Can The Real Claude Please Stand Up
Claude
The very first string found within the game's text file. This could be a reference to Claude Speed, who was the protagonist in Grand Theft Auto 2, and if so, they likely intended to give the player character in this game, who is normally nameless, the same identity.

So Claude is the protag in 2 and 3?

I remember a friend of mine got the demo for this game, played the hell out of it. Eventually got the full version on my PC, plus both London's, played them non stop for years.

GTA 2 on PSX was loads of fun. I remember the PSX struggled to keep up every time I'd pack a bunch of cars together and blow them up. It still has my favorite story and soundtrack out of any GTA game.

>>1141167

The best deigned game pre-GTA III. Now, you said that you've played them all except V, so I can explain this stuff to you and relate it back to the classic experiences of 1 and 2.

Gameplay wise, the game is pretty damn balanced. The missions are easier than what you find in 1 (though you still get some ones that aren't that well explained...protip: in the last area, you'll get a message that someone is leaving town, but the game doesn't explain what you're to do. Blow up the car. Don't steal it, don't try to run the person over, just nuke the fucking car).

The city design is also pretty good and better than the crammed streets of GTA1. The bigger streets and alleyways allow for easier escaping of the police.

The missions don't get ridiculous like they did in GTA1. In GTA1, some areas of the game (Hello, Vice City!) would throw a ridiculous amount of enemies at you and expect you to take them out with the awkward aiming controls. London does not expect this of you. The missions in this game are just plain fun, and don't get as tedious as GTA2's or as hard as GTA1's.

And what I find most interesting is that the game has an actual narrative. It's nothing compared to what you saw in GTAIII onward, but it's more than what GTA1/2 had. Most of it is pieced together through mission dialogue, but it's still pretty neat that they decided to do more than "aimless thug looking to make some money"

How is that a moved goalpost? I said cars can jump and jump is all it does. You can't compare it to the helicopters and float plane in Vice City. It's named after a flightless bird for a reason.
You can jump in GTA 2 and keep airborne for infinite periods if you do it right.

I cannot stop praising the map design of residential district in GTA2. It's some kind of pinnacle of map designs.

First of all it has two missions allowing you some unlocks:
- the redneck's one allows you access to zaibatsu via over the top road
- the zaibatsu's one allows you to use old railroad to gain access to SRS laboratory with slower vehicles

Also

>prison mission

They utilized every possible corner of the map making it very rich.

>zaibatsu and rednect area
I find other areas on other mission to be not such unique as these one.

>It's better than the original in the means of graphics and actual game play, but it has a few very BAD flaws.

>One is not being able to save your game when ever you wish. That's PLAIN just stupid if you ask me. You get ONE place on each level to save and then it costs $50,000 each time. WOW! What the heck were they thinking?

>The 2nd flaw is, the game is played at an aerial view which is not only hard on the eyes, but makes it very hard to find anything unless you have a map, then its still a pain in the rear. It's like walking around in a never ending maze. 3rd and last is the phones used to do the gang jobs. Some of the phones are VERY hard to find.

The perspective isn't great. You can't see very far so it's easy to take the wrong turn even with the arrows leading the way. Of course you memorize it after a while but sometimes you just want to have fun.
The telephones aren't bad. There is no pressure to find them and you get a guiding arrow as well as the ringing sound.
You don't really have to save after each mission. Messing up isn't the end of the world.

Britfag here. It always amused me how easy it was to find a parking space in GTA: London.

Other British GTA hilarity: The BBFC (film classification) gave GTA an 18 certificate (adults only). I thought that was a bit steep, as graphically it wasn't much worse than, say, Cannon Fodder, although it did have a few swears. I suppose it was because the violence was directed against the police and innocent civilians. Anyhow, when GTA 2 came out, which was if anything more violent, they only gave it a 15 certificate.

You might.

It's not retro and it's not exactly recent, but there was a mission in Liberty City Stories where you cut up a man and deliver him to his own meat shop.

