Ray: We went to a shopping centre in Mississauga and found a shop that just sold Diecast cars. I think some of it eventually worked its way into our vernacular in the office. Nobody questioned it.īlair: We're Canadian, so we had no idea about this whole Cockney rhyming slang thing at first. If you hit the handbrake on the dirt, you got a big brown skid-mark. Ray: I was crazy about Viz magazine, so I was like, "Ah cool, we're doing a London game, we have to have 'dog's eggs' on the sidewalk." I made it so that some of the sidewalk tiles had dog shit on them. I've never been to London, but I feel like I know where everything is. I learned the entire layout of London to get the map right. You had to immerse yourself in this world and see what ideas would spring up. I remember watching Bullet and The Italian Job. It is much shorter in length, and features the same map and characters as London 1969, but takes place eight years prior.Blair: It was our homework to watch old 1960s English movies – anything with a car chase in it, basically – to get a feel. A second, freeware expansion, Grand Theft Auto: London 1961, was released exclusively for personal computers in July 1999, to coincide with the release of the Grand Theft Auto games on the internet. The expansion pack was met with mixed reviews, but won the 1999 BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Award in the "Sound" category.
Like in the main game, players assume the role of a criminal who works for several London-based criminal syndicates, and complete levels by achieving a set score, within an open-world environment that allows them to do whatever they wish alongside jobs to achieve their goal. The expansion adheres to the same gameplay mechanics of the main game and takes place in a fictionalised version of London during the 1960s. It was released for personal computers and the PlayStation in April 1999.
Grand Theft Auto: London 1969 is an expansion pack for the 1997 action-adventure game Grand Theft Auto, developed by Rockstar Canada and published by Rockstar Games.
