Well, I can't talk about the market as a whole as I wasn't too interested into that at the time. But at least my friends played GTA 3 for years and only stopped once San Andreas released. We only had a few ones who liked Vice City. But most people kept playing GTA 3. Except for my pour soul who didn't have a PS2 or a proper gaming PC so I had to stick to True Crime on Gamecube, lol. Anyway, nobody but me cared about that game, which is why I had the impression the game was kinda overlooked. It's absolutely possible that I got the wrong idea though. |
Yeah, it is quite overlooked, though I'm not sure about being overshadowed by some other release.
Mario Kart Double Dash did release few days later, Beyond Good and Evil and Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando few days after that, but not so sure that had much influence.
GTA-esque games generally tend to be overlooked by wider gaming audience, which is a shame, since I find a lot of them to actually be better than actual GTA.
Have you played Sleeping Dogs, which was originally to be True Crime: Hong Kong?
