Yes I've played it. It wasn't a "living breathing city", it was linear, it didn't have tons of side missions, didn't have great graphics, sound, and story, wasn't funny, didn't have police chases, etc. Still a great game, and you can definately see a crude version of GTA styIe open world, but it was a fairly typical space marine blasts bug aliens game.
Body Harvest is a video game for the Nintendo 64video game console developed byDMA Design (later renamed Rockstar North after the highly successful Grand Theft Auto III).
changing gaming isn't just about coming up with an idea first. it's also about the influence that a game has.sure, body harvest may have used some of the mechanics that made gta3, but gta3 popularized the sandbox genre, and copycat games cite GTA3 as their influence, rather than body harvest. it's sort of like how kill.switch came up with a good cover system, but gears of war changed gaming by influencing game designers to put in cover systems to "be more like gears of war".
How many sandbox games were inspired by GTA3? A lot. How many were inspired by Body Harvest? None. They were made by the same company anyway, Rockstar North, I don't see what your point was supposed to be.

So they were made by the same comapny? So then who cares?
Ok, maybe i gone too far with "kill" (sorry), but Halo surly made PC shooters less popular (at least in US)
...and in terms of shooters i prefere PC too, just look on my card, ofcorse i talking here about first person
using the CoD comparison was stupid. PC shooters have much more depth then console shooters so of corse CoD wont be as popular because they got different target audiences
[QUOTE="ZAGAV3"]Denial. Halo and GTA3 changed gaming in a way no other has done.enterawesome
This man is correct. How many people have even heard of Body Harvest, again? Yup, GTA 3 and Halo changed gaming much more than Super Mario Bros and Metroid.

Yup, GTA 3 and Halo changed gaming much more than Super Mario Bros and Metroid. How has metroid changed gaming? :? Because instead of going right, you can also go left, up, and down.
Halo - what ever shooter it is it atract shooters to consoles and killed PC shooter gameing in US, just look on MW2 sales
GTA3 - first notable full 3D sandbox game (if i'm not mistaken)
your ignorant comment proves you don't, or probably never played shooters on the PC. you probably just stick with your console shooters and dont know any better.
for us PC gamers however, its easy to spot someone who doesn't play PC games, because they make comments such at that.
What part of his comment is ignorant? Are you claiming that Modern Warfare 2 has sold more on the PC than the consoles? :lol:

How has metroid changed gaming? :? Because instead of going right, you can also go left, up, and down. thats a awfull way of describing metroid :P I would say its because its the first game (ive heard of) to have a big map and you gain access to more places in the map as you progress through the game (to those who havent played it think of shadow complex)

If you mean the game that made a 3D city all open for exploration and gave you the sense of being in an actual"living world",that game was Omikron The Nomad Soul.
And,unlike GTA3,you actualy could interact with the people on the streets(well,it´s an adventure/RPG game,so...),enter diners and eat,go to strip clubs(with actual striping inside),pharmacys,libraries and so on...
One of the best games ever made,although only a handfull of people would agree with this statement.
