I completed 1.40 once and I was surprised at the end being stuck at 98%. The other things I noticed I was the Bomb Da Base cutscene counting as a mission, the camera in the stunt jump, the mention of terrorists in Kingdom Come and Catalina's dialogue at the end. I thought the I designed the PS2 guy was in every version and I discovered the absence of the checkpoint sounds much later. Overall, would not recommend this build as outside of Catalina's extra line, the PS2 guy and the new Dodo flight path, there is nothing particularly interesting and it's just more buggy.

There’s actually a way to get 100% at the PAL v1.40 version - complete Paramedic Level 12 a total of 3 times!

​@@VitZ9DVDs are 4.7 GB, CDs are 750 MB. However, it was quite common in PSX and early PS2 days to use dummy files as a way to "defragment" optical discs so the laser seek time would be lowered.

Only the "Xbox" version of Gta 3 had good graphics. I still prefer the Ps2 version. Because I love blocky character models and undetailed vehicle models. The mechanics are quite limited. Of course, these mechanics were acceptable for their time. But the random fun of the game is probably the main reason why Gta 3 is still playable. And of course nostalgia.

You're incorrect about the building in Chinatown. It wasn't there was a smaller building. There originally wasn't a building there at all but a road that connected Chinatown to Hepburn heights. There was originally a main drag that ran all the way down Portland from the Callahan Bridge to the crusher. (which is where the "Go to the bank off the main drag" line comes from in the bank job mission for Joey Leone). According to a former Rockstar developer they had to rearrange the buildings and add the alleyway in to slow the player down because if the player drove a fast car down it they would start noticing the buildings struggling to load in quickly enough. They said they fixed these streaming asset issues by the time they made GTA San Andreas where they no longer had this issue.

[@MattJ155]

[@AdisPlays]

I know 1,40 is quite rare but it’s still possible to come by if you’re lucky and just keep looking online by private sellers. I spent around an hour by just going through the different auctions by zooming in on the disc to check if the # wasn’t present and it was around 2% of the discs. And the good thing about the UK is that you can tell it easily tell by the disc, but on EU copies it might be harder because some copies look the same like 1,60 and the only way to tell is to buy it and put it inside your PC and open the file to see if it’s 1,40 or 1,60 so that’s a good thing to keep in mind. The fun thing was that when I bought the 1,40 disc the seller got surprised it got bought because there were other auctions for much cheaper and they still had the MAP in the box. If only he knew 😂

[@VitZ9]

​@@chriscollins550 There is no pre 9/11 release. It was always an October release, but 9/11 delayed it a few weeks. You mean the pre-911 build, 1.40, which was released after 9/11 as the original GTA3. You're lucky you live in the UK and they didn't accept it, because in Australia 1.40 was banned, and if you took it into a store they have the right to confiscate it from you. Stores even asked you to return the game if you'd purchased it, and presumably some parents did. Thankfully I didn't, so I still have 1.40 and Manhunt on the PS2.

[@PSXDRIVERPLAYERBSTH]

I've heard that there are some stealth versions of v1.60 as discs which lack the sign "#", surefire way to know which variant one has is to check it with a PC, opening the "SYSTEM" -file to Notepad (I wonder if that was done on those promos seen briefly). It tells what revision it is. I have both v1.40 and v1.60, the first one as "/EURO" disc, since I'm not in the UK. I recall the other v1.60 is "/UK#" and the other is just "#" - two of these are Finnish packagings. This is because there's 3 different map designs with the game. Also the v1.40 normal completion is accurately around 98.7%. Because the game expects you to do two more things (calculate the ratio between expectations and what there is brings you 154/156 if I recall this right). Doing the ambulance missions over and over, this can be achieved as that objective point is never disabled after completing it. With this, you can actually get even more than 100% in v1.40 though. (Also why are people in these comments saying Firefighter has to be done only once somewhere, it has to be done once on each island to reach 100%, dammit.)

