More specifically, the “you” in this case is Claude, the wordless protagonist of the game. “You,” in this instance, is the person playing Grand Theft Auto III, the game that inspired equal parts awe and ire upon its release 20 years ago today. You steal another car and finish the race. During the race, your car bounces off concrete barriers, other cars, and the occasional pedestrian, and eventually catches fire.

You’re directed to the start of a street race, and you are not given the choice to opt out. You’re tearing through the streets, and you pass a ringing pay phone. “What the dealio?” offers the driver as he’s being flung out of said car-the funniest possible reaction to being violently ripped from your vehicle in broad daylight. You need to get around, so you steal a car. Twenty years later, we’re taking a look at its legacy while we wait for the upcoming GTA trilogy remaster, prepare to purchase yet another version of GTA V, and read rumors about the still-unannounced GTA VI.

'Hey good buddy watch it!' Maybe they will add a friendly character like him, instead of pissed off New Yorkers. You remember the guy with the long greasy hair, who says stuff like 'Bloody americans' when you walk into him, and 'Oi! Move 'yer bloomin' arse!' When you get in the way of their vehicle lol.Īnd I really liked the random chinese ped from San Andreas, the guy who kept calling CJ 'buddy', even when you bumped into him. I think there will be lots of foreign peeps, like Irish (cause of the Steinway Beer Gardens), and alot of Russians and such.īut out of all, I really hope there is a return of the english peds from San Andreas. Besides the gang members, cause we all know they're in.

Yoooo, so what types of pedestrians do you peeps think will be in GTA IV, or hope are in GTA IV.

Gta iv pedestrian grab onto cars
