Rockstar: We don’t have enough resources and money to completely remaster 3 games any better than this.
Some broke ass guy in his basement: Hold my beer
My buddy who is in this industry watched the trailer and said “some of these changes look like the work of an algorithm” and now I think I might agree.
@Kicapan Manis tf you mean, they make over $1bn a year from GTA’s shark cards alone. They could afford to pay for all their staff’s houses, cars, food etc… Rockstar aren’t some back alley studio with limited resources. And here y’all are giving them the Gluck Gluck 3000 as a reward for abhorrently shitty practice.
@Dave L yeah exactly, the lack of attention to detail in all aspects of the game make it appear that they’ve just whacked the game into a pre-built renderer and shipped it out.
they picked a cheap studio to make it
That broke ass guy in no longer in his basement.
He’s living in prison now because Rockstar didn’t feel like holding his beer.
Reminds me of those immortal words by South Park’s Cartman: “When you pre-order a game, you’re just committing to paying for something that some a**ho**s in California haven’t even finished working on yet.”
@thebatmandc777 Get to download it early so you can play at midnight. I dont pre order like tha but games I want at release like the last God of War I pre ordered the day before so I can download and play at midnight.
@I Like Expensive Pasta Season 17 – Ep 7.
🤣Right, South Park speaks wiser words than what we have in government right now… Back in 2011 I stopped pre-ordering games,because I saw this trend coming were they started moving away from DLC to microtransactions online passes and other BS.
It was also a direct reference to the Stick Of Truth which was delayed for January 2014, when it was originally supposed to release around the same time as the Black Friday trilogy. At least Stick Of Truth turned out great compared to whatever is “dEFIniTIve edition” supposed to be
I still don’t understand people who pre order lmao, dumb consumers
The lack of actual gameplay footage was a huge red flag for me. I’m so glad I didn’t pre order.
@Ashley Jackson FromSoft is a terrible example DarkSoul1 had one of the worst framerate ever both on console and Pc . DarkSouls3 , Bloodborne and Sekiro all had terrible frame pacing on console so I have no clue why you mention them.
@G V I never had noticeable framerate issues, even in the infamous slow down areas though, maybe I got lucky! It’s next to impossible to get a stable frame rate through an entire big game too, mechanically the games are very sound, I would never criticise a dev for not having perfect frame rates at all times. I finished and platinumed all those games you mentioned and the remasters, 60 fps only made a fractional difference to me, it didn’t change anything in reality. Unless you’re playing shooters frame rates aren’t a big deal, and when we consider some of the total messes that have come out at launch in recent years From Software are easily one of the best devs, to be fair it’s the same with Rockstar, all their single player GTA games (not played the others), were solid on release
Lol me too. Ngl red dead redemption 2 and gta v beat them all three
I bought it this morning before work. It finished downloading kinda regret buy it but its a good distraction from smoking cigarettes on my day off.
@Legendofkai X-men destiny did that for me.
The Definitive Edition is just Rockstar’s excuse to preserve the price of the game for future generations to buy and not having the price depreciated over time until it becomes a freeware.
I say the orginal trilogy is probably worth €15 or $17
@Conor O Dea I picked up the original trilogy on Steam for $10 and that was at least 5-6 years ago.
@Sangeet Khatri Nice, I bought Vice City Stories for €3:50 for my PSP The game still holds up
@Conor O Dea love VCS, I have it on ps2. Been playing ps2 again actually, experiencing a wave of nostalgia rn.
@Conor O Dea Never played LCS or VCS. I’ve been reading so much praise I think I might try to find copies. I still own a PS2 lol. Hell, even my PS3 is the original model that was released so it’s almost 100 percent backwards compatible with both PS One and PS2 games. I’m so proud she’s still working till this day 😁
Lol had a very bad feeling about the game when I heard former war drum studios became grove street games. They did an awful job with the 10th anniversary ports.
