Lazy effort all around with these games, how can this look and run that bad even on Switch? Near 20fps, what a joke, even the original Xbox versions ran at a solid 30fps didn't they?

Neonridr1272d ago

even the PS5 can't run the games without massive dips and stutters at times. Really bad job on these remasters, I may have to hold off until some patches arrive to help improve these games.

Inverno1272d ago

A stylized from the ground up remake could've been done with the amount of money this series gets. Just the laziest effort and 60 bucks ontop of it all smh

It's a disappointment on every platform and in every way, but the graphics are nice, not considering the characters in SA. People who grew up with the games don't feel like playing because of how outdated the gameplay is, and new gamers who are teens now probably won't play it because the gameplay to them is as weird as a VHS.

I tried few San andreas tutorial missions on gamepass cloud and indeed gameplay seemed to be more frustrating than fun. Maybe I will try it again to see at least how the guns are.

mudakoshaka1272d ago

It just feels like playing a 20-year old game. In a time where we are accustomed to the high-end games that are available today, one expects a bit more realism when punching or shooting someone in a game. At least a bit more than the GTA games of the early 2000s are offering.

slowgamer1272d ago

Storytelling still holds up. After trying again I got to target practice with a pistol. I guess they could have made guns sound better at least.

mudakoshaka1271d ago

Oh, yeah, the stories really hold up! I have played these games so many times when I was a teenager. I was hoping there would be more gameplay enhancements when shooting and drivning, and not just the upgraded graphics.

This is why companies shouldn't be rewarded for intentional mediocrity.

Surprised they kept at it. Since Take 2s CEO keeps yapping so much B's I figured they'd leave it as is. They do look nice, even tempted to get em myself now.

Does the graphical update fix things like the AI produced signs that aren't even in English?

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is Still Not up to Standard Two Years Later

Worse still though, it appears as though The Trilogy has been abandoned by Rockstar and Take Two Interactive.

By today's standards, I'd argue that being half assed, having a couple patches, and being abandoned and ultimately left still half assed is infact up to standards.

Yesterday I watched a YouTube video that said the new Netflix iOS/Android versions have a series of visual improvements that significantly improve it and bring it much closer to the vision and mood of the original games.

That's just a f****** insult. They need to release that patch for console/PC asap.

Chard506d ago

If this gets applied to the Steam/console version then I’ll consider getting it

Cacabunga506d ago

Cash grabs have rarely been tuned

1nsomniac506d ago

It was beyond garbage. But we’re all over it now right? like it never happened!

anast506d ago

It's was supposed to be a mobile game.

This is what happens when you farm something out to the wrong people.

Wow, Looks Like The Busted GTA Trilogy Is Better On Mobile

The Definitive Editions of GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas look better than ever according to fans

-Foxtrot509d ago

Probably because it looked like it was made for mobile

Profchaos509d ago

I've checked it out and there's a toggle there for original lighting when that's on you get the sun saturation back orange hues of San Andreas and tons more atmosphere in vc.

Seems to be a huge factor you lose dynamic lights and the overly out of the box he engine feel and the whole thing seems more artistically driven.

I hope this comes to the actual console and ps release eventually

Knightofelemia508d ago (Edited 508d ago )

Better to enjoy the games on PS2 least they weren't a pile of shit.

shinoff2183508d ago

Out of curiosity what is the issue with this trilogy. I was looking to buy it cause san andreas is still my favorite and I've been itching for it. Is it broken?

PhillyDonJawn508d ago

The put little effort into the remaster. It's more of a port than anything. The graphics are barely any better while the colors make it look kinda cartoony
