Grand Theft Auto 5 may be one of the most popular video games ever, but it wasn't always a sure thing. Early Rockstar North employee Colin Macdonald revealed in a recent interview with the BBC that the tech demo for GTA 1 served as the game's inspiration and that staff members at the time thought it had a remote chance of succeeding.
Mike Dailly, one of the founding programmers of Rockstar North (then known as DMA Design), created the tech demo to test the viability of a top-down perspective, according to Macdonald. The future scope of the project was defined by an employee who proposed that it would be more enjoyable to manage one of the automobiles rather than the dinosaur after adding moving cars to the metropolis to give it some life.
The workforce at the studio selected GTA 1 as having the lowest chance of success out of all the games they were currently developing, Macdonald also revealed to the BBC. He claimed that although it was tough to play and bug-ridden at the time, the game really came into its own in the final six months of production.
In other GTA news, Rockstar has said that as long as role-playing servers don't have NFTs, assistance would still be provided. Due to one of the greatest leaks in video game history earlier this year, we also know that GTA 6 production is advanced. According to current ideas, it will probably take place in Vice City and include two major characters who have a Bonnie and Clyde-like connection.
