[Sidney Prescott]

I'm so hyped.

These are literally my all-time favourite games. Especially Vice City and San Andreas. Any excuse to re-live Vice City once again is totally fine by me.

 

[Spukc]

so will they keep this in?

 

[YCoCg]

THEY'RE REMOVING THE ORIGINALS!! You'll be forced to buy the new ones!

 

[Stitch]

Absolutely worthless announcement from Rockstar once again. Show us something or shut the fuck up.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I swear they better not change or remove any of the original music for GTA III

Please have all the music. Please be not modified for current social climate.

Honestly, the thing I'm worried about the most is licensing and all of that. I mean, look at how the Tony Hawk remake had to deal with it. Would be cool if all the music was there in full, but I think it's safe to be prepared for some missing/replaced tracks.

 

[GymWolf]

Show some gameplay you cowards.

 

[Classicrockfan]

Vice city was my favorite but most of the songs I liked were taken out,I would hope they would get new songs to cover the cut ones

 

[kanjobazooie]

Price?

 

[nordique]

Going to wait to see gameplay footage but I’m in for Switch version

 

[Tranquil]

I'm just hoping they updated the controls, I have GTA III on Steam and San Andreas on PS4 and I'm always fighting the controls it's so difficult just to aim and shoot properly, that I never made it very far.

It's day one for me if they update the controls to be like GTA V.

 

[SentientStone]

Will be edited, graphics will be underwhelming, fans spends the next decade modding back in the missing content and making it look 10x better.
By the end of the decade, GTA6 comes out... cycle repeats.

 

[Rossco EZ]

excited but gonna keep my expectations low as i don’t have much faith in R* these days

 

[Swift_Star]

WTH, not even a screenshot.

 

[Star-Lord]

No screenshots or gameplay snippets? Is it that bad?

 

[ethomaz]

Milk The Definitive Edition.

 

[geary]

I'm ready.

This meme in 4k from now on!

 

[ethomaz]

Releases this year…. and shows absolutely no gameplay footage??

Well it is GTA after all… showing gameplay or not won’t make difference.

 

[Neilg]

Its noticeablly affected by the compression, even though its pretty simple imagery. I'm only bringing it up because it wasn't like this even a few years back and you can see plenty of examples of videos on youtube where they know how to maintain the quality even though the re-encode. They could easily make it look better than that.

Rockstars marketing is in-house, and it's a twitter post so there's fuckall you can do about the compression anyway.

 

[Nico_D]

Vice City better have the soundtrack intact.

 

[rofif]

Releases this year…. and shows absolutely no gameplay footage??

Rockstar with their smug stupid wisdom never shows any gameplay before release.
But it's coming to phones so dont expect much

 

[YCoCg]

So just to confirm, Rockstar are removing the original versions of these games FROM ALL platforms, and the new Trilogy on PC is going to be Rockstar Games Launcher exclusive.

 

[GametimeUK]

Can't wait to finally see Bigfoot.

 

[rapid32.5]

GTA VI coming soon in 5 years preorder now.

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[Sephimoth]

Pretty obvious why they've not shown a pic or vid.

 

[prinz_valium]

Nice. One more remaster I won't buy.

 

[ripeavocado]

Great, give us a screen!

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

"classic look and feel" + "Switch" + "Mobile in 2022" = it's going to be HD ports with slightly improved textures

It says "modern gameplay advancements" but I wonder what that even means cause those games are clunky af nowadays. Hopefully it means you don't have to ram x to run anymore, and better aiming would be nice. Hearing that gtaiii music in the video hit me in thr nostalgias.

 

[Guilty of Being]

Years ago, I was so hyped when I was able to get these games on Steam. Then I tried to play them. Yikes.

They need to nail the controls this time around.

Also, try to enhance like RDR and Halo received.

If that isn't fixed, I don't think this will go well.

However, I'm ready!

 

[nightmare-slain]

PC same time as consoles? fuck yeah.

 

[Tranquil]

So just to confirm, Rockstar are removing the original versions of these games FROM ALL platforms, and the new Trilogy on PC is going to be Rockstar Games Launcher exclusive.

I'm assuming they'll only remove the option to purchase, but if you already own the game it should still be there.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Releasing this year? Meaning the next 2 months without gameplay or a single screenshot?

This isn't looking good already

 

[Matt_Fox]

Not particularly interested in GTA3, but Vice City and San Andreas could be worth a revisit....

 

[nightmare-slain]

Nice. One more remaster I won't buy.

go away then. byeee!

 

[Guilty of Being]

GTA VI coming soon in 10 years preorder now.

I fixed your math error.

 

[saintjules]

Since October 22nd is the 20th Anniversary to GTA3, I'd suspect we'd see something then.

 

[Portugeezer]

I don't get it, is it kind of a remake like SOTC/Demon Souls, or is it just a remaster 4K,6fps lifting patch?

If it's the firt i'm in, if it's the latter IDGAF.

Rockstar would never sell the trilogy for $60 if it was a substantial upgrade.

Even without footage/screens we can guess it will be PC version of the old games, basically, with probably some upgraded textures/character models here and there.

The gameplay/control improvements will be more important. Old games feel shit to play.

... And the music... They hopefully relicense any music which is needed.

 

[J3nga]

TES VI announcement vibes. It will release on mobiles also. I'm lowering my expectations.

 

[Graciaus]

If it doesn't come with the complete soundtrack I don't see any reason to buy this when I already own them on PC.

If it's really this it's a big Joke TBH, who care about this, i fucking love those games, specially VC, but honestly if it's just this it's Stinks hardcore.

 

[Holammer]

I don't care, but I'll eagerly awaiting the shit show when people figure out the cut content.
Lotta big yikes in those old games that simply won't work in the current year.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I don't agree, this isn't the same rockstar.

Its possible that they package everything together and charge $60 for the bundle.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Got a disappointing feeling already, that it will be another case of half hearted at best remastering. I would love to be wrong, Vice City is one of my favourites of all time.

 

[Guilty of Being]

"We have blurred everything and made the game silent so that everyone feels welcome."

"Every NPC has a slider so that you can diversify the way you see fit."

"Lil Nas X has re-created every soundtrack for a modern, progressive twist."

 

[saintjules]

The fact that it's also coming on mobile devices doesn't inspire much confidence in "graphical improvements". Though I hope there are some significant improvements to visuals and controls.

I'd love to play these three amazing games once again.

I'm curious though because the understanding is that they're using Unreal Engine 4 for the improvements.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

These will be 100% crap. Android inspires no confidence in enhancements.

Forget about it Mario

 

[Sleepwalker]

Switch and iOS/Android

 

[saintjules]

so will they keep this in?

true. i'd hope that the mobile versions are treated differently but the games will be using Android as a baseline. so PC will hardly be any better than mobile versions.
