That run is really really unoptimized, we are talking more about a tool-assisted longplay. Some crazy impossible stunts but that is all. There is only one mission that is faster than current real time strategy due to being impossible in real time. Other than that, I think that the current any% SS speed run beats the TAS easily if you only count in the relevant missions. There are way too many possible ways to improve this to be even listed :p I really hope to see stable PS2 TASing some day, this game has so much potential.

Well then, if it WAS Hourglass that he ran GTA 3 with, then do you realize what that means?! We can finally have TASes of high end consoles!!!

It is still correct that Hourglass can only run simple games. Improvements are being made but progress is kinda slow, it's hard... The GTA3 TAS you see was made on PCSX2.

Link to video Updated tas. It looks a lot better. Some questionable actions, like why does he slid on the wall, always takes a taxi, and some of the on-foot movement makes no sense. Still, its much better.
