History

The Grand Theft Auto series is considered by Rockstar Games to be split into separate fictional universes, named after the primary level of graphics capability used in each era. The original Grand Theft Auto, its expansions and its sequel are considered the "2D universe". Grand Theft Auto III and its prequels are considered the "3D universe". Grand Theft Auto IV, its expansions and Grand Theft Auto V are considered the "High-definition universe". Each universe is considered separate, with only brands and background characters shared between them.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “Indeed, the Englishman’s history of New England commences only when it ceases to be New France.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    “As I am, so shall I associate, and so shall I act; Caesar’s history will paint out Caesar.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
