In this video we’ll be looking at the hidden measures in GTA 3, ones that were implemented by Rockstar to protect their game from piracy. Featuring @ObbeVermeij who implemented them in 2002.

With the power of AI, we can convert assets of anything we want from PS3 , Xbox 360 to PC and vice versa, . I converted interiors and peds from 2012 coming from the PS3 devkit: Snow Ped Female North Yankton, Spy Villain, Ruffus Bellows, and North Yankton FIB, magenta interior.

If you enjoy enjoy Half-Life 1 beta content, then I would highly recommend to watch this detailed video about 0.52 prototype build.

I am still alive. The reason why I am so inactive is because I barely have free time. Not the best period of my life.
Fire_Head has just released ParticleEx, an extension for GTA 3/VC that brings PS2/Xbox particle effects to PC.

It restores water splashes during the rain.
Also greatly increases smoke effect. Perhaps you didn't know that there is a smoke cloud after exiting Yardie Lobo.

I just want to lay out in the sun," showcasing a restored ambient voice line. The SilentPatch July 31st 2026 logo with the text "Summertime yapness" appears at the top.

After 3 years of work, it’s finally here.
My new game Plentiful launched in Early Access today.
It’s a sandbox where every change has consequences —
too many trees drain the water, one spark can burn everything.
It’s a bit different — we’ll see what people make of it.

Replying to @GhillieYT
There really isn't a lot of cut content in IV. Just some experiments that were abandoned at various stages or that we didn't have time for to finish. The development of IV was much more 'planned out' than the trilogy before it.
People have managed to frankenstein the build so it is now running with the retails scripts. Neat.
The problem with the build is, it is mostly a "file dump". It was deleted. What is more importantly, there are no scripts meaning there is no half game.
Perhaps, the scripts are still there, just degrafmented. Let's see if it is possible to restore them.

🚨GTA LOST MEDIA HAS BEEN FOUND 🚨
In September 2013, Lazlow Jones (who played himself from GTA 3 - GTA 5) made an appearance on British radio station Absolute Radio to talk about GTA 5, but unfortunately, outside of a few mentions, no remnants of the interview took place.
Until today that is, part one of the interview (15 minutes) found by @Azrael_Arcadia
It's likely the reason only 15 minutes were found was because back around 2013, all non-partnered YouTube videos were restricted to 15 minutes maximum. The other parts of the interview are still missing unfortunately.
But found media, is found media.
Here's the link to part 1 of that interview: youtube.com/watch?v=OgftE9Ec…