[@thegreat1007]

That "brad" pedestrian is well known for doing that... making up false claims just to impress everybody. Thats his whole thing😂

[@TerminatorZXY]

17:06 - The thing is, there's a reason why this is the case, and ironically the same bug that prevents you from reaching 100%, you can "abuse" the similar bug to also get 100%. The catch is: To complete the game at 100%, you need to complete the Paramedic missions - 12 levels in a row - 3 times. So basically 2 more additional times compared to normal. You can do it on any island however. I've done this, to make it less boring I completed it on each island. If someone wants my save I can provide. The reason it will be stuck at 98% is because, well, let me explain. In GTA 3 (and similarly in all 3D era games), you get the same % for each task complete, let's call them "percentage checkpoint". E.g. you get one each mission you pass, each side mission you pass, each stunt jump, each import/export mission, every 10 hidden packages etc. The total amount of these "percentage checkpoints" is 154, so you get roughly ~0.649% per each checkpoint. However in version 1.40, 100% completion requires 156 completion checkpoints when only 154 are actually attainable, and each checkpoint is actually worth a little less in this version, ~0.641%. How does it happen? Well the Paramedic missions are slightly bugged when it comes to this, this still partially remains in the final version. It was supposed to give out 3 total "percentage checkpoints" but it only gives out 1, by completing level 12. The two bugged "percentage checkpoints" are supposed to appear here: • When you complete level 8 OR even just rescue 43 patients - i.e. when get the health pickup reward at your safehouse. • When you rescue 78 patients - i.e. when you get the adrenaline pickup at your safehouse. And the third one that actually works, and works too well (I will explain why), like I said, is when you complete level 12. I don't know the exact reason why they are bugged, but my theory is that he game rewarding the player health/adrenaline makes the counter think it's a "percentage checkpoint", but they weren't supposed to be so, so no percentage is given to the player. Maybe a developer oversight. And either way they're pointless because you wouldn't be able to get the final one because it requires you to complete level 12 anyway (which you need to do in one sitting). Anyway, the reason why it works too well, is that there's another percentage bug in it, which you can use in your favor on the version 1.40. As I said, you have to complete the Paramedic missions two additional times to get 100%. But it doesn't end there. Actually you can keep going infinitely, the mission will keep giving you the "percentage checkpoint" and you can use it to get over 100%. And this still prevalent in the version 1.60, but it's gonna be extremely rare that anyone wants to replay that awful mission on their save so not many people even tried. And if you do complete it ONE time, your percentage won't change - it will be 100.649% internally, but the game will still just display it as 100% because the game rounds it always to the lower number. You would need to do it twice to actually see 101%, which makes it even less likely. The reason why this happens is whoever did the code. forgot to make it so that the "percentage checkpoint" is only given out once, the first time you complete 12 levels, and not again. Nothing in the game checks if you've completed it already, so it gives it to you again.

[@EverythingAboutGTA3]

I remember one thing but keep in mind I'm not sure if I remember this correctly and if this is a difference between PS2 1.40 and PS2 1.60, or difference between PC 1.0 vs 1.1. I remember there was a difference in the mission script where in one version (probably the old one), the mission "Kingdom Come" would not be unlocked until the mission "Grand Theft Aero" is completed. In terms of lore this makes more sense because during the final cutscene (when Claude returns to the construction site) that's when Catalina learns that Claude is actually still alive (remember how she says in a surprise "You!? I left you pouring your heart out into the gutter."). Then the rest is clear - she teams up with King Courtney to come up with this plan to blow Claude up. But don't take my word for it as I might be remembering something wrong. If anybody has more info on this please feel free to comment ;)

And seems it isn't an easier way of getting the physical 1.40, as someone has stated just now actually. ISO still is easy to find.

