Swimming & Water Physics Evolution: ALL GTA Games (1997-2025)

28 Years of Swimming. This is the most complete evolution of swimming mechanics and water interaction in Grand Theft Auto history. While other comparisons skip titles, I've included EVERY single game, from the classic 2D era to the latest 2024-2025 fan-made projects on the RAGE engine. Watch the transition from the "instant death" water of Vice City to the advanced buoyancy, realistic ripples, and deep-sea diving of the modern era. I personally recorded and edited every clip to ensure the highest quality comparison of how physics and animations have changed over nearly three decades. I’m still waiting for the release of the legendary GTA VI to see how far they push the water physics next.
