Speaking of Love Media, WTF happened to Donald between games? It's like David Cross donated his brain to science, and it was transplanted into Donald.

If you can't get MacLachlan back, then don't put him in the prequel. It's that simple.

They changed Toni's voice actor as well. A lot can change in three years (LCS takes place in 98, III takes place in 2001). Don't forget that it was a smaller budget than III.
 
Weird that people are talking about pre-vice city radio, when some of the GTA III song popped into my hear recently.

Frankie Fame - See Through You:

Lucy - Forever:

Tammy Boness & the Swingin' Mammaries - The Diner (GTA2):

You actually don't get to hear the full version of The Diner anywhere in the game, which IMO is more criminal that anything the player can do.

GTA2 has a dozen or so songs that repeat across multiple stations. A big step up from GTA1, but not a whole lot. I think each station plays three songs total.

LIVE FROM THE PLANETARIUM!

Kinda weird: If you study the map which came with the game, certain buildings house each of the radio stations. Even weirder, Tommy is known as the "Harwood Butcher," but Head Radio is the only building there. Unless he killed eleven men on the ferry terminal, before it was demolished.

I think the crusher, gas station, junk yard and auto dealer are part of Harwood. I just always assumed there was a lot more there back in the 60's/70's and it got demolished over time. IIRC the junkyard also features a bunch of abandoned railways.

is GTA dead already? We didn't even get news about their shitty next-gen remaster.

There's recent speculation about the next gen version being $70. I can't believe that only PS5 owners get GTA Online for free for three months and GTAO$ each month until its release. Nothing for Xbox owners, unless you count the rerelease on Game Pass.

The stand outs are "All I Wanna Do",

One of my favorite songs in GTA 2. The other is "My Tiny World" and the theme song for GTA2. GTA 2 has surprisingly good music. That Japanese themed radio station is catchy as well.

I always think GTA 2 is Cyberpunk before Cyberpunk 2077.

Lips 106 in III or LCS don't get enough love. I think most if not all those songs are originals.

Maybe Tommy was ambushed near the crusher. Remember that the mob used Harwood for a couple hits, particularly the crusher.

Right. I think it's cut content: there was a hobo in the tunnel who hands out missions.

You're thinking of Darkel. Supposedly, his original mission location was under the Callahan Bridge.

There is some lore about the tramps in III through the Liberty Tree newspaper.

For as long as people can remember, usually 5 or 6 years after they were born, barring major neurological problems, the hobo has been a much welcomed part of Liberty City life. The old bum, down on his luck with a sad sob story to tell anyone who's going to listen, has gladdened hearts and quickened steps for years. Be it in freezing winter or boiling summer, these happy vagrants know a thing or two about surviving and smiling through the pain. These street folks, buskers, beggars, and bums the lot of them are as much a part of Liberty City life as cross fire or corrupt police officers. And like stray bullets tearing into innocent people and government officials fattening their meager salaries with kick backs and payoffs from the mob and the drug cartels, we've all learned to love them and accept them for what they are; the things which make Liberty City the vibrant, fun-filled place we all know and love. The town that is officially "America's Best Kept Secret" and a darn sight better than Pittsburgh.

Until recently, we all believed that all you had to fear from these street folk was a case of scabies or a nasty smell as they drunk their days away reveling in the pleasures and pains of being someone with no fixed abode. We've all envied their freedom - to do what they want (apart from wash, of course!), which seems to mainly focus on the drinking of moonshine and to say whatever they like to anyone, and assumed this was just the American Dream in all it's majesty. Different strokes for different folks. Until now.

The Liberty Tree can exclusively reveal all is not as it seems in the street communities of Liberty City. These vagrants are not happy and they are not the innocent dipsomaniacs we all once gave them credit for. Oh no. Police reports increasingly point to lunatics on the streets, terrifying innocent people and fighting and demanding justice. But they don't know what's caused this rise in problems between those who have and those who have not, apart from body odor. One theory is that tramps are layabouts who don't deserve any respect anyway, have brought it on themselves and don't deserve any sympathy; and while that theory is very popular in America generally, our EXCLUSIVE investigation reveals darker forces than mere consumer capitalism are at work in our town.

A spate of illegal distilleries have been discovered, pushing an evil filth called 'Boomshine' - a toxic wasteground of a drink so strong it is believed to have driven large portions of Liberty City's homeless community completely insane, with terrifying results.

One respectable person said, "The tramps have gone insane. And they don't even pay taxes! It is a city-wide disgrace!" Another said, "I was walking my dog, and a tramp tried to eat it! Luckily, I kicked the offending vagrant thirty or forty times, so I think he learnt his lesson. I doubt he'll attack an innocent dog again." Here at the Liberty Tree we've received 3 or 4 calls from people with similar stories. All we can say to respectable people is: "Think twice before giving that quarter. These maniacs are out to get all of us!"

GTA2 was originally going to be a full on science fiction game, inspired by Blade Runner, before it was was to be mildly science fiction.

The continuity in GTA 2 is loosely ambiguous. Either it takes place in the near future (2013) or the end of the millennium.

Official description of GTA 2's Anywhere City, USA:

"Modeled on the apocalyptic visions of the future from the 1970s and 1980s, the city for GTA 2 is a fully dysfunctional urban hell. Like all cities, it has a fully international flavor and each different group in the city wants to control something."

Up to you of how you'd interpret the timeline of GTA2.

5 is literally most inclusive GTA to date. Where TF was he when Reni Wassulmaier was handing out missions? Or when that crossdresser shot up a Love Fist signing?

I can do this, too. Hey everyone, Rockstar is bigoted against part-Cherokee singers:
