GAME INFO
The GTA 3 Beautification Project is a small enhancement guide with step-by-step instructions for modding the 5th Grand Theft Auto game. It will fix a lot of issues with regards to newer computer systems and significantly improve both graphics & effects. Grand Theft Auto 3 is not designed to be modified, but it's still possible with the use of some editing tools. The game was released in 2001, and the graphics and mechanics are very far from current day GTA games. With this modification guide, GTA 3 will get better textures & lighting plus a new custom shader for better image quality.
Grand Theft Auto 3 was the first GTA game to be made in 3D. It was a huge step from GTA 1 & 2, but it still managed to keep the same level of detain and atmosphere. GTA 3 was a milestone in the series, and became the template for future GTA games. It takes place in the fictional place of Liberty City, which is based upon the real world New York City. Same place as GTA IV. GTA III was the last game to be developed by DMA Design before RockStar Games took over. It was released in 2001 after a short delay due to the 9/11 attacks, as some content had to be removed.
Grand Theft Auto 3 - Maps
Grand Theft Auto III plot:
During the getaway from a successful bank robbery in Liberty City, the player,
Claude is betrayed by Catalina, who shoots him and leaves with the money. Claude is
on his way to
prison, but the transport is ambushed by Mexican cartel members and the player
manages to escape along with another prisoner by the name of
8-Ball. After getting to a safe-house, 8-Ball introduces Claude to the Leone Mafia
crime family and the S Club 7 owner Luigi. From here the player slowly works his
way up in the ranks of the Liberty City Mafia, and establishes a name for
himself.
GTA 3, also known as Grand Theft Auto III, is a critically acclaimed open-world
action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar
Games. The game was first released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2, and later for
other platforms such as Xbox and PC.
One of the defining features of GTA 3 is its vast open-world environment, which
allows players to explore the fictional city of Liberty City and engage in
various activities such as carjacking, mission-based gameplay, and side
activities. The game's open-world design was a major departure from the previous
games in the series, which were more linear in nature.
The story of GTA 3 revolves around a character named Claude, who is betrayed by
his girlfriend and left for dead. He then sets out on a mission of revenge,
working his way up the criminal hierarchy of Liberty City. The game's story is
told through a combination of cutscenes and in-game dialogue, and features a
diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique personalities and
motivations.
One of the most notable things about the game is its level of freedom, players
can engage in a variety of activities and side missions, such as taxi driving,
vigilante missions, and firefighting. The game also features a variety of
weapons and vehicles for players to use, each with their own unique properties
and handling.
The graphics of GTA 3 were groundbreaking for its time, featuring a high level
of detail and realism in the character models and environments. The game's use
of lighting and special effects also helped to create a more immersive
experience.
The game's development was headed by Rockstar North, which had previously
developed the top-down Grand Theft Auto games. The team worked on the game for
several years, and it went through several iterations before its final release.
Overall, GTA 3 is considered to be one of the most influential and
groundbreaking games of all time. Its open-world design and level of freedom
have influenced countless other games in the genre, and it continues to be a fan
favorite to this day. If you are looking for a game that offers a truly unique
and immersive experience, then GTA 3 is definitely worth checking out.
