Frogbull | GTA 3 is on DREAMCAST... Let's take a ride in Liberty City! 🚗 @Frogbull55 | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 minutes ago.
Several people rightly pointed out that I used the term "Playable" in the title of my previous video to refer to skmp's amazing regta3dc project, when in fact, it wasn't really playable... 😅

I could have changed the title of my video, but instead, against all logic and good programming practices, I decided to play Conan the Barbarian in the game's source code by employing numerous dirty hacks: reducing vehicles and pedestrians, modifying LOD distances, and so forth, but as you can see, it's now PLAYABLE... 😈

Don't worry, I've also made a few hacks that aren't as messy and don't impact gameplay, like reducing the number of particles and debris, for example.

I also discovered that the PS2 and PC models were different (the PS2 3D models have fewer triangles!), and I'm thrilled to have been able to import the PS2 3D model of the game's starting vehicle (the good old Kuruma, for those in the know 😎) instead of the PC version previously used. Pushing this further will undoubtedly lead to even better performance!

The video has no editing at all apart from the music overlaid (for now, regta3dc does not handle audio).

For years, skeptics questioned whether the Dreamcast could handle GTA III, echoing doubts similar to those faced by the Sega Saturn. Now, it's time to rewrite the narrative and demonstrate what "Dreams come true" truly means! 💪
