Grand Theft Auto 3’s Chaotic Development Details Revealed by Rockstar Games Veteran

When it first came out, Grand Theft Auto 3 was a major release, especially since it revolutionized open-world games. However, according to Rockstar Games veteran Obbe Vermeij, its development was a bit of a mess. In a social media post looking back at the iconic game, Vermeij has spoken about how “For most of development, GTA 3 was in a sorry state.” Vermeij describes the host of technical problems affecting the project, including poor frame rates, constant crashes, and the map even having several holes that would cause players to fall through.
