Since I didn't played GTA1, I don't know whether it would be good or bad. but looks interesting.

But the original was already 3D.

That's kinda the point. There's no remake going on there, as far as I can see it. The original map was already in 3D, all the guy is doing is making an engine to play the game from a first person perspective instead of bird's view.
Currently, all he wants to do is make an engine using GameMaker Studio for rendering the maps, no gameplay at all.

A remake of the original GTA is kinda pointless, anyway. Liberty City, San Andreas and Vice City were all done in more or less glorious 3D anyway, and the gameplay is virtually unchanged. So in a way, the game has already been remade.
A 3D variant of London 1969 would be cool, though, or the slightly futuristic city of GTA2.

3D means using FPS or TPS view instead of top view I guess..

The layout of the cities changed and aiming with a thir person view is very different than shooting the old way, though. Shooting actually was terrible in GTA1, unless you had an automatic weapon it was obscenely hard to hit anything at a distance.
