Some cheats have been removed from GTA: The Trilogy for "technical reasons"

From Xfire: "Rockstar Games has removed several cheat codes from the remastered versions of GTA: San Andreas, Vice City and GTA 3 due to 'technical reasons'."

That sucks I love using the cheats on these games

Perhaps they were removed to prevent easy trophy/achievement attainment. If that's the case, then Rockstar could've added a no achievements mode where you can use all the classic cheats to your heart's content.

My understanding was anytime we activated any cheats trophies and achievements were automatically disabled. Honestly I was willing to buy it digitally and buy the physical because that's how excited I was and this turned out to be a poor quick cash grab type remaster

Take two the parent company neither R* are struggling for cash/income so they really didn't have to rush this to meet a anniversary. Now my expectations for future remasters of Max Payne trilogy, RDR or bully are quite low. Truly we lost CDPR to greed and lost R* to GTA online shark cards and ubi soft think bigger is better and quantity is better than quality (because all their games are copy and paste) they just fill the game world with so many useless icons and how about them XP boosters in single player games

Cheats disable achievements. There’s even a potential bug in the remasters that trophies/achievements could be disabled permanently even if you don’t save after doing a cheat

-Thanks for the info. I haven't got this yet so I didn't know that cheats disable achievements.

For technical reasons? How can a PS2 run them and a freaking current gen console can’t!?

Technical reasons... Meaning they threw the ports into a new engine and some of the cheats conflicted with the way the engine was trying to handle them. (At least, that's what I believe to be the most likely case.) Quite simply, this means they didn't want to put in the extra work to try and get all of the cheats working, so they didn't. I'm 100% sure they could have, if they put some effort into it. Clearly, they did not.

"The removed cheats that have been tested and confirmed to not work at the time of writing are all from San Andreas: The Definitive Edition. The losses are adrenaline, the cheat that prevents CJ from ever being hungry, invisible cars, low-gravity cars and the cheat which switches the skybox to midnight permanently."

I can't see adrenaline or permanent midnight being hard to handle at all. However, the invisible cars and low-gravity cars could cause a lot of headaches so they took the easy route and killed them.

Technical reasons means

“We didn’t have enough time” or “we couldn’t be arsed spending time quality wise to make them work”

[CrimsonWing69]

My thoughts exactly!

They're getting as bad as EA, Ubi and Activision.

The laziness needs to stop.
