GTA Online has become one of Rockstar’s most ambitious projects as the product of ideas developed for years and is still pursuing millions.
GTA Online Today, it offers a world where millions of players still cannot give up. However, the foundations of this gigantic online chaos emerged as an idea that Rockstar had dreamed of since the first GTA games but had to postpone technical difficulties. The 20 -year evolution of GTA Online until it becomes today’s state is very curious for players.
The foundations of the GTA Online idea were laid in the 90s
According to Rockstar’s former developers Obbe Vermeij, the idea of adding a online multiplayer building to the GTA universe was on the table with its first GTA games. Multiplayer experience at GTA 1 and 2 LAN has been done, and these trials did not fully succeed due to synchronization problems. At that time, all the data of the game had to synchronize perfectly, which was a serious obstacle for the computers of that time.
During the GTA 3 period, the team began to work on a simple death match mode prototype. The players could kill each other in the city and drag them from the vehicles, and they were reborn at any point. However, lobbying infrastructure and network scenarios were required to fully work. This plan was once again shelved due to time restriction.
Some preparations were made for online mode in Vice City. Even Rockstar even hired new network programmers. But the intense calendar did not make the continuation of the project possible. During the San Andreas period, online plans were completely released and a limited local CO-O mode was added instead. However, this option was not enough to offer the multiplayer experience that the players expected.
Following all these experiences and experiences, GTA 4 was the game in which Rockstar took the most concrete step in online mode. Thanks to the full -time programmers and designers, the GTA universe has finally gained a modern multiplayer structure. However, the real explosion was experienced thanks to GTA 5, which came with GTA 5. This time, Rockstar managed to reach the millions of online GTA chaos, which he dreamed of by offering unlimited content and a constantly expanding world.
