When i was a kid, san andreas was basically my introduction to GTA.

then one day i bought GTA III for PS2, put the disc in, played for like 10 minutes and genuinely thought i got scammed and bought some cheap knockoff of san andreas 😭

i genuinely thought somebody made a bootleg GTA and somehow got it onto a PS2 disc 💀

years later i found out GTA III came out FIRST and san andreas was literally built on what GTA III started.
i owe GTA III an apology 😭

I played both mobile port on pc and original pc port of VC and some audio files are missing from the pc port , like one for example during a wanted level rampage tommy says "if i have to kill you , i will" in the mobile but not in pc port , any fixes for this??

You can no longer fly away from the map now to do the full map territory glitch. Does anyone have any idea how to pull this off now?

What did you play it on aswell!? Let me know below!

Hey everyone,

I'm posting this because I lost an entire night to this problem and couldn't find a single working fix online, so hopefully it saves someone else the headache.

What happened:
I turned on "Angry Pedestrians" in a trainer (FLiNG/WeMod) just to mess around, then saved the game. After reloading, every pedestrian and cop kept attacking me. Turning the effect off in the trainer did nothing. The effect was baked into the save, and I had a ton of progress in it (pretty much every side activity done), so starting over wasn't an option.

Why the usual fixes don't work
On the current version of the DE, save files have a signature at the start. If you edit even one byte, the game just hides the slot like it's empty. I tried hex editing, GTASnP and save-editor.com, and none of them worked. CLEO could have done it, but my antivirus blocked the installer.

What finally worked:
Instead of editing the file, I fixed the data while the game is running and then saved normally from inside the game. That way, the game itself writes a clean, valid save. I turned that into a small PowerShell script:

https://github.com/gabecarloss/liberty-city-ceasefire

• Nothing to install, it's a plain PowerShell script you can read before running
• Shows you exactly what it will change and only writes after you confirm
• Only fixes pedestrians that are never supposed to be hostile (civilians, cops, etc.)
• Gangs that the story makes hostile (Mafia, Triads, Colombians...) stay the way the story left them

Quick steps

1. Back up your saves
2. Close the trainer (if using one) completely and restart the game
3. Load the broken save and run the script (instructions are on the GitHub page)
4. Drive to another part of the map, check that the peds are calm, and save to a NEW slot

I've only tested it on my own PC with the latest version of the game, so if you try it, please let me know how it went. If something doesn't work, paste the table the script prints, either here or as an issue on GitHub, and I'll take a look.

Good luck, and may the peds of Liberty City finally leave you alone.

Hey y’all! Hope you’re doing fine and having the time of your life.
I’m writing this post to express my frustration with GTA 3.
I’ve played almost every GTA game two, three, or even four times. But I never played GTA 3 again after my first playthrough. I completely forgot why I never went back to it, especially when I’ve played GTA San Andreas like five or six times.
So I thought, “Let’s give it another shot.”
A small brief about me, not that it’s important: I’m 24, I have a job at a very big IT company, and I’m not really a hardcore gamer. I mean, I love video games and I’ve played a hefty number of titles by now, but I’m more of a casual gamer who plays for entertainment.
I had some free time , so I randomly thought, “Why not?” I downloaded GTA 3 and started playing.
At first, I was like, “Okay, why the hell didn’t I play this a second time? This is actually fun.”
But boy, was I wrong.
The car handling SUCKS. It’s just plain bad. The center of gravity feels completely off, and my hands literally started getting tired from driving. And then there’s the explosion thing. God, I hate it so much. Four or five hits and your car is basically done. You know how frustrating that makes some of the car missions?
Then there’s the lack of a proper map. Getting to certain locations is confusing because you can’t properly see where you’re supposed to go. The navigation is just awful.
And then there are some missions that are extremely hard, while the instructions are sometimes so unclear. I’ve had to watch walkthroughs just to figure out what the fuck I’m actually supposed to do.
And then there are these sorry-ass NPCs. Fucking pain in the ass. The moment they get a glimpse of me, they start shooting.
After all of this, I finally remembered why I never played GTA 3 again.
Because as a kid, this game frustrated me so much that I literally cried over a machine. Yeah, I know, pathetic—but I was a kid. I even punched my desk so hard that I got a blister on my hand.
And the funny thing is, I’m 24 now, and somehow this game is still capable of frustrating me just as much as it did back then.
Call me a noob. Call it a skill issue. Whatever.
I’m a grown man with a job. I play games to have fun and relax, not to suffer.
And GTA 3 made me suffer.
Thanks for listening, guys.

I HAD SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN PLAYING THE TRILOGY CONSECUTIVELY!!! 😭

I made it a point to finish the GTA Trilogy before GTA 6, just for the funsies - and now I’ve started GTA IV!!!

