VGC reports that reverse engineering the code as this team is doing means they aren't using leaked source code or the original code itself. The project also made some improvements to the original games including bug fixes, a better camera, better controller support, widescreen support, and the removal of loading screens on PC. This project has reverse engineered the source code for Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Take-Two has filed a lawsuit in California that is targeting 14 developers from all over the world that have been working together on what is known as the re3 project.
