I wonder if they fixed it so you can swim in 3/VC? I've always hated how water literally killed you when you barely touched it.

I always wanted the ability to retrieve my car from the water with a tow truck.

Just enable ReShade and you'll have the same 'remaster'

These updates are pretty obviously not just post-processing effects.

 

[Darth Meteos]

I really love this. I'm excited to play San Andreas again. I hope the haven't changed anything mechanically, outside of maybe restoring some cut content.

 

[djnate27]

I bet you can't swim in GTA 3

Are you talking about me...cause I'm a black man? That's a stereotype!
Just kidding. I know what you mean. I can swim just fine.

Will the Switch Version Run at 60 FPS??

 

[hippy dave]

Might check it out on Switch ("try before I buy")

Still hanging out for GTA1&2 ports tho.

Will the Switch Version Run at 60 FPS??

this, this is what prevent me from pre-purchase it tbh.
If I can be sure it will be 60fps it would have been in my basket already.
right now so unsure that I better get it on computer ^^

GTA2 HD port yes please!

Because some people are never satisfied...no matter what.
If a billionaire were to die (let's say Mark Zuckerburg because he's a jerk) and leave a random person he never met a million dollars...that person would likely complain that he didn't leave him more, while others would just be grateful they got anything.

I just think it costs too much for what it is and kinda botches the aesthetics of original games, simple as that. I can appreciate good remakes and remasters when they show themselves (heck, I always recommend Yakuza Kiwami 1/2 and recent Spyro The Dragon remaster over originals), but this just ain't it :/

 

[Yomizana]

It looks much better than I thought it would. Nice!

 

[CoolMe]

Yeah, this is much better than what i expected, the visuals are quite decent actually(it could've been much worse believe me), but i'm more interested in the gameplay side of things including controls, camera, aiming, save system etc. The shooting is abysmal by modern standards i hope it's improved. The inclusion of GTAV like save system on the fly could help immensely imo, without having to deal with any unnecessary traversing and the like. The 60 fps gameplay is much appreciated too. Though i would still like to see a gameplay footage of it. And what about cheats? The GTA experience couldn't be complete without it, specially San Andreas..

 

[ZipMartin]

It looks much better than I expected. The characters kept the low poly feel but got some texture treatment that made them look cartoonish and actually closer to the concept art.

 

[Payne]

So confused, I honestly don't get what people like, to me this looks like crap for most part, but each to their own.

couldn't they have gone back and rebuilt it from start like mafia definitive edition? these games deserve that, and rockstar CAN do it

 

[Karones]

Doing a big remaster and changing all the textures and stuff was never the point and would look really bad, it wouldn't be as nostalgic or might change the atmosphere, it's supposed to feel like a ps2 game but as we remember, not as it actually looked like.

Nevertheless, the big changes are in the controls, framerate and quality of life changes. These will make the game really enjoyable and on par with this gen gameplay wise.

 

[pLaYeR^^]

No physical copy for PS5?

 

[TheZander]

Man I was really hoping the trilogy was going to be GTA I, II and China Wars.

 

[cl4ssik]

Unfortunately it was Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

 

[ZeroFX]

Looks like trash, expensive and rumors that the game content will suffer "adaptations for the modern times" (not only the controls).

 

[cvskid]

Lets hope this was worth rockstar ceast and desisting all gta projects and taking down every purchasable version of gta 3 vice city and san andreas.

Being able to swim in this new version of gta 3 and vice city would be nice.

 

[tpax]

Physical version release in December. That's a little bit unfortunate. Not that I was going to buy it anyway, but I'd appreciate a Switch "early access" copy being available before November 11th.

But yeah, it looks okay. I hope we'll somehow be able to patch the original music into the Switch versions.
