These GIFs just confirmed my fears, there's no QA in these. Diaz has a Widescreen TV from the mid to late 90's despite the game being set in 1986, there's many textures that we have sources for but have just been awkwardly upscaled, CJ is half upscaled and half remastered. It feels all over the place but it seems to be clear enough to keep most people happy.

Aw sh*t, here we go again.

Great job with the animations btw.

Not bad

Looks like these MP4's have metadata, they were edited last month. xmp:CreateDate="2021-10-06T19:28:39-04:00" xmp:ModifyDate="2021-10-06T19:28:51-04:00" xmp:MetadataDate="2021-10-06T19:28:51-04:00" xmp:CreatorTool="Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018.0 (Windows)"

These stickers of a phone and hockey stick in GTA III's HUD style are interesting

Okay. I also noticed that the TV is now a widescreen CRT TV from the mid-2000s, which clearly didn't exist in the 1980s. Wikipedia

WAIT. They've changed contrast?

Reflections

Me: YOU CAN'T DO THIS ROCKSTAR THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD. ROCKSTAR:

Rant incoming.. disclaimer: I do hope the game proves me wrong and I will feel like a fool for talking sh*t I try not to indulge in the negativity around this project too much, but every time we get something new, it just makes me sad because it shows me the golden age of Rockstar is over, and whoever is calling the shots now doesn't really have a true understanding of what makes these games so special. Big names are leaving the studio left and right, Sam is still there but he was never involved in the actual development in a hands on way, he's printing so much money with GTA:O that he's probably so far up his own ass I doubt even he cares about this trilogy anymore, his work is done and he has nothing left to prove. Who tf are these dudes making this half-assed remaster? like really... It's possible to look at it from the most positive angle possible like some of the fans here do, and I can feel satisfied for a brief moment, but then I remember that this company is one of the biggest and most wealthy gaming companies in the world and they really should do better than this. They should be pushing the boundaries and aiming to set a new benchmark for what a remaster can be. This trilogy may be an 'ok' way to play the games, but they missed a huge opportunity to show the younger generation why these games are so great, and us older fans will probably end up just playing the original releases with a few mods like we've been doing for the last 15 years. These games are so legendary and iconic, and this is how they service them? Nah bro, gtfo with that cheap ass GSG sh*t.

Contrast fixed. Good job!

Metadata update GTA 3: Vice City: San Andreas: Save format was changed from .b to .sav. Naming convention remains.

Is that any better ?

Lol

I found an old post of mine, from my cringe teenager days. That is wildly accurate.

In two days, hopefully

In two days World War 8 will start on this forum

what's going on with his face ?

I won't buy this trilogy until I see some gameplay

Should I also be glad they still sell broken games today and in the near future, and at full price too? After all, they could have just ignored them, so keep consuming and get excited for the next product (GTA 6), right? I swear some of you would eat poop as long as it's Rockstar branded, and it shows

https://streamable.com/0hqjk5 Of course WDS didn't use the XBOX hand animations for cutscenes. It's kinda weird how Rockstar Vienna's "Remaster" of GTA III for XBOX is still better in stuff like this.. This was released in 2003.

Everyone who doesn't like the new graphics:

inb4 eCola x Sprunk event takes place at the same time the new update launches. Providing a bonus for completing the new contract that has you assassinate someone who's a parody of Cristiano Ronaldo snubbing eCola.

Absolutely gotta trust a source who joined Twitter less than a month ago.

Sonny: How's the sun tan? Tommy: I ain't got no sun tan. Sonny: Don't lie to me Tommy! Look at those arms!

Literally everyone hated the oily skin that they put on characters on the xbox 360/mobile version in SA and they still want to put that effect in this version. GSG learned nothing.

New sticker

Dude I still remember when you faked Bully II leaks Who are you to speak on that high ground?

Attention to detail… They really just added a modern flat widescreen HD format TV to 1986 Vice city Minor things but that and RINIMOS shirt talk about the actual care GSG put in the game. None

Not only did they take down re3/vc and Vice Cry for this, but they also charge $60 for an unpolished mess. But hey, some good samaritan said we should enjoy they even do this.

Yes, the game will be released this week. Therefore we will get gameplay footage.
