* In a "Did You Know Gaming?" type story, former Rockstar Games technical director Obbe Vermeij revealed in a recent blog post that Rockstar's original plans for GTA Vice City was not for it to be an actual game but instead as just a mission pack for GTA 3. Vermeij stated that because Vice City was running on the same engine as GTA 3, it was an easy transition to make it into a full fledged game. Vermeji also revealed that Rockstar also had plans at one point to make a new zombie game that would have been built off of Vice City but was dropped a month into its development in favor of GTA San Andreas instead.
