“Take-Two Interactive has never authorized or given consent to defendants to use their copyrighted works in the manner complained of herein,” notes the lawsuit.

Using cheats is very easy, and this guide will teach you how. Take-Two Interactive is also not happy that re3 and reVC have received new features such as reduced loading times and visual improvements, including togglable “new cheats which are strictly prohibited under terms of service.” Cheats are a prime way to squeeze extra hours out of the three titles in the GTA trilogy (GTA 3, GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas), which already contain an immense amount of content on their own. The lawsuit further alleges that the the modding project is causing “irreparable harm” since the modders have “enabled countless others to now create their own unauthorized, derivative versions” of GTA 3 and GTA Vice City. The reverse-engineering process also does not use any original game assets such as soundtracks or images, but does introduce improvements missing from the original versions.Īccording to court documents obtained earlier today, Take-Two Interactive believes that the Grand Theft Auto reverse-engineering fan-project infringes upon its copyrights. It's also unlikely that Grand Theft Auto 3 will feature purchasable properties or the ability to work out in different gyms like San Andreas does.

The modders however returned a couple of months back in June to resume their work since reverse-engineering GTA 3 and GTA Vice City technically falls into a grey area, at least according to them.īoth re3 and reVC attempt to recreate GTA 3 and GTA Vice City by writing new code instead of using any leaked, original source code. It's unlikely Grand Theft Auto 3's pager will be replaced with a cell phone, even though both San Andreas and Vice City feature mobile phones (and, curiously, both take place BEFORE GTA 3 canonically).

Take-Two Interactive had already filed a take-down notice earlier in the year for both “re3” and “reVC” projects. Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of developer Rockstar Games, has filed a lawsuit against a group of modders responsible for reverse-engineering GTA 3 and GTA Vice City as part of a massive fan-led modding project.
