Of all the video game series that have made their mark on the industry, few have elicited as many disparate reactions as Grand Theft Auto. To some, the series is the apex of interactive media; the ultimate expression of virtual freedom, and the cathartic chaos that this freedom can result in. To others, it’s one of the biggest smoking guns behind all of the misanthropy and violence present in today’s youth, in addition to being a vile and artless product in its own right.
If there’s one aspect that nearly everyone agrees on, it’s that Grand Theft Auto is among the most successful properties in the history of its medium. In the two decades that it’s graced consoles, handhelds and PCs, the open world series has remained a fixture on most sales charts, with its most recent entry, Grand Theft Auto V, having generated more revenue by itself than most franchises manage over their entire lifetime.
To most gamers today, this thoroughness with which the series currently dominates the industry is as normal as Mario is Italian. Yet to those that have been paying attention to it since its inception, it’s still a mighty impressive feat. For up until the late 2000s, a day didn’t seem to go by where the series wasn’t embroiled in some sort of scandal created by its most egregious detractors - or its very own developers.
This is the history of Grand Theft Auto.

12 year old?!? I’m 26 been playing GTA since first grade FOH
@@junebug9594 yeah... you missed the point.
@@TheDrewker who cares
@@Local_commentor I'll tell you who cares about "Pitudo Gaming"....
Fuckin NOBODY mate.
@RE fan Take it from an American, covid isn't teaching shit. The people who need to learn are just retreating further into their delusions.
still never gets old that parents buy their kids rated M games and blames the developer
The devil made me do it!
Right
Somebody on my Facebook bought this for their 8 year old and then went on a big rant because she couldn't believe the language and violence in it. Wanted to sue them and everything. She then got ripped to shreds in the comment section of the post for obvious reasons. It was beautiful.

When I was 8 my father bough me San Andreas thinking it was a game where you're a cop.
The best mistake he ever made
Lol my dad did the same when I was 6 and in 2008 when I was 8 he did the same with gta IV. Best childhood ever
Wait your parents buy you games?
Maybe he thought he was buying True Crime

drinkin beers and passing the controller round the room to see who could stay alive with 6 stars the longest in college. what a time!
We did the exact same thing. Hours of fun just seeing who could survive.
Now that’s nostalgic
This was my era. Thanks for the nostalgia.
What one was that, GTA 3?
I think that game was the most memorable because it felt like it came outta nowhere.
I saw a short video of it on an Official PlayStation magazine DVD that showed upcoming releases 📀 .
Anyway it looked exactly what you’d want out of a 3D GTA game.
@@CursedWheelieBin Back before the game industry fed us years of hype and promises only to serve up a big nothingburger on release day.
To think we got GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas all within a 4 year period. Now we'll be lucky if we get another GTA game within a decade of GTA V.
Fucking micro transactions bullshit.
the truth tho, modern games are waaaay more complex to make, requires way more people and time to program, and its becoming harder and harder to come up with original ideas for a restricted theme/gameplay. but i understand the point, rockstar is focusing more in milking the cow than actually make GTAV a good game. thank god for modders, since FiveM launched in 2016 i never played gta online again, waaaaaaaaaay more fun in it.
@@drewinsur7321 GTAO gave them a huge financial stability. They can now afford to not release a new game every single year and instead focus on giving their future releases more production value. RDR2 wouldn't have been as gigantic and packed full of content as it was without all the money GTAO is making for Rockstar. Sometimes I think you people would rather have Rockstar follow the Ubisoft approach with the Assasin's Creed franchise and milk the series dry by making annual releases until no one cares about it anymore.
@@ghgtare speaking the truth right here
It is really sad
Watched this entire documentary whilst trying to load into GTA online.
hehehehe fuck the load times
TheRichardZ99 accurate 🤣
@@tylerevans4829 No, not really. It takes anywhere from 3 to 12 minutes to load into Online. If it's longer than 15 minutes, it's better to force close and relaunch the game.
@@Ceelker its a FUCKING JOKE
Whats worse is half the music he used in the video is loading music from GTA 5 xD
The dark themes of GTA IV was fantastic. I remember how absolutely enveloping it was.
Enveloping?..
Tastes and colors are indisputable.To be honest ı found GTA IV kinda dull when ı played it on my Xbox 360,definitely enjoyed San Andreas and V more.People always say that GTA IV was underrated,it’s definitely not by any means.
Great way of bringing back perfect thoughts of nostalgia. Well said.
@@Tutel9528 if you take the story and characters into account then I think GTA IV was as good as GTA SA
I really think the 4th was the height of the series
10 years from now, you can do a history of all 67 GTA 5 releases.

