Dealspwn: The BBC recently aired a film of theirs called The Gamechangers. This 'factual drama' aimed to tell the story about Grand Theft Auto and the controversy surrounding the series around the release of San Andreas. Daniel Radcliffe starred as one of the game's creators, Sam Houser, and Bill Paxton played the infamous Jack Thompson, the lawyer hellbent on suing Rockstar and destroying the game.
Rockstar Games' The Warriors tie-in game and Bully almost landed on Nintendo handhelds, but the GTA 6 devs never got them off the ground.
What's wrong with porting 2 classics to the Switch? Bully is a decent game I know nothing about the Warriors. I own LA Noire on the Switch would have grabbed the GTA trilogy if it wasn't a steaming pile of shit.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Former Rockstar Games Technical Director Obbe Vermeij has finally revealed why some planes would randomly crash in GTA: San Andreas.
This fly by feature was on the cutting room floor due to the random plane crashes and it's one of those things I'm so thankful made it into the final version as these random fly by and crashes make the world seem more alive on the extremely limited PS2 hardware you needed everything you could possibly get in a open world to convey that feeling.
And accross hundreds of hours of gameplay I probably died around 3 times as a result of these fly by failures but I loved every time it happened
It made the world feel more human, and honestly kinda insane that even today with all these open world games, almost no one can capture that like R* even when compared to their ps2 games
Lol, I remember those. I vaguely remember dying from one crashing into my car once too.
Why do I get the feeling this is filmed in england with mostly english actors... Despite the fact that the game is scottish, typical bbc.
Gptta love the BBC.
I am watching it right now. Not bad, i am just here for Daniel Radcliffe though.
May not be the greatest 'documentary' however props to the beeb for making a gaming related documentary in the first place it's quite rare (in the UK at least) that a gaming related documentary makes it into 'mainstream' television. Here's to more and better gaming docs in the future.
I don't understand how they got Harry Potter to do this movie.
