James Kennedy of The Koalition writes: Once upon a time, I considered the sight of a Rockstar Games logo attached to a video game’s artwork to be a guarantee of proper quality. Your money was most likely going to be well spent, and countless hours would be lost in the said video game. After the release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, I am afraid to say that is no longer the case.
GTA The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition has received a graphical upgrade; here's how it compares to the original.
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?
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.

The Definitive Editions of GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas look better than ever according to fans
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
Better to enjoy the games on PS2 least they weren't a pile of shit.
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?
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
Without a doubt, one of the most disappointing remasters of 2021.
