I Played The 2013 Version of GTA Online in 2023...

Through emulation it is now possible to play the 2013 version (Patch 1.06) of GTA Online. In this video I showcase how different GTA Online was back in the day and how much you can do in this version.

The good old days, as a day one player I almost shed a tear

How much time was invested in a stupid video game that is more addictive than fun. Days of our lives wasted.

[@why-is-this-handle--a-thing]

this brings back good memories. i remember when i started playing in december 2013. good old days when everyone who had an adder was king. lol

[@TaccRaccoon]

I miss the way the map looked back then Not only did it look better with the colors but the minimap looks nicer having the solid border to me

[@tomaprd]

Yeah

[@anotherfacelessname9270]

I remember playing this with my friend back in the day on ps3. I don't know what he did with any of the money he earned, but he never bought a single property or vehicle and he was always at $0. I do know that he spent a lot of time at the Vanilla Unicorn. The nostalgia!

[@TenacityYT]

🤣

[@extremeking425]

Its really been 10 years, I still cant believe it, on September 17th, I hope we either get a massive 10 year anniversary update or the trailer for gta 6. One of the two must happen.

[@ryg2304]

Yep. 10 years is long enough. Need to see something this year from rockstar

[@miamora01]

October 1 is the online anniversary

[@reenokop]

Yeah yeah, set yourself up for a disappointment!

[@quahmeilrobinson7953]

Back then you had to grind rooftop rumble and a titan of a job to get the best things

[@Redzun]

ah yes, the good old days... • going to north yankton by flying past the airport barrier • doing contact missions with shootouts and car chases, before it was speedran by toreadors, deluxos, and opressors • when the most menacing vehicle in the lobby was a tank • getting the FFA special crates for the beer hats and minigun • acquiring your first supercar and customizing it, reversing and using it as bulletproof cover • when the unreleased heists got leaked and you were able to add them as contact jobs

[@Tylera_l]

Oh God the beer hat crates

[@aaronhughes4700]

Wow dude holy hell I forgot about the crate drops,super nostalgic thank you for that

[@Vexiii.]

Damn this brings back so many memories.

[@Lesrock23]

The current game still does tell you how many people can occupy a vehicle, they moved the icon to the top right instead of the bottom left, though Benny's website doesn't have that feature.

[@lakerfan2874]

One mistake they made is having Warstock claiming the Alkonost can sit 2 players, which is not true. I had one, and my friend couldn't even get inside it with me.

[@defjamcool]

Yeah i also got my ps3 account since 2009 and started with gta online on october 2nd

[@AKidNamedFingerEhrmantrout]

i made my character on day one of gta online. kinda stopped playing tho since rockstar got greedy with gta plus

[@aft5264]

Yep fellow day one player as well. I do love how much online has evolved though

[@saibot20194]

I remember that the tank was so OP it was nearly indestructible, they nerfed it later on.

[@thespiritualist2842]

people just griefing in lobbies with it were crazy. Had to power level to 70 to not get toyed with as much ;D

[@dcigsfan2306]

I remember playing like crazy when it first came out, saving tanks and jets in your garage, money glitches, the good ol days

[@Dylan___]

i remember doing the glitch where you could buy the tank at rank 1 because you would switch around the url it was cool

[@kevincalgta]

Those were simpler times back, then no orbital cannon no oppressor mk2 but I have to admit it was a lot harder to make money

[@Extreme2SwaggerHD]

It might of seemed to you that those times were simple but they seriously weren't, the Iraq war was going on, the economy was just slowly shifting out of the mud from the 2008 financial crash, xbox was in the mud and there reputation hacked and slashed with the Xbox one DRM debacle that year and Microsoft were close to getting rid of the Xbox division, the PS3s and the Xbox 360s interface were complicated to operate, PS3s controller was shite and held back the whole industry, the ps5s and Xbox series x/s interface and controller are much more simpler to operate and are user friendly. The point is times may have seems simpler back then but time actually feels much more simpler now and none of the stuff I mentioned above are happening as of now

[@navixaxa5023]

Brought so many memories back. Thank you mate. Just enjoyed a take-out. It is drizzling. Heading towards an all-night gaming sessions with my buddies [Friday night], so no Office tomorrow. When I take the small breaks in between, I'll reminsce the days, the games and the friends that have come and gone, and how I'll cherish the good ol days for the rest of my life.

