More details on what the co-founder said about the GTA III

The interviewer asks Jamie about the GTA III success and here’s what he asked “How did that success affect you and your life” To which, here’s what the co-founder replied,

“I mean it was great, in the sense that there was tremendous validation with GTA III because we’ve been grinding on GTA I, London, 2 and we weren’t really like crossing it over and it wasn’t resonating the was GTA III did. The day after the GTA III came out, we had to make vice city in a year. We had to help Remedy and 3D Realms and finish Max Payne, which is also like an amazing game that I got to work on. From the vibe and the bullet time and the noir and the snow.”  

It looks like GTA III was one of the biggest successes for the developers as well. Because they finally achieved that validation, after years of hard work that they all have put in GTA I, London, and GTA 2.
