The top-down games had no real storyline, and the games never intertwined.
Your almost right on the storyline, Kent Rosenberg doesn't make the reference on the year, it tells you at the start of the game with the bosses meetings.

| Is the guy in GTA 3 actually Max Pain? I know Rock Star made both, but are those two the same? They look alike. |
Probably not, since Max talks. Max could be based on the Mute, since Max Pain was release after GTA3

| Also, what happened to Catalina? |
She went a boom.
As for follow up GTAs, I personnally wouldn't like to see all the games characters intertwined.
