Platform Nation: It’s no secret now that Rockstar Games usually draws inspiration or at least pays some homage to classic movies in its products. Either as a general theme of the game or through specific callbacks, the beat-of-their-own-drum developers have a penchant for showing off the breadth of their cinematic interests.
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.