A great way to end 2019.
And the decade
Or start 2020
Gta 6 at ces?
Yeah man I finished gta 5 today and I feel bad cuz this game was a part of this awesome decade and now it’s ending. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I will never forget such an awesome decade and such an awesome game
They could start 2020 with Carmageddon
Blows my mind that GTA V alone went on to make $6 billion in total with $1 billion in just the first 3 days of release!
Imagine once GTA 6 releases
Still making money, shark cards
If they do release GTA VI they will loose their cash cow from GTA V. So they might never release 6.
@this guy We will see.
@@DrexProjects ngl what you said was pretty dumb. Each subsequent release has made them a huge amount of profits.
What makes you think 6 will be any different. Obviously, if it's absolute garbage (unlikely) then yeah, MAYBE, but if that is the case people will fall back to GTA:V:MP...
I remember playing san Andreas complete story 4 times straight when I was in middle school. *Not one time I thought to harm someone*
8 billion ppl live on this planet, you think everybody thinks like you?
@@Dr0cKz do you think 8 billion people play gta? from 100 million that play it less than 1000 actually tried all the shit they've done in gta. get a grip.

I doubt it, more like a legion of script kiddie losers, I've read they are planning on cutting the story side short and focusing on multiplayer so they can squeeze every last penny from the chumps with shark cards. Rockstar has become the same evil corporation that they used to parody

@@aestheticaltwat Nah she did that to herself a trillion times over.
A little disappointing he failed to mention how integral Rockstar adopting the Euphoria physics engine was. Real time physics rendering was one of the bigger sales points for GTA IV sense most games at the time utilized baked dynamic animations in place of a proper physics engine. It was a technical achievement to have this running parallel to such a detailed open world, so much so that it ended up pushing other game makers to go bigger and subsequently launched us into the golden age of gaming.
This is super high quality. Whoever’s decision it was to hire the narrator, kudos to you.
One of the best parts of GTA is that when you break it down, it's just a bunch of Scottish developers with an astute use of satire to take the piss out of the most insipid, shallow parts of Western and more specifically, American culture.

