So.... where do you buy this on PC? Don't tell me they are trying to lock it to their Rockstar launcher.

Yes, they are.

 

[Classicrockfan]

Please include all music or at least include new ones to make up for the cut songs.

 

[firegamer273]

it looks alright but its not worth the full price .

 

[Putonahappyface]

Never played any of these so I'm definitely buying.

 

[Woggleman]

If they brought back at least some of the original music I am in.

 

[rapid32.5]

bare minimum visuals for GamePass and PSNOW entry. At least the art style remains untouched. GTAIII looks the least enhanced visually.

 

[Swift_Star]

It looks goofy as fuck. They should've either done a regular remaster or went all the way. This in between remaster is ugly and low budget looking.

You don't think the originals look goofy? What?

 

[Kacho]

Please include all music or at least include new ones to make up for the cut songs.

I’m surprised they didn’t mention this. I guess the music is still cut which is a shame.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

I never did beat San Andreas. Was loving every bit of it though, so the perfect time to revisit it since the PS2 days. Perfect Game Pass addition.

edit: left off right at the miniature plane mission.

 

[Shadowplay1979]

This is done on unreal, its gonna be so easy to replace all these awful models, missing music and pearl clutching censored stuff. Considering how rockstar had mods for the original pulled...they are banking on it

 

[rofif]

This IS a regular remaster. Take the original game and slap on some HD textures.

Can we all stop pretending the originals didn't look goofy and cartoony too? We were just filling in the blanks with our imaginations because all we had was a PS2.

Look at this shit. They're arcade games, they were always arcade games. We just thought they were super gritty and realistic because it was 2001.

Not like that.
And when we played these games new, none of it looked cartoony really... maybe now but simple =/= cartoony.

 

[Verchod]

Ok so not awful, but certainly not great. And to be honest, why would you bother. The earlier games were fairly basic and each new game really just a technologically better rendition of a city. The story makes little difference surely. Did GTA III have a great story?

 

[dotnotbot]

 

[rofif]

This is what modders can do for free while Rockstar making billions from GTA online every year cant even come close.

oh this is cancer too

 

[Vlodril]

60? I wan't to see you are crazy but gta5 sold forever so who the fuck knows.

 

[Sidney Prescott]

it looks alright but its not worth the full price .

Depends what you see as worth full price really.

If people have never played these games before and they are getting them in their definitive versions, I'd definitely say it's worth it. Hundreds of hours of content to be had with these games. 3 full packed games.

For me, it's worth full price because I know I'll play these games to completion even on a replay and the graphical improvements is just icing on the cake. I just hope the controls have had some overhauling too.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

So looks like I will be eating my hat after all.

Shit.

You and me both

 

[Star-Lord]

You and me both

I actually made a pledge to NeoGAF to eat a (deep fried) hat if Rockstar released the game with significant improvements. I wish I’d stop pledging stupid shit like that.

 

[Mossybrew]

And to be honest, why would you bother.

Yeah, I mean I think they did a pretty good job upgrading the graphics here, but I'm just not the market for these remasters. I already played these games, I have no desire to return to them with so much new stuff constantly coming out to play.

 

[AV]

And when we played these games new, none of it looked cartoony really... maybe now but simple =/= cartoony.

The games haven't changed over time. What's changed is you're not a child/teenager any more so you can see the games for what they are which is cartoony arcade games.

Your imagination filled in the blanks and left you with a more gritty memory of these games. 3 is as close to "gritty" as it gets and that one is also the most arcade-like of any 3D GTA.

And you just (correctly) called the PC mod visuals cancer so I have a feeling you just don't want a remake at all.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Their Twitter says GTAV inspired controls, which means I get to spam X some more, fuck rockstar change that shit up it’s so dated.

 

[GodLordPaddock]

I'll wait to see hkw it runs on series x/ps5 before I choose which one to get it for.

 

[Paasei]

Their Twitter says GTAV inspired controls, which means I get to spam X some more, fuck rockstar change that shit up it’s so dated.

That doesn't really say that much. Their controls have basically been the same ever since GTA 3.

