Homebrew re3-wiiu - GTA III Wii U Port

"GitHub has restored a fork of the fan-made “Re3” project that published reverse-engineered code of the popular GTA 3 and Vice City games. The action follows a counter-notice sent by a third-party developer in response to Take-Two Interactive's takedown. Github followed the DMCA procedure and isn't publicly taking sides."

Oh snap, I hope that means development is back on

I'll wait and see how take-two will react.

i assume any hope of a reVC port is on ice until the shit with T2 is sorted?

Yeah, not really motivated to work on something that might never be able to be legally released.

 

[DarthBellic]

i dont blame ya man lol

 

[Nimrod-002]

how much space do i need on the sd? and is the conversion process necessary? can you skip it and use the models file as is?

 

[Purple_Heart]

GTA 3 autoconverts the files (the old pc version did that aswell) it shouldnt be skipped

This so awesome I can not even say thank you enough times man!!!! From the moment I read about the re3 project I always dreamed of one day porting it to the GameCube or Wii....hoping they might be powerfull enough to run it ofcourse. I really have no idea if they can...never looked into the memory requirements.

I have tested it on my Wii U from the SD card and played on through the first couple of missions. This brings back sooooo many memories I must have bought this game so many times over and over...just like GTA 5 I guess. For the PC, PS2, on steam...en more recently on the PS4 I think.

Great work man! I really hope the issue with take two get resolved.

Hell yeah dude, I've been itching to play Vice City again, would love to see that playthrough be on my Wii U.

Currently struggling with a bug regarding animations. Once that's fixed I can upload a pre-release for testing.
Also I'm doing this in my freetime so I usually don't have ETAs regarding releases.

 

[hunter26]

No rush, thanks for your times and efforts for this. I really appreciate.

 

[GaryOderNichts]

I uploaded a pre-release for Vice City which might contain a few bugs and issues. If you test the pre-release, please report any issues here, so they can be fixed for the full release.

I have been playing ~1 hour straight and seems stable so far, no single crash, unlike every other port to consoles. Performance seems to suffer a bit from I/O I'd say, but it's perfectly playable.

Minor problems I have seen: LOD models in cinematics seem weird, I have to compare them with the original game, and sometimes particle alpha effects (rain on screen) are opaque.

Edit: Oh, and Ammu-Nation weapon selection control seem to work wrong. You have to circle the joystick clockwise in order to move the selection to the right and counterclockwise to the left.

@GaryOderNichts Awesome work thank you. I really hope some one like Modern Vintage Gamer picks this up and does a video! Have you got a list of known issues with GTA3 that you are looking to work through? Likewise do you know anyone that has completed the game on this port?

Keep up the great work - the WiiU lives!
