It's a few days too late to celebrate GTA2's birthday with a re-release, but its never too late to pop open a bottle and celebrate the success of the game and franchise. So far, no more news has come from this strange leak, but it would certainly be neat to see the games make a triumphant return on current/next-gen consoles.

The first three GTA games leaked from the ratings board earlier this year, however instead of being listed as a PS4/Xbox One game, it showed up for the PS3. There have been rumors that the old-school games could see a return, perhaps in the form of a port or remaster. Many would love to see Rockstar bring back some of its old games and franchises, including a top-down focused GTA game.

Rockstar has toyed around with the top-down approach since GTA2, with Chinatown Wars being the prime example. Many still have a soft spot for the old-school gameplay of the GTA series.

The humble beginnings of the original GTA and GTA2 were certainly not without their success, however. The jump to 3D is where the franchise started to see its huge success, as sales for GTA3 septupled over GTA2. GTA2 is a special game in the series, as it is the last mainline game to be played from a top-down perspective, as opposed to full-on 3D.
