From Rockstar:
"Hello all,
Throughout October, Rockstar Games is celebrating the 10th anniversary of one of the most influential games of all time, Grand Theft Auto III.
With stellar voice acting, a darkly comic storyline, a stunning soundtrack and revolutionary open-world gameplay, Grand Theft Auto III was a landmark moment in popular culture.
The tale of a small-time criminal set loose in Liberty City, a sprawling metropolis where anything could happen, Grand Theft Auto III was the frontrunner of a new genre: the non-linear, ‘open world’ 3D game. It also marked a turning point in the evolution of videogames into a bonafide entertainment phenomenon."
Like the film or television industry, the world of gaming has seen its fair share of reboots over the years. While some of these video game reboots have had
A new Grand Theft Auto III comparison highlights the massive visual differences between the unofficial UE5 remake and the Definitive Edition
Wow, now thats UNREAL! Why do they try to hose us with re-releases when the community can do this with UE5?! Holy crap thats absolutely insane and puts T2 to absolute SHAME!
So yes it looks good but the thing is once you start building new assets and making significant changes like what's been done here it stops being gta 3.
In the example shots roads are so narrow they are essentially one way streets.
I'm not crapping on the work.this guy did it's fantastic but it's not gta 3.
This isn't a gta 3 remake in ue it's a fan game that uses gta 3 as inspiration if that's better or worse it's subjective.
Gta definitive wasn't great but that was more related to the ugly character models and bugs 1 was an attempt by gsg to leave a mark on the game the other was their lack of care.
Part of the charm of GTA is the semi cartoonish look it has. Making it too realistic doesn't fit the game.
This was told in the documentary series “Power On: The Story of Xbox” According to part 3 of this documentary series about the history of the Xbox
Yup. Back when Microsoft was making some very bad decisions. They could have been the one that launched GTA. They could have had Heavenly Sword. They made a bad deal with Nvidia. And so on.
But, it worked out that Rockstar went multiplatform and Ninja Theory is now part of Microsoft after many years. And AMD won the contracts and Nvidia tech is not used by any home console manufacture except for portables like Switch.
Ah. Game history.
Heavenly sword as an IP has always been owned by Sony. Where did you hear MS could’ve had it?
The very first first reveal of Heavenly Sword was a pc build on an Xbox website. Sony acquired the publishing rights later.
Guess you don't know your gaming history.
At one time, Heavenly sword was running on PC and then an early Xbox 360 prototype but was canceled in favor of PS3.

I'm well aware who owns the IP.
Lol. So you're wrong. Take that to the bank. Vanfernal knows and says it below. I didn't say they owned the game. They own the developer. Did I have to spell it out.
@Apocalypse
When someone asks a question after a statement it’s them challenging their initial belief. Van gave a reason in which it was liked for giving the info.
Not knowing about one games point is pretty irrelevant to a whole of my gaming knowledge.
Actually rockstar didn't go multiplatform initially GTA 3 and vc were PS exclusive for a while and San Andreas also had 1 year exclusive period I remember being in high school and that week you were either waiting for San Andreas if you owned a PlayStation or halo 2 if you owned a Xbox
GTA 3 was PS2 exclusive. Now, GTA is multiplatform as it's ported to other consoles and mobile.
What is it with these kids these days. Lol.
Well someone like to highlight MS failures. Sorry there are too many to count. If not for their incredible sized budget, they might not be around today. I'm glad they are so that the rest of them do not sit on their laurels. Nevertheless, it was clear and still is clear today MS had no idea what the **** they were doing back then. They "Jumped In" and did little to no homework.
Give them credit they have learned a few things since then. A GTA exclusive back then, would have changed the console gaming landscape. My only issue is that they still make some dumb decisions today and clearly have shown they still have much to learn....but they are getting better.
Classic. Great times with this game, great times. They need to stop messing around and just announced a remastered trilogy pack for the 360 and PS3 featuring GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas.
I was so happy to hear the original trailer's music "O Mio Babbino Caro", brought back ten years later for this celebration of the title that made Rockstar Games a made-man.
