A project to reverse-engineer Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City has been taken down. The fans behind the undertaking were served with a DMCA notice from what seems to be Rockstar parent company Take Two.
As reported by Eurogamer, the team who rebuilt the source code for both open-world games, and put it online for any players and fans to use, received a takedown this week. The document, viewable on GitHub, claims to be from someone at Take-Two, who says this work is "not licensed in any way," and that "the best and only solution is complete removal of the aforementioned pages," alongside a list of files to be removed.
GitHub apparently took down these files immediately, though the project lead isn't certain this is from Take-Two, they feel it's "better to assume it's real." The project, re3 and reVC - reverse-engineered GTA 3 and reverse-engineered Vice City, respectively - meant modders and developers could alter the crime games in a way previously unforeseen, fixing and altering and generally making them better and more user-friendly. Loading screens have been removed or reduced, controller compatibility has been enhanced, widescreen support and more are among the features implemented thanks to these new versions.
