^There's going to be updates? I did not expect this.

 

[STARSBarry]

What are you 14? This is a significant upgrade over the originals.

Haven't commented in this thread yet but when I saw this out of the 20 pages I just had to quote it so I can say this...

Hahahahahahahahahaha

I mean how can you so blatantly have so little standards for a game, jesus.

If anyone is still confused why companies can get away with literally releasing trash here is why. People like this will gulp it down and say thank you.

 

[Deyjandi_Von]

fuck everything about these new versions... holy shit

Synthol Edition.

 

[waquzy]

The game is broken AF, part 3

 

[V1LÆM]

somewhere in poland marcin iwinski is breathing a huge sigh of relief.

Grovegames seem to have worked on a lot of android and ios ports.

i think the only console games they've made are the PS3/360 version of SA.

 

[RoadHazard]

No humans touched these remasters.

It really does feel that way, doesn't it? Like all they did was run a suite of automated AI upscaling tools on the assets, didn't bother checking the results, and called it good.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Its not perfect and neither perfectly fine, or else they wouldn't remove the game for buy.

The reason could be that the removed songs are still in the game files. They want to remove them.

 

[ParaSeoul]

^There's going to be updates? I did not expect this.

Yeah first one is to remove even more content.

 

[The_Observer]

This is why we are now at the point that we are, where things you paid hard cash for can be stolen off you at a whim of a publisher and totally removed. Fuck the digital future and the pathetic shills that enabled them by happily giving up their consumer rights because they are lazy. It's going to get even worse as the years go on, now it's only the odd game or so but eventually they could have the audacity to totally nuke your library of rentals for any made up reason & you won't be able to do shit about it as you let them take all your protections like suckers.

My favorite thing is that the kind of people you talk about are always laughing at us while talking on the high horse. Why is it that always the stupidest is the loudest?...

 

[BigLee74]

I can forgive the AI ‘enhanced’ character models. They have a degree of charm, and bring even more humour.

but…

The frame drops - in performance mode - ON THE XSX.

Unforgivable.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Actually the game seems to have some good weather effects:


I wish they would use that more so we wouldn't see the whole game world at once.

Review: GTA Trilogy: Definitive Edition is a disappointment on Switch

Terrible performance cripples what should have been a great collection on Nintendo’s platform…

www.videogameschronicle.com

2/5

Wow what a disappointment. They should of hired the people that reverse engineered the OG games instead of suing them.

 

[VulcanRaven]

This made me laugh so much for some reason.

 

[Forsythia]

Look at the Mass Effect or Crash Bandicoot remasters, those are great, you'd expect even more from Rockstar. This collection isn't worth more than €10 by the looks of it.

 

[scalman]

But you can still pump up your muscles in gta sa yes? Wonder how that looks in next gen. Must be funny put new engine stuff on old skeleton
I mean you dont even need to buy game on game pass or ps now. So its just fun to see that. No money spend. No harm
If games will look same on phones that will be amazing to try, just not with touch controls will need some controller with analogs and such.

 

[hemo memo]

And Crash remaster was from ACTIVISION of all publishers. I mean if Activision, the company notorious of pulling shit to consumers can do a better remaster than you then you really fucked it up.

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

How can they increase viewing distance yet not populating the world with many more cars/people, it still looks like only 10-15 cars at a time show up.

I didn’t buy it for the PC and I’m sorry to piss on your crusade, but I’m enjoying the game. I really don’t know what else to say.

[Majormaxxx]

I downloadad SA on series x. The framerate is off. I guess it is frame pacing. It is NOT pleasant to play. Even my pentium 4 celeron 2.4ghz ran it better back in 2005...

 

[Dorohedoro]

The game is broken AF, part 3

Fucking hilarious how the game thought he did a stunt when the forklift got glitched to hell.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

 

[usp84]

They even messed up the jetpack?

