Hate how compressed the in game audio sounds?
Does the quality discrepancy between the cutscene and in game audio bother you? If so. This mod is for you!

GTA Trilogy: Audio Restoration Project is an ambitious mod that has been planned for quite some time now that has only started development recently. This mod aims to restore the audio quality of the classic GTA Trilogy to its maximum potential as if they were never compressed!
GTA III is our sole focus now, the plan is to work on 1 game at a time and receive regular and frequent updates, however GTA VC and SA will receive the upgrades on a later date.

Okay, this is weird. It's really hard to explain how (like with all AI stuff). It does sound "better" by getting rid of all that bassy stuff (which happens with compression), it makes the "s" "t" sound more clearer but it still sounds "compressed". Like when you use VSTPlugins to make your Logitech Headset microphone sound "slightly" better. BUT it's still fascinating and I am interested to see how this project will evolve.

Oh trust me it does sound better than that, the game’s ambient sounds and other misc sounds just sound way higher than the dialogue themselves so you wouldn’t hear it that well

Oh okay, yeah listening to the raw SFX it sounds much better. I only watched the 2 comparisons videos (GML intro) and that sounded a bit like VST equalizers, but that's nice!
I'm sorry for being too harsh when it comes to AI, after GSG ruined the GTA Trilogy, with all the textures, etc. It's just not easy to say "oh wow, the AI is really good". :D

Tbf, it’s not just AI, I manually touch them up the audio files that we ran in the AI, so it’s not really just the AI doing all the work

Now that I'm checking out the mod, I wonder if you could make an alternative audio for Catalina's The Exchange mission from Europe version. Overall, I love this!

Definitely, that’s one of our plans

And so "Under Surveillance" from Europe version. I think you got in your plans the audio of "Bomb da base act I" from og PS2 version, so that pesky wrong audio can be patched for once, and now in high quality! ;0

@Pub Rolf We don't have plans for that, but maybe some other time. No promises though, since modding on DE is tougher than modding the original game.

(though yeah honestly it would be a cool addition, but again no promises)

Download Link doesn't work...

I had gotten the audio files before it got deleted but I am too lazy to arrange them separately so you will have to copy the audio folder from my archive and paste it into your game folder. So here's the link https://www.mediafire.com/file/9y8ohu49rv9h9c5/Grand_Theft_Auto_3_Steambackup_Modded_V1.rar/file

Edit: V1 is just a version naming for my backup, I have also made version 2 and testing it which might crash or may not but it has cut-dialogues maybe in lower quality or maybe in higher quality I don't know so ignore it.

Is this Projekt dead? Or can we have a new Download link please?
