Rockstar co-founder and former lead writer, Dan Houser reveals some interesting details in a new interview: - The iconic GTA box grid design was made in just 2 evenings after 9/11 to avoid controversy, then it became the standard for every title in the series - Trevor wasn’t part of the initial concept in GTA 5 until Dan was working alone in the office late on a Sunday night trying to finish the story synopsis, and the character simply came into his head, as a necessary “yin and yang” to contrast with Michael - He says Ned Luke did an amazing job portraying and embodying Michael - He believes people hated Max Payne 3 and describes his work on the title as a “personal failure,” noting that he was proud of the technical polish but missed the mark on the writing - Bully had a difficult development process, as the team was struggling to define the game’s identity without elements from GTA such as cars and guns - Agent was cancelled after the team concluded that an open-world setting wouldn’t work for a spy game - He says that nobody cared about GTA 3 when they showed it before launch at E3 2001, which was deeply disappointing for the team as Take-Two was on the verge of bankruptcy (Source: youtu.be/HfskoxOZBwU?si=7iJL…)
