In arecent interview with Rob Fury, Steven Ogg, Ned Luke, and Solo answered some questions and shared some memories from their time working onGrand Theft Auto 5. During the interview, Ned Luke lamented that Rockstar “had that behind-the-scenes camera going the whole time, but they never did anything with it.” Steven Ogg agreed with his sentiment, noting that they were told that the company was going to use the footage for a documentary of thedevelopment ofGTA 5.