I can't believe I just typed that shit. It sounds a lot less weird in my mind.

Also, the best GTA2 mission is the one where you have to get arrested and cause a riot in the jail to kill one guy.

If you really look at it, hardly any of the GTA protagonists are "young".
Michael is mid-thirties or early-fourties, Trevor is about the same age as Michael, during Vice City, Tommy was like 35, Toni is 30, and Johnny, rest his soul, was 39 before getting killed by Trevor.

The youngest was CJ, who was 25 during SA, but that made sense because he was just a ghetto gangster.
It makes sense. I mean, there's no way any of them could do any of the shit they do without a lot of experience.

I don't think they ever gave CJ a definite age.

Also, it's kind of amazing of all the shit you do in GTA1. There are missions in the Vice City portion that have you killing the fictional president and his wife. Of course, barely anyone got to do that because this game is hard as diamonds.

Loved running people over in GTA 2 with pic related.

It's a damn shame rockstar abandoned the rather unique settings to the series. London in the 60's would totally work as well as GTA 2's retrofuturistic world would allow plenty of neat features, but then again, these wouldn't sell as well because people don't know what's cool anymore.

Anonymous Fri Oct 18 04:50:57 2013 No.1143201

>>1143196

It would sell because it's GTA. Rockstar makes a good game, and the GTA name is one that players still trust.

And honestly, I'll give it to Rockstar (or DMA design rather) because back when they kicked off the series, they had an interesting setting. A modern day crime simulator. And the games that came after it were also unique. GTA2 had a retro-futuristic vibe aesthetic and vibe, Vice City took place in the 80s, and SA the 90s.

I do kinda miss the cops having the best cars in the game, though. They would need to balance it so they weren't overpowered, but nothing was quite like killing a cop and getting into his cruiser for the first time. Shit was intense. Gotta go fast. Gotta go so fast that I wreck the car. Every time.

The slogan of Bitch'n' Dog Food Factory is "Make That Bitch Shut Up", and claims to use "tasty bone meal, chicken carcasses, the scrapings off the abattoir floor and lots of other nutritional goodies". In GTA III, Marty's accountant, two thieves and Mrs. Chonks were all turned into dog food after Marty ordered Claude to drive them to the factory and use different means to get rid of the car as evidence.

So that would make Claude the most frequently seen MC of GTA, even if he's technically in only two games.

I could see Clause getting in the next Smash Bros because Reggie just so happened to be friends with Dan Houser, and Sakurai was there saying "please be patient", despite GTA not being a Nintendo series. GTA has as much history with Nintendo as MGS did with Brawl; since then, MGS has one more game than GTA. Fittingly enough, just like MGS, two of them were ports, and two of them were spinoffs.

They were also meant to make GTA3 for the GameCube, but they decided against it because the sales of Smugglers Run weren't so hot. Probably the same happened here.

Also, Nintendo is partially responsible for the GTA engine as we know it. It was thanks to them that they made Body Harvest, which featured vehicular action much like the later games. So that means GTA is technically more Nintendo than MGS.

I find DMA design's late 90s games interesting, because they all had a gimmick despite being drastically different games: vehicle switching.

GTA, Body Harvest, and Space Station Silicon Valley all had you switching vehicles constantly to complete the game (SSSV's animals weren't actual vehicles, but close enough)

Also, as an aside, if you look at the character art in Body Harvest, it heavily resembles the GTA character art. I've never bothered to check, but I'm sure those games had the same artist on board.

There's a mission in San Andreas called Body Harvest, even. And I find it strange how DMA Design seemed to be a small but closely knit/well coordinated team. Unless of course, Lemmings DMA grew with each year.

So, just like how the 3DS got a shitty port of MGS3, do you think Rockstar will make a shitty remake of San Andreas for the Wii U?

There was also a bar in San Andreas known as Ten Green Bottles or something, which was a reference to Lemmings.

