Summary
- One of the coolest small details in Grand Theft Auto 3 was the litter that would blow in the wind, but the feature never made the leap into San Andreas.
- Former Rockstar developer Obbe Vermeij has revealed there was a good reason for this, as people on the team didn't like it and there were concerns about potential rendering issues.

GTA 6 Is Everything Wrong With The 𝕴Industry
Ga📖mes need to wind down in scope, not blow up to such unbelievable levels as to turn singleplayer games into ever-expanding live-service worlds.
One of these small details in Grand Theft Auto 3 was the litter that was scattered across the streets in various locations. On its own, it's not that impressive, but what made GTA 3's litter special is that it would blow in the wind and shift around when cars drive by, which is a very pointless detail that is typical of the Rockstar-esque flexing we see even in its modern games. You'd think that the feature would have been used in future games, but the streets of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas are squeaky clean.
Turns out that there's a good reason for this, and it's not just because there are fewer litterbugs in San Andreas than there are in Liberty City. Former Rockstar developer Obbe Vermeij has been revealing development secrets about the series for the past few months, explaining why GTA 3 didn't have working planes, why they'd constantly crash around CJ in San Andreas, and how GTA 4's depressing tone ended up convincing him to leave the studio.
GTA: San Andreas Didn't Have GTA 3's Moving Litter Due To Rendering Concerns
In a new tweet by Vermeij earlier this week, it's explained he intended to include GTA 3's moving litter in San Andreas, . Vermeij doesn't go into great detail about why certain people at Rockstar didn't like the feature, but he does explain that one of the biggest concerns around it was , as the litter was made up of "immediate mode polygons" that could be slow to render.
Vermeij explains that he eventually "lost the argument" and had to remove the litter from San Andreas, but he did manage to sneak it into Manhunt, Rockstar's infamously brutal stealth game that launched in 2003. This is because some of the staff that were working on GTA were moved onto Manhunt during the last few months of development, during which Vermeij added the code. Now that's a level of sneaky that you can only admire.
