I'll wait for the "Remastered" version in 6 years.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
I was excited to see this but thinking about it, I am not sure I am actually interested. I guess I will see what they actually look like and how they play. The updated Mafia really didn't do it for me and that's a game I absolutely loved the first 3 times I played it.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
I'm very in, pending reviews and price. I doubt I play 3 again (although I might run around for a couple of hours.) I never quite finished Vice City (I always get stuck on the same mission, where you have to rescue Tubbs... er, I mean Lance), so I'll give that one another shot. San Andreas is one of my favorite games, ever. I liked it better than IV or V.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
I'll give it a look, but maybe after some impressions are posted here. I've tried to replay San Andrea a couple of times in the past year, but the controls are so bad it wasn't worth the trouble. It would be nice to try it with decent game pad support.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
I had the same experience with Vice City. One aspect that will definitely make it easier is the modern controls. It's said that they've redone the controls to match modern GTA. Vice City had offset aiming when trying to run it on a modern computer that made frustrating. And the surprising thing is, they've used the Unreal Engine. I thought they would have used their own in-house rage engine.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
GTA V is still the only GTA game I've ever finished, so I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
Watching this. Some of these changes really have me looking forward to this more. Especially the ability to restart missions when you fail - that's a huge one. In the old ones if you failed, you'd restart back at your safe house. You'd then have to drive clear across town, recollect armor and ammo, and then drive to the mission giver. If it was a tough mission (I'm looking at you, Vice City), it would sometimes take five minutes or longer just to start the next try, and it got to be really, really tedious, and made failing suck that much more.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
I know I'm in the minority, but I feel GTA IV was the superior game to V.
And these changes to me feel more like a remake than a remaster, considering they're moving to Unreal engine and redoing just about everything from textures , lighting systems, models and controls making them more total overhauls. That's the fine line between remaster and remake.

Nobody dipped their toes in yet? I'm still deep in Forza Horizon 5 myself but I figured someone would take the leap.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
Mixed reviews from Kotaku:
None of this stuff—the lighting, strange models, clipping issues, texture mistakes, and general wonkiness—is a huge dealbreaker. But this is a $60 package that is claiming to be the “Definitive Edition” of these games. And right now… it doesn’t feel like it.
It’s not all bad, of course. The controls are a definite highlight. You can now free aim and auto-aim with the left trigger in a way that feels more like GTA V than GTA Vice City. The controls aren’t as smooth as newer GTA games, but generally, the controls made life easier during missions.
...
Yet, right now I’d recommend not grabbing the Trilogy collection on any platform. Currently, these games feel floppy and rough in a way that the old games didn’t, even taking into account some of the original clunkiness present in these games. But the new collection seems to add more glitches to the mix, some of which seem to be bugs that originated back in the famously awful San Andreas mobile port.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Also a video for each games showing some of the improved visuals at that link. Songs missing gonna ruin it.Also there's word on IGN on cheats that have been removed for "technical reasons" and PC Gamer details over 40 songs missing from in-game radio stations.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
Yeah I saw an article today listing the 40 songs that were missing, some of them ones I mostly remember from the GTA games. So sad...

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
Give it a little while. I'm sure it'll all be modded back in - apparently the tracks are still present in the game, just disabled. I also noticed that while a bunch of tracks were gone from SA and VC (Vice City's stations suffered the most), GTA 3 is intact. I guess that soundtrack from Scarface isn't that hot of commodity.

Apparently they pulled the PC version. Considering how careful they are about their games usually how does this happen?

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
I wonder if this is related to the fact that they accidentally included copies of all of the uncompiled, unencrypted master files with it. If so, that cat's way, way out of the bag.

Then maybe someone can use them to fix this crap. I saw a twitch streamer playing vice city for a few minutes and it looked like crap and not just visually.

Maybe they've taken down the servers until they've fixed it, but that would disrupt all their products.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
Looks like you might be right - authentication servers are back online (after like 30+ hours), but you still cannot play or purchase the trilogy:
"The Rockstar Games Launcher is now online, but GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is unavailable to play or purchase as we remove files unintentionally included in these versions. We're sorry for the disruption and hope to have correct ones up soon."
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
Well, it's now playable, but only barely. The experience isn't noticeably better than the originals. Graphics are awful, controls are bad and I can't even get GTA 3 to start on my machine. I'm not happy that I took the plunge.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
I guess the short of it is that someone screwed up by including those files and they've delisted it until they can fix it.

Re: [Rockstar] Grand Theft Auto the Trilogy Definitive Edition
Found a neat looking mod for GTA V that should release this year.. Wasn't sure where to put it so here it is.
Grand Theft Auto 5 gets an amazing Batman: Arkham Asylum Mod
Grand Theft Auto 5 gets an amazing Batman: Arkham Asylum Mod
As you will see, JulioNIB has implemented numerous moves and a combat system that is similar to the one in the Batman: Arkham games.
Alongside the new combat system, this Batman Mod will allow you to use his grapple gun hook and glide with his cape. Players can also use batarangs and call special weapons and vehicles. Not only that, but Batman has access to batclaw kick and dive bomb attacks, as well as the disarm target, smoke, freeze, incendiary and electric shock gadget attacks.