 

[rofif]

Even after this GTA fiasco, people will not understand why the digital future is not as bright as they assume.
Content is changed, deleted, or entire games are taken away from "buyers". Which is possible, because no one owns the purchased product - you just have a right to play the game for as long and in the state that the rights holder provides.

It's interesting because there is NO WAY to own the product.
Having gta iv on disc on 360 and ps3 is just a cheat haha.
But it's the only legit way to play this game with original content, music and graphical effects.
The xbox one backwards compatibility versions all download the "new music" versions apparently. And it's not a small deal. Most of vladivostok radio got nuked and it's very nostalgic to those who played in 2008. It was in trailers too

 

[SJRB]

Maybe should've worked on those updates BEFORE releasing your game, chief. You fucked up.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

This self proclaimed "game developer" and "technologist" (according to his Twitter bio) is fucking delusional. They are not working on "updates", they (maybe) are working on fixes.

[TheUsual]

Playing SA on PS5, saw a nice glitch of police car driving into a pole, backing up, and rinse repeat into infinity. Can't wait to see what other fun things there are

That's the point basically.
We're not in the '90 anymore, the info is there everywhere, and this is not a limited print game at all.

You bought this product, you contribute to make videogames a shittier market. Congratulations.

 

[rabbity-thing]

I'm truly disheartened by this. I saw a video showing how they improved the garbage-tier weapon mechanics from the original series and my jaw just about dropped. They fixed the only legitimately terrible thing about the originals but broke a bunch of other things in the process.

 

[dotnotbot]

Just saw someone claiming you can no longer rob stores in Vice City like you could in originals. Can anyone confirm or deny? PS2/PS4 version had a trophy for robbing 15 stores and it's gone for "definitive" edition.
EDIT: debunked, you can

Also, I still can't find an answer whether cars can get dirty in San Andreas or not. It's a thing that was absent in mobile port.

Little collection of remastered textures for attention:

[hemo memo]

Yeah Rockstar’s instructions to the devs are:
-AI upscale.
-Change lines that might outrage the usual suspects.
-Ship it.

Quality? Yeah no time for that.

I mean an outside observer to the industry would think this is hitting rock-bottom in term of quality but no, as we already did that with Fallout 67 and Cyberpunk after that and I am sure I am missing a lot of other titles.

 

[Narasumas]

Guess I’ll just be sticking to Saints Row on my Switch then it seems.

 

[Fermbiz]

At this point, I want to purchase GTA Definitive Edition just to see what kind of bugs and glitches I encounter and laugh my ass off. I'm dying of laughter from watching all these vids.

 

[Davesky]

I can't get my head around the state of these remasters, especially from an industry leader like Rockstar. Were these games rushed out with a forced deadline due the overwhelming negative feedback of the GTA V trailer? Because I really can't think of any other reason. If this was supposed be the beginning of a long marketing campaign for the next GTA this could end up hurting the brand image even further more than anything. Complacency gets you nowhere and it takes constant work and effort to stay at the very top. Heavy is the head that wears the crown as they say. Public perception can change very quickly especially within the gaming community and Rockstar should maybe think more carefully how they proceed in future if they really think they can make the franchise endure and last as long as James Bond.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

I'm genuinely enjoying gta 3 and vice City so far.

Just keep watching those gifs and vids. Don't need to spend money on this Shitition.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

For fucks sake. Especially video killed the radio star, that song IS vice city to me.

Video killed the radio star is in the game.

I never wanted to see Rockstar fail, so i hope at least GTA 6 will be strong. GTA means too much to me in my life.

Best comment:

Most people will buy anything GTA labeled, to most people names such as Leslie Benzies and Dan Houser mean nothing.

[SuperBabyMethod]

They’ll fix this eventually.... right?

 

[kikkis]

Does anyone have problem where you have to really press A hard in order to run on xbox series controller?

 

[veterangamerUK]

I've apologised to my Series X for installing such shit on it and now removed it. It's sat sobbing in the shower.
