PS5 and the Series X logos (SVGs) are already in the Rockstar Support website source, ready for the launch.

After 8 years on GTA V, it's time to go home...

Got bored so decided to add the games to my Steam library just to see what it would look like and now i'm even more excited.

Imagine

hey guys, I made a little document (designed to be printed as a booklet) to track your progress through a trilogy 100% + achievements run. I made it for myself but thought I'd might aswell share it. https://1drv.ms/b/s!AjNILDOLBuKogZg0lry_9w1WlZRY9Q?e=Z9sXS6 Lemme know if there's anything missing/wrong in it.

There we go, the entire map (I think lol) This HDRi background is so confusing lol

You guys heard the man. Trilogy is coming to Kindle. f*ck yeah.

"across-the-board upgrades while still maintaining the classic look and feel of the originals"

I think you are incorrect. I think we will get a trailer much sooner. Why do they care about the hype around GTAO and RDO? Those events aren't going to make them money. Selling these new games will. I promise, they are about to hype them up big time. This month. For the anniversary of GTA III. I expect a info blowout as early as next week.

8K Top-Down of Vice City (data warning): https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/318886239170330634/899259468733349908/8ktopdown.jpg A bit rough but quite impressive.

GTAForums is always so fun when we're only minutes away from the announcement. You don't get that feeling on Twitter

Another cool thing to add:

We're all suddenly going to forget RDR2 released just a few years ago. I might be critical of Rockstar sometimes but one mistake doesn't doesn't define their passion for quality. For all we know E&E is probably not even their priority.

yo alloc8or give us sum more leaks

Rockstar is also preparing for pre-orders on the Rockstar Store website (inc, the RGL, which is now integrated into the Store website and console copies, but console ones may direct a link directly to the digital stores on PlayStation and Xbox). Oh, it also seems they won't charge for pre-orders until the release, nice touch (could only apply to merchandise but we'll see)

Parik has done god's work and added alpha support to DragonFF. Will share more renders!

Waiting until friday be like...

lmao YouTube recommended the GTA III Mobile Anniversary Trailer video and look what i've found iPhone 4.. good old times with that 3,5" display running iOS 5

what? you can't see it? it's a real picture of GTA VI

...s ... Steak?

Not weird, many game studios still are even in the US. Not all but still a few AAA ones I believe. Rather have slow-mo and employees doing things at their own pace than having them working too hard, especially when in the comfort of their own homes. I hope the AAA industry is convinced that hybrid is a good model. ----- Meanwhile, looks like the virtual photography community is hyped themselves, look at this cool bullet art of Misty!

Because it's really not relevant to speculation and was pretty much tin foil hat material which would most likely derail the topic just for the sake of bashing on R* about something unrelated. Given that this is in development for at least 2 years according to official job listings mentioning remasters in 2019, there is no "distraction tactic" or conspiracy with the Trilogy announcement/release, since it was a thing even before E&E. Thanks.

Rewatching scarface to get the vice city vibes . I gotta say if rockstar never goes back to the vice city 1980s for GTA VI i will be gutted . They can definitely top gta vice city vibes with a solid fresh of the boat story and drug smuggling. Truly hope the project americas was legit

I'd say this is a very controlled marketing plan. Usually in most cases Rockstar intends to hash URLs of content that they don't want people to see. However, in this case with the Trilogy, we can easily make guesses with URL names. Plus, no screenshots seem to be up on their servers so this is definitely part of marketing. Rockstar well knows we'd dig through almost everything

Kuruma is the first vehicle that we drive in any 3D Grand Theft Auto game, and the first time we see this vehicle is in the intro.

Just to compare. This capture (was posted before. I suppose it is from a mod version) feature dynamic lighting and shadows (see the shadow projected over the hangar on right side). With just these 2 things, the graphic improve is notorious. And this, a capture from the original (it's not the same hour, but it's still night time, with the streetlights on). The shadow of the streetlights are not dynamic (It depends on the time of day and night). Only shadows from the nearest streetlights. The two shadows projected from the car are simulated (2 boxes). So, with just dynamic light and shadows, ambient occlusion.... it will be a great graphic improve.

