In this video we’ll be looking at the hidden measures in GTA 3, ones that were implemented by Rockstar to protect their game from piracy. Featuring @ObbeVermeij who implemented them in 2002. youtu.be/oeDisUAQ1rEIn 👈 Voiced by @BadgerGoodger

@GhillieYT There really isn't a lot of cut content in IV. Just some experiments that were abandoned at various stages or that we didn't have time for to finish. The development of IV was much more 'planned out' than the trilogy before it.

@ObbeVermeij @TJGM_ Happy Birthday, Obbe! Thank you for being with us!

@TJGM_ Thanks TJGM, Always fun talking about the old games.

Happy birthday to @ObbeVermeij, the lead technical director behind many of the GTA games! Thank you for sharing so much about the development of our favourite games! Many of us grew up with them and the transparency and knowledge is really appreciated and valuable to many of us.

People have managed to frankenstein the build so it is now running with the retails scripts. Neat.

The problem with the build is, it is mostly a "file dump". It was deleted. What is more importantly, there are no scripts meaning there is no half game. Perhaps, the scripts are still there, just degrafmented. Let's see if it is possible to restore them.

Seems an early incomplete GTA IV Xbox 360 got leaked. Neat.

🚨GTA LOST MEDIA HAS BEEN FOUND 🚨 In September 2013, Lazlow Jones (who played himself from GTA 3 - GTA 5) made an appearance on British radio station Absolute Radio to talk about GTA 5, but unfortunately, outside of a few mentions, no remnants of the interview took place. Until today that is, part one of the interview (15 minutes) found by @Azrael_Arcadia It's likely the reason only 15 minutes were found was because back around 2013, all non-partnered YouTube videos were restricted to 15 minutes maximum. The other parts of the interview are still missing unfortunately. But found media, is found media. Here's the link to part 1 of that interview: youtube.com/watch?v=OgftE9…

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! 🎄

@yates82 @ObbeVermeij @BadgerGoodger These seem to be from HP 2 sources. FH tested the delays (L1-L5), but there was no difference in the execution. CranesLoad was also sequenced, so it was one of the reasons why they missed it. I didn't mention it in the video, because an average viewer would fall asleep from it.

@NationalPepper @ObbeVermeij @BadgerGoodger here is some more trivia, the encrypted functions overhead could be fine tuned. this is from the Safedisc API. not sure why anyone would want a 10 second overhead :D I dont think encryption of recursive markers was a thing, deviance probably just over looked a function. 1/2

See you tomorrow. GMT+2 time.

Grand Theft Auto IV finally has Dynamic License Plates! We're happy to reveal LibertyCityPlates, a mod by Shvab, CP and myself. This also includes vehicle specific plates such as Taxis, Police, Biker, Ambulance, etc AND even state plates for Alderney! nexusmods.com/gta4/mods/875

@CooperSanders15 @BadgerGoodger Funny thing is, I mention Myth release in the video and there was a problem with it. 🙃

@NationalPepper @BadgerGoodger GTA 3 had anti-piracy measures?! I remember playing a pirated version by MYTH and I didn’t really encounter any anti-piracy measures besides missing radio stations. Either way, I’ll wait and see!

Do it if you want to support my work. The early access also gives me an opportunity to correct something in the video before it goes LIVE.

New video! Earlier this year, a style guide for Manhunt was found that showed off some early ideas, and @ObbeVermeij was kind enough to answer some questions I had about the game when it was being worked on. Thank you, Obbe! youtu.be/dZuw-7EzDT4

New video! Just some random thoughts of Dan Houser leaving Rockstar, games taking a long time to make, books vs games, and some of the union busting allegations at his old company. youtu.be/Z71PG1qRK2M

Welp, I guess my videocard is dying.
