YellowCar69 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I've heard that Rockstar cut some missions from GTA 3 after the attacks of september 11 but, this mission looks like one of those they said they removed. Or was it just a rumor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tiger~ Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Or was it just a rumor? Partly that and partly true. The mission script was changed and so the mission was left in the game. Originally, the mission objective was to kill civilian NPC pedestrians using a bomb in an ice cream van, but was changed to Gang Member targets after 9/11.

They didn't change much eh, i also saw in the skyline of the city two planes flying near the buldings, or so it looks from here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tiger~ Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 They didn't change much eh, They changed a few little things, cut characters and tweaked the storyline. Not particularly because of 9/11. They just thought that at times, the game was too dark and edgy so they reigned it in a little. YellowCar69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helegad Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) They didn't change much eh, They changed a few little things, cut characters and tweaked the storyline. Not particularly because of 9/11. They just thought that at times, the game was too dark and edgy so they reigned it in a little. They had a space of about five weeks from the attacks to release. For two of those, IIRC, no employees could even get to the offices to work on the game because it was in close-enough proximity to WTC. Darkel was not removed because of 9/11, he just became a useless character as his missions were repeatedly scrapped or given away, much like I Scream, You Scream, so they just got rid of him altogether. The police car liveries were changed so they didn't bear as much resemblance to NYPD units who were busy saving people from the rubble and whatnot; I guess it just felt wholly inappropriate to be putting out a game that basically glorifies killing police en-masse while those poor bastards were collecting real limbs off of real sidewalks. I think the only other things 9/11 changed was a few voice lines were removed plus one mission, but nobody knows which it was, and it most definitely was not a mission involving flying and crashing the Dodo into Love Media (that's a f*cking annoying rumor).

~Tiger~ Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Darkel was not removed because of 9/11 Nobody said he was. If you read my post properly you would see that I stated clearly that the changes were made "Not particularly because of 9/11." I have removed your provocative comment, please don't do that again.
