Action against remakes of GTA III and Vice City

–

Re3 is an open source remake of the old games GTA III and GTA: Vice City. It appeared in February, and soon after, their GitHub repository was blocked due to the announcement of Take-Two, which owns Gstar’s Rockstar company. The Re3 developers have appealed and repositories are still available today.

However, Take-Two last week passed on to Re3 developers action. The developers have used reverse engineering of the original game, but the original files that are not on GitHub are needed to play. However, Rockstar is preparing its own remake of its old GTA Remastered Trilogy games, so it is defending its code.
