Grand Theft Auto III
During interviews to mark the 10th anniversary of the release of "Grand Theft Auto III", producer of the "Street Fighter" series, Yoshinori Ono, said "It would be no exaggeration to say that "Grand Theft Auto III" changed the industry, and we can basically separate the time before and after its emergence as distinct eras." In the same article Bethesda studios director, Todd Howard, said "The mark of a truly great game is how many people try to recapture or emulate it and fail. There's a long line behind this one."
