Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City '01

[Matt1010]

 

 

 

GTA Liberty City 2001 (LC'01) is a lore friendly total conversion mod for Grand Theft Auto 3 that attempts to make the game more in line with its counterparts from later in the 3D era by updating gameplay as well as design direction to match that of its successors.

 

Design wise a key source has been primarily inspiration coming from Rockstar Leeds' Stories games, all while aiming to maintain GTA3's unique identity and fleshing it out through various restorations of design concepts Rockstar never had time to finish or developing on brands and ideas that were originally lacking detail.

 

Gameplay has been finetuned to encompass all the best elements from Vice City, San Andreas as well as Stories, enabling the player to switch outfits, explore interiors across the city, play arcade games, swim for a very limited time, fly helicopters, jump out of moving vehicles, utilize over 36 weapons and drive over 105 vehicles and much more. 

 

Stay tuned.

When it's done.

(side-note: we don't know when it will get released, so please don't ask us about this)

[Keith Ward]

So, it's GTA 3 in the GTA: LCS engine, which in itself is a modded version of Vice City?

It's vanilla III modded to look like LCS, as if created by Rockstar Leeds, plus some gameplay improvements here and there.

[Sergiu]

Yes, to elaborate further on the points above...

LC01 is aiming to bring in a series of improvements from Vice City/Stories games so that GTA3 can finally be in line with the rest of the 3D era.

This means: safehouses, outfits, gun store menus, helicopters, 30 new vehicles and the list goes on and on...

 

Style wise we use elements from III in LCS style, reworked from assets or from scratch. We also borrow bits and pieces from the betas of III and LCS for good measure.

There are some ties to GTA Advance as well, such as two of the vehicles (Brit and F1) and a reference to Asuka's blue Stinger as well as a stadium side mission.

Other references to tie it to LCS and Liberty Tree lore are also added (such as a broken rusty Sanchez prop due to the motorcycle ban in LC).

 

Characters were reworked in LCS style and generally aimed at respecting their respective artwork designs (which other 3D era GTAs did more than III).

Controls and gameplay will be similar to LCS. Timecyc and pedestrians will be mostly influenced by GTA3 to maintain the original atmosphere.

Claude's outfits are based on GTA3 concept art and story boards or movie and pop culture references.

[Cleoude]

Nice project I've ever seen! Keep it up!

[Gravarty]

Whoa, this is awesome! This reminds me of my old Vibe Pack thing i made just for taking some pictures using aaps timecyc and dev tool

I love it how you also remade all the characters to look like Leeds work, great! Good luck and i can't wait to try out the first public beta release!  

EDIT: Removed links/pics etc. because people might think it was my intention to make them aware of this old mod.

It looks awesome!!! Nice work guys!!!

[Reizov]

This looks so incredible, everything looks so good, like seriously I'm really impressed by this! And especially Claude, he looks so good in this along with the outfits. Honestly, I am loving this project, and I can't wait to play it when It's done, seriously well done guys, keep up the good work! Also, are there going to be like some GTA 3 cars remade in LCS style, like the Manana, Kuruma, Perennial and Borgnine later on? As an addon I mean.

@Jinx., @Matt1010 and @Sergiu bros, congrats on finally opening up a topic for this! Glad to have been giving out minor pointers and suggestions.

 

If you don't mind, I'd like to say something; wouldn't it be much better if updates and stuff about the mod were posted on here rather than in Discord? The latter often seems to make the most of us feel like a fish out of the water, so you might want to consider that.

 

But either way, keep it up and wish y'all good luck! 

[Matt1010]

@H-G Sure, we can announce some updates here, but only the ones that are worth uploading.

Yeah, we won't post constant updates here like on Discord. It's easier to do it there + this thread won't be spammed constantly by us. They'll be clumped and posted here eventually.

 

As for being "a fish out of the water", actually a lot of modding folks use Discord nowadays for several reasons we all already know.

[Sergiu]

III bat, III Remington pump action in VC/Stories level of detail, tweaked LCS cutscene Colt (since III also had a Colt).
