Rockstar really fucks the dog these days, don't they? I have no idea how anyone can defend the business practices of Rockstar over the last decade. The GTA Remastered Trilogy was a pile of shit, and indefensible - those who do defend it stand on a hill of horse shit claiming that the external development team contracted was too small, or inexperienced - Rockstar still had to sign off on those products to see release, they still had to approve milestones. It's on Rockstar and Take-Two, and they're effectively one in the same. The old guard from Rockstar have left. Even Lazlow Jones is gone. With any degree of luck the next GTA title won't be a huge pile of shit, maybe they'll get desperate as they did in the past "we need the Benz!".
The next-gen release of GTA V is the same. It was marketed as enhanced and expanded, then that phrase stopped being associated with the product at all. Now at release it's clear that they've once again done the absolute bare minimum, and they even lack the courtesy of having it be a free upgrade. A billion dollar conglomerate with declining quality standards and consumer consideration.
Rant over, hopefully they shove the two or three renderer upgrades onto PC at some stage, it'd be nice to have a better AA implementation at the very least as the TXAA implementation is shit tier.
