Grand Theft Auto: Industry Perspectives

by Kiven on May 2nd, 2008

Gamesindustry.biz has an interesting feature up regarding the Grand Theft Auto series:

What did opportunistic politicians, fear-mongering media types and ambulance-chasing attorneys have to target before Grand Theft Auto? Oh, that’s right - they had Mortal Kombat, Night Trap and Carmageddon. But Grand Theft Auto has become so ingrained into popular culture - and into the ongoing debate over videogames and violence - that it is hard to remember when the controversial franchise wasn’t with us.

The series certainly has come a long way since it debuted in 1998. Ten years and 70 million units later, the game is making its first appearance on the current generation of game consoles and is almost assuredly going to be one of the top-selling games of 2008 in spite of - or perhaps partly because of - its controversial nature.

We asked a cross-section of games industry professionals to share their thoughts on one of the most popular videogame franchises of all time.
