Summary
Crime isGrand Theft Auto’swhole M.O.
But a night in jail or even just the hospital washes awayyour murderous sins.
Escaping the police is half the fun of GTA’s no-consequences open world.
But we would’ve been doing a lot more of that had formerRockstar developer Obbe Vermeijhad his way.
But this idea was quickly scrapped because it “was not popular with the team.”
During GTA 3, I gave players a one star wanted level for running red lights.
This was not popular with the team.
I quickly removed it.
It’s a fun idea in theory.
Some games of that era did punish you for running red lights, however, like Driver andMafia.
But Vermeij argues that it suits Mafia more since “That game was a bit more slow paced.”
This is why, even if the light was knocked over, cars still obeyed the light.
Map artists just placed the light, ran the game, and it all worked no extra setup needed.
Simple, but it still worked this way in [GTA 4]."
