Holy sh*t, I knew the Xbox version was far more detailed but I wasn't expecting it to be to this extent...

 

Good to see there's still some mad GTA3 modders left in the world. Can't wait for it to be finished.

 

If I could help I would, but seeing as I don't have a copy of GTA3 (Xbox) I unfortunately can't.

Ayo!

=)

The radio stations in xbox version are a lot better quality, they are cleaner and all... they are in .wma format.

I converted them to .wav, but each one weights about 150 mb cause they are "PCM", uncompressed... And there is no point to compress them, because it's a big loss of quality

There must be a way to make gta3 use .wma instead of .wav I think

 

Well great job anyway

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

The Taxi, Police and Perennial is ingame now!

Fireburns

[Snakesmeller]

Are you goin to convert xbox claude in this mod?

[L!mon]

Holy sh*t!

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

 

Holy sh*t!

You need to convert them with AK-73's dffxbox2pc.

[Fischkopf]

This is mod is AWESOME! I will definately reinstall my gta 3 for that!

But the Cars need a little more shiny reflection like in the Xbox version.

 

btw. Xbox version graphics look actually way better than San Andreas (on all systems) imo!!!!

for example the tires (they are ROUND in gta 3)

[Daan17]

Cool!

Will You make xbox flame? I know it's hard

 

Cars're better because they have realtime reflections. It's stupid that R* didn't put xbox details in pc version

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

My post is edited, all 3 cars working ingame now without problems.

Just added the engine texture to the car textures in txd.img

[G The Generous]

[Dvt-MedShot]

That's sick! So much difference...

The XBOX version is just HD!

 

Nice job guys! Awesome mod.

[Bullet_Chris]

Looks promising!Cant f*cking wait!

[Murcchachosa]

Wauw, sadley R* didnt made the game exact as Xbox game

You can see very huge differences.

Vehicle and wheels are more high detailed on Xbox than PC.

Textures seems to be high res on Xbox than PC.

Im asking myself whats was the strongest PC you can get in the time

where GTA3 was released.

 

 

Im amazed what you guys have done

Really impressed.

My first GA game ever was the GTA3 itselfs.

Since that moment played GTA, I have at last a life.

A life to play GTA games

[Fischkopf]

Please release a beta version Soon with the Xbox Cars

[Gta Guy 108]

What exactly are the other differences between the pc and ps2 with the xbox, except for the higher quality textures and cars, models etc?

[1TUFSS]

Not much, but not only were the vehicle models higher poly, they also looked distinctly different from the PC/PS2 versions - they had 3D engines and differed in some details (Kuruma, Stinger, etc. had chrome trim around the headlights).

 

Aside from that the effects were much more realistic (and complicated) than PC/PS2.

 

Xbox also had proper reflections - they weren't real-time, as they only reflected buildings and trees, not dynamic objects like peds and cars.

[Rim]

I'm back. I'll start converting right away!

 

@SLAYERMAGGOT Nice job, man. I wasn't be able to convert these 3 cars.

 

@badboy_zay I will send you ped file soon

 

@Snakesmeller xbox Claude model is already converted by Zom-B. I will ask his permission to use it
