Lips 96FM would be my radio of choice whilst listening to how some kidвЂ™s friend called Joey sewed his hands together.

Set it all up and spent the next 24 hours glued to my small CRT TV in my room, exploring every inch of Liberty City. Walking to my local EB Games store (now known as GAME here in the UK) picking up my Playstation 2 console with GTA 3 and Max Payne.

I'm telling you from experience though, maybe it was big on your playground, but I was in the business at the time (low on the totem pole not claiming expertise, just saying I was around for all of these products and remember how R*'s E3 booth looked and how GTA had a notably tough showing there, promoted against Smuggler's Run 2 and other games with GTA3 as just another title in the mix, albeit I believe it was only on videotape or playable only in appointment rooms.) GTA3 was not the game everybody was running worldwide forecast predictions on.LifeisXboxвЂ™s Grand Theft Auto 3 вЂ“ Definitive Edition Review | I remember it like it was yesterday. The world was on the web by 2001 though, and websites weren't going gaga for it either, most of their archives are up. (Although again, Edge didn't pay it much mind, they instead spent their time on Galleon, 'The next game from the creator of Tomb Raider!') Take-2 had better success with the franchise there (despite the creative energy to capture the feel of NYC/America, outside of the expansions,) maybe they concentrated exposure on 3 there.

GTA3 didn't really start to catch attention until August/September of that year (it released in October) when websites started doing feature reports all the little details included in the game (I remember it was a big deal that there were whole radio stations to listen to in the game, which got more ink than the actual gameplay because people couldn't believe a game could do something like that.) Until then, it was just a fun-looking drive-around sequel to that crummy game series that Somethingawful forum kids talked about playing in college. OPM put GTA3 on its November 2001 cover (BTW, of all character to feature, why that guy?) Even back home in the UK, GTA3 wasn't topping Edge, they instead did six covers with the consoles (and GBA) on the cover, and awarded the rest of their frontpages to Timesplitters 2, Burnout, Luigi's Mansion (I guess thats what that is?), Crazy Taxi 2, Galleon, EXO, and Sonic (or rather Dreamcast, so that's almost 7 covers.)Д®ven as late as E3 2001 that May, the big games were MGS2, Jak & Daxter, Halo, DMC, and everything on Gamecube. (The title doesn't even show up on their cover until July 22, when they give The Getaway a cover with the line, ' SONY'S ANSWER TO GTA3'.

(They made up to Rockstar for missing later next year by putting State of Emergency on the cover, that great big hit there.) Game Informer never even mentioned it in a bulletpoint, much less a cover story.

No, Grand Theft Auto 3 absolutely flew under the radar until just shortly before release.Д®ven as late as E3 2001 that May, the big games were MGS2, Jak & Daxter, Halo, DMC, and everything on Gamecube.