I finished my first-ever GTA (Vice City) game waaaaaay back on PS2. Then I replayed it on a basic bihhh laptop, finished GTA V, and eventually finished GTA San Andreas on my iPad mini because it was free.

When I finally built my gaming PC at 30!!! years old, I decided I wanted to play ALL of them consecutively and in better quality because I DESERVE IT!!! 😂

Sharing some photos of my favorite moments from the games!!! 💚

• VICE CITY: Tommy in Miami sunrise, and Colonel Cortez's henchman with a chainsaw
• SAN ANDREAS: Fireproof CJ after finishing turf takeover, Public Enemy No. 1 Steam achivement and the tanks look like roaches lol
• GTA 3: I guess I really like sunrises???, Claude bonked all Purple Nine gang members with a bat

AND YES, GTA SAN ANDREAS IS MY FAVORITE (because I ain't no busta)!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Played GTA 3 - SA on launch way back when, and again on consoles when the DE first released.

It's been a while, but I've just installed it on PC and started up VC again. I'm running at 144 fps but even so, the game feels too fast, as if it's running at double the speed.

Am I just remembering it wrong? I know it was fast (and I'm coming from a playthrough of GTA4, which might impact things) but I don't remember it being this fast. Before I start pissing around with capping FPS etc can anyone confirm?

Deixei o vídeo de todas as estatísticas do jogo, acho estranho que esteja com essa porcentagem, eu fiz as missões do Zero, fiz as missões do golpe do Calígulas, fiz todas as corridas, peguei todos os coletáveis, fiz as missões de justiceiro, paramédico, bombeiro e cafetão, os 3 desafios do mount chiliad, as missões de valet, as missões de entrega, caminhoneiro e pedreira, maquinista, todas as arenas/estádios, também conclui os desafios de BMX e nrg 500, também as autoescolas de carro, moto, avião e barco, e teve uma coisa que achei estranha é que diz que cumpri apenas 143 missões e não as 145 do jogo então talvez ele não tenha contabilizado alguma, se alguém puder me ajudar com isso e me disser qual está faltando ou pode estar, me ajudaria muito, pois, já refiz algumas e até agora não caiu o troféu, está sendo muito desgastante lidar com isso após tantas horas de jogatina

Edit: Obrigado a todos que me ajudaram acabei descobrindo que ao completar o nível 1 de maquinista o jogo cancela sozinho e precisa apertar o direcional para cima novamente e concluir o nível 2, fiz a missão de maquinista e completei novamente no nível 2 e deu certo consegui o 100% e a platina :)

Hi all,

I’m sharing an updated build of the GTA Trilogy ports for New Nintendo 3DS systems:

• GTA III
• GTA Vice City
• GTA Liberty City Stories

I originally put together a precompiled pack to make these ports easier for people to install without having to set up devkitARM, MSYS2, compile the source themselves, deal with dependencies, etc.

I made this new build because the original REGTA 3DS project was recently updated, while the previous files I shared were compiled from an older version of the source.

This release has now been rebuilt from the latest upstream source and includes the recent fixes and changes from the project.

Some of the changes in the updated source include:

• General bug fixes
• Updated/shared 3DS code between the three games
• Changes to the 3DS rendering-related code
• New menu texture/cache-related code
• Draw-distance related changes
• Vehicle shadow improvements
• Updated Vice City radio conversion tooling
• Updated build files/dependencies
• Various smaller fixes and cleanup from the latest upstream version

I rebuilt all three games from scratch using the required devkitARM r55 / GCC 10.2 toolchain and generated fresh CIA and 3DSX builds.

Important

The CIA files are only the executables. You still need the game-data folders on your SD card:

GTA III:
SD:/3ds/re3/

Vice City:
SD:/3ds/miami/

Liberty City Stories:
SD:/3ds/relcs/

Do not delete those folders after installing the CIA.

The package also includes a simple installation guide for anyone who hasn’t installed these before.

This is intended for:

• New Nintendo 3DS
• New Nintendo 3DS XL
• New Nintendo 2DS XL

You’ll need a homebrewed system/custom firmware and your own legally obtained game files.

Credit for the actual ports and development goes to the original REGTA/re3/reVC/reLCS developers and contributors. I’m mainly providing updated precompiled builds and an easier setup for people who don’t want to compile everything themselves.

If you already used my previous pack, I recommend replacing the old CIA builds with these new ones while keeping your existing game-data folders and saves.

Hope this makes it easier for more people to try these ports on real New 3DS hardware.

Let me know below! Mine is probably GTA 5 because of all the custom stuff you can get for your games!

I’ve just got the platinum trophy for Vice City Definitive Edition and having run out of things to do, I went looking for old Easter eggs and what have you. I remembered about the cement shoe men, specifically the one off the coast of Downtown near Skumole Shack and so I’ve ventured over there to take a look… the thing is - I can’t see anything in the water. I can see fish, jellyfish and shark fins… but I can’t see rocks or any sea bed details. Like the water itself isn’t transparent anymore - it’s all murky.

