Former technical director: The original multi person mode of GTA3 was cancelled due to the heavy workload

Obbe Vermeij, the former technical director of R Star, recently revealed that GTA3 originally planned to launch the multi player mode, but because of the heavy workload, it finally chose to give up.

"I wrote multiplayer game code for GTA3. Since GTA1 and GTA2 have both, we think GTA3 should also have. The basic game playing method can be realized, but there are too many other things to do, so we canceled it. Later, we tried again in Sin City, but failed. When San Andreas When it came out, we thought that the life cycle of the host was over half, and it was not worth developing the multiplayer mode, so we decided to replace it with the development cooperation mode. Only in GTA4, we have allocated enough programmers and level designers to achieve this goal. "

Now, GTAOL has almost become the benchmark of online game experience, and it is also the key to keep the community vitality of Three Men and One Dog for a long time. In addition, the old works of GTA series are still sought after by loyal players, and the three PS2 generation games are all supported by unofficial multiplayer Mod.