[@VitZ9]

Not exactly an easier way to get it though. Those versions were ordered to be returned by the stores selling the games for the censored 1.60 due to that whole controversy about the game at the time. If you purchased the game in Australia during the first month, you have 1.40, anything after that is 1.60. Source: I worked at Harvey Norman at the time. GTA3 was such a big deal, everyone wanted to play it, we basically sold out of 1.40 in the first three days. We got a second shipment, and a few weeks later headquarters sent the email out we needed to return whatever stock was left. So I sent back the stock records, changed them to say we were sold out, took a copy for myself, and sold the last 5 or so to collectors on eBay for $150 AUD. 😉

15:24 You can still see her mouth move even after the line is cut off, so yeah it looks like they quickly chopped it but didn't bother to fix the lip sync for it.

[@SeaCretinAction]

Nice video, thanks! I think that’s actually a picture of my game disc that you shared. I’m gonna go check out the differences you mentioned as wasn’t aware of some.

[@fallvec1423]

Now that I recall there’s not a lot of swearing in gta 3 compared to the other games, maybe that’s why that line from Catalina was remove? Idk I could be wrong

[@XGPLAYZ]

🤙

[@frankalbers2367]

Catalina has her original head from PS2 version which looks like the artwork on the cover

[@joncarlos716]

I had the double pack for Xbox probably never see anything from 1.40

[@patrickkasprik2444]

A cut scene is unskippable wowowow glad you made this vid. Lmao dude get out and get a wife, stop collecting video games.

[@kaiserkitsune9393]

all this time I never realized that I played on a different version of GTA 3

[@PlayPrey]

Apparently I've only played 1.40

[@SeranaTheStudent]

I think I might have had the 1.4 game. I think it got stolen or overused. Never 100% finished that version

[@edwinfox4625]

@MattJ155 Is SLES-50330/UK# the same as your copy Matt?

[@mrman2476]

This is misinformation! That guy clearly designed the PS2!

[@callumjames3696]

Did anyone get to the second island without dying or getting busted having intentionally not triggered the cut scene to see if it shows you one in the other city not the first? I did try as a kid but gave up

[@MatejaHD9]

From Polyphony Digital to Rockstar Games😭😭🙏🙏

[@SuperflyGaming]

I had 1.4 and managed to get 100%?

[@panterarosa4325]

I have the 1.40 version of gta 3 on ps2 with a burned 4.7 gb dvd

[@sbrader97]

Damn I think I had that version as a kid then as I remember that unskippable wasted cutscene

[@HansBelphegor]

Well i *had* 1.40 but lost it about 8 years ago

[@Maximus20778]

Please do more gta vids. You can definitely get more views this way

[@ozzyboiswaggin604]

My copy weird I bought it yesterday it’s sles Uk without the hashtag I can skip the cutscenes the patriot mission makes sounds but it’s to hard for me to finish so I haven’t tried it all yet however I saw a plane flying over the middle of Portland next to the buildings but it also didn’t really look like the dodo it looked bigger (it was dark tho)imma try out more tomorrow if I see any other changes

[@JEWNITED-SNAKES-OF-WEIMAR]

?

[@Jdeadevil]

Fuck the Kingdom Come mission lol

[@Medachod]

Was hoping it had the blue cop cars.

[@superdepressif6047]

i had a french version the wasted cutscene were unskippable :o

[@Casketkrusher_]

Me and my friend have this first version we bought it at release but my dad kept it as a Christmas gift for 2001 so I could only play it briefly at my friends house. I basically could pick games beforehand whenever I had my birthday or Christmas coming up. I miss my dad.

[@nahumdvnc7]

Yep we had this version on ps2! My unk terry got it for us at toys are use!

[@Mangomesh]

I bought this games on release, it looks like I got the newer version 😂

[@СлучайныйПользователь-ф2ц]

I know that in some releases in the mission where Claude got introduced to Salvatore Leone Joey drove to the don in his work clothes rather than in smoking.That was probably 1.40 version.