I do wonder where some of the old GTA heads are today. I know a few of the designers of the original GTA went on to make Car Jack Streets for various systems. I think Mike Daily has a website that he still updates (he's also apparently working on a 3D version of GTA1).

I think the Housers came in around the time GTA London/GTA2 came in. In fact, I think Dan wrote London.

I need to find a youtube video of some news crew going around DMA's offices back in the late 90s after GTA1 came out. The team was of course smaller, but it was a neat little video where they briefly talked to a lot of the people on the team.

Loved these games. Payed 60 bucks for GTA2 when it came out. I miss the fuck out of London1969. I had it on PS1. Which by the way was weird as fuck changing discs out with GTA1 to make it work.

Alright, you dirty bastards. Let's get that game of GTA2 going.

First off, everyone download the game (it's free on Steam IIRC). Wherever you get it, it's not going to take you long because it's only 300 MB or so.

Then download the GTA2 game hunter here >>1150027

And...we'll move from there.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only person that ever owned this game, no-one ever seems to know it existed.

Was it that bad? I know it's extremely simplistic and you could only have 4 cars on screen at once but I enjoyed the hell out of it.
Really need to buy and play GTA1/2 and it's expansions now that this thread has reminded me

I played GTA1/2 on the GBC more than I care to admit.

They're impressive games, when you consider they're both mostly unabridged versions of their bigger brothers. That being said, they're fucking awful. The vehicles handle like shit in both games. This is slightly less of a problem in GTA1 because there are barely any cars on the screen. In GTA2, however, there are too many damn cars on the screen at once, and since the collisions are ass, it's easy to get stuck often.

They're worth checking out for the pure technical aspect of it, seeing as the whole games are there. But if you actually want a crime simulator on the GBC, go with Driver. It's everything those two games should have been and more.

Anyone here ever mod for GTA?

I'm looking at the modding tools and it looks like there's a lot of fun to be had here.

I'm thinking of creating a stunt arena to play around in before I try anything serious.

If you want some really cool shit like Beatles and Elvis, Rolling Stones, Buddy Holly, etc, Rockstar is gonna have to pay top-dollars for those rights, it's one thing to license one song for one scene in one game, but there's a lot of songs that go into GTA radio stations.

Shit, their labels might not even allow it for all the money they're worth, though they're actually making record money on V right now, so I hope they'll be experimenting a bit from now on.

I personally think it could be cool to see the wacky humor and violent themes of classic Grand Theft Auto, in say, a cyberpunk setting, it'd be like Shadowrun on crack.

An upside to GTA's ever growing popularity into the franchise juggernaut it is nowadays is that as time passes they can afford more and more licenses of increasing visibility. The radios in GTA1 and GTA2 were almost solely made of in-house produced songs, 3 started bringing in some licensed stuff, the VC came, SA, etc and the ammount of hits just goes up.
A GTA game with a soundtrack of mostly all-stars bands doesn't seem that far off, and remember also their usual MO of mixing lesser known acts along with the genre defining hits to make their memorable radio stations work.

>I personally think it could be cool to see the wacky humor and violent themes of classic Grand Theft Auto, in say, a cyberpunk setting, it'd be like Shadowrun on crack.
Wasn't GTA2 at least a little like that?
Always thought it had that near future feel to it, that Rockstar surely needs to make some day into the new GTA mold.

did you guys know that you can 'fly' in gta2? I found this out when i was messing about once. Just jump off a ledge whilst running and then rapidly throw either molotovs or grenades. It doesn't use up ammo and the guy just flaps his arms meaning you can move over obstacles to get to any area that's on the same height or lower- it's great especially for level 2. To lower yourself just slow the rate at which you throw the weapons and you'll drop down. If possible use grenades for this because when you hit the ground you will throw a weapon and blast your character.

Man I remember when I first got this game, it was on the Playstation. Few years later I stumbled across the PC version and it blew my damn mind with how much was missing from the PS port. The dusk setting alone was more than enough, then I saw a few cars I never knew about, heard lines I never did before.

I still play this from time to time.
