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

BattleTorn3576d ago

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

Plagasx3575d 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.

GarrusVakarian3576d ago (Edited 3576d 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.

oODEADPOOLOo3576d ago (Edited 3576d 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.

Eonjay3576d 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_bag2423575d ago (Edited 3575d 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.

Rockstar are always tight-lipped

FlyingFoxy3576d ago

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

badz1493576d ago

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

gamerfan09093576d 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.

MegaRay3576d ago

And people complain about Oddworld remastered being $30 SMH

DanielGearSolid3576d ago

Why should they cost 10 - 20?

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

TheBurger293576d 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.

badz1493576d ago

^^^

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

Rainstorm813576d 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

lelo3576d ago (Edited 3576d 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.

SpadeX3576d ago (Edited 3576d 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!

BattleTorn3576d ago

To be fair Naughty Dog has shown less than R*

hehe

1nsomniac3576d ago

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

TheDevKit3576d ago (Edited 3576d ago )

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

badz1493576d ago

^^^

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

JD_Shadow3576d 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?

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing692d ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos2d ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Demetrius2d ago

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy852d ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius2d ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