[@eliashalvarsson8349]

Daaang, then I had the 1.4 version, hated the cut scenes xD

[@li_B4shar_il]

I have this version of the game, I love playing earlier versions of PS2 games because they tend to have a lot of stuff not cut out from them

[@TordaiJenoArthurJenci]

I heard I designed the PS2 on the PC version 1.60 back in the day and recently

[@JKentF]

Ok so I never completed GTA3 to 100% back in 2001, and I never understood why. I did everything. I 100% had this version. It broke though. The disc got scratched.

[@aliekexie8467]

Weird, Ive experienced things from 1.40 (like unskippable tutorial, yakuza not despawning and checkpoints missing sfx) and the full version, but I did have the russian version

[@Dani5ooo]

U dont have the italian promo. Its the german promo when u look at the screen. Its the old red USK 18 logo ;)

[@LightTheUnicorn]

I'm pretty sure I had 1.40 as a kid, watching this. Some of these look very familiar!

[@Razorblade1812]

Hey! I actually do have that version in my collection! Minus the Poster/Map that it originally comes with.

[@ShaunInce123]

I do remember having this version of the game on my PS2. Especially when it came to the Mafia being armed with shotguns post Sayonara Salvatore.

[@fenrillratz9890]

I think your second promo is not an italien one. It has the german age rating infront. Btw. I own the 1.40 Version. I wont sell it, because i am a collector myself. (Not only gta) Before i watching the movie to the end (adhd, i didn't wanted to forget about the age rating thing), i just wanted to say: I was so annoyed back then. Early videos showed the blue police cars. In the damn intro they where blue. XD Ingame black then. I felt kinda betrayed. I loved the blue design back then. And as teen, it annoyed me without end. Even i still love the game till now.

[@SXOPE3]

What if it was /UK and # at the end is it sill 1.40?

[@HEATHIl]

I think I had the 1.4 version as a kid because I don't remember being able to skip that cut scene. I definitely remember the annoying camera angle for the bridge jump and remember the yakuza still staying after the mission failed as I wanted to steal the limos and I do remember the bombers being called bombers, wonder if I still have it but like most PS2 games I ended up with about 5 copies of each GTA game when they got too scratched.

[@xegavega]

so. thats why my first memories about GTA III is unskipable tutorial

[@d1pstick32]

TIL I have the 1.40 version.

[@LaurenceReeves]

What?! No way! I had the 1.4 version as a kid! I had all these issues and didn’t even know it was a rare version 😂 now I have no idea what I’ve done with it.

[@TheDriftingspliff420]

i feel like i had this version as a kid its weird.

[@zuppiera2148]

In Italy we probably had the 1.40 (Pirated disc), because I remember i could not skip the Wasted cinematic. Plus sometimes it was also sold as Gta Napoli (If u were from Naples) to increase the sales of the pirated disc :)

[@bonipopochovski]

So I've had the 1.40 version all along, without me realizing it's rarer that the other versions? 😂 Lucky me I guess

[@magmad1ver]

this is the only one i ever played as a kid lol

[@PaperPlanes-s9j]

I got the pal version of GTA 3 it had the white cover art when I got my ps2 in 2012 and I'm from South Africa

[@cringeaiguy]

this video might have stuff incorrect,my disc has a # but i have the dodo flying in the building and the wasted/busted scenes.

[@MattJ155]

@@cringeaiguy What region are you in?

[@cringeaiguy]

@@MattJ155 europe with the pal version

[@nonoo3793]

I'm shocked you did not mention the changed intro. The introduction credit role, when you hear the iconic piano music playing in the background, they will show police cars in their original color, blue. Rather than police cars in their original color, blue, rather than black.

[@УтерянныйВТумане]

Because intro isn't changed for all european versions, therefore you have blue police cars in 1.60 intro of european game copy.

[@pgames3playerHMx]

@@УтерянныйВТуманеYeah I remember the cop cars being blue in my ps2 version intro but it was 1.60
