It would appear that RockStar has decided to go for the 3D approach for Grand Theft Auto 3, releasing two new screenshots of the new title, due for release in the fourth quarter of this year.
Rated BBFC18, the Grand Theft Auto series from RockStar Games has pulled no punches. Money, drugs and guns was all that was on the menu in this top-down car-jack-a-thon, and you loved it. The series was successful but not as successful as say, the Driver series, a similar game coming with the ill-fitting moral mask of working as an undercover detective, in 3D.
The images can be found on RockStar’s website in the form of a bullish mock news story, containing things like: “Meanwhile, although 15 people have been killed in auto-related assaults in the last six months, at least 3 of those were the assailants themselves, teaching those hapless hooligans a thing or two about flat-lining! Although the police are officially against vigilantism, with Police Chief Jim Ramirez, commenting "People shouldn't threaten crazed psychopaths with violence. 99% of people are killed by their own weapon. Especially in suicide cases", unofficially, police are thought to be encouraging the brave few to have a go against the forces of darkness.”
Never shy of media attention, RockStar look to be going for an all out bloodbath approach to the GTA game, due for release on PC and PlayStation 2.
