Take care to bring the old game, here! Avoid the sheety "remaster", at all costs, please! This is an iconic game, a pioneer of the genre, a living legend if you will! Treat it with the respect it deserves, now...
I want this game and the original Trilogy to be enjoyed by everyone. Having both the Definitive Edition and the original version it would be amazing, the same way we have the Bioshock games not only selling their remasters but also allowing players to own a copy of the original release to discover how different and unique these versions are. GTA3 was a mass success and it deserves a place in GOG.
I will be very direct I wasn't crazy for GTA 2D Universe games myself. Yes I did give em a try just wasn't my thing out of respect. Then I gotten to play GTA III on PS2 and Xbox original a little later. This game blew my mind among the first PS2 games I owned. This was a dramatically transformation going from 2D to 3D. At the same time, they recreated the experience in a way that's fun for everyone. Yes there's some difficulty spikes if you aren't using cheats. GTA III does have a great campaign. A very decent lineup of characters with great voice actors. You simply could rewatch the cut scenes. Instantly it feels like you're watching a great movie. There's plenty of secrets hidden around the map. The soundtrack is among my favorites back when I was into the franchise. The sound effects are truly amazing. Considering it's among the best selling game franchises ever!!! The original version of GTA III going to sell incredibly well on GOG. I don't think the newer version going to come close. GOG wants to deliver the best games in the absolute best possible way. Sometimes that means giving people the classic versions over newer ones. In this case is a rather wise idea. GTA III is a game that holds up amazingly well. It started GTA 3D Universe which is my favorite GTA universe. This game is a great entry point for newer GTA fans.
Bestes GTA Ever, mehr muss ich nicht dazu sagen! Die 2D Spiele von GTA haben mir nie gefallen, aber die 3D Versionen, Waaaooow!
Teil 3 hat einen besonderen Platz in meinem Herzen, habe es damals auf der PS2 gespielt! Bombe!
grałem tą część po polsku na kompie z XP a chciałbym żeby była wydana po polsku ta część gry bo już sama grafika i muzyka jest ciekawe w niej gra się fajnie i rozumie misje całkiem .
I've never experienced the story of Grand Theft Auto 3 before, and for my first time of this game, I don't want it to be the remaster. I want it to be the original version of the game because not only do I want to appreciate the third game in the series, I also want to appreciate the video game that truly pioneered 3D video games as we know them.

**Why the Original PC Version of GTA III Needs to Be on GOG and How It Changed 3D Gaming Forever**
The original *Grand Theft Auto III* for PC is a landmark title that transformed the gaming landscape when it was released in 2002. Bringing this legendary version to GOG is essential for both preservation and accessibility. Unlike remastered editions, the original PC release captures the raw, gritty essence of Liberty City with its uncensored soundtrack, radio stations, and character designs—elements that were altered or removed in later versions.
GTA III didn't just redefine its own series—it revolutionized 3D open-world gaming as a whole. It was the first game to give players a truly immersive sandbox city where you could drive, explore, and interact freely in a living, breathing world. It combined cinematic storytelling, a massive explorable environment, and emergent gameplay in a way that had never been done before.
Every major open-world game since owes something to GTA III’s design—whether it's *Assassin’s Creed*, *Saints Row*, *Watch Dogs*, or *Red Dead Redemption*. It laid the foundation for modern urban sandbox games and set a new standard for freedom in gameplay.
Releasing the original PC version on GOG would ensure that this historically important game is preserved in its purest form—without DRM, with full mod support, and optimized for today’s hardware. It’s not just about nostalgia; it’s about honoring one of the most important milestones in gaming history. GTA III on GOG is overdue.
TBH I really can not get along very well with the new version of the game it took the original soul and atmosphere of the game the dark foggy and some times chaotic atmosphere
