'We felt that video games, interactive entertainment or whatever you wanted to call it could also appeal to a bigger, wider audience вЂ“ older people who enjoyed playing games, but did not do so to the exclusion of everything else. 'We felt that not only was the content of video games becoming very staid, focused primarily on fantasy, children's characters or science fiction, but also the gameplay of those games was becoming very predictable,' Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser told Design Museum. There was only enough memory to load a few types at a time.вЂќДЄlongside the practical challenges that came with modernizing the backend of the game, Rockstar was equally determined to tell a more involving story. The limited memory is also the reason you would see so many of the same cars. This allowed the player to go too fast so the streaming would вЂlagвЂ™. Portland initially had a main drag all the way down it. вЂњWe actually had to slow the player down to minimize the issues. Unfortunately, the DVD drive was very slow and this caused the city to not be loaded in time and buildings to be invisible until they popped in. As they moved through the city, the new graphics had to be loaded from the DVD.

вЂњThe PS2 only had enough memory for a couple of city blocks around the player. вЂњThe main difficulty was the вЂstreamingвЂ™,вЂќ Vermeij explains.

In GTA IV the story was king and the missions were dictated by the story.' Obbe Vermeij - Technical Director 'You could say that for GTA III, the story was thin and written to accommodate the missions. While the team certainly wasnвЂ™t short of creative ideas, realizing the 3D environment that would be central to the GTA III experience - and ultimately change the course of gaming history - came with plenty of challenges. Then the level designers would try the idea and if it was fun we would fit it in the story.вЂќ WeвЂ™ll take your brain to another dimension The level designers (or in fact anyone in the team) would come up with an idea for a mission: вЂWhat if the player had to drive a van rigged with explosives? LetвЂ™s see if they can destroy a moving carвЂ™. вЂњThe team was relatively small at the time (around 25 people of which only seven were coders) so everybody was hands-on and every programmer had a large chunk of the game,вЂќ he continues. Edinburgh did all the modeling (characters, city, vehicles), the level design (missions) and the code. вЂњNew York would handle the voice acting, story and various style decisions. вЂњTogether we managed the вЂEdinburgh partвЂ™ of the game,вЂќ Vermeij tells us. Speaking to TechRadar, he explained how the development team established a transatlantic collaboration with Rockstar Games, the publishing company behind the GTA franchise, which was established in 1999 when Take-Two bought BMG Interactive. Vermeij started at DMA in 1995, building Space Station Silicon Valley for the N64. As technical director, Obbe Vermeij played a key role here, working alongside Adam Fowler, producer Leslie Benzies and art director Aaron Garbut. The boundless territory and endless horizons that GTA III promised led to a freedom of movement that is, now more than ever, near impossible to replicate in normal life.Д¬entral to this eye-popping achievement was the bravura technical ambition of DMA, which would become Rockstar North in 2001, and its decision to switch from the top-down perspective that had dominated Grand Theft AutoвЂ™s acclaimed but comparatively limited predecessors and into a hyper-real 3D vantage. To be found within the approximate 8kmВІ of the gameвЂ™s virtual expanse вЂ“ said by Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser to be a 'hybrid of a generic American city' and, in its three islands, resembling an industrial Brooklyn and Queens, ManhattanвЂ™s commercial district and the suburbs of New Jersey вЂ“ are the keys to the open world.