 

[abcdrstuv]

Those mods look “good” but they’re not going to remake those games for photo realism and throw away what was distinct about the visuals

 

[Arun1910]

Actually really digging this. Game Pass as well? Hell, I'm in day one then.

only 1

 

[AJUMP23]

After rewatching the trailer I wish they would have pushed Vice City to an almost cartoonish level of cel shading. Make it looks like an hyperstylized 80s cartoon.

 

[bender]

Looks a lot better than I was expecting. Character models are a little out of place though. Still curious about the control improvements. With SA coming to Gamepass, it will be great to kick the tires before making a purchase or waiting for a sale.

 

[hemo memo]

I’m not paying 60$ for this. 30$ tho I will bite.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Looks way better than I expected so stupid sexy rockstar gets my money again.



Some people in this thread ask like they want full on remakes of 3 massive games for $60, if they'd remade all 3 you'd get them years apart and for $180 not $60.

Stop being entitled shitheads.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I actually made a pledge to NeoGAF to eat a (deep fried) hat if Rockstar released the game with significant improvements. I wish I’d stop pledging stupid shit like that.

I'm just contemplating if the colour of the hat can somehow determin the flavour..

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

only 1

Yeah the best one.

 

[Fare thee well]

A minimal, but nice visual enhancement. Looks like any game after I add a few texture mods and a reshade/enb setup. If I get it I'd probably wait till it was 30-40 dollars tbh.

Oh I have nothing against remakes. I love Demons Souls.
It does not matter that the original games look as they look. It matters what they were trying to do and how these games compared to other games at the time.
This type of remaster is just not for this

 

[TheMan]

Goddamnit I guess I’m buying this

*furiously gets wallet out*

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Nope. Will gladly get when its free for those who already have the originals on Steam.

 

[EDMIX]

Day 1.

This is a solid remaster. They are correct to maintain that same vibe, feel and look while adding in quality of life stuff.

They are not 100% remaking such massive open world games, put them on 1 disk for $60, highly unfucking likely and I don't know why anyone was expecting that, they made it pretty clear thats not what this was. Keep in mind, its not even to say one day we won't get a full remake of the games over time, but it damn well isn't going to be some $60 bundle or something.

 

[Sybrix]

I guarantee this will be edited out too:



"Don't let him escape!"

It better fucking not be

That mission is hillairous

 

[German Hops]

My dick is rock hard right now.

gg, Rockstar.

 

[DonF]

Looks cheap, like a Lego Hd. Weird.

 

[akaFullmetal]

Looks good, better than I was hoping. Will just wait a little till is $40 or something

 

[Come On Tars]

I really hope they up the NPC count.

 

[Md Ray]

For a Remaster of really old games the improvements are actually rather nice, I expected less.

Me too. But the price for this on R* store for India is ridiculous!

 

[sertopico]

Looks good but no thanks. Played all them three in the past as they came out, had a great time, time to move on. Too many operation nostalgia nowadays. They are surely good for those who never had the chance to play them though.

 

[Camreezie]

I expected a port with unlocked framerate so im happy

 

[dotnotbot]

 

[lem0n]

Fuck me up Day One. SA is my favorite game of all time

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

Reminder that TakeTwo DMCA'd the GTA reverse engineer project days before announcing this "definitive" remaster.

Makes sense that they would dmca this, knowing the remasters were releasing so soon.

 

[existensmaximum]

Definetly could have looked even worse, but to think some people thought these games were going to be comparable to the remakes in Mafia: Definitive Edition...

 

[NeverYouMind]

None of these look even close to definitive. San Andreas looks like an asset dump of the mobile release with faces touched up and somehow made to look more deformed. Vice City looks miscolored, flat, and plastic and is likely butchered with censorship and licencing related omissions. Vice City : The Defiled Edition seems like a more fitting name. Even GTA III which seems like the only one to really benefit has not properly touched up faces. They made Misty look like a man for Christ's sake.

I think that the definitive versions of these games remain:
XBOX - GTA III
PC - Vice City
PS2 - San Andreas