Never let mobile developers come anywhere near real video games
@arsnakeheart missing the point. mobile devs are entirely competent at making games, you have the entire world playing angry birds as proof, they can make solid games. the point is that War Drum Studios provided a totally solid but slightly inferior version of each GTA on iphone and android, and Rockstar, being too absorbed by GTA Online, just let their mobile work be the console remaster of San Andreas specifically. its not War Drum’s fault (entirely at least), its all on Rockstar for not setting aside devs to assist and being content with the product they have.
At this point if devs don’t show gameplay in the trailer it’s almost safe to assume they aren’t confident in the positive reception of the product
Not only that, the reviews are still not up even on release date.
@King_Strix hey, at least we know Rockstar didn’t resort to paying for smoke blown up their ass. Like a lot of AAA publishers do.
Cyberpunk flashbacks, all they have shows at the time was some stupid ass commercials that has nothing to do with the actual game
In their defense, all the cutscenes were in-engine. What you saw in the cutscenes are pretty much what you’d get.
That was the case with WWE2K20 as well.
I was hoping for something more like the Tony Hawk 1 + 2 remaster, which was very well done. They managed to keep the nostalgia while modernizing the older games. This shows it *can* be done, but in the case of GTA, they just didn’t bother.
I loved Tony Hawk remaster, shame it didn’t come to Steam
@ClockworkMansion It’s the definition of what a remaster should be imo
@ClockworkMansion 100% agree!
Tony hawk wasn’t a remaster it was a remake
@MUZ The people who made it called it a remaster. In fact, the official website says “Play the fully-remastered Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater™ & Tony Hawk’s™ Pro Skater™ 2 games in one epic collection”. Gonna believe the people who made the game over some random on the internet. Sorry.
Activision paid for Rage Against the Machine(THPS1+2) but Rockstar didn’t?
The Rockstar we loved drowned in the money they got from GTA Online 😢
Given the high standards of quality Rockstar usually have, and the vast amount of money GTA online has given them, there really isn’t an excuse for this.
@A. T. Smith to be fair the saints row remaster just ain’t much different to this, the physics and animations weren’t changed in saints row 3 they improved the graphics like here, but that’s a much newer game so it holds up better these games are too old it’s not an excuse though cause mafia 1 definitive edition is 🔥
@Budliky CZ Their mission structure indeed sucks… They redeem themselves on RDR2 though.
@H. A. mate they did not at least not in my eyes it was the same. Go here, start the mission, drive here mashing x like a ding dong, something goes wrong, shoot it, mission done repeat until the game is finished. I stopped at second camp and that was my story mode playthrough finished which I know very well i will never comeback to. I tried multiplayer in RDR and that was story mode without story. So only the shallow gameplay without anything to do. And I am not counting dailies as a content. Thats just random boring bullshit to keep the game sustained with their pointless crap like collect 3 herb. Guild Wars 2 had deeper fetch quest than this.
@Justin Tyler Rockstar’s parent company is ‘TAKE TWO INTERACTIVE’ they’ve had a history of rushing things. They are the reason why we never got single player DLC for gta 5.
They’re largely to blame for SA being put out too early
Remaster not remake
Rockstar missed the mark of quality for this “remaster” by a longshot. The trilogy lost its vibe without the heat waves, fog and the embarrassing rain that follow you like a storm cloud. The skybox can look nice at times, but lost that paint-like aesthetic that Vice City had among many other issues.
grove st games made it , they are trash
People are quoting “remaster” but rockstar never said remaster nor remake… if they didn’t that it would take a long time and a lot of resources. Resources that could be for GTA 6. Back in the day, GTA San Andreas cost them $120 million to make. Imagine how much it would for them now? It’s more of a refresh not a remaster. I’m happy with this as I can play my favourite games from my childhood updates for current consoles with updated controls with a fresher look. Although a remaster would be perfect if you’re ignorant to the facts stated above. This is something they only announced 2months ago.
@MrSteamedchicken And BTW your point isn’t valid at all. You’re right, they DIDN’T say “remaster” or “remake”. They said “Definitive Edition”, which makes this situation that much more embarrassing for them.Especially since this was released AFTER Mafia Definitive Edition. After that was released, they actually had the balls to call this their “Definitive Edition”? Ballsy ballsy ballsy lol.
