The fan-made Dreamcast version of GTA 3 is looking way better in the latest look, introducing tech that “would’ve previously been a slideshow”

I, like many others, am not over the premature death of the Sega Dreamcast. Any console that brought Dynamite Cop to the home deserved a better shot, but the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube (but let’s be real, mostly the PS2) were too powerful for it, and that was that. Although, if anything could have saved the Dreamcast, it would’ve been GTA 3. The game was originally in the works for Sega’s platform, and a group of developers are looking to correct the timeline and bring the game to the Dreamcast over 20 years later.

While the GTA 3 Dreamcast port released a playable build late last year, the development team hasn’t given up on improving the version (despite already working on a port of Vice City for the platform). While the previous demo was undoubtedly impressive, it was a bit rough; the framerate was choppy, and there were a ton of jaggies. However, the new look at the port that developer Falco Girgis shared on Twitter blows it out of the water. The new look shows the game running far smoother, with less texture pop-in, all while having what seems to be a more populated world.
