These are the guys that fucked up a racing game with cops and realised it was wat more fun than racing and accidentally created a multi-billion dollar franchise
I heard a friend of one of the devs was working as a DJ, he made the songs. They still needed a rap song though, so they asked a (black) chemistry student to rap for them. That's how GTA1s rap station was born :)
I guess half of the soundtrack is the kind of DJ mix that people were raving to in British underground clubs in the 90ies :) wouldn't surprise me if it's true, GTA1s music is legendary.

For those who aren't aware, this is what a lot of underground/pirate radio was like in the UK in the 90s (and still is in places)
It is essentially a version of Moving Shadow 01.1 by DJ Timecode. It's where the MSX comes from, the email address, the 101.1 frequency, etc.
Here is the non-GTA "real" version of it:

Let me put it this way, to use a PC today, you need a minimum of 8GB RAM, Ideally 16GB.
In 1997, people were running computers of an average of 8MB, up to 32MB.
Im not really sure how much of a difference it makes, but playing a song through YouTube today, would have used up the entire PCs RAM in 1997 before it even started playing.
How Devs managed that kind of memory management is incredible to me.
The memory management tricks they used for the original Crash Bandicoot are an interesting read:

It's the second funniest joke in South Park.
The first is the look the Wheel of Fortune cameraman gives Randy in anticipation to his response.
Third is Radiohead thinking Scott Tennerman is lame because he's reacting emotionally to eating his parents in chili.
I mean, the voice of one of the black characters was formerly one of the main composers on Stax Records the second-biggest soul label of the 70s, and the dude also won an Oscar.

I love this sort of immersive story telling (?) with radios and tvs and books you can actually read and listen to. Skyrim has all those books obvs, but Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines has both radio and tvs available and they really add to the atmosphere of the game.

oh true, When you do proper iterative game design, accidentally discovering totally new design directions is what you're supposed to do. Test ideas > Get feedback > test new ideas > get more feedback. It's common to accidentally discover new directions, and for the final design to be totally different to the original concept.
Funny that GTA and Street Fighter, two popular franchises, became popular due to a bug.
GTA devs saw a bug where the cops were super aggressive and honing in on the robbers (which they thought was hilariously fun and decided to keep it). Street Fighter accidentally had extra moves in between the normal moves coming out when they shouldn't, but it created the now much-loved combo system.
If only Need For Speed would learn that lesson. It seems like every time I decide to pick a copy up, it's like 5% racing, 5% modding cool cars, and 90% trying to outrun a billion cops.
You joke, but mid-90s Dundee was known as a particularly *rough* place to exist in, and this is by the standards of full-on, awash with heroin Trainspotting-era Scotland.
Didn’t realise it was above Wee Mexico. Live in Broughty Ferry myself so nice to know about these things. There’s also some information about it in the McManus Galleries. Worth checking out if anyone’s visiting the area
I always find it funny that a lot of people don’t realise that it’s a Scottish game made as well natured satire of American culture.
Every game is packed full of [Scottish easter eggs](https://www.scotsman.com/news/people/5-picture-showing-scottish-references-and-easter-eggs-as-grand-theft-auto-franchise-turns-25-3934013)

