20 Mind-Blowing Things You Didn't Know About Grand Theft Auto 3
10. Claude Looks Different In The Opening Cutscene From The Rest Of The Game
Did you know that while he still looks very similar, the in-game model of Claude shown in the game's original opening cutscene is actually subtly different from how he appears in the rest of the game?
The Claude model which stages the bank robbery and gets shot by Catalina is much more smooth-skinned and baby-faced than the hard-faced Claude in the rest of the game, and he has subtle colour changes to his jacket and trousers too.
The exact reason for why this is the case has never been revealed, but it seems most likely that the opening cutscene was done well before the completion of the game. The model you can see in this cutscene is actually very reminiscent of several screenshots released around E3, and it's not hard to believe that Rockstar just forgot to change the model or figured nobody would spot it anyway.
Catalina's model in the opening cutscene also has noticeably different textures too if you look real close!
