Ouch. This is what happens when you sign of a lazy bugfest.

Rockstar just got CD Projekt REKT

Rebel_Scum1260d ago

This trilogy is more of a low effort remaster, poorly ported and badly optimsed mess than a bugfest.

They had one job... there's a vibrant community of GTA modders out there that have all released mods that blow this remaster out of the water, and instead of hiring them, and making those mods official, they hire these guys on to slap some overpriced garbage together. Same with GTA5, there's mods out there that are better than any remaster R* has ever released on any system.

I'd say a little harsh but not by much, the originals feel much better to play to me.

And the way the empty grass and sidewalks look doesnt hold with the graphic "upgrade". Empty spaces looked much better with PS2 graphics and they should have added some clutter to address it (weeds, litter, etc)

MadLad1259d ago

It's like they ported over the assets to UE4, used some sort of AI to scale up the textures, through in some new lighting and after effects, and called it a day.
Would explain why so many character models look like they're made from playdoh.

GTA trilogy the definitive cash-grab edition...

XxSPIDEYxX1259d ago

But.....they gave CyberPunk a 7.5. This is such a reach.

TheGoodestBoi1259d ago

So GTA is comparable to Cyberpunk afterall

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.

Chard497d ago

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

Cacabunga497d ago

Cash grabs have rarely been tuned

1nsomniac497d ago

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

anast497d 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

-Foxtrot500d ago

Probably because it looked like it was made for mobile

Profchaos500d 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

Knightofelemia499d ago (Edited 499d ago )

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

shinoff2183499d 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?

PhillyDonJawn499d 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