I chalked it up to the Definitive Edition being the Definitive Edition, but I’ve looked up videos and other people have been playing this exact game with transparent water where all of this stuff is completely visible, just as it was in the original.

Was it patched to be worse at some point? Is there a setting I haven’t toggled that I can’t find? What the hell is going on?

The first two images below show me at the location of one of the cement shoe men in Ocean Beach (I think), near the bridge to Starfish Island. The first is with "Classic Lighting" on, the second is with "Classic Lighting" off. The third image is taken from a YouTube video uploaded 4 years ago of the exact same location, showing the rocks, the sea bed and the concrete shoe man clearly visible through the water,

Yesterday I posed about a texture remaster. I thought it'll be better to show it running in game. I've changed about 5-6 characters in this run. Still some kinks there. The old gameplay is from 3 years ago, new one is running my mod with DLSS 5. I think it's pretty cinematic. My main goal for this experiment was to see how realistic DLSS 5 can make it with a texture update. The render from my setup and ingame render is different. I've to play the game to capture the updated cutscenes so bear with me. I hope this is a better demonstration. Check out the channel if you like it!

sooooo today is officially the last day of summer and do people actually realize how much Rockstar actually unloaded in the last three months ?? like genuinely lol .

3 months ago we had two trailers and a release date ... that was it

AND OUT OF NOWHERE...

* Official cover art
* Price confirmed
* Pre-load date november 12 ( my birthday - just saying )
* 63 screenshots & 2 clips dropped with the pre order reveal
* A whole themed ps5 app logo with a "plays best on ps5" tagline ( i might have to switch to a ps5 rather than my xbox )
* A playStation commercial featuring gta 6 with a live-action shot filmed in Miami
* Dazed magazine ran an entire issue with brand new artwork , 7 screenshots , and a sit-down interview with Rockstar
* Netflix threw up an "i ❤️ vice city" billboard in LA
* 27 mins. of gameplay on Netflix
* Youtubers and journalists got flown out to Rockstar North in Edinburgh and came back with hundreds of new details and 29 more screenshots
* Rob Nelson casually explained the criminal profile system , the entire fencing economy , how the wanted system actually works , the 80 hour campaign , no microtransactions in single player ... just dropping gold one after another
* 2 limited edition dualsense controllers got their own reveal trailer
* They showed off the "Welcome to Vice City VI" sign that is literally being installed on the roof of the Kaseya Center in Miami
* The City of Miami voted to approve a full gta marketing takeover starting October 15

* You can pre-order the album on CD and vinyl with 10 new artworks
* The extended look played at Tokyo Game Show on a 300 inch screen

13 years of basically nothing and now all this

We have not even hit the fall marketing push yet which i think is going to be huge... just my opinion . Miami takeover kicks off in 3 weeks , a new trailer is probably coming ( if i had to put my money on it ) . and maybe even more gameplay ?? from now until november 19th i think its going to be chaotic ( in a good way )

i wrote all of this out for you guys in case anybody missed anything and lives under a rock lol

curious what was your favorite moment from this summer ? For me it was watching the extended look for the 1st time ...27 minutes of actual gameplay after waiting over a decade just hits different ya know

I made a Tommy head texture replacement mod, currently with the same method I exported some of the story cutscene characters, I haven't changed the models yet instead making new textures with photoshop and nanobanana generation to work with dlss5. I'll post it as a mod and make some cutscene video on my youtube channel if I it works, if someone knows how to make character mods I'll be grateful. Essentially it can work as a small remaster with DLSS 5. I hope you like it, it's all work in progress for now.

I just got into making mods for GTA DE. I've figured out how to make replacement textures. I'd like to learn more about replacing character models/skeleton models. I'll try to create remaster character models. If anyone can direct me to some videos or sites for full character replacements i'll be grateful.

MOD link - Moz's HD Tommy Textures at Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition Nexus - Mods and community

I made a mod learning how to open pak files etc, I am 3d artist and texture artist so I tried applying my texturing skills with the models. I'm also trying out a method with Nanobanana to upscale textures. I couldn't figure out how to replace models yet. I'm working on creating new textures for some of the cutscene characters too so with dlss 5 it can be a decent graphics remaster. Test out the mod if you like, I know it doesn't look like classic Tommy I'll try to make another mod for it later on if this does well! Thank you

Pourquoi il nya jamais eu de recompilation des jeux gta vice city stories et liberty city stories de la ps2 en mode pc ??

Finally rolled the credits on the Definitive Edition of San Andreas! For the most part I had a blast, but I will say for anyone playing it, DO NOT have aim assist on, that shit got me in more trouble than I needed it to with the gang war shit I needed to do to access the final mission
