GTA 6 is taking us back to Vice City - or at least a new, modernized version - and it's bound to be epochal. But despite the warm weather of Rockstar's take on Miami, and the enormous size and scale of San Andreas, Liberty City remains the developer's greatest architectural achievement. In Grand Theft Auto 4, it's a dense, living and breathing metropolis. In GTA 3, it's more of a playground - Portland, Staunton Island, and Shoreside Vale are filled with opportunities for criminal mischief and cartoon violence. But there's one key feature that makes your journey through Liberty City feel more thrilling. If you remember Grand Theft Auto 3 for its cinematic car chases, one former Rockstar developer explains the trick behind their creation.
