That’s dope as hell, and my personal favorite of the 3D GTAs. I still remember the general layout of the city without looking at a map, over twenty years later. I actually probably put more time into this game than any of the follow ups.
My friends and I used to look for little pieces of the map that would send our cars flying and spinning, because that kind of stuff racked up “points” that paid out as cash money to spend in the game. Endless hours just driving as fast as possible and trying to flip the car in the air as many times as possible.
It was such a pioneer for the series, going from 2D to 3D, one of the best transitions ever made for that type of game. Up there with Mario 64 in terms of success of translation of key elements of gameplay from one type of media to the next.
I’ve been wanting a PinePhone for a while for experimenting with, and I keep seeing super cool stuff like this being done with them!
Note that the article is an auto-generated comparison. In my opinion these two cars aren’t really comparable and are only kind of similar in terms of looks and dimensions. Everything else is pretty different. The volvo is about twice as heavy and up to three times as powerful depending on configuration and is available with allwheel drive vs just frontwheel drive fir the Dacia and far more luxurious. They appeal to a completely different class of cutomers.
Yeah, there are lots of manufacturers like that. They typically start out as an overseas factory producing the main manufacturer’s cars, then the factory expands into producing its own cars alongside.