26:10 You can hear the exasperated sound in his voice, "Once again."
The man does have emotion.
The narrator clearly doesn't have a clue what the fuck he's being asked to read. It's really weird and doesn't fit at all.
@@darcgibson5099 Dude are you smoking crack? These videos are good. I find that his delivery is clear, precise and easy to follow while backed by an unbiased investigative view which covers and regards not only the final consumer's point of view but also that of all of those involved in the many phases which culminated into the franchise or game being highlighted in the video, from the very base preset before the beginning of the game project to the projection, development, delivery and so many other phases and aspects of the project are covered in such fine detail as if the only more detailed it could get were if the narrator showed us the backlog for each sprint of the project. But hey maybe that's just me. I'm not on crack though.
It's a digital voice
@@BOOGiNS It has to originate from somehere.
@@BOOGiNS i doubt it is digital tho. Else we would have noticed.
GTA3 was the first gta game i played and it blew my mind as a kid. I thought it was the pinnacle of technological achievement. Vice city and San Andreas were probably the ones i have the most memories of, and GTAV might actually be my most played and favorite game of all time. Adding an online element to an already hectic and over the top little world was what I didn’t even know i needed.
It also arguably destroyed the franchise tbh
There is SAMP san andreas multyplayer bro,you missed on so much...
@@lukabrdar6732 yeah back in the day i couldnt get online from my ps2. xbox 360 was the first console i owned that i could get online with and halo 3 was my introduction to online multiplayer.
GTA4 just touched my soul in places I didn’t know existed, it was just revolutionary.
same here it was my favourite
ikr
Started playing GTA4 for the first time recently. I admit it has some flaws, but its my favorite GTA game and honestly one of my favorite games of all time. I like how interactive and ambitious it was. Some cool features and mechanics are better than V. GTA V feels like the PS3 to PS4 and Xbox360 to Xbox1 console generation leap.
Niko is my favorite character of the entire series, just fantastically dark. Great to have a story about "coming to America"
No way, gta v online won’t make people NOT buy gta 6, everyone that plays gtaV would instantly buy 6.
That and death are the only two constants.
Butters Scotch I mean it’s all about the single player experience but if it was announced to be ONLINE only I wouldn’t buy it, I would be more disappointed... because it’s going to be such a big game yet they can’t do anything with offline...
Jake Pajor don’t fret. Single player is a gta staple. Online may be $$ but single player is here to stay.
Butters Scotch I really hope it is here to stay.
Especially if launched on next gen which is most likely the case. Wouldn’t make sense at all to launch on ps4.
if they do a multi-character story mode again, one of the characters you play should be a cop or detective who is on the case of the other characters
Similar to The Getaway a game on ps2 based in London
SpLiT pErSoNaLiTy maybe if u played as a dirty cop? instead of going against the other characters you are working with them and trying to keep cops from finding out who you really are
@@zaynmalik-kr6xo tbh id play that
That was the plan for mafia 3 i think
I think they should explore leaving the US. Like mimick escobar or chapo. And similar to hot coffee, there ought to be mini games of chopping heads and quartering foes.
Every voice actor u can think of in San andreas
The game
Ice t
Peter fonda
Danny dyer
Samuel l jackson
Ect ect
Everyone was in that game love it
I remember as a kid when me and my
Sudanese cousins would pass
controllers for each death in San
Andreas. Those were the days
Niko talking about the horrors of killing in war when he ran over 5 pedestrians on the way here... oh the irony
Is it Niko or the player tho. You could drive correctly.
Oh the ludo-narrative dissonance
Right. The reason that I played mostly with Trevor in GTA5. My playstyle fits his personality.
I could gladly listen to him read Apple's terms of service.

Came out while I grew up in miami
I love how the game still keeps to the same formula in GTA V. Franklin answering ringing payphones to take Lester's assassination jobs is CLASSIC OG Grand Theft Auto.
I was literally just saying the same thing, adding the stocks (even though stocks aren't new at all) kinda felt modern but then doing assassinations to manipulate stock prices is one of the most classic gta things I can think of lol
GTA 2 is a legend, I didn't understand half of it when I was young but still played it.
Only game in my life that my parents had to have a conference with my uncle when he bought it for my brother and I (we were probably just on the age of being teens). They didn't approve, we had to return it :(
GTA 4 was my favorite. Nico man, Nico. Awesome side characters like Roman. Great NYC map.
I couldn’t stick with it. Driving felt like sliding around on ice.
Every mission felt the same: drive here, and shoot people, escape the cops.
@@CursedWheelieBin
All the problems you've had with the game is because it's ambitious, you need to be proficient cars have mass you know, oh the repetitive missions you've described are only based solely on your whims it's subjective, man. fun is subjective.
hell yeah. easily the best installment
GTA used to have satire that was over the top compared to society, very similar to South Park. Nowadays in the real world, what used to be satire, has become daily life.
sadly that is true
Sadly lol
Honestly it really has become real. Just look at Gina Carano getting fired. Completely nuts. She did nothing wrong.
True enough, sad to say.

