Kotaku reported last month that the three remasters were being developed by Rockstar Dundee (formerly Ruffian Games) and worked on in Unreal Engine.
If it does get finished, it'll be the first time that game has had a proper PC port.This content is hosted on an external platform, which will only display it if you accept targeting cookies. The future of aap's current target, a reverse-engineering project for 2005 PlayStation Portable game Liberty City Stories dubbed reLCS, is now up in the air. We took that as a sign that they don't care (or are really blind)."Īap had considered the fact the Super Mario 64 reverse-engineering project was still up on GitHub as a good sign "because Nintendo is about as aggressive as Take-Two in these matters". "We got a lot of attention when the Switch port happened but nothing from Take-Two. "Yes, we were very much worried about that and tried to stay under the radar for as long as possible," aap said. So, I asked, was the team worried about an intervention? "We do not encourage piracy or commercial use," aap wrote on GitHub.īut Take-Two and Rockstar have a reputation for taking a hard-line with fan remakes and others who tinker with their code. And aap had stressed on GitHub that the code should only be used for educational, documentation and modding purposes. re3 requires PC game assets to work, so you must own a copy of GTA 3. When I covered re3 and reVC this week, I wondered whether Take-Two would come calling.
"No idea how exactly the project will continue, we'll see," aap said. It seems he is currently trying to find out the nature of the claim before working out what to do next. He can file a counterclaim, but he's worried this may spark a lawsuit. But better to assume it's real."Īap is now faced with a dilemma. "It's not impossible it's just a troll," he said. Project lead aap tells Eurogamer he's not sure the DMCA takedown is actually from Take-Two. The re3 project is now the subject of a DMCA takedown on GitHub. All files have now been removed, seemingly automatically by GitHub. The DMCA on GitHub claims the project uses copyrighted materials owned by Take-Two, and that this use is "unauthorized and it should be removed immediately". This morning, the project's chief creator alerted Eurogamer to a DMCA takedown, supposedly from Rockstar parent company Take-Two, that has hauled both re3 and reVC offline.
