Design documents for early Grand Theft Auto titles, including San Andreas, Advance, and Vice City Stories, have recently leaked online. Among the files is information about a previously unreleased multiplayer mode for Grand Theft Auto 3. The documents detail the project's core mechanics.
According to the leak, this planned GTA 3 multiplayer mode would have allowed players to customize their characters, join different gangs, earn reputation to climb the ranks, play as police officers, organize heists, communicate using voice and text chat, and listen to in-game radio, among other features.