Last time I was this early, Rockstar still made story campaign DLC.
Coincidentally, this video goes into why Rockstar doesn't bother making story DLC anymore. It isn't financially viable.
@@ghgtare Which is sad because I want that Charles/Sadie RDR2 DLC. Instead we get shitty online
@@ghgtare Kinda shows the rampant hypocrisy in gaming communities. Most dislike microtransactions and the like... but gobbled up shark cards like they were candy. Granted, not "micro" but they're a very similar concept.
Don't worry. It's Moneystar
you mean never? The last time was GTA 4. RDR 1 had a Zombie addon. GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas had none. Neither did 1 or 2.
I played Vice City when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I didn't have the game and so I would beg my parents to take me to my cousins who had the game in order to play it there.
It was my favourite game and since then I have played SA, IV and V.
I have spent thousands of hours in SA and V (single player, I don't like MP).
GTA is my childhood man. It and Minecraft are the games that made my childhood amazing!
Oh, I was 10 when I first played GTA Vice City at my friends' house.
So I told my parents the game taught money management and business so they could buy it for me.
On the night I finally got to play it, my Dad sat behind me and observed this so-called business management game. As soon as I stepped outside of Ken Rosenberg's office, I killed a hooker and took $10 off of her.
He just went, "that's enough", took the game out of the PS2 and snapped it lmao.
I ended up borrowing the game off of one of my friends and I'd play it when my Dad wasn't home. I didn't have a memory card so I'd constantly start at the beginning of the game. Now that I look back, I nearly beat the entire game in one sitting. I just knew how to speed run the game. I used a lot of cheats too, obviously. Amazing memories tbh.
Vice City is still my favourite. 80s Vibes, Riding the motorbike and carrying a Samurai sword
there's rumors that GTA VI will also be South Florida in the 80s
America:
Guns, murder, violence, drugs: Rated M
Boobs: Rated AO

Oh come on, you can come with better bait then that!! Besides, that's hardly the craziest thing in America.
Europe and Asia:
Banned, banned, and banned!
Gotta love the unfreedom
Jennifer Walters it’s not bait it’s reality. I’m from a different county originally and people there are nowhere near the level of prude people are here; especially with the older generation. Think Beyoncé’s boob flash during the super bowl. Sex is not that icky and uncomfortable to talk about like people in the US make it out to be. Of course there’s crazier things in America I was making a reference to something in the video.
Real Heel Ryan I don’t understand what you’re trying to say? Freedom is not unique to America good sir and everyone values freedom in different ways. Some are better than others. In fact we are number 12 in terms of overall freedom in the world. Not sure how that makes sense give your comment. Ironically all the countries on the list are either in Europe or Asia.

San Andreas was the best and the most revolutionary. Sooo many things from th at game are being used today and have been built on and improved. I loved playing it as a kid and i can still enjoy a full playthrough of it to this day. Shows how much love and passion went into it

@@liamcronin8110 it sucks + its bad
@Ghetto. how old are you? If you’re born past 1995 your opinion means nothing because vice city was the pinnacle of open world gaming when it came out.
3 was by far the most revolutionary. San Andreas and Vice City are the fan favourites, but 3 changed the shape of games

I like how DMA went from making ports of Reflection games, to then having a direct rivalry with them once GTA and Driver blew up.
Only that rivalry would last a mere years before GTA blew sales charts sky high. Driver still stood it's own ground but couldn't hold a candle to any GTAs after San Andreas

Remembering buying GTA 1 in the release Month '97 in a game shop! I read a review in a Magazin and was curious about that "Gangster" game!
We played the Game to death! Since then i bought all GTAs shortly after release!
Truly the prime experience.
The fondest of memories playing GTA 1 way back way.
I remember not being able to mention the name in my house growing up because it was tantamount to profanity. I didn't play my first Grand theft Auto until I was grown.
Good shot kid you got him
I remember reading a tiny segment about it in a magazine with one screenshot and being hyped. The controversy around in the UK was huge, there was some organisation called "Mothers against violent gaming" protesting about it... which didn't actually exist, it was Max Clifford's doing XD. It was also one of the first times gaming in the UK moved away from the advisory ESRB rating system and got rated by the BBFC (who rate films) instead. The BBFC's ratings actually have legal status and they gave GTA an instant 18 rating (it was nowhere near violent or sexy enough to have earned that rating). I played the hell out of the Playstation version but always had to not do missions when my mum or dad came in the room, in case they saw the swearing on the screen.
I only ever remember playing GTA II on my computer. My older brother got it for free somehow and we fell in love with the series. We sadly stopped playing shortly after the release of V.

