Video: The messy development of DMA Design's Grand Theft Auto

With Grand Theft Auto V about to launch, the team behind the original controversial 1997 release has given some insight into what a mess development on the first GTA was. Talking to the Guardian, developers, artists and sound engineers previously from DMA Design discuss how the game was under constant threat of cancellation, and how the game was being altered all the way up until the very last week before release. Once you've watched the above video, it's worth reading this interview on Gamasutra with developer Gary Penn, who worked on GTA at DMA Design, and who shares plenty of added details regarding the game's development.
