Någon som vet varför Rockstar "aldrig" medverkar där?
Det verkar mest bero på soppan som blev efter "Hot coffee" och där Rockstar höll fast vid att det bara var en mod och att det inte fanns i spelet. Men det skulle visa sig efteråt att det faktiskt fanns i spelet och att Rockstar ljugit. Sen dess har dom inte visat sig där.
Men det kan också handla om det svala mottagandet som Rockstar fick när dom presenterade GTA III.
Dan Houser:
"And then, the early part of showing people the game--including E3 2001--was disconcerting because it was incredibly underwhelming. Because we thought it could be magical. Not the Holy Grail, but this thing that was 3D but open and expansive, combining elements of hardcore action, driving, adventuring--all these genres. Very cinematic and story-driven gameplay, this experience that's really unlike anything you've seen before. And people were scratching their heads around it! We were all, "Are we wrong?"
There was enormous excitement around a few other games coming that fall. We went to E3 and everyone was obsessed by State of Emergency, and no one gave a crap really about GTA III. State of Emergency we thought was interesting, but not without its flaws--some of which never got resolved. But GTA III was already running, and we thought, "This is amazing!" But E3, I think, isn't the best place to show a game anyway, and that's definitely become solidified in our thinking since then."