It’s funny that the most controversial thing about the series today is the fact Rockstar keeps rereleasing GTAV when everyone just wants them to make number 6
With all this time they’ve had I’m hoping they absolutely blow us away with 6’s release. I’m not gunna get my hopes up or make one of those wishlists shits because I don’t wanna overhype it but I still think it’s gunna be one of the better games we’ve seen.

It doesn't work on my iPad version though lol
..And respect is everything

I really enjoyed your review and your video. This was fantastic.
I Played GTA San Andreas on ps2, some years later on PC and recently on my Android (mobile Version is amazin)
Makin' GTA in third person mode was the best decision they ever made
ifuk yourmum Not really though?
@@moneyman64 Go back to primary school please. 2D/3D refer to the number of spatial dimensions in the game, first person and third person refer to the perspective from which a game is played, seeing through the eyes of the character or looking at your character from another angle.
@@moneyman64 You literally respond to a guy who comments that GTA being in third person mode was a good idea by saying it is hard to imagine GTA V being in 2D, implying that it is obvious GTA V is in 3D while that's not even what the guy is talking about. You must obviously be pretty stupid, because a 3D video game can also be in a first person perspective only. So it is very normal for him to comment that it was a good idea that GTA was primarily created to be a 3rd person game. He's talking about the later installments in the series.
@@moneyman64 That's the entire point...the guy means that as soon as Rockstar started making 3D GTA games, they made a great decision by not making it first person but third person. How hard is it to understand that? It's such basic information that I'm kinda amused and surprised you didn't understand this comment in the first place.
No
This is literally better than some documentaries on Netflix. This should be its own series with an HBO deal

