasing something, that could get him even more. According to some cut files, it is implied the packages Claude was collecting for Donald were actually plates for printing counterfit money.
I think the thing with Salvatore is that in 91 CJ worked for him to get rid of the forrelis and then he robbed Salvatore's casino so seeing Claude rise to power as fast as CJ made him more anxious of Claude
"I know a place on the edge of the red light district where we can lay low, but my hands are all messed up, so you better drive brother." Tons of issues getting this thing to play on my PC back in the day burned this line into my brain. Going from GTA 1 and 2 to 3 was an adjustment, and that was my introduction to it. Now it's pure nostalgia.
“I know a place near the edge of the Red Light District where we can lay low, but my hands are all messed up, so you better drive, brother.” One of the most iconic intro lines in video games history
One of the first games I ever got to play on my brand new PS2 as a 12 year old kid. I remember sitting in the back seat of my parents' car on the way home as they made me swear that I wouldn't use it as a killing sim, but I was too busy studying the printed poster/map that came with the game to really care or listen about what they were trying to preach/warn me about at the time. And so by day under their watchful eyes I explored each corner of the map like a respectful citizen going about their day in peace. And by night.. I wreaked havoc on Liberty City 😂
My Dad printed out all the cheats for GTA 3 and Vice City for me and my brother. He loved watching us just blow shit up and cause chaos when our mom wasn't home. Mom lost her shit when she came home early one day and it caused a giant fight between them. Good times.
This was one of the worse things that happened to me in college. I went and brought that ish at like 2am, started playing and didn't go to sleep lol I had class and football practice lord this game was sensory crack.
Mafia, Triads, Yakuza, Diablo, Columbian Cartel and Southside Hoods, that KJAH radio is the greatest radio station in GTA History, man I miss this game
This was amazingly put together. I felt like I was watching a BBC Documentary. GTA III is one of my favorites games of all time, it literally changed the gaming world. Played it in late 2001 when I was 12. Nowadays I sometimes sport a "Chatterbox FM" shirt which gets an occasional nod from someone "in the know". Anyways I'm rambling, thank you for this fantastic piece.
Playing the mission “Skunk in the Trunk” and the one where you sell that human meat to the meat shop in ChinaTown, man these missions had me shook lmao
4:16 Man this part is so nostalgic. Young and no money me couldn't afford memory cards so every time I played GTA 3 it was always a new playthrough.. unless i left my PS2 on lol
I was a teenager when this came out. For me it was just do what I'm told. I really didn't pay attention to the deeper story. Thank you for another great video!
this is the kind of GTA III video i've been wanting to see my whole life tbh. It's the approach to the subject and the way you describe every event in detail that captured my attention. Great work 8 mins in and you already got a sub and I'm saving this one for the weekend
It took me till the end to realize the "updated" footage wasn't only from the definitive edition, but you also went in GTA V and recorded B roll footage 👍👍
Synthesizing the GTA3 story in the fashion you have is quite remarkable. It's strange but you've somehow brought more life into the characters and mini-stories by your own story-telling of its events. As you said in the beginning, narratives can get lost on gamers, esp ones that aren't as emphasized as GTA3 which sort of just flings by. This is masterful work, glad I found this channel, looking forward to more, keep it up!
Especially in massive open worlds where we just free roam around effing shit up. I've restarted RDR2 twice and have yet to complete a playthrough because I always get distracted wandering around doing side stuff and I forget what's going on in the story
Claude is my second favorite gta protagonist, even without dialogue, he only has one motive, revenge, and he does whatever is necessary to get closer to killing Catalina
@@brianrusso4592 never played vice city tbh, I started with GTA III then SA but always felt like vice city wasn’t it for me. I’ll play it eventually though.
The Algorithm, as broken as shit as it is, suddenly recommends me this gem of a video and underrated channel! Compelling storytelling, decent pacing, and surprisingly good editing and camerawork in a known broken GTA Definitive Edition! Liked, Subbed, and commenting so the Algorithm can twist its neck to your favor! Cheers!
Thank you for making this video. I've 100% almost every 3D GTA game except this game back in the day all because it didn't have a in game map. I really liked how you used the definitive edition to showcase the video, I don't have access to it. I really appreciated it.
