Gta 3 Was A Timed Playstation Exclusive Because Microsoft Thought That The Transition From 2D To 3D Was Too Complicated For Rockstar

The documentary explains how a small game publisher approached Microsoft and wanted to steal one of the 2D games theys done for PC and invest in that franchise. The story went on: “It continued! These newly important executives in Xbox who were discussing all of their interviews with publishers and developers, said they didn’t think game will be able to transform from 2D to 3D. They felt it was complicated, they didn’t really understand the user interface, they thought it was based on a game that had not been all that successful. She was rejected. This game turned out to be GTA 3! With the use of the company’s software, Rockstar changed into an exclusive PlayStation 2 program in 2001. GTA 3 finally released on Xbox a year later. As part of the Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack, the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. In 2001, he sold 4.5 million units and was the best selling gaming game in the United States. It would have also been an accolade in the following year, as it hadn’t been beaten by the GTA Vice City successor. It seems that Microsoft didn’t regret it. GTA 3 continues its success even today, releasing the grand Theft auto as part of the Grand Theft Auto’s The Trilogy The Definitive Edition. The game has also been added to PlayStation Now on December 7 – although it will be available only until January 31-202. [Source: Power on, The Story of Xbox]
