One of the more welcome surprises of last year was the revelation that GTA 3 would be unofficially ported to the Sega Dreamcast. Developed by a team led by SKMP and built using KallistiOS software, the initial port of GTA 3 was an incredible example of what Sega’s 128-bit console is capable of in the right hands.
Recently, this same developer announced that they’ve now begun work on bringing GTA: Vice City to Dreamcast. Early development footage shows a game that’s still very much in its early stages—graphical issues and no sound are evident—but fans remain optimistic about the prospects of this retro masterpiece making it fully playable on the platform.
The original GTA: Vice City launched on PlayStation 2 (PS2) in 2002, eventually selling a staggering 14.2 million copies across all formats and reaching over 17.5 million total sales.
Have you played the GTA 3 Dreamcast port? What are your hopes for this Vice City port?
Haven’t played the GTA3 Dreamcast port yet… it always felt more like tech demo than an actual game to me, especially after playing Vice City.
Will definitely give it a go at some point in the future, though - hopefully?