I found this video interesting, as I loved how you took me through the entire GTA history. My favorite is GTA 5, but I love to enjoy TH-cam video of GTA VC, GTA SA and so on.
This is so well made! Love it
The metal gear solid cut scene makes no reference to GTA. He says, "What is this, a carjacking?" "This isn't a capital, you know. Its a jungle."
Getting some serious "How It's Made" vibes from his voice.
Such a damn good little "documentary" about Grand Theft Auto. The best of the best. Bravo
It feels so wierd to me that GTA3 came out in 2001. I remember beating that game and loving every min of it. But it feels like it was a lot longer ago than in 2001. I was a sophomore in high school when that game came out, but why do I remember it like it was 8th grade?
Prolly cuz the gameplay made u so ecstatic that u felt like a kid again
gta is something that not everybody can understeand, an entire generation grew up with their stories, and those that really have felt the game, know that there is so much more than the violence, dont read a book by its cover
very true indeed
Based.
Yup my dad got me gta 2 and we had so much fun playing it, eventually we were able to finally get a ps2 and it came with vice city and we played that game for days non stop
It’s not that deep
I grew with GTA 3,VC,San Andrews
Those games are epic with my childhood
The greatest gaming series ever made.
I agree. What is tragic, however is that the more PC the west becomes the less likely 7 or 8 will be made. V or VI might be the last :/
@@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive Yeah well said. I'm afraid that that's going to be the case.
PC culture has been going since twitter and GTA v is still the most profitable single game ever
@@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive I think it will EXACTLY be the opposite, there's so much more to make satire and fun of now than ever, and looking at how red dead 2 was, am pretty sure R* still have a lot of bright years incoming (that if ww3 doesn't happen)
Greatest entertainment product ever made
One that im actually curious about and knew would be too long to research myself. Thank you
that game song in the background literally was on my mind earlier for reasons unknown thats weird i really only listened to his documentary album when i bought it in 04
Love the "phone booths" in earlier games, and the "Jesus Saves" signs
Ah.... The good days. When I was young and I'd sneak my copy of grand theft Auto 4 in my Xbox only for my mom to run over upon hearing the loading screen, and snap the CD in half. Good times when parents thought this game were going to turn us into psychopaths.
Humorously enough, I'm 21 years old and my mom still despises the game, refusing to let us play it at her house, OR play it even around her in my apartment. If I play it she continuously complains or tries to avoid the television altogether.
It's intriguing what media can do to a person's mind.
Don't play games when you have people over.
play the game especially when people are over.
Yep. My mom was 1000% anti-marijuana until she saw on the "news" that it might have medical uses. Now she is open to me smoking weed. I dont trust TV news at all but her generation did and it is very influential, even dangerous...
Clint Davis man we went through the same sht lol still miss the days though. Being an adult SUCKS 😂
Rumble 😂😂😂 your a legend brotha💯🤙
Thank you guys for making this video
What a great documentary. My introduction to GTA was Vice City. I was in high school and played it at a friends house and I was hooked. For GTA 6 I really really want to see them return to Vice City. Imagine that amazing 80s Miami vibe with graphics even better than RDR2 😍
I watched this entire thing not realizing an entire hour has past.
#mealso
SAME
Anwar Abdullah seriously man, same. So interesting and well put.
Seriously tho lol
OMG I watched the whole thing and then scrolled through comments. You just made me realized this video is 1h ! Wow ! XD
I wish you had touched more on how revolutionary the change of the physics engine was. Euphoria was a huge step-up from regular ragdolls in other games as they reacted to getting hit in real-time. Everything else was great.
@Subi_fan everybody keeps reading my mind in the comments the damage physics in gta4 just make your heart melt gta5 was a total let down
It's amazing how Grand Theft Auto I and Grand Theft Auto: London have fallen into obscurity even though ironically this is where it all started.
rockstar is mj in his prime and we're still witnessing it
Sadly rockstar isn’t in their prime anymore. They’ve released 2 games since 2013, both of which were outstanding, but they continue to milk those 2 games (mainly gta 5, which is 8 years old now) for micro-transactions from their online versions. They’re even spending millions of dollars from their budget to “remaster” gta 5 for the new consoles, taking months to even put out a trailer for that, rather than announce their new game or actually remaster gta 4 or the original 3D trilogy. They’ve stopped caring about their fans opinions and started caring only about what can make them the most money.
@@steamboy9538 die a hero or live long enough to become the villain
@@steamboy9538
TBH I see it this way:
R* is becoming increasingly perfectionistic and thus they want to get as close to perfection as possible. But they need to do something while that game is being developed. A source of big cash. And that's why they're milking Online: To have a good source of income. Yes, it's immoral, but I would call it a "The end justifies the means" situation.
Of course, feel free to prove me wrong if they end up never releasing another game.
Don't really agree unfortunately, they're too focused on the online section and Dan Houser and Lazlow both left Rockstar recently.
“whatever happened to pong?”
ohh that got me rolling lool
Also Rockstar: *made a pong game to test their then brand new RAGE engine*
@@MakotoIchinose Out of pure spite, they made a solid tech demo

Yeah that "billions of dollars to raise an army" to "60 bucks to buy a game" comparison infuriated me when I heard it xD
Yeah, me too. It's like, whatever happened to silent movies and moving picture books?
The franchise that brought me into gaming in the first place ;O
Lol for me it was the WWE Smackdown games.
Same as me, also nfs and half life. Those are my first games.
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 we have meet recently on some other youtube video are we?
@@IskenderCaglarM41B441 about gta
Kids....aw bless.
6 will be playing as Trevor when he was young in Canada. Place yer bets!
Grand theft auto is the only reason why I buy new consoles.... whenever they come out with GTA 6 is when I'll buy a new ps5.
Omg me too 😆 am not even a gamer but all I buy is gta nothing else. Just collects dust when gta is fully completed 😂 until the next gta
@@armzhouse9411 usually I'll play it hot and heavy for 3 days until I beat the main story line, then I'll just explore and check out all the hidden stuff and play it once every 6 months or so.
