He was being paranoid. He kept looking up through the windshield and looking up through the sun roof because he was trying to make sure he wasn't being watched by helicopter. Since they were tracking the van he took before he grabbed that BMW. I think that scene of him acting paranoid like that in the car was inspired by a similar scene from Goodfellas.
Nah. Apparently they complained about how much hassle it was to make this. Because they had no permit to film and they were getting kicked out of most places anyways making it a pain in the ass to film this. So they said they'd never so something like this again.
I recently started playing this, and if you read the character bios, it makes this basically R*'s most psychologically messed up game next to Manhunt. Look up Trey Welsh's biography for example, and just the lengths these gangs will go to to attack each other: cloning, designer drugs running rampant, human sacrifice and cannibalism akin to Soylent Green, it's like a Philip K Dick novel. Truly dystopian. GTA has never been this dark since. They should make a GTA: Carcer City! With melee controls like The Warriors and tons of gangs.
Yeah it was was darker actually than the ones that followed. If you notice in this movie, there's some dude who works as a janitor at the Zaibatsu corporation, but when they need an assassin, they activate the guy by whispering a trigger word to him, he's like a hypnotozed sleeper assassin. Mind control, MK ultra style. Probably believes he's just a janitor. That's pretty dark right there
@@taylorwhite254 nice catch dude 🧐 The thing that weirds me the most about Zaibatsu is its similarity to the tyrannical pharmaceutical and technocracy of today. They have a monopoly on everything, even human consciousness, it seems.
@@mikeydashank3897 yep, they have their fingers in every pie in every district. They're involved in some weird stuff. They influenced me for sure when I was a kid. I always wanted a fancy black car with the big Z on top. Still think it would be kinda cool. I figured z types would be like black BMW Z3's or something
So true. GTA 2 was pretty dark. Looking back now I agree. Sadly, I feel its dark edgy side went over alot of people heads since it was filled with alot of comedic elements even dark comedy. Don't forget the funny radio stations which were comedic gold! Plus, the game pretty much presented itself as something that couldn't take itself seriously. The darkest moment for me was when the Russia Mafia asks you (the player) to kidnap people and bring them to a factory to turn them into Hot Dogs so that their comrades can eat. Sick! I feel GTA 4 is the darkest of the series along with some moments of GTA Liberty City Stories. I wish there was a remake of GTA 2. It could be ALOT of fun.
There was an Irish mob boss years ago who used to carry out gangland hits himself as boss: PJ "The Psycho" Judge. Well known for how extremely volatile he was and for his ruthless control of the drug trade in Dublin for years. Buried one of his soldiers alive for skimming profits. Killed by the IRA in the 1990s. Believed to have been planned by his protogé, Martin "Marlo" Hyland, who was killed in his bed in 2006.
I remember as a kid I saw this and was blown away by it. I thought that this short film was actually a highlight reel for a GTA film and that the game was some kind of adaptation😆 I looked for that film for years until I learned I had it all wrong 😭
The person who plays Claude in this is Scott Maslen. He is known in the UK for being part of a long running soap called Eastenders. Known as ''Jack Branning''
It's wierd looking at this so many decades later and realising that the main game have nothing in common with this movie as it was set in retro futuristic 60s and it has amazing feel to it
I still remember the intro like it came out yesterday! I never had GTA2 but my cousin did and we used to live in the same building and we played it together. I prefer the 3D GTA but the top down games of the series were fun too!
If you take a look, Claude actually starts to show concern as he looks up from inside of the car after consuming the meds. This is him realising we are seeing what he’s doing from above. Good job rockstar 👍
they are sorta good but very primitive on the controls and viewpoint...However, let them be remade just like Chinatown wars and they are going to be amazing. i'm sure of it.
I wasn't even born when gta 2 dropped but something just keeps me coming back watch this video, i feel like there is something that 2d universe have that is absent in other gta games
In the movie he looks like Claude from GTA 3 (that's very similar with Elvis Presley), in the concept arts he looks like Niko Bellic, in the gameplay he just looks like an biker gang member. Ps: I love Claude, I really like the 2D Universe, this mini movie is just a masterpiece, thank for ramastered.
I was obsess with this game back then. I watch these videos a lot. I like the actor for Claude Speed. After all, I watch him in The Bill and EastEnders.
At the time, Rockstar made a deal with a British record label to use songs from their artists for GTA 2 (including the songs used in this short film) and so this movie was included as a bonus feature on sample CDs from the record label. I think it was also available to download on Rockstar’s website at the time
No , no murió es como cuando está en una partida y mueres osea es como que murió pero reapareció o no es canon recrea el juego nomas pero la muerte de Claude es solo una muerte más que puede haber sufrido cualquier jugador de GTA
Damn the graphics in 1999 feels so real
i love 1999.

I love when Claude is tweaking tf out in his car popping pills and fidgeting with the buttons and stuff 🤣

You cinematography is really well done that you can piece the story all on your own.
Although This Was A Very Short Movie Is Better Than Any Other Movies Because Is Saves Time, It Almost Felt Like A Movie Trailer Than An Actual Movie.
the extended scenes, i don't remember them, where they played when going through the game? i only remember the choppy intro

That supposed to be the real Claude form gta 3?
No that's a diffrent claude, this one talks.
Also gta 2 takes place in 2013 (a futuristic city)
Thats another universe than 3d universe (GTA 3 - Vice City stories) and hd universe (GTA 4 - GTA 6)

Oh this is great, it used to be that you could only find really low quality versions of this. Very cool.
