Good times.
Aaron Nelson
I kinda want to start making a GTA2 type game, only with more modern controls. On foot it would control like a twin stick shooter
Angel Rivera
>Daily reminder that GTA 2 was a Cyberpunk game.
That was when Rockstar used to be cool and creative and not a bunch of greedy fucks.
David Wright
What is cyberpunk about it? It's just futuristic

>Good times.
If your dad brought you MMx6 instead you probably wouldn't be saying that.

Leo Roberts
I would kill for a modern GTA with 2's cyberpunk aesthetics
Robert Gutierrez
I can't get more cyberpunk than this.
Logan Wright
I love it, it's like the not so distant future but with old time cars thrown in
Luke Hughes
It’s a bit more than 20 minutes into the future.
Kevin Cook
In GTA 2 rockstar really did a lot work in the old/futuristic models of cars.
Ethan Hughes
None of that was in the cutscenes though.
Leo Ramirez

Jace Hall
there was a callback to this in GTA III where some guy who runs a dog food company pays you to bring in some double-crossers to be turned into mince meat.

I remember watching my dad playing this when I was a kid, I was probably like 8 or 9 years old. I dunno what it was, but for some reason, everything about this game made me laugh so hard. People being hit by cars, or screaming "Maniac!" put me into uncontrollable fits of laughter. It was so entertaining to watch him play that it never occurred to me to try playing it for myself.
One day >dad's playing, I'm watching >dad's phone rings >he hands the controller over to me for the first time >I have no idea what any of the buttons do >start pressing buttons randomly >suddenly hear a random fart >I freeze in place >what the hell was that? >I start pressing buttons again >hear another fart >my ass cheeks clench shut >I press the button again >fart.flac >I feel a big shit eating grin creep across my face >start pressing the fart button furiously >game is burping and farting with reckless abandon >uncontrollable laughter erupts from my body >each passing second increases the intensity of my laughter >my abs feel like they're about to explode out of my stomach >I'm fucking howling with laughter, my head hurts so bad >dad walks into the room just in time to witness my sides dematerialize from my body and transport into another plane of existence
I am now 30 years old, and still nothing else in my life has made me laugh as hard as discovering the fart button on GTA2.
Evan Morgan
I only ever was able to finish lvl 1 and only using the hidden tank because I didn't speak English well enough to know what to do with the missions.
Lincoln Martin
>I am now 30 years old, and still nothing else in my life has made me laugh as hard as discovering the fart button on GTA2. I love telling people that didn't play GTA2 that there is a dedicated fart button.
Well, the cutscenes were to set the mood of the gang life and whatnot.
But the game itself has this 'retrofuturistic' setting at a limbo in time where everything is slightly futuristic but the vehicles and machinery are repurposed vehicles from the 60s, which is ironically what happened to a lot of sportscars in the new millennium with the resurgence of muscle car styling.
That's why you saw off the wall shit for powerups like invisibility, invulnerability, and electric fingers. The weird sidewalk patterns in level 2, etc.
Aaron Wood
>We will never have the pleasure to play a GTA style of game with a cyberpunk vibe.
It's so refreshing going back to old GTA after playing IV and V. When the world was actually rewarding to explore and before Rockstar's charming humor transformed into an endless barrage of snarky cynicism and witless parody.
Eli Stewart
Yes. And they werent just passengers. They were rival gang members. And then you turned then into hotdogs and sold them to the other gang.
Gta2 is still my favorite. I member when my dad brought me to target to go buy it and a crystal ps1 controller. Goodtimes.
Dylan Brooks
this game's too fuckin hard
do you actually have to reach the target score to beat an area or can you just beat all the missions?
i wish rockstar went back to GTA2's aesthetic, perhaps as a DLC or something.
Jaxson Cooper
GTA 2 is and will always be my favorite in the series. This game is pure creativity and the humor is just top notch. I remember saving enough dosh to get a ps1 and gta2 just to discover that the ps1 version felt like dumbed down compared to the PC one. Played the shit out of that fucker anyway. Where did it all go so wrong?
Tyler Walker
In the PS1 version they were rival gang members, but in the PC version they were inocent bystanders who were crying for their lives.They were even naked and some of them tried to escape only to get shot by the russian mobsters.
Jackson Wood
is that niko bellic
Michael Sanders
Neat. I wonder if its like that on the dreamcast version. I have it but havent played it much at all
Parker Baker
THERE'S NO NEWS TODAY BECAUSE BECAUSE FUNAMI FM HAS NEW COMPUTER AND EVERYONE LIKE TO PLAY GAME
Charles Torres
that and there's literally an evil japanese megacorp that owns everything
Lincoln Adams
It really looks like him, even the clothes and hair style.
Owen Jones
At 2:55 did the music quality improve like the vehicle picked up the radio station as HD? Because that's pretty cool
Noah Gutierrez
Too bad that was only seen in the concept art. The game itself is very shy about its cyberpunk style.
Zachary Wilson
I understand his sentiment. In retrospect, the 90's was full of obnoxious, mall anarchist edgy nonsense. That said, a good game is still a good game. I did enjoy the hell out of Quarantine.
Joseph Gray
yup, there's radio towers in the game i think
Sebastian Sullivan
Well my old man show me Carmageddon and we had tons of fun with that game, but the hot dog homicidal mission was too sadistic and cruel to his taste.
Mason Campbell
You know GTA 2 and 3 were good because they had drum & bass
Fucking TECHNOLOGY in old video games is so cool and subtle at the same time.
Kevin Sanchez
these guys were in GTA3 and LCS and they had good songs there
Isaac Wood
I played this game so much as a kid that I still remember where the tank is in the first two levels.
Dylan Evans
Best car
Ryder Bell
I still play that game cause it's just so fun I remember the first time I got to $1m and went to the next area on my PSX It had a great soundtrack that got me into DnB Had a good accompanying movie too youtube.com/watch?v=g5lKEGYAmME
Carter Garcia
You get more than target score by beating all missions.
Liam Gutierrez
even if you keep getting busted and losing your multiplier?
Brandon Jackson
I wish GTA1 had camera of GTA2. The shakiness literally makes me sick and I can't play it. I'm surprised I could play 1 and London so much without getting sick.
Joseph Davis
Not sure, I usually save scummed after getting high multipliers. >Damnation! No donation, no salvation!
Christian Howard
holy shit i'm so glad i'm not the only one
GTA1's janky camera almost made me puke once. i literally never got motion sickness in a video game until i played that.
Jeremiah Kelly
I really hope GTA VI is cyberpunk Detroit or some shit. Vice city would be too predictable
