dam this is a missed opportunity, i would gladly pay for an hd remake with trophies

Outside_ofthe_Box4223d ago

but, but, hd remakes are an evil scheme to get you to pay for a game that you already have for your ps2. why would anyone want or support that?/s

decrypt4223d ago (Edited 4223d ago )

They really are a evil scheme. If you want the game so badly just get the PC version.

You can get the game on PSN, however when you buy the PS4 u will be back to square 1. PS3 PSN games may not work on PS4. If you want to build a library then get it on the PC.

Plus you have tons of graphical mods on the PC too, which makes the game look even better.

Another point to remember, even if you buy the PSN version it probably will be locked at 720p. Few years from now when 4K Tvs are the norm, u will again be stuck with a game thats running at 720p and will look full of jaggies on a 4K tv. With the PC version you can simply increase the res yourself and make the game look good regardless of screen. Hence the PC version really is the best solution and most cost effective one. Funny but i bought GTA 3 on PC when it first released i can play it even today on my current rig, no need to buy the game over and over again.

Hellsvacancy4223d ago

Well, wouldnt that apply to EVERY single game released on the PS3?

Why bother buying any games at all then?

b163o14223d ago

I read that GTA III and Vice City are coming to PSN while SanAndreas is set for the HD remake...

DOMination-4223d ago

I see this a lot on here about how pc is so great because it can upscale old games.

Upscaling gta3 to 4k will if anything make the game look worse. If the graphics are ass to begin with then no amount of post effects will help it.

Blacktric4223d ago

Agreed but I'm still getting it. It's been years (more than 7 I think) since I've last played GTA 3 and Vice City. I hope they release both Vice City and San Andreas in the near future too.

krisq4223d ago

I would be all over San Andreas!

Perjoss4223d ago

You can get San Andreas on the 360 as a download title.

TrevorPhillips4224d ago

You just took the words out of my mouth brother.

Red_Orange_Juice4223d ago

I have it on PC and PS2, would buy 3rd time for torphies

infamous-butcher4223d ago

I'm in the exact same boat here. there's no incentive to buy it for a third time.

torchic4223d ago

yea echoing what everyone else has said I hope they make a Vice City HD remake with trophies, I'd gladly splash €40 on that

Wow, now thats UNREAL! Why do they try to hose us with re-releases when the community can do this with UE5?! Holy crap thats absolutely insane and puts T2 to absolute SHAME!

porkChop664d ago

That's actually incredible.

Profchaos664d ago

So yes it looks good but the thing is once you start building new assets and making significant changes like what's been done here it stops being gta 3.
In the example shots roads are so narrow they are essentially one way streets.

I'm not crapping on the work.this guy did it's fantastic but it's not gta 3.

This isn't a gta 3 remake in ue it's a fan game that uses gta 3 as inspiration if that's better or worse it's subjective.

Gta definitive wasn't great but that was more related to the ugly character models and bugs 1 was an attempt by gsg to leave a mark on the game the other was their lack of care.

Part of the charm of GTA is the semi cartoonish look it has. Making it too realistic doesn't fit the game.

LordoftheCritics664d ago

Remove the main character walking and its another generic enviroment demo.

ApocalypseShadow854d ago (Edited 854d ago )

Yup. Back when Microsoft was making some very bad decisions. They could have been the one that launched GTA. They could have had Heavenly Sword. They made a bad deal with Nvidia. And so on.

But, it worked out that Rockstar went multiplatform and Ninja Theory is now part of Microsoft after many years. And AMD won the contracts and Nvidia tech is not used by any home console manufacture except for portables like Switch.

Ah. Game history.

Lexreborn2854d ago

Heavenly sword as an IP has always been owned by Sony. Where did you hear MS could’ve had it?

Vanfernal854d ago

The very first first reveal of Heavenly Sword was a pc build on an Xbox website. Sony acquired the publishing rights later.

ApocalypseShadow853d ago (Edited 852d ago )

Guess you don't know your gaming history.

At one time, Heavenly sword was running on PC and then an early Xbox 360 prototype but was canceled in favor of PS3.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

I'm well aware who owns the IP.
Lol. So you're wrong. Take that to the bank. Vanfernal knows and says it below. I didn't say they owned the game. They own the developer. Did I have to spell it out.

Lexreborn2852d ago

@Apocalypse

When someone asks a question after a statement it’s them challenging their initial belief. Van gave a reason in which it was liked for giving the info.

Not knowing about one games point is pretty irrelevant to a whole of my gaming knowledge.

Profchaos853d ago

Actually rockstar didn't go multiplatform initially GTA 3 and vc were PS exclusive for a while and San Andreas also had 1 year exclusive period I remember being in high school and that week you were either waiting for San Andreas if you owned a PlayStation or halo 2 if you owned a Xbox

ApocalypseShadow853d ago

GTA 3 was PS2 exclusive. Now, GTA is multiplatform as it's ported to other consoles and mobile.

What is it with these kids these days. Lol.

NeoGamer232853d ago

Should've, Would've Could've - Didn't

zarbor853d ago

Well someone like to highlight MS failures. Sorry there are too many to count. If not for their incredible sized budget, they might not be around today. I'm glad they are so that the rest of them do not sit on their laurels. Nevertheless, it was clear and still is clear today MS had no idea what the **** they were doing back then. They "Jumped In" and did little to no homework.

Give them credit they have learned a few things since then. A GTA exclusive back then, would have changed the console gaming landscape. My only issue is that they still make some dumb decisions today and clearly have shown they still have much to learn....but they are getting better.
