Is GTA 3 Playable on 3rd Generation iPhones??? YES!!!
I'd like to use this thread as a place where anybody with a 3rd gen device can post their experience with GTA3 on their device along with tips/tricks to keep it running better. One I've used is the Free Up Memory button under Processes in SBSetting and it has helped keep the game running smooth. Normally I have about 30-40mb free memory while I'm running GTA3.
Things I've noticed so far:
- the menu was definitely not designed with 3rd gen in mind, as was the map, thankfully you can zoom in on the map.
- there is lag, but it is not horrible. At least on iOS 4.3.3
- there is also texture pop-in but I am not sure how bad it is in comparison to supported devices.
I've made a video demonstrating how well it runs on my device which is an iPod Touch 3G (32gb) running on jailbroken 4.3.3 iOS. I believe it has been confirmed that it does run on non-jailbroken devices.
