Last week, a relic version of the People’s project Re3 appeared, the main goal of which is by reverse engineering to create the source code Grand Theft Auto III And Vice City. Unfortunately, everything ended predictably: representatives came Take-Two and demanded to delete a project due to copyright violations.

Eurogamer talked with one of the developers RE3 under the nickname Aap. According to him, it is likely that the complaint on the DMCA system to Github issued some kind of troll, but, until the opposite is proved, it is better to treat the demand as the present. AAP may give an objection, but it is worried that in this case the case will reach the court – and in court it is more expensive to compete with a large corporation.

AAP says that in the https://luckukcasino.co.uk/games/ course of RE3 production, the team drew attention to a similar project on Super Mario 64. They also collected the source code through the reverse engineering, however Nintendo did not file complaints. If already Nintendo, known for her harsh attitude to amateur creations, granted life to self -packing, then with Take-Two An attack of corporate kindness may occur, the creators of RE3 hoped.

There were other security measures. Firstly, the developers of the project did not encourage piracy or illegal commercial use-RE3 could not be launched without asses of original games. It was assumed that gamers would take files from legally purchased versions GTAIII And Vice City. Secondly, the team tried not to advertise the creation of Re3 in order to maintain invisibility. But when it appeared GTAIII for Switch based on RE3, the public drew attention to the project. At that moment Take-Two I did not send complaints – the developers considered it a good sign.

Hopes did not materialize: Re3 has already been deleted with GitHub. How to develop a home-made code after a DMCA unit, the authors do not yet know. They also planned to assemble Relcs – source code Liberty City Stories With PlayStation Portable. This project started in January 2021, but what will happen to it now is unknown.

The development of Re3 would correct many technical roughnesses GTAIII And Vice City – For example, incorrect work of physics at 60 fps. In addition, access to the source code greatly simplifies the development of thorough modifications and allows you to detect the game on new platforms.
