A developer recently started a blog chronicling his time at Rockstar Games building the GTA games, however, Rockstar has already shut it down. The archive is still up. Read it while you can!

What the actual fuck is wrong with them? Not even Nintendo's THIS bad, it's goddamn words on a blog

It's always interesting to read about companies which went from being a typical game developer who made a variety of games, to a Franchise Factory that just pumps out sequels to the same game over and over again.

You should probably save this on another site. The Internet Archive will comply with Rockstar and have this taken down.

Not him, but I agree. Save all these archive links to archive.today, download the pages, whatever it takes.

R* found out and got pissed, so to avoid conflict, the guy deleted most of the articles.

The archive page and download link have all of them that he wrote. I was really looking forward to more inside stories and all of the GTA4 stuff, but that ain't gonna happen now...

I think its Take-Two specifically that does this DMCA shit. Dont know how much of it is Rockstar's doing, but Take-Two is definitely the driving force behind it all.

Common industry practice, otherwise we'd be getting inside looks into all sorts of studios. For some reason that's not allowed the industry needs to be shrouded in mystery

Usually devs sign contracts which say they're not allowed to say anything about the development of the game or the company.

And they're right, because anything a dev say will be taken as "factual" by idiots when it's just the opinion or feeling of a single person. Now imagine if this happened to you, if you've ever worked in a company in your life you know how it goes, there will always be a coworker shitting on you in your back for no reason other than use it as a mean to make himself look good or bond with other coworkers. Now imagine that person is the only one getting his opinion for the whole world to see, that's it, it's official: you're a shitty person, it's now a "fact".

Lmfao, the articles aren't even that interesting. Not to shit on the guy or anything but it's not even like he's dishing on anything or exposing any internal processes, it's just shit like "wow we had fun taking pictures of the locations" and "when CJ was fat he couldn't jump over walls". Man, they really hate the fanbase of their old games.

>They insisted different gangs would have different walk animations. Apparently a recognizable gang walk is a thing.
This is kinda neat I guess, too bad they didn't follow through with it. I hate how half-finished the whole gang thing felt, there were gangs in San Fierro and Venturas but they just kind of wandered around. I wanted Grove Street to expand into new cities and fight the mafia families in Venturas