What are you talking about? The pause screen had a map, and you had a radar in the bottom of the screen. The booklet also had a map, as well as the official website, and the Brady Guides. There were maps everywhere for this game when it came out, and the city is so small you can memorise it in 15 minutes.
Vice City 🌆 was the Only one I didn't %100 because it came to a point when I didn't have any more missions to do and it was literally like I didn't know how to get ahead.. I must have had to buy something.. but I do remember a Map being on 3. I was like 9 when this game came out, I don't think I would have beaten it without a Map 🗺️
I've only just noticed that in the beginning heist, the other Columbian robber in the hat was shot along with Claude. I never noticed his corpse before, and just assumed it was Miguel who ran ahead of Catalina. It would have been interesting to hear why he was shot too, how Claude felt about, and who he was.
I only realised when the remake came out that there were a hint of claude being set up due to the banshee being a 2 seater. Something i didnt pick up on when i played the original. Props to rockstar for little details like that
This video makes story sound so much more serious than it actually is😂 awesome video , voice was like straight from some druglord tv show documentary lol
1st time watching one of your videos and let me tell you i loved every single minute of it. There's a passion in that voice and it's awesome. I'm currently "replaying" gta 3 after a few years, and i stopped your video where i am in the story so I won't get any spoilers but I'll be sure to comeback to see the rest 👀👀
I remember a part in the instruction booklet that said, "In Liberty City the only drity word is hope." Did a pretty good job at describing the City and your narration drove it home. Thanks for the video!
Rockstar Fact: Claude was actually suppose to be voiced by actor *Mel Gibson* which at the time made since given that GTA 3 is based on his 1999 movie “Payback”. Edit: in the remade editions you can really see some of the likeness of the actor.
I’m currently replaying all the GTA games and I’ve just finished GTA 3. This video was great to recap what just happened and better understand the story. Fantastic video and excellent storytelling! ❤
8 balls hands were actually burned from a mission in the gba game gta advanced - I might be wrong because I haven't played gta advanced in a long time, but the mission involved fighting off King Courtney and his hands got burned in the battle
Actually what you said is partially true. After the Battle with King Courtney, police caught him. He was in Shoreside Vale's prison but eventually he was shifted back in Portland in 2001
Well summarised man. I have always been curious about the last scene in the game. The gunshot we last heard. Was Claude killing Maria because of her loud mouth, or was it just an in-game sound?
I also didn’t have a memory card so I’d just start playing get as far into the game as possible maybe like 5-6 missions and if my psp died or the game restarted I had to start from scratch. I wish I could just hand my younger self an SD card right now.
Only 4 minutes in an I love it just subscribed! please do more GTA stories. Since GTA 3 it's been my favorite video game franchise the only one I love more is RdR
Impressive storytelling gotta say! And what's more, you didn't make any mistakes regarding the lore which is admirable 👌Well, apart from one mistake made in the description, Rockstar North (today's DMA Design) is the developer of GTA 3, not Rockstar Games ;)
I tried playing this game a long time ago... got lost, got stuck between a pillar and a concrete barrier, I stopped playing it. Today I finally knew what it was all about 😅. Thanks for the story!
I haven’t played 3 in like 20 years and so much of the story went over my head then, so having it told this way was way better than just watching cutscenes would’ve been. Really great story telling
I know absolutely *NOTHING* about the story in this game. I played it when I was 6-7 and I didn’t understand anything really. I remember picking up a hooker which zero idea as to why she got into the car and why she was stealing my money every couple seconds ☠️ Excited to finally see what I was actually doing.
Brilliant work thanks, definitely wouldn't say no to more GTA stories, some of them are actually really good but I think that gets overlooked due to the chaos and amount of other things you can do in general, the fun factor means the story itself can slip you by so when you're done it's like I enjoyed that but they all seem to morph into one for me at least, probably doesn't help how many times played all of them through over the years
Man, such beautifully produced video! Amazing storytelling with a British accent that adds more to the experience. Also I love the creative usage of music from the actual game soundtrack. I don't know how I've missed this video for such a long time but I'm glad the algorithm brought me here!

