It is a fact that GTA is one of the biggest game franchises in the world. But before Grand Theft Auto 3 When it went on sale in 2001, the franchise was a simpler affair, albeit often fraught with media controversy.
The third installment is widely regarded as one of the best open world games of the PS2 era and helped push things in the direction fans know and love today. However, it’s been a couple of decades since Rockstar released that installment, so it would be interesting to see what the game would look like today.
But you don’t need to keep imagining, because the YouTube channel, TeaserPlay, has managed to a faithful reimagining of Grand Theft Auto 3 in Unreal Engine 5. The teaser shows a much more detailed Liberty City, and Claude’s character model looks impressively modernized.
The purpose of the video, according to the description, is to show the power of EU5, and it succeeds, with much more modern visual effects and magnificent lighting. Unfortunately this is just a concept and the creator is not working on an actual remake.
It’s also not the first time that TeaserPlay has reimagined one of the classic games of GTA. Recently, he also showed what Vice City could look like in Unreal Engine 5. The feeling is that although official remasters were released last year, these videos demonstrate what could have been.
Grand Theft Auto – Definitive Edition has gone down in history as one of the most disastrous releases in recent video game history, and while it appears to have been improved somewhat, many fans feel that it could have been much better.
Of course, it helps that TeaserPlay made these concept trailers in UE5. The engine itself is one of the most powerful and ubiquitous game development tools out there, even Unreal Engine 5 is being used to create many future titles, such as the new The Witcher game.
