Something I noticed today:

 

Diablo Stallion... Stallion

Hoods Rumpo XL... Rumpo

Mafia Sentinel... Sentinel

Triad Fish Van... Mule

Yakuza Stinger... Stinger

 

How come there aren't "normal" versions of the Cartel Cruiser and Yardie Lobo? All other gang cars are based on in-game vehicles, seems strange that they aren't.

Just reading some replies here, and I've noticed this one. Nice catch.

Because it’s the iOs

Actually, I'm not sure! I haven't tried it on PS2 or iPhone, so maybe it is PC only.

Why is there no removed songs from III?

claude? nothing is known about him except he was born in san fierro so gta wiki states him as an american

How do we know he was born in San Fierro? Is it stated in one of the games or something and I missed it?

(Sorry for the super delayed reply, just doing some boredom browsing...)

[Nappy 1,383]

I mean, i tought so. I don’t think it was stated. I’d like to believe he was born in San Fierro and that garage was left to him from his family or something.

 

edit:

@ChengizVlad09 Hey, hope you don’t mind me asking this to you. Think you may have some knowledge about it. 
 

Was the player able to fly helicopters in the beta?

Edited April 5, 2020 by Payne

[ChengizVlad09 2,144]

Why would I mind you asking? - Of course not! 

 

Well, according to what I know and what's on the net, helicopter was never meant to be flown, not even during the beta stage - meaning it wasn't some sort of a cut feature. Considering rooftops, for example, in GTA III are without textures, I doubt any kind of flying was meant for the player at all. On the other hand, there are a lot more knowledgeable people when it comes to beta stuff than me, here on the Forums, so ultimately I could be wrong, but I doubt that, since this is pretty much known fact by now. Also, I would say that even early on in the development of GTA III, its creators were probably considering the idea, mainly since it was incorporated in GTA Vice City so easily.

 

Anyway, here's an interesting video, you might want to check out, it touches upon numerous GTA III Beta stuff, among other things, planes and similar and how 9/11 changed the final product.

 

Edit: Here's the word from the Rockstar themselves in regards to flying.

 

"Because we were making a driving and shooting game - even that, as a combination of core gameplay elements, was very, very radical at the time. The Dodo was never meant to be flown very much at all, and it certainly wasn’t grounded as a result of 9/11 – it was just a fun thing that people then went crazy with when they figured out various bugs that let them fly it!"

I find it weird  the way we can fly the dodo is a glitch.

I have a question to make. How does an ASI loader work in GTA 3 work? I'm just fresh from this community,this is my first time writing this. I was trying to play the GTA 3 Rainbowmizer,and it didn't work. 

Thank you for paitence and for reading this.
PS. Please indirect me to the rules for GTAForums so I don't do the same mistakes I would do in the past and make future emberismants

According to the readme, you'll need to make sure you're using the 1.0 version of the game instead of 1.1 which is installed by default with the Steam version. See link to download version 1.0 here.

 

Notes from readme file

- Downgrade to 1.0 (download link available above)
- Put the ASI and CFG files into your GTA III directory.
It is recommended to not use CLEO with this mod as it can prevent the autosave function from working properly.

 

Link to readme file here.

Is there an easy way to use manual aim on android? without modding too much....

[Earthbound 513]

Without modding? Not possible as far as I'm aware.

 

I've never actually seen a mod that would allow you to change this anyway. I hope there is though - the auto-aim feature is sh*t in this game.

[LIETUS 5]

Mine question:

Why this game wasn't been ported on Dreamcast?

[Earthbound 513]

Early on in the development of GTA3 there were rumours that it may be ported to the Dreamcast, but upon discontinuation of the console in March 2001 the effort would have seemed pretty pointless.

 

It's also worth noting that the Dreamcast never gained a huge portion of the market either.

[Nappy 1,383]

what does the “advanced shadows” option on mobile do? not sure if that’s also on pc

[djdarko 109]

Is the "Turismo" mission supposed to count as a mission passed?

 

Before completing it, I had 56 mission attempts and 56/73 missions completed. Now I have 57 attempts, but still 56/73 completed.  My criminal rating increased by 9 points though.

 

Edit: I must have already completed that mission before, as I had a time for it in the stats.

1. Where was claude shot by catalina? Some say neck some say chest. When gta 5 screenshots first came out people thought Michael was claude and used Michaels chest scars as proof. But those aren't gunshot marks

2. How much time passes between the opening and the first mission. There's enough time for him to stand trial,recover from a gunshot wound be sentnced and booked. 

3. Is claude mute or just choose not to talk?

Want to get every gta game for a collection so asking on all the threads. Is gta 3 on pc worth it?

[Earthbound 513]

Yep.

 

There is great mod support for GTA3. You can download some pretty comprehensive conversion mods to make the game look like the XBOX version, the beta version, or even LCS. If you're into the 3D series, you might have some fun with that.

 

The base version on PC is pretty great though. If you're considering getting the Steam version, I'd suggest a couple of minor mods to make the game more playable in 2020. Check out the video below for some more detail.

Noone answered this so I will.

GTA3's soundtrack is largely made up of local musicians (even such that some groups come from Edinburgh) So I wouldn't imagine Rockstar have a tough time at renewing any licenses for music from GTA3. I think the only real licensed music on GTA3 is on Flashback FM, it being basically the Scarface soundtrack. If you mean removed songs as in tracks that didn't make it to the final cut I am sure there are some but they'll be from those smaller groups like I said and Rockstars in-house music department.

Is it possible to import the Xbox mod of gta 3 to the 3 to VC engine mod and/or simply import the models+ cutscene head animations that way?

Also could  Cleo mods for VC work with 3 that way?(Like severed limbs mod for Vice City sooo...you know, we can have best of the two worlds.)

The Xbox mod from GTA3 is not a direct install on the GTA LC as the LC port uses a lot hacks and modifications to work over the VC engine. The proper way of doing this would be do to put the models (textures, skeletons, DFF's and collision files) into LC manually (while making sure they are corresponding to their III countparts). Cutscene heads on LC are still not working and hopefully they will find a way to work them work in future. Pretty sure that someone with the luxury of time will surely be able to do it.
