Why I Still Love GTA 3

Garvaos from Plus XP explains why he still thinks GTA 3 is still one of the best GTA games ever.

Quagmire4777d ago

My personal fave is Vice City. Love the time, the music, the style, the fashion, the music, the neon lights, the music, the music...

PlusXP4777d ago

Vice city for me is a close second I got to admit :D

an0nym0us4777d ago (Edited 4777d ago )

Vice City was gay because of the color "Pink"

Quagmire4777d ago

So you're telling me that you and pigs are gay? mmkay, if thats what floats your boat.

MintBerryCrunch4777d ago

you associate gay with pink?

how old are you

BlmThug4777d ago

@an0nym0us Wow, How Old Are You, Only Kids Think Pink Is A Girls Colour & Is Gay, On Topic Gta VC & SA Were The Best For Me

metsgaming4777d ago

mine too vice city was the best gta. Then i would put gta 3 second and then San Andreas. GTA4 is like indiana jones 4, im pretending that it has nothing to do with the others and is just stealing the name.

miko_a7x4777d ago

Well, GTA 4 was awesome man, come one! Vice City for me the greatest game since the arrival of the Playstation, and GTA is def the best franchise. They are like the Martin Scorsese movie of the game industry. But IV was actually pretty good. Yes I agree it didn't have the "FUN" factor that basically made the other GTA games awesome, but the script and the world design were top notch

Electroshocked4776d ago

It would be pretty awesome if they made GTA I, GTA II, GTA III, San Andreas and Vice City as a HD collection for the PS3 with trophies.

even the psp gta's are better then gta4, by a long shot.

Oldman1004777d ago

I remember...

-mastering the art of the dodo and being able to fly it as long as i wanted.

-coming across the banshee for the first time at the auto dealer and being amazed you could actually drive it.

-blowing limbs off of pedestrians (thanks to the gore cheat) leaving only the torso.

Good times...

Trevonn4777d ago (Edited 4777d ago )

have u actuly played any of the other gta's?

jazzybaboon4777d ago

I played 3 and vice city but gave up on san andreas because i thought it was a bit racist which ruined the fun. I like them all gameplay wise but my mum used to spank me to my room if she caught me playing them.

Trevonn4777d ago

im mindboogled how 4 can be your fav when 3 set the benchmark VC raised the benchmark SA raised it again then 4 came out on its massive hype train ryding onthe sucsess of the other three then BAM!!! imo gta4 was utter horseshite the biggest letdown in gaming EVER!! for me i still curse rockstar,gta4 and rdr till this very day rdr's story was good but the missions were like playing cod 4 years straight same ol same ol
rockstar i hope you read this because you've dug big hole for me even red fraction guerrella had a better cheatlist than gta4 for christ's sake

xstation794776d ago

I really enjoyed gta 4, I don't care what other people say about it. San andreas is my favorite.

Wow, now thats UNREAL! Why do they try to hose us with re-releases when the community can do this with UE5?! Holy crap thats absolutely insane and puts T2 to absolute SHAME!

porkChop666d ago

That's actually incredible.

Profchaos666d ago

So yes it looks good but the thing is once you start building new assets and making significant changes like what's been done here it stops being gta 3.
In the example shots roads are so narrow they are essentially one way streets.

I'm not crapping on the work.this guy did it's fantastic but it's not gta 3.

This isn't a gta 3 remake in ue it's a fan game that uses gta 3 as inspiration if that's better or worse it's subjective.

Gta definitive wasn't great but that was more related to the ugly character models and bugs 1 was an attempt by gsg to leave a mark on the game the other was their lack of care.

Part of the charm of GTA is the semi cartoonish look it has. Making it too realistic doesn't fit the game.

LordoftheCritics666d ago

Remove the main character walking and its another generic enviroment demo.

Yup. Back when Microsoft was making some very bad decisions. They could have been the one that launched GTA. They could have had Heavenly Sword. They made a bad deal with Nvidia. And so on.

But, it worked out that Rockstar went multiplatform and Ninja Theory is now part of Microsoft after many years. And AMD won the contracts and Nvidia tech is not used by any home console manufacture except for portables like Switch.

Ah. Game history.

Lexreborn2855d ago

Heavenly sword as an IP has always been owned by Sony. Where did you hear MS could’ve had it?

Vanfernal855d ago

The very first first reveal of Heavenly Sword was a pc build on an Xbox website. Sony acquired the publishing rights later.

ApocalypseShadow854d ago (Edited 854d ago )

Guess you don't know your gaming history.

At one time, Heavenly sword was running on PC and then an early Xbox 360 prototype but was canceled in favor of PS3.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

I'm well aware who owns the IP.
Lol. So you're wrong. Take that to the bank. Vanfernal knows and says it below. I didn't say they owned the game. They own the developer. Did I have to spell it out.

Lexreborn2854d ago

@Apocalypse

When someone asks a question after a statement it’s them challenging their initial belief. Van gave a reason in which it was liked for giving the info.

Not knowing about one games point is pretty irrelevant to a whole of my gaming knowledge.

Profchaos855d ago

Actually rockstar didn't go multiplatform initially GTA 3 and vc were PS exclusive for a while and San Andreas also had 1 year exclusive period I remember being in high school and that week you were either waiting for San Andreas if you owned a PlayStation or halo 2 if you owned a Xbox

ApocalypseShadow854d ago

GTA 3 was PS2 exclusive. Now, GTA is multiplatform as it's ported to other consoles and mobile.

What is it with these kids these days. Lol.

NeoGamer232855d ago

Should've, Would've Could've - Didn't

zarbor854d ago

Well someone like to highlight MS failures. Sorry there are too many to count. If not for their incredible sized budget, they might not be around today. I'm glad they are so that the rest of them do not sit on their laurels. Nevertheless, it was clear and still is clear today MS had no idea what the **** they were doing back then. They "Jumped In" and did little to no homework.

Give them credit they have learned a few things since then. A GTA exclusive back then, would have changed the console gaming landscape. My only issue is that they still make some dumb decisions today and clearly have shown they still have much to learn....but they are getting better.
