21 Comments

1. I will buy this if they fix everything , i think its done after 3 years !!

2. 9 studios and 2000+ people working for them and they outsource it to a dev thats only ever worked on mobile games. they should of handled it in house or game it a dev that has more experience with the unreal engine

3. The grand theft auto trilogy DEFECTIVE EDITION

4. My hats off to everyone responsible for this breakdown. I was… really impressed with how in-depth a lot of the breakdowns were.

5. When you say something isn't that great, and they respond "please elaborate" …

6. Request to Rockstar for GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition

   Missing Features or Bugs that should be added back or resolved to the Game!

   Fix Model Multi Colored Texture Bugs and crashes.

   Improve CJ Model and other prominent NPCs. CJ clothing textures need to be improved.

   Improved Lighting in 24/7, 69$ Shops and Save Houses.

   Reinstate missing Songs. They have the funds to re-purchase the rights if artists are willing.

   Bring back PS2 Controls for all Minigames.

   A bridge in flint county by Angel Pine has a disappearing texture.

   San Andreas menu sounds are present in all 3 games, not the corresponding sounds to each game.

   Some of the Apartments and Trailers in the country towns have very dark distorted low textures.

   Add the original PS2 Blurry Ground Heat Wave back to San Andreas. (Blurry Mirage over roads, sidewalks and grounds)

   Add back Music to Casinos and Strip Clubs (Right Now it is silence)

   Remove snoring sounds from majority of Safe Houses (It sounds like your robbing a Home)

   Add San Andreas Orange Tint back to Evening Dusk.

   Fix and raise resolution on Cranes in Far East Liberty City Ports. (Cranes are every low resolution and clip builds when rotating}

   Bring back 2 Player Co-op to San Andreas.

   Bring back Cinematic Camera for all 3 games and bring back top down camera to GTA3.

   Add more time to the vehicle before it explodes after it gets knocked over. (Time was cut shorter for Definitive Edition)

   Some of the Apartments and Trailers in the country towns have very dark distorted low textures. (Some buildings have not seen any updates)

   Rocks, cliffs and ledges around water are low textures. (Should be updated like the rest of the textures)

   Rain needs to be transparent and louder. Rain Drops not making contact with water. (Rain is missing sound in GTA 3 Liberty City in most areas)

   Swimming needs a small speed boost.

   Add back original Aircraft (Planes, Helicopters, Amphibious Assault and Jetpack) PS2 flying handling physics. (They handle terrible now)

   Jetpacks using Modern Alt controls do not fly straight, as they sway constantly to the right. (Handling is also horrible)

   GTA 3 Claude is missing a lot of his subtle animations reacting to the environment. Also, GTA 3 is missing the wind and seagull sound effects at the docks.

   Bring back PS2 Controls for all Minigames. (New controls for most minigames from lifting weights to pool is a downgrade)

   Restore reflective paint jobs to GTA 3 vehicles.

   Improve Framerate on Nintendo Switch.

   Requested Features and Quality of Life editions.

   Option to toggle Fog On and Off to hide Map size.

   Add San Andreas CJ Shooting mechanics to Vice City and Liberty City (Strafing Left and Right while standing, Crouch and Rolling)

   Implement Story Mode Replay Missions option. (With all current weapons)

   Users should be able to select separate controls for Foot, Flight, and Vehicles.

   Missions need multiple checkpoints within a mission.

   Option to make asphalt Roads either Black, Grey or Dark Grey like GTA 3. (They look very washed out)

   The San Andreas Balaclava mask looks plastic and weird.(It should have a cloth texture like the original game)

7. Had these remasters been sold separatelly for $9.99, they had kept the OG versions, and didnt attack modders, rockstar would have saved themselves the headache.

8. Since when did Digital Foundry work for IGN?

9. When the game is this awful on every platform it seems silly comparing the different versions, though I'm sure you do it very well. Still, the first of your vids I've ever passed on, simply because its just a showcase of how inept a dev can be.
   Hope you get put on a better project more worthy of your talents!

10. Brilliant detective work and analysis, Michael.

    Three of the greatest, most influential games ever made. Three of the most ineptly, carelessly, criminally incompetent remasters ever made. Terrible shame.

11. I was SO looking forward to this release, but I decided to wait. I'm glad I did. I wanted to get it on Switch to play on handheld, but seeing all the problems it has I don't think that'll be a possibility

12. Too bad they started developing these “remasters” a few months before releasing (clearly). 3 classic GTA games on the Switch would have been a dream come true, instead we got a living nightmare! 😱🥺

13. Really disappointing. I'd hoped it would be given the love that Rockstar gives their other games. While I believe they've stated they are committed to fixing the issues, Cyperpunk 2077-style, I honestly don't see this happening. Cyperpunk 2077 made a ton of money in presales, likely enough to cover a lot of the work they still had to do. I doubt the Trilogy will make enough money or sell enough copies to warrant more than a few patches. I doubt these will ever be the remakes people imaged they were getting. You've just demonstrated that more difficult aspects of a remaster may not be technical. Fascinating!

14. The switch being garbage is never a surprise. Trash console

15. I'm praying for updates for my switch version I was…. very upset the day I bought this game… I'm willing to wait for the updates because I miss these game so much I just can't believe that this has happened, it just really sucks that I'm stuck with the worst version out of all of them..

16. They completely misunderstood the aesthetics of the games

17. Absolutely incredible video👏👏

18. Let's make a list with the best remasters/remakes of all time for consoles:
    Shadow of the Colossus
    Halo Anniversary 1 & 2
    Gears of War Ultimate Edition
    Fable Anniversary
    Tomb Raider Anniversary
    The Legend of Zelda Wind Wake HD & Twilight Princess HD
    Demon's Soul
    Resident Evil 2 Remake
    Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy
    Spyro Reignited Trilogy
    Yakuza Kiwami 1 & 2
    Conker Live and Reloaded (I know some disagree)
    SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated

    Some other great remastered games but with the minimal differences of resolution and framerate or some other that don't change so much the look of the games:
    Uncharted The Nathan Drake Collection
    The Last of Us Remastered
    Okami HD
    Gravity Rush Remastered
    Bayonetta & Vanquish
    Resident Evil (Gamecube version) + HD Remaster & 0 Remaster
    Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
    God of War 3 Remastered
    Darksiders Warmastered Edition

19. Dude on PC Ultra Uncapped FPS this game is SICK idk wtf yall talking ablut. Yall some entitled ungreatful zoomers

20. Maybe they should have just ported the games to the switch as they were already available on the other platforms

21. I didn't know these games were remastered by an independent company. I understand all the Rockstar studios must be working on GTA6 but the harm this has done to their brand image. They should have done this themselves or not done it at all.
