GTA III for Android hits 1.3, brings Liberty City to the Transformer Prime
Select iOS and Android devices have had the ability to terrorize Liberty City while on-the-go since December, but sadly those with Transformer Primes thus far have been left out of all that fun. Luckily, an update to the game ends that double standard, enabling Rockstar's classic to run on ASUS' tablet and Medion Lifetabs everywhere. It doesn't just bring expanded hardware support to the table though, as amongst other "technical fixes," the release also heralds new video display settings, Immersion haptics support and the capability of installing the game on a SD card. And fans of tactility, know that controls on the Xperia Play have been reworked, and it now boasts full support for GameStop's wireless controller. Still here? You shouldn't be -- grab the update in the source link below.
New cars, textures modded into Grand Theft Auto 3 on Android
While we're not sure if the Android version of GTA 3 is as disappointing as it is on iPad, it does have one perk over its iOS cousin: mods. Many have discovered modding the Android port is much like modding the PC game -- one can simply add files to the directory on the SD card. As a result, it's fairly easy to add custom cars -- a souped-up taxi can be seen in the video above -- and textures, granted one is familiar with modding on the PC. One XDA developer thread in particular has tons of files and custom cars if you'd like to start sprucing up Rockstar's classic game.
Dan Houser looks back on GTA 3, ten years later
Did you know that GTA 3 has 8,000 lines of recorded dialogue? Did you know that the events of September 11, 2001 forced the game to be delayed and altered at the last second? All of this, and more, is part of an IGN interview with Rockstar's Dan Houser that looks back on one of the most famous games ever created, Grand Theft Auto 3. "We couldn't come into the office for five days because there were roadblocks up. It was a practical issue, we couldn't do any work," Houser said of the time immediately following the terrorist attack. As far as changes to the game post-9/11, not much was actually edited out of the game. "I think one mission got removed. There was a non-interactive jumbo jet, just to give some life to the sky, that looked like it could pass through a building. That got adjusted, and a few lines of radio dialogue in the talk show. We were really very sensitive to stuff though because we'd watched on our doorstep, you know?" The events of 9/11 affected more than just the contents of the game; it made Rockstar change the box art for North America at the last second, overnight. "What's become the very staple of our marketing and presentation was done in an evening as a response to 9/11," Houser said. The iconic style of the box art has been uniform ever since. Grand Theft Auto 3 is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary with ports to the iOS and Android platforms.