[@LKG]

Great video! So nostalgic

[@UltimatelyEverything]

Man this brings back memories of when i first started this game and it hits different knowing this game is almost 10 years old.

[@ALWAREED_]

The guy who informed us and saved it is a legend! props to him for bringing the original gta online

[@joeycommet45]

This takes me back. I remember day 1 when the servers didn't even work.

[@devilgames2217]

The game was magical back then :')

[@DTWExtreme]

I remember that when I played it at PS3 the first thing i got was a convertible, I stole and got as a saving car. Then I grinded for my first house that was near Vespuchi Beach( it is the house next to the gasstation and AmmoNation shop) I felt proud that I had my first house in the game in a time of 2013, when i was around 17 and 18 years old. That is just Nostalgia.

[@NicholasUmstead]

Ah memories, brings me back to grinding to try and earn the combat mg playing violent duct and coveted.

[@PerilGames]

I remember getting gta v on release day because September 17 is my birthday. I was only 8 but my dad had no problem with me playing gta, especially since I played a lot of gta iv and was in love with it. I remember in gta iv I would always go in the hospital and try to survive against cops for as long as possible. I would never run out of ammo because I would grab the ammo off cops every loop. Those were the good old gta days for me.

[@sasuke172533]

I liked the background of different places in the city that the cars had before on legendary web site, instead of the current background inside the garage.

[@WayLessRaces]

This brings me back

[@firefiregoose3695]

New players today want to get a tank or a jet right away. All we wanted was an Adder 😢

[@user-ze2ik6kq8b]

What's interesting is if you are a modder you can have all of the updated items that were in ps3 for example the T20 car did not exist in 2013 but you can spawn it anyway.

[@SoraFan23]

Yes people as someone who has played since 2013 this is exactly how I remebered GTA Online.

I remember when online just launched, (before the beach bum) there was just a gray place holder of an image, instead of a picture of the actual car. And I belive the cars from the beach bum was free because shark cards didn't work for a few months.

[@Joshk326]

When I use to mod I would go back to the old version to use old mod tools such as the rob a store and get billions mod and then update the game back to the latest and be able to keep everything I previously got. Lowkey reminds me of the old mw2 1.11 patch days

[@EseHommieChuy]

I was 18 when the game came out. I was having a baby on the way and i worked at a movie theater. When i had free time I would jump on GTA V online and play I remember how fun it was during those days especially having limited items. i remember how challenging it was to get a jet. But when i got on that jet i would literally just grief people. I remember being so unstoppable in the air. I would take on groups of people and everyone talking mad shit to me this was a time before KD warriors was a thing. I just did it for fun and reactions. I remember when you came across a normal white dot and it turned out to be a tank man that would make me shit my pants lol i would just run and hide. Another trolling technique i did when i was killing players, whenever you would start a random mission your character would literally teleport to the starting circle. Every single time. I remember people being so confused and puzzled on how I did that i was literally called a hacker non-stop. And they would literally drive to me across the map while i just teleported to another location. So much frustration for those people. Im turning 28 now and im just recently getting back into GTA online. Crazy how time flies. They need to release GTA IV asap. So much memories.

I got the rank 25,50, and 100 achievements unlocked all in one day at the time. All i can say is, im glad to see the OG GTA ONLINE again as a 16 year old GTA online veteran, 8-9 years later. And if anyone can tell me how to emulate GTA online on the Xbox 360, please, let me know. I'll play with you!

I'm not quite sure what's going on anymore if I'm honest. I just drive around in my Adder getting blown up. I feel like Captain America when he got defrosted...
