Talk:Grand Theft Auto III

This article needs writing
Because at the moment it's literally just reams of copy and paste jobs, referencing games to be released in future tense, when they were actually released six years ago. And that's just the blurb. There's no real information on the game at all. Does anyone have time to write up a proper article?

What's the difference between the French box and German box?
They look exactly the same. Are both photos really necessary? MAINEiac4434 16:25, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Now that you mention it I guess only one of them should be there.--Gta-mysteries 16:30, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Downloadable ver.
Hey, guys it's about a time that Rockstar launched the game on PSN, I don't know if they launched in XBOX LIVE, and I can't edit the template of the infobox, so I'm asking to an admin to add this info.

Thanks!

Top Down VS Third Person
Top down perspective is still a kind of third person perspective. Third person just means outside of the character's perspective. The positioning of the camera is irrelevant. Side scrollers are third person, Crash Bandicoot levels where you run towards the camera instead of away are third person, top down perspective is third person.

As far as that wikipedia quote that was posted, wikipedia is not the arbiter of the english language. ClaudeSpeedFreak (talk) 11:27, December 1, 2015 (UTC)


 * It means viewing from behind. I've told you too many times and I'm getting tired of reverting your edits and telling you. There has to be a term separating above and behind, and the two terms "Third Person" and "Top Down" do this, respectively. Continuing to revert will result in a block.

 * Over the shoulder as opposed to top down. Either way they're both third person perspectives. ClaudeSpeedFreak (talk) 21:20, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

Beta Speculation Cleanup
Could we all take a look at this and remove speculation from this article? The link speaks absolute truth. Monk Talk 20:00, December 1, 2015 (UTC)

Please add, if it won't allow me too, that this game was available for purchase through Steam and through the Playstation Store. :)

Controls
Since the game is implementing GTA V-style controls, will the shooting be easier?

2001 setting - What's the evidence?
Unlike Vice City, San Andreas, etc., no date is given in the beginning of GTA III, so how do we know it takes place in October 2001? Given the events in these other 3D universe games (Salvatore and Catalina being alive, etc.), we can conclude that GTA III is set after them, but why specifically 2001? Is it known from external sources (like Rockstar) or is it mere speculation to match the setting with the date it was released? - Lnobse (talk) 14:04, 12 November 2021 (UTC)


 * See 2001. I personally haven't played too much of III but it might help you out. Jibvander (talk)
