As a mockery of ''DRIV3R'', GTA San Andreas included a mission where, while [[Madd Dogg's Rhymes|breaking into]] [[Madd Dogg]]'s [[Madd Dogg's Crib|mansion]], there is a man playing a video game and making fun of the way the main character walks (Tanner's walking animations were often criticized) and asking how "Refractions" (A spoof of Reflections Interactive, the designers of the ''Driver ''Series) could "mess up so bad". | As a mockery of ''DRIV3R'', GTA San Andreas included a mission where, while [[Madd Dogg's Rhymes|breaking into]] [[Madd Dogg]]'s [[Madd Dogg's Crib|mansion]], there is a man playing a video game and making fun of the way the main character walks (Tanner's walking animations were often criticized) and asking how "Refractions" (A spoof of Reflections Interactive, the designers of the ''Driver ''Series) could "mess up so bad". | ||
Luxoflux, makers of ''True Crime: Streets of L.A.'', also responded by putting up billboards in their game mocking the Rockstar Games logo used to advertise jockstraps around Los Angeles, California. In response to the "Jockstrap" billboard, another ''San Andreas'' Easter egg mocks ''True Crime'', which was depicted on several billboards in the city of [[Los Santos]] as "True Grime". This is also evident in the "TRUEGRIME" vehicle cheat code in ''San Andreas'' that spawns a garbage truck on input, mocking ''True Crime''. [[Home Invasion|One mission]] features Ryder, before entering and robbing a house, crying "Yeah, yeah, we gotta do it ninja style.", a coin phrase for the True Crime protagonist, Nick Kang. And in a cemetery in [[San Fierro]], gravestones with "R.I.P. Opposition, 1997-2004" can be seen, as Rockstar implies that San Andreas has "killed" the competition. Luxoflux again referenced GTA and | Luxoflux, makers of ''True Crime: Streets of L.A.'', also responded by putting up billboards in their game mocking the Rockstar Games logo used to advertise jockstraps around Los Angeles, California.

Luxoflux again referenced GTA and its use of remote controlled vehicles in the GTA III era in ''True Crime NYC'', by having the protagonist, Det. Marcus Reed, say at the start of a mission: "Now I gotta be a cab driver for this fool? Next thing you know I'll be flying remote controlled toys and shit." | ||
When ''Saints Row 2'' was released in 2008, Rockstar did not respond, due to the fact the GTA IV was released months ahead of ''SR2''. THQ did poke fun at GTA, however, as they ran a television commercial that mocked [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] of its [[TV|"useless" features]]. No controversy became of this, and no actual footage of GTA IV was shown, but the ad did feature the [[Pricedown]] font, which is the font used on all GTA logos since GTA III. | When ''Saints Row 2'' was released in 2008, Rockstar did not respond, due to the fact the GTA IV was released months ahead of ''SR2''.
