Arab (CYP) 132 Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) About the mod: I remember, when I just bought GTA 3 in 2002. It was one of the most awesome games I've ever played, and my opinion didn't changed since 2002. 2 years ago I decided to remake this game in high quality, because i want to make more fans and players of Grand Theft Auto 3. Imagine the new version of the old Grand Theft Auto 3. Now, a(n amateur) modder team (Rockstar Wizards DT) makes a total conversion of this game. The city is same, Liberty City, "the worst city in the U.S.". The old, low-poly models are remade in HD (using hi-poly models and Hq textures), the graphics engine uses DirectX9, and it has a lot of added feautures. For example you can buy houses, cars. There are real-time reflections and DX9 effects (thanks to Boris Vorontsov), there are added cars, objects, and a totally new gaming experience, but the storyline is the same. The mod will be available for GTA 3, it does NOT uses R.A.G.E. engine. The team started the work 2 years ago, but then the mod, and the team was in very early stages. About the team: A lot of member was added and deleted, but DK22Pac (scripter, etc) and Frank.S (rigging) are continuous members of the team. Of course me too, I am the leader of the team. I make models, textures and etc. FAQ When will be the mod done? -I think we will finish in this summer, in the end of august. How many % is done? -I dont know, it would be little bit hard to say anything. It uses R.A.G.E. engine? -no Is it for GTA IV? -no Can anybody join to the team? -yepp, of course, just contact us. Will it be like Duke Nukem? -no, if I cant finish the mode, I'll share it, and hope that somebody will continue it. I dont think it will be necessary. Why is everything so cloudy and dark on the pictures? -because you said earlier, that with the previous effects and settings its too shiny and bright, and it wasnt like Liberty City. Pictures:(click on the picture to the original size) Thanks to: -Boris Vorontsov for the grapich effects -Frank.S -DK22Pac for the hard work -Onepiece for the HQ Cars Pack -everybody, who helps the team.

DK22Pac 2,445 Posted June 22, 2012 I still can help with textures... I thought about redrawing textures in chinatown, but I didn't find anybody who knows Japanese/Chinese. Some hieroglyphs are too blurred, and I can't even redraw them. (Anyways, who cares - they could be replaced with stuff from IV ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
œaœa 641 Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) That's renderware? The fourth picture doesn't even look like GTA 3 but I'm glad the atmosphere is still there! Edited June 22, 2012 by sibs44 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death2Drugs 39 Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) 2 Questions: *What peds are you using? Are they from GTA IV? Are they from the GTA III XBOX Version (which were much better looking)? Will this mod include more peds than GTA III originally had? *Will this mod have a new physics engine? BTW, Amazing work! I love how you've taken full advantage of GTA 3's Renderware engine! It's not crappy, it's just the textures that R* used that are crappy. Edited June 22, 2012 by Death2Drugs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nkjellman 1,638 Posted June 22, 2012 Looking good. For EFLC you could do an HD Double Pack with Vice City HD. I know Ive sugested it before but I think doing one would be cool. You can pick the mod you wana play in the menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IgorX 40 Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Hello pearcyp So i glad you back on the work over mod. So i back after 5 days and show you some new work by me (I mean HD models for GTA 3 HD). P.S. You forget to replace one building, that made by OnePiece. I send some HD pack for your mod early. Also Don't forget to update dropbox.

Death2Drugs 39 Posted June 22, 2012 BTW (I don't want to create a quote train), I hope alongside with new peds, textures, buildings, etc you should also add new sound effects. Back in 2001 we had the corny sound effects of GTA 3. They were funny, but for today's standards they're too cartoony. I hope you're replacing the old sound effects with new, more realistic, ones. For a start, you might want to use the XBOX radio stations, which are enhanced and in HD (the GTA 3 Xbox Team already has them for download). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nkjellman 1,638 Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Ok. I like the radio stations. They all sound good. BTW was Liberty Rock recorded from GTA IV? It sounds like it was recorded. You should find a way to keep the original stations, and add the new because original are GTA III's radio stations, and your stations sound really good.

Joaoseinha 4 Posted June 22, 2012 Neat.I'm completing GTA III again with a couple of HD mods by Onepiece and I wish I already had this to go in with it. By the way,will this replace the pedestrians too?Because I think the default ones will look dull and low-poly compared to everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