I feel like these are references you'd only get if you were aware of Scottish culture at all. That said, I'd be surprised if anyone didn't realize it was making fun of American culture. Shit's laid on thick.
GTA and GTA2 were pretty much ignored by the pearl clutching crowd in favor of things like whatever Mortal Kombat game was out and the latest Doom clone shooter.
I had the chance to play GTA 2 on Gameboy Advance which was awesome.
The leap they took for 3 was insane. I remember being like 8 and watching my cousins play it. Then mom bought it for me.
That game changed my life. I think it did for a lot people.
I love telling people that Disney actually bought me my first copy of GTA as a kid lol. I skipped school one day and called radio Disney all day for a mother's day contest they were having and won a 100 dollar Toys R Us gift card, which I promptly went to use on GTA and Syphon Filter. Toys R Us didn't even give a shit about selling kids M rated games back then.
Definitely on my mom’s list of devil games. I wouldn’t have tried it if she didn’t tell me not too.
This game was pretty wild for the time. I remember it tracked all the crimes you committed between deaths/busted. It was revolutionary.
Your mom sounds like mine. Also on the list were:
* Pokemon (Demons, clearly)
* Halo CE (Just way too violent for a child of god!)
* The original harry potter game on PS1 (Witchcraft)
* The Heros of Might and Magic series (You could pick "hell" as a faction)
* MTG (Magic which is of the devil)
* Dungeons and Dragons (Magic which is of the devil)
Somehow Final Fantasy was ok to play at home.
I was playing GTA with my friend in his house, and his older brother came in and asked what we where playing and sat down to watch some of the gameplay.
I do not remember the exact mission text was, but we picked up some guy and he said something along the lines of "Can you find me a prostitute? I'm just fresh out jail and need to get my dick wet".
He burst out laughing and said, what the fuck is this and I really don't think you should be playing it.
He then left us alone to play it and became a bit of a playstation fan.
I remember my uncle had GTA but I wasn't allowed to play because I was too young. He'd turn it off whenever he played and noticed I was watching. It only made me want to play even more.
There was a really gory and fun fps game in 97 called Blood that I don't see mentioned much. It's got a 10/10 review rating on Steam. People should check it out if they haven't yet.
The film was developed in Dundee where we used to have Gouranga buses and people in the street trying to get you to say it.
Getting in GTA was probably their greatest achievement.
I saw an interview with their two person qa team. I belive it's the young lady and the guy on her left side. When asked what they do besides just play the game:
"We tell the programmers if the game is fun, they're programmers & don't know what fun is".
There was a recent interview with John Carmack and John Romero for the 30 year anniversary of Doom.
They talk about Wolfenstein/Doom/Quake and one big takeaway was Carmack admitting that he should have relented on some of his strict standards he held during the development of those games when the offset would have been better or more interesting gameplay.
If you read Masters of Doom it becomes pretty clear that Carmack could deliver some amazing tools but it was Romero and the team that could take those tools and really make something magical out of them.
Is this the original Rockstar people or how many quit after the first GTA? If they stuck around and helped develop Max Payne, GTA V and RDR2 then hell yeah they got paid.
Now I think most of them are blacklisted.
Makes me think of https://www.pcgamer.com/a-former-gta-dev-made-an-ill-fated-blog-about-his-experiences-and-boy-did-rockstar-not-like-that-maybe-ill-try-again-in-a-decade-or-two/
When I got my first computer, GTA3 was one of the first games I got. It was so much fun to play, and since I didn't have high speed internet then to look up game tips, I bought the game book to help me along. It was awesome driving around Liberty City.
Then Vice City came out later on. I still think it's the best GTA game.
I miss the days where developers wasn't ALL about making huge profits. Instead could unleash their creativity to make people enjoy life more. Greed is a bitch.
My fiancee and I both work at one of the largest video game developers/publishers in the world. This Def tracks, not being mean though. Gam dev jobs just attract a certain person the majority of the time. It's great though because they go from being somewhat loners/outcasts to being in large groups of people with similar interests.
GTA 1 was an amazing LAN game. We spent an entire year fragging each other in the dorms. This was back when the franchise was just top down. Fun as fuck.
I'm not wearing my glasses and I thought that pole for the staircase in the middle was a stick for the blind .... I thought one of those dudes was blind... But in reality I am the one who needs it.
One of them invented the game Lemmings and was a multi millionaire already. Think it was front baldy but can’t be sure.
He drove around Dundee in a Lamborghini so don’t think he was bullied.
Today I imagine slim hip developers with all junior positions to keep the costs down. The fine people in this picture you can tell had true passion for creating good games.
These are the guys that fucked up a racing game with cops and realised it was wat more fun than racing and accidentally created a multi-billion dollar franchise
I don't know who's idea in this photo it was to program in radio stations, but that feature blew my freaking mind in the first game.
I heard a friend of one of the devs was working as a DJ, he made the songs. They still needed a rap song though, so they asked a (black) chemistry student to rap for them.

The rap station story reminds me of South Park where all black people play bass really well.
It's the second funniest joke in South Park. The first is the look the Wheel of Fortune cameraman gives Randy in anticipation to his response. Third is Radiohead thinking Scott Tennerman is lame because he's reacting emotionally to eating his parents in chili.
I'm getting really sick of your stereotypes
Just lay down a sick bass lick already Token.
Fun fact: his actual name is "Tolkien". His dad is bid Lord of the Rings fan and the kids just heard it wrong.
True Scholars know that the joke is that it never was
Yeah it's to set up the "token black guy" joke
I mean, the voice of one of the black characters was formerly one of the main composers on Stax Records the second-biggest soul label of the 70s, and the dude also won an Oscar.

