New leaks of some Rockstar files have revealed that the famous studio Rockstar North worked on the GTA Online game for a period after the launch of GTA 3. It was a competitive game with several ambitious systems, including a complete reputation system, a complex economic system, and several maps. However, the project’s ambition and the ideas that the studio had were not comfortably implementable on the PS2 platform, which made the developer cancel the project at the time, or postpone it to be more precise.
The next game the studio worked on was Bully. A game similar to GTA in some of its ideas but set in a boarding school and the surrounding area.
