Nobody messes with luigi's girls

I wish the all the later GTAs had covers like the PAL GTA3 cover instead of just the standardized NA-style one.

i would've bought the fuck out of Take2 that summer if i wasnt underage in 2001, seemed like no one at school knew this was coming out except me

>>9830874
doesn't look righjt

>>9830853
I remember Todd Howard saying it was cool.
>>9830906
It looks good but I don't really dig the white background.

They made dozens of open-world games to cash in on the new trend, obviously

And everybody messes with luigis mansion

GTA III was "fun" for maybe 5 minutes to me. Once I killed a few people, stole a car and raped a hooker, the novelty wore off and I went back to games with actual gameplay like Devil May Cry.

For me it's the aussie cover

Sure was funny when DMA Design turns from making a variety of games to exclusively edgy sandbox games

>>9830853
everyone had played lemmings

>and raped a hooker
go ahead and tell us how you do this in GTA3 pal
you were the kid in the playground who made up tall tales about what you can do in GTA weren't you?

>>9832470
sex = rape, you bigot

GTA and the GTA clones had to be the worst trend in gaming. It ushered in two decades worth of AAA studios pumping out open-world sandbox normie schlock. How many times are you going to rampage around a mundane New York/Los Angeles style city with uzis, a stolen car and a mini map lit up with objective markers? Literal mouth-breather game design. Although I do have the bri'ish to thank for XCOM.

They reacted with spider man 2

>>9830853
perfect cover, I love it too.

You're just angry because GTA is Chad's favorite game while you were playing Pokemon. Accept it.

>>9830874
I prefer the NA cover, it's more unique. PAL just looks like the style of cover many many movies have used beforehand.

That's what makes it good. It looks like a poster to a 70s heist film

Imagine the amount of people fired at Nintendo when they executives decided to not allow GTA3 in the Gamecube, and see the sales the first week.
And no, dont try to bullshit me with the "GAMECUBE IS A FAMILY CONSOLE" because fucking explain me resident evil games on it

>>9832517
That was years prior to the PEGI rating. That's the BBFC 18. The film ratings board.

>>9833993
Were there talks to port GTA3 to the GC?

>>9830853
I think everybody would agree that GTA3 had a huge impact on game development in some way or another.

The real question for me is whether or not GTA1 and 2 inspired any design trends. Were they influential titles, or only well-known due to aggressive and tasteless marketing?

GTA3 is less than 1GB so it could have run easily in the GC. Theres no official explanation why Rockstar didnt launch the game but theres 2 versions: rockstar saw that the gamecube was flopping and didnt bother making a port, or Nintendo didnt want a +17 rating videogame on their console

>>9830906
They were copying this

>Nintendo didnt want a +17 rating videogame on their console
That seems hard to believe considering the N64 was the home of FPS games on consoles before the Xbox filled that niche, with Turok and Doom 64 being exclusives. It also got exclusive Resident Evil games, Eternal Darkness was a launch title, Perfect Dark was released months prior, etc. The whole "Nintendo is for kids" meme was just a relic from Sega's advertizing in the 16-bit era.

>>9830853
>How did other devs react to this game when it came out? It must've been surprising that a relatively small inconspicuous company blew literally everyone the fuck out.

They really didn't. It was a shitty made game, with horrible controls, bad graphics, lack of polish etc, but it did it first and it did it well enough that with all of it's faults it was so much fucking fun. I got it day one, and didn't like it for the first 30 minutes because it was so janky and I only played good AAA games for the past decade at that point.

>just Sega's advertising
You clearly weren't alive back then. Eternal Darkness wasn't a launch title either, dumbass.