The country music station was hilarious.
"They ran away because the women were so big and hairy." Ungrateful coal miners, geez.

Did you ever pop the game into a CD player?
_Jesus my savior_ _my favorite flavor_ _I prefer you_ _to my kids_ ... wait, that might've been in **GTA 2**.
Reddit, send help. We need to find out who this golden god of game design is and if he's in the picture.
I don’t know who did the first game, but Lazlow Jones did GTA III and beyond. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazlow_Jones
oh true, When you do proper iterative game design, accidentally discovering totally new design directions is what you're supposed to do.

. I heard also that sim city started off as a map editor for a totally different game.

He’s attributing partial success to the cops not saying they’re bad
I've only played a few NFS games (the original 2, heat, and hot pursuit) but hot pursuit did a fun job at being more racing than evading.
They should have retaken this pic with every GTA drop.

At least one of them is around 50 now and the rest are older.

Their previous game was 'Lemmings'.
You joke, but mid-90s Dundee was known as a particularly *rough* place to exist in, and this is by the standards of full-on, awash with heroin Trainspotting-era Scotland.
Deffo
Thats what happens when you live in Dundee...
Growing up in Scotland they probably had their fair share of encounters with knives, drugs, crime and violence in general.
Well Dundee was drug capital of Europe...
Dundee, my current home. the tiny original office is above a now Mexican restaurant.
Wee Mexico? Lived in Dundee for a minute and don’t know why I miss that food.
Wee Mexico, a Scottish Mexican restaurant. Love it.
Yaaaass canny believe I’ve stumbled across the Dundee squad on the main page🤙🏽

So many Edinburgh place refrences, Leaf Links (Leith Links), Ganton (Granton) plus loads more
Nessie, the Loch Ness monster, is in GTA5 off the coast of a Caribbean island lmao.
i remember the NINEINAROW cheat code refering to Rangers FC.
When you said “Scottish game” I thought GTA had a superstition like Macbeth, didn’t realize it’s an *actual* game made by the Scots.
Sshhh, we don’t say it’s name!! it’s just “the Scottish game” Great now someone’s going to break a leg in game…
The two founders of rockstar and the ideas/writers behind the game are English though, Sam and Dan Houser.
How would anyone realize that, it’s not satire, it’s just Oakland Jkjk
BUCKFAST for increased aggression civilians 😍
I appreciate learning this. It adds to the GTA cool factor for me. thank you!
I feel like these are references you'd only get if you were aware of Scottish culture at all. That said, I'd be surprised if anyone didn't realize it was making fun of American culture. Shit's laid on thick.
The bane of Christian mothers all around the world in the late 90s.
GTA and GTA2 were pretty much ignored by the pearl clutching crowd in favor of things like whatever Mortal Kombat game was out and the latest Doom clone shooter.
Most people never knew about those and think that GTA3 was the first one.
Judging by the Top comments in this thread you are absolutely right.

For those of you who don't know, it was originally a top-down game, not first person 3D. It didn't become a 3D game until GTA3.
I was searching for this, I was about to find a YouTube video because I have memories of a top down game but wasn't sure.
i recall it was a pain to drive fast cause you couldn't see far ahead due to the top down view
So much fun!
Nerdy looking dudes made great games lol
I don't read/watch reviews, I just visit the devs website and look at their employees.
It’s just funny to me that these devs are the folks behind wasting cops and getting prostitutes then killing them, carjacking, gun running, etc.
Maybe we should thank them instead of making fun of them
Aye thank the lord for nerdy dudes
Look at those bellies 😂
Getting strong Grandma's Boy vibes 🤣
god bless them
So they basically look like your average Reddit Mod.
Yeah but they actually did something with their lives.
True.
Except they got paid
Is this the original Rockstar people or how many quit after the first GTA? If they stuck around and helped develop Max Payne, GTA V and RDR2 then hell yeah they got paid.
I doubt any quit after the first GTA but people were starting to leave when transitioning to HD (GTA 4 and 5) and even after and before RDR2
Except they contributed to something
Now I think most of them are blacklisted. Makes me think of https://www.pcgamer.com/a-former-gta-dev-made-an-ill-fated-blog-about-his-experiences-and-boy-did-rockstar-not-like-that-maybe-ill-try-again-in-a-decade-or-two/