That's the point he was in on it
It was kind of obvious when he was shot that the crew was in on it, but it is a nice detail.
Only now I realize that I was too young to really understand the story. I would just do the missions and free roam 80% of the time.
Me too, loved exploring and admiring the detail. Had never seen a game like it before :)

Nope
*Better than John Wick!*
without the dog lol
"My hands are all messed up, so you gotta drive brotha!"
8 balls hands were actually burned from a mission in the gba game gta advanced - I might be wrong because I haven't played gta advanced in a long time, but the mission involved fighting off King Courtney and his hands got burned in the battle
Actually what you said is partially true. After the Battle with King Courtney, police caught him. He was in Shoreside Vale's prison but eventually he was shifted back in Portland in 2001
Thank you bro lol I could only remember King Courtney
For the island prison in Portland.
@@elperrodelautumo7511 no for the Prison near the Hospital 😂😂😂
This is amazing 😊 I hope you're gonna do Vice City, San Andreas etc? 🤔 lol
Please cover the entire GTA series like this. I'll become a Patron member if you do.
I remembered every mission playing this game when i first had my PS2
I played it so many times!
Well summarised man. I have always been curious about the last scene in the game. The gunshot we last heard. Was Claude killing Maria because of her loud mouth, or was it just an in-game sound?
It was a bug that the dev left out, so its basically open for interpretation what happen to Maria.
I had a psp as a kid so I never got the story fully. But the bridge being out because they blew it up finally answers a question I’ve had for so long
I also didn’t have a memory card so I’d just start playing get as far into the game as possible maybe like 5-6 missions and if my psp died or the game restarted I had to start from scratch. I wish I could just hand my younger self an SD card right now.
Good job my man. Took me back to when life was good
Feel like I was watching Discovery Channel but it's about GTA 3 very well done
Amazing run down of an iconic and groundbreaking game.
Only 4 minutes in an I love it just subscribed! please do more GTA stories. Since GTA 3 it's been my favorite video game franchise the only one I love more is RdR
I love this video. If you keep making these I'll watch them from start to finish. 🔥
RUclips Al led me to your channel, and this was ART. You've gained a sub. I really hope you eventually tackle the other GTA games!!!
Impressive storytelling gotta say! And what's more, you didn't make any mistakes regarding the lore which is admirable 👌Well, apart from one mistake made in the description, Rockstar North (today's DMA Design) is the developer of GTA 3, not Rockstar Games ;)
I tried playing this game a long time ago... got lost, got stuck between a pillar and a concrete barrier, I stopped playing it. Today I finally knew what it was all about 😅. Thanks for the story!
So no one’s gonna ask if he shot maria or used it to shut her up?
@@TerminalKittyit was a glitch that the devs left in cause it sounded cool. Nothing deeper than that lol
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 and I was being funny about it, nothing deeper than that. Go fuck yourself.
I haven’t played 3 in like 20 years and so much of the story went over my head then, so having it told this way was way better than just watching cutscenes would’ve been. Really great story telling
Thank you
I know absolutely *NOTHING* about the story in this game. I played it when I was 6-7 and I didn’t understand anything really. I remember picking up a hooker which zero idea as to why she got into the car and why she was stealing my money every couple seconds ☠️
Excited to finally see what I was actually doing.
Nice content! Really likeable. Watching good 'ol GTA 3 told as a movie. Best I've seen here on RUclips for a long time. Thank you!
Brilliant work thanks, definitely wouldn't say no to more GTA stories, some of them are actually really good but I think that gets overlooked due to the chaos and amount of other things you can do in general, the fun factor means the story itself can slip you by so when you're done it's like I enjoyed that but they all seem to morph into one for me at least, probably doesn't help how many times played all of them through over the years
"But my hands are all messed up. So you better drive, brotha!"
I still think about this quote from time to time.
You did such a great job with this.
Thanks
Man, such beautifully produced video! Amazing storytelling with a British accent that adds more to the experience. Also I love the creative usage of music from the actual game soundtrack. I don't know how I've missed this video for such a long time but I'm glad the algorithm brought me here!
Chatterbox was fuckin amazing
Thumbnail design & idea 👏🏼👍
Thank you! Cheers!
