Rockstar have been too Tight-lipped on GTA V Remaster

From GamesReviews:

"It wasn't that long ago that Grand Theft Auto V was a mystery. We didn't know that there were going to be three protagonists or that a huge chunk of the game would basically be an MMO-lite, we'd never have dreamt that the game might feature the kind of soul-destroying violence against teddy bears that it eventually displayed... That was then, and since GTA V was released is has garnered dozens of perfect scores, awards and millions of sales. Everybody who wanted to, almost without exception when you look at the statistics, has played it. So why do we still know next to nothing about the re-release?"

It's going to be the same game with better textures and etc

BattleTorn3568d ago

I'll be the first to admit I love me some better textures =D

Plagasx3568d ago

I think it's more than that. It has complete overhauls to the geometry and all new lighting. Not just a HD texture remake.

GarrusVakarian3569d ago (Edited 3569d ago )

No they haven't. Gamers are too spoiled and entitles these days, too used to seeing gameplay and screenshots of games every week before release that now they expect it...and actually feel that they have the right.

Plus, it's the Rockstar way. They've always been the type to announce something and then go into hiding. Builds up the hype nicely, imo.

oODEADPOOLOo3569d ago (Edited 3569d ago )

They knew people especially on PC have been asking for it for a while, it woudln't have killed them to throw people a bone and tell them its on the way. IDK it just seems more respectful to the fans who had been asking for it and at the end of the day the fans are the ones giving Rockstar money, so they should be able to do that much. I mean no one ever went into a Burger King and got told they were spoiled because they wanted a burger their way(lol)...their the customer. Then again that "Entitlement" label probably stems from the probability that you already played the game, so you couldn't care less about those who haven't.

Eonjay3568d ago

They didn't show the PS360 version until a month before it released. Why would they change their practice for PC or PS4 or Xbox One?

tee_bag2423568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

I tend to agree with this. There's little to be gained from Rockstars being so hamfisted with information and not sharing an approximate release date. There's a point where all this "we can neither confirm or deny" nonsense simply doesn't generate hype, but rather resentment. I already have a copy of the game and have eagerly been waiting for an inevitable pc copy. I can't help but feel a some resentment towards Rockstars that they have just left a large segment of their fanbase in the dark.

Hellsvacancy3569d ago

Rockstar are always tight-lipped

FlyingFoxy3568d ago

I think that award would go to Valve without question..

badz1493568d ago

what? Valve is not tight-lipped, they just don't have thing to announce after #2!

gamerfan09093569d ago

Could care less about remasters of year old titles. I like GTA V, but these games should be 10 to 20 bucks tops for just prettier graphics. I hope they show off RDR 2 pretty soon.

MegaRay3568d ago

And people complain about Oddworld remastered being $30 SMH

DanielGearSolid3568d ago

Why should they cost 10 - 20?

Wat about the ppl that didn't purchase the game?

TheBurger293568d ago

You must be a console gamer. Us pc gamers can CHANGE the settings to what we want, from low to high. This remaster is just better graphics so I dont see how they can charge any more than $40 for it.

badz1493568d ago

^^^

so, you've played the the pc version when it released last year? /s

Rainstorm813568d ago

10-20 bucks?......GTAV is still 60$ on PS3 and 360......y would the upgraded version be 10$?

Also can we stop calling it a remaster its obviously a new version of the game not a simple HD upgrade

lelo3568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

All these remastered games need to disappear so those developers put all their efforts on new games.

All these remastered games are quick cash grabs.

SpadeX3568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

False.

Remasters are good for two people:
1) The developers themselves, by giving them a chance to learn a thing or two on how to develop on current-gen consoles, or helping them earn more profit enough for making a new better quality game.

2) People who haven't played the game before/want an upgraded version:
Why would it hurt to release an upgraded game with additional content available for free? It sure doesn't make any sense. Not to mention PC gamers who don't own last-gen consoles are going to be able to play GTA 5, so you could say that this is also considered a way to reach more players. You don't like it, then don't buy it, simple as that.

If you want a new game from Rockstar you're gonna have to wait buddy, its still the first year of current-gen consoles, developing quality games take a lot of time and effort. Give developers some time to make new games, you don't wanna end up with rushed broken games, do you now?

Because they've been doing some actual work instead of doing nothing but media hyping how 60fps is groundbreaking!

BattleTorn3568d ago

To be fair Naughty Dog has shown less than R*

hehe

1nsomniac3568d ago

^^ My point exactly, & look at the huge graphical update Rockstar have made compared to TLOU.

TheDevKit3568d ago (Edited 3568d ago )

PC Gaming has given you the option of 60 FPS for several years.

badz1493568d ago

^^^

so did the consoles with certain games. are you saying that no game on console has ever been 60fps?

JD_Shadow3568d ago

Reason why media is hyping the 60fps thing is because many games run at 30fps because they have a lot of issues trying to maintain that sort of fps. For PC gamers, it's not as big of a deal because of hardware differences, but for consoles, it's not as easy to get that consistently.

Hows the heist for GTA Online coming?

Rockstar Need to Learn From This Mistake for Grand Theft Auto 6

Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA 5 are both classics, but movement and general interaction sometimes feels like you're possessed by a fridge.

Cost of realistic looking movement.

lucasnooker35d ago

Rockstar need to learn that 12 years of work and 5000 employees doesn’t account for one persons opinion on the internet…

Profchaos35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

Oh and hundreds of millions of dollars in revanue to boot.

Lots of complaints about gta ever since the hd era started and yet it's bugger than its ever been with gta vi up to 180 million trailer views alone. The next game is shaping it be be another genre defining game

MetalGearsofWar34d ago

They already learned they dont have to actually make a great game

sagapo35d ago

The controls of RDR2 felt a but cluncky indeed, but it’s not as bad as some make it out to be. At no point did I get the feeling my experience with the game was held back or ruined by the controls.
But it can never hurt to optimize them a bit, sure.

Zhipp34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

I did accidentally beat someone to death a couple times. An unfortunate mistake but besides that I didn't have any problems with the controlls

jznrpg35d ago

Red Dead Redemption felt clunky at first but I got used to it fairly quick. I thought 2 was easier to control but it could be my experience with the first game helped me out. Great games

Profchaos35d ago

I wouldn't call Rockstar games characters clunky instead they feel like they move with Weight they are not twitch controls press x to instantly snap onto cover the characters instead move like a actor would ducking behind cover they are exposed while they get there.
