Within the gritty streets of Los Santos, the place digital gangsters roam and digital drive-bys reign supreme, Rockstar Video games apparently determined that faux thugs simply wouldn’t reduce it for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
In a shocking revelation, former Rockstar developer Lazlow Jones revealed that real-life gang members have been really recruited to document voiceovers for sure characters within the recreation.
“One of many issues that I’m actually happy with is the extent of authenticity that we might go for,” Jones says in an interview with Kinda Humorous Video games. He provides that the corporate would repeatedly fly out to document folks with the accents they wanted, saying: “When you want particular accents or languages, we’d journey to these locations.”
“So the gang members in [GTA: San Andreas], these have been actual gang members that they recruited and to return do voice over. We introduced them into the studio, we confirmed them the scripts they usually have been like ‘We wouldn’t say that, we wouldn’t say that, we’d say this.’”
It occurred so often that the creators ultimately advised them to “simply say what you’ll say.”
Launched in 2004, GTA: San Andreas is the seventh title within the Grand Theft Auto franchise, following 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice Metropolis. It’s the best-selling PlayStation 2 recreation with 17.33 million models offered by 2009.
