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

You know why.

 

[ComputerBlue]

I don’t care too much about a huge visual upgrade or overhaul as much as I would love one. What I would like though is modernized controls, weapon wheel, let me aim and shoot properly, let me drive properly, let me freely use the camera, L3 to sprint I don’t want to spam X. Everything on top of that is just a bonus in my opinion.

 

[Javthusiast]

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.

And it would suck, cause you know Rockstar has all the money in the world to get all songs back, but they probably won't.

 

[Derktron]

I don't it means much, The Witcher 3 is also on Switch just saying.

The Switch should not even be in comparison towards mobile devices. Yeah it’s a handheld mobile device but you can’t play Doom or games like Witcher 3 on mobile devices just yet.

 

[mckmas8808]

I don't think anything is changing in GTA5 but there was already word that these are being changed to fit "today's gaming audience".

Meaning no killing hookers, no off-color jokes, completely neutered and inoffensive.

It's hard for me to believe any of that will be changed. It's part of the GTA brand. It almost makes me wonder if Rockstar themselves created that rumor, just to get the "Outrage Marketing" started. Sadly most here on GAF don't know that outrage marketing is a thing, so they fall for the same tricks every......single........time.

That's just outrageous, sir.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Hopefully the rumor that there won't be a physical version is not true.

About no screenshots and videos. WTF??

 

[Hendrick's]

So just an up rez then.

 

[Elbow Identity Shallow]

I honestly don't know if I have any interest in this release at all. I suppose if it's a significant enough upgrade, including things like the incredibly dated controls that these games have then it may be worth considering at some point.

 

[synchronicity]

Rockstar continuing to announce re-releases without any info or pics of enhancements

They're just intoxicated by their own smell.

 

[Elios83]

No footage? I wouldn't be surprised if they were trying to sell the originals in 4k60fps with hugely reworked track lists and some censored/altered stuff...

 

[MiguelItUp]

And it would suck, cause you know Rockstar has all the money in the world to get all songs back, but they probably won't.

Oh, definitely. It'd be very fitting with this "definitive edition", I mean, on the surface (at least until we see more) it feels like a quick and low effort cash grab for them. An assumption on my end, sure, but a lot of this just sounds like the same games with HD textures, etc. So, maybe enough for some, but may not be enough for others.

[Major Angry]

You think Rockstar Games would have artwork with the main character from each game instead of these females.

 

[Esppiral]

20 years of GTA! Almost 10 of GTAV alone....

 

[Zero7]

No screenshots and a mobile version too. My low expectations are well in check

 

[mansoor1980]

 

[Trogdor1123]

Can't wait for them to be 30fps lol

 

[kiphalfton]

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

What a coincidence. I'm sure it has nothing to do with lack of QOL updates and/or graphics updates.

 

[Laptop1991]

I'm getting it, looking forward to doing these again, well apart from the driver mission in Vice City.

 

[kiphalfton]

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.

Good luck getting my Xbox version.

Seriously though, if that's the case that's fucking stupid. I paid for steam versions and I shouldn't have to worry about them being overwitten/replaced by a new version. I can't remember what game had this happen (one of the Mafia games possibly), but it's so totally anticonsumer.

 

[kiphalfton]

I said what I said.

I can make up some arbitrary achievements for you if it makes you feel any better.

Boot up the game, save the game, walk 5 feet, etc. boom achievement. Do you feel better now?

 

[SSfox]

Not even a new gameand it's already almost at 200K. I'm telling you the day they'll announce new game the internet will blow up

 

[Kerotan]

I platinumed gta 3 and vice city in the past 3 years so unless they're completely different I'll only be trying to 100% San Andreas.

 

[Golgo 13]

It's going to look the same.

%100 this. Low effort cash-grab incoming. Perhaps this is from corporate pressure (Take-Two) to put out more frequent releases.

“You want more frequent games? How about a shitty re-release, you fucking pricks” is how I imagine that went down.

Also, this will sell millions upon millions of copies and be a huge success regardless.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Is it free for who already have the origina... "via the Rockstar Games Launcher"! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

 

[Sub_Level]

JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP

 

[TGO]

GTAIII, Vice City & San Andreas, PS2 Classics versions in rapper with 20th Anniversary title.
That's what you'll get!

 

[coffinbirth]

It's like no one in this thread understands that Unreal Engine is scalable? What even is this?

 

[Putonahappyface]

I'm almost certain quite a few soundtracks will be edited out and all majorly offensive material edited out. We can forget a major visual upgrade too, just upscaleed resolution and an increasement in frame rate.

Rockstar executives unanimously sing the following.

 

[TGO]

Rockstar Removing PS2 Versions of GTA from PS Store

Wasted

www.pushsquare.com

Making sure those new ones are the only ones you can Play..

 

[nbcjr]

100% current mods will have better graphics

 

[Swift_Star]

I'm browsing the other site and people are dog piling T2 saying the remasters will suck but... We don't have even a screenshot yet.

 

[eastcoastkody]

kinda nervous to see if they butchered them. Because those rereleases of the Trilogy looked horrible. And these are the same ppl that went back and patched out music from GTA 4, a 2008 game....like recently

It makes sense they are doing this.

The PS2 ones are ancient, why would anyone play this?

 

[zcaa0g]

3 badly needs a poly upgrade, but I doubt they take it that far.

 

[Warablo]

Curious to know what these modern gameplay enhancements are.

“across-the-board upgrades including graphical improvements and modern gameplay enhancements”

 

[Bernd Lauert]

I expect the lowest effort possible.

 

[Hugare]

Mobile
No footage so far

Its already pretty obvious whats gonna happen

Anyone expecting more than PS2 games running at 4K/60 are in for a disapointment

 

[Alter_Fridge]

Now that is satire

 

[rodrigolfp]

Curious to know what these modern gameplay enhancements are.

Shitty animation priority + 500ms of input lag. And maybe some over the shoulder camera while aiming...

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Looking forward to it. The old controls make some of the missions hard as compared to how I finished them years ago.

Milk The Definitive Edition.

It's the good kind of milk.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Will grab this for Switch if it comes in physical form and with all 3 games on the cartridge.

Obligatory. Some of the most frustrating controls...ever.

 

[Sub_Level]

That one only took me two tries luckily. The plane levels in San Andreas, however...that is some evil shit.

 

[AlteredForms]

I'm curious about an upcoming remake for the top-down games. I own GTAI/II already on Steam and would purchase an updated version with the London expansion included.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

So GTA6 will be about 2024 or 2025?

 

[R6Rider]

So GTA6 will be about 2024 or 2025?

First is the GTA V 10 Year Anniversary Edition

 

[engstra]

I don't really understand this. These games are already available on modern consoles. What's actually new here?