There's this 3D HD radar mod for SA if you guys haven't seen it, looks pretty cool https://www.gtainside.com/en/sanandreas/mods/84427-san-andreas-hd-radar-map-3d/ Whoever made SA's map design and layout is simply a genius, i mean you've all heard it an all but damn SA's map has everything you want, airports where it actually makes sense heading to the airport and taking off to another city unlike V where you take the plane and as soon as you take off you'd be like "now where???", the desert, the forests, the mountain, more than a city, it's packed with everything it's like telling a kid no you can't have this toy or that toy..you can have them all! It's really good that they've thought about remastering the Trilogy, otherwise i wouldn't know what we're supposed to get busy with until VI shows up, all timed perfectly.

The vegetation looks amazing with mods A classic preset with high-res textures would be amazing to have in TDE.

However IF they do add scores to the game, let players TURN THEM OFF! It was annoying how you couldn't do this in GTAV without also turning off the Radio, have it as a separate option so you can keep the radio and ambience but not have a score playing.

I mean, depends on what happens. If they release a buttload of information then it's: If alloc8or leaks more it's: If neither happens it's:

Guaranteed, I'd say. Especially given all the info that was already uploaded to the servers.

Yeah, the leaks happen every single time totally on accident. Lol. You don't see the bigger picture. Leaks happen. Leaks get posted on forums. Youtubers get content from forums. And ta da, millions of people see the Leaks via YouTube videos. Marketing without $1 spent by R*. You are right, they are a multi-billion dollar company, because they do things a certain way. This way.

Here are all the possible selections for the Support site, looks like there's some platforms that aren't even used like the Kindle lol.

This really might drop this week i am so damn excited

Ray Liotta was always a difficult actor even outside R* so I am really inclined to believe that the rumours of him not being pleased at all about doing Vice City were true and I don't think anyone has come back for anything lol. Remember, again, this is a remaster, not a complete remake from the ground up of these games. A remaster can still have improved graphics, mechanics, some new assets, etc. while using the original scripts, voices, and stuff.

That looks bad tbh

Fun Fact : The next video on the RockstarGames Youtube channel will be their 300th video.

One cool thing about Vice City's map design (well, it holds for SA and III to some extent too) is that even if you increase draw distance you won't be able too see 100% of it. The roads kind of go on curves instead of straight on. (Reminds me of Brazilian cities lol) I have no idea what happened to the sidewalk

Then this guy shows up...

Below your selection, Xbox Cloud Gaming which shows an Xbox Game Pass logo. I think some of those may have been added a while back when E&E was still supposed to release in November, but Game Pass is an interesting addition. Trilogy there? Here's some Inspect Element magic to make it appear.

I wouldn't mind if they give like, a screenshot everyday leading up to Friday with a trailer.

Juicy 6 billion polygon steak with a 12K texture w/ a full PBR pipeline. And it's not reused between games. Unique steaks for each game.

500+ pages of self blueballing

The heist in Las Venturas where you parachute out of the top of the pyramid building. So cool.

I mean the alien event in GTAO is cool and all but next week is GTA3 anniversary week, they will most definitely be doing things and maybe it's also when they open preorders for the trilogy.

Now all I need would be a remaster of that Scarface game.

Take-Two hired this guy

The one thing the new games have done that has spoiled me a bit is dynamic music in missions. After replaying all the games the one I felt it the most was in IV when the cutscene stops and they throw you into silence except for gunshots and that feels now dated in comparison. Not necessarily *hoping* for dynamic music in these games but I would be happy if it is there, as you can always trust R*'s music team.

Would be cool to add LCS and VCS as eventual DLCs. If not, there could be two protagonists in VC and III. Like one with Vic Vance in 1984, then two years later in 1986. Like they did in RDR 2.
