Properly remaking those games with today’s technology would be even better than a theoretical gta 6

if it's a good remaster at a reasonable price I will buy it, mostly because they old games could really benefit for an updated control system and minor graphical improvements.
Also they are not available on modern console except for the awful San Andreas port.
If they fuck up the graphics and style I will probably not buy it.

Well graphical mods look like dogshit but this is an official remaster by professional developers, I will be surprised if it will look like some ENB Series shit and I will not buy it.
We have the Halo, Mafia, Bluepoint Games remakes and they all look great.
EverydayBeast
thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Everyone will buy this.

not on consoles. Recently tried going back in on ps3, it was painful. Love the game, would definitely play a remaster of it.

No interest in remakes.

On one hand, yes I agree.
On the other, game development is a cruel mistress and I appreciate older games getting another chance to shine.
Vice City Stories is so dang underrated. It brought over a handful of gameplay improvements from San Andreas into the best environment.

I can understand the sentiment but i don't share it.
Max payne 3 use the euphoria engine and it's one of the best tps ever created in terms of controls\gunplay.
They just need to get their shit together when it comes to combat.

Have the strange feeling that these will be bundled with GTA5 EE as a bonus and you wont be able to buy them without GTA5 until sometimes in 2022.
Same shit Acti did with CoD4 remaster

Games were actually good and interesting back in 2001. Now they're mostly corporate trash, especially AAA titles. So a 2001 remastered game most of the time will beat a brand new 2021 game. I'm almost afraid to see if they end up ruining GTA 6. The storyline will probably be a lecture about how you're a shitty person for playing it along with Fortnite style graphics and a zoomer pop and EDM soundtrack... along with a battle royale multiplayer mode where all of the effort is put into.

They're not. They're gonna be map packs for GTA 5.

Max Payne 3 was the only, I repeat, ONLY Rage engine game ever released with decent controls.
the issue is, Max Payne 2 had better gameplay. for one, in MP3 your character could literally obfuscate your reticle and you couldn't aim correctly due to that. also the Euphoria engine animation AI could kill you at times when the physics just decided that you collided with something that you clearly didn't even remotely touch, and then send you flying to the side, in full view of the enemies.
Euphoria is a shitty thing to use on the main character. using it on AI characters is totally fine, like how The Force Unleashed used Euphoria to make your force abilities have cool effects on your opponents. they would try to grab on to stuff and to eachother etc.

It's a price to pay to have weight and some dynamic animations on the main character, some hate this thing, i personally love it if well balanced.
Like for example, i'm playing rdr1 and yeah the gameplay is snappier but the feeling is far more arcade and unrealistic than rdr2.
Tlou2 strike a good balance between heavy movement and precise control, but imho is not quite on the same level of heaviness of rdr2, they still feel like they float a bit instead of being part of the scenario (if you understand what i mean).
I just hate floaty stuff, that's probably why i don't enjoy a lot of japanese anime games that many people love, few japanese devs get heavy characters\animations right.

My issue with the classic games aren't the visuals, but the awful combat system and horrific animations. Also GTA lll just simply sucks compared to Vice City and San Andreas.

Agree. We don’t need remakes of 3D GTAs, just give us VI after 8 fucking years you morons.
You can remake 1&2, it won’t take much of your resources and can make a quick buck. And it’s something different.
Everyone’s nostalgia has to be fulfilled these days. It’s 10 times easier than to make a new game from scratch.

Makes sense, modders have been doing it for a while and taketwo started getting them removed from mod hubs.

I hope they add new songs for The ones that had to be taken out.

fuck gta 6 this is the real shit. been dreaming of a san andreas remaster for years. i love III + VC but gimme SA
See this is what I don't get. Let's say these remaster trilogy does happen, doesn't previous rumor dictate they would be coming to PS5 exclusively, not as multiplatform titles?
Rumors suggesting Sony want to buy Take 2, or Jim Ryan pouring out his cold dead heart about RockStar and Sony's ''special relationship'' at the PS5 launch event, these being the PS2 trilogy of GTA games. Sony investing x amount of money into T2. It's all stupid if the games go to other platforms too. It is money that could have been used elsewhere for actual exclusive games/new studios etc.

This is much needed as in my opinion the old games are too dated looking to go back to, the word I would use to describe them is crude.
Some old 3D games hold up fine, some don't, the PS2 GTAs are ones that don't.

If this turns out to be true, then i hope they remaster them well as i would replay Vice City and San Andeas with modern graphics and effects, as i'm not expecting or waiting for GTA 6 anymore, i don't even think about it now.

Same.
My gaming time is too limited to replay these.
Maybe it's being done by an external studio.
