I think Sam going to R* London is more believable than him leaving. R* London IIRC does have at least one of the R* writers and it would make zero sense for Sam to continue wearing R* colours when he appears in recent Circoloco pictures, forming a partnership with them last year, and the R* Instagram account reposting his birthday pics (on Stories) a few weeks ago, if he was just going to leave. Not to mention he did buy a new house in the UK as well. He could just want to take the helm closer to home instead of being in the Big Apple. Plus, this:

The developers of San Andreas Definitive Edition have replaced the keyboard texture with a 2008-ish MS Windows notebook keyboard.

Looks like people here don't know what a remaster is. Old games re-released by Nightdive Studios are remasters. Stubbs the Zombie is a remaster. GTA V for PC is a remaster. GTA DE is a piece of sh*t.

Possibility to buy a new phone with "applications" to be able to see our warehouses/businesses, see the contents of the garages and choose the delivery location of Pegasus vehicles on the map. More colors for the theme, wallpapers and ringtones/sfx, like GTA IV. More phone shapes with different brands, not just iFruit. Bring back vipluxuryringtonesdotcom

i want to hide contacts, like radio stations. i really dont need Wendy's, KDJ's and Sussanta's and all alike in my phonebook. Lester, Mechanic, MMI (sometimes Assistant). That's all I need.

Avon is a confirmed kill, his pen drive necklace with the Cliffford base code was never found meaning it was atomized or was recovered by another party - Doomsday Heist, Act 3 Finale Post Phonecall from Lester. His Clones/Androids are still operational - Casino Heist, Silent & Sneaky Laser Drill Prep Variant. The IAA are analysing at least the Cliffford Juggernauts. - LS Tuners, Agency Contract Given the first cliffhanger was that we don't know if Cliffford survived or not is giving R* the leeway to explain how he returns should he ever do so. Thing is; unless they add Doomsday Act 4 & 5 to the Facility Screen for a main storyline, they'll likely make him return so people who haven't done the Doomsday Heist will get a low-down in a Doomsday 2 intro cutscene, just like how the Casino Heist handled itself loose enough so it didn't require players to own and have completed the Casino Storyline. --------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: I've made a post or two in the past listing the post Doomsday references to Cliffford and even myself before the renaissance era kicked off in 2019 was full-on jump the shark, Aliens in Doomsday 2 to end GTA Online which people hated the idea of. Why is this getting so many Likes now?

Pretty amazing that all you need to get some people back on your side is by giving out 3 twenty year old games that were handed out for free plenty of times before this remaster was even in the early stages of it's production. It's not like Rockstar are giving these out for free. It's only being given out to remaster purchasers and at that point they've lost nothing and only ever gained a modicum of PR since the remaster is a full price game. It only coming back to RGL only proves that the remaster was R*'s attempt to give an excuse to separate even more of their catalogue from Steam, and because the remaster is now the laughing stock of the internet they're trying to manipulate their fans again. If you still take companies like R* at their word then you clearly have learned nothing from this fiasco.

The GTA Online team, consisting of a single person and a cat are helping EA to fix BF2042 as well. The cat is HR according to LinkedIn.

And again, i hope for some nice juicy QoL updates.

You guys are being little bit overdramatic, don't you think? Do you think Sam Houser was the guy who created the art at Rockstar or developed the gameplay? There are still many important and talented people left at Rockstar like Rob Nelson or Aaron Garbut who could easily take over without any changes visible. You may find it hard to believe, but every person in a multi million dollar company is replaceable.

Modding is the reason I even found this forum in the first place. It started out with GTA garage.

Heists > Arena War Any PvE content is good content.

With Dr Dre all but confirmed to be part of the next DLC, what are the odds that his stolen car turn out to be his signature blue Impala? It'll make a lot of people here happy.

Microsoft and Sony are most likely already going through the certification process for the DLC (final step before release). Reassigning teams to work on the DEs at this point won't affect the DLC.

I can't I'm dying with this one

On that note it seems like there's still backlash against Rockstar despite their "apology". I'm glad people are finally seeing through their bullsh*t.

Yep, this just proves what we have kept saying since the announcment of the DE now. I also spent some time going through all the files inside the PAK and some textures, well, let's just say they might get into slight trouble if gaming news sites will write something about it (Microsoft Windows Logo on all keyboards in GTA SA for example Yes: there are games that have this logo in the game as well, but it is usually so extremely compressed that you actually have to know what the logo looks like to recognize it) EDIT: omg, you have to see this

This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion but I feel like heists are starting to get a tiny bit repetitive now. Don't get me wrong, the Tuners contracts are fairly fun and I'm glad we got Cayo Perico but I think having yet another heist would be too much. I don't want heists to be done every year, I'm concerned heists will be "less special" and they get normalised if we have them really often - making the idea of a new heist less exciting. If this upcoming update is heist themed, that means that we would've had heists every year, for three years in a row (if you count the contracts in LS Tuners, that means we've had new heists in every update three times in a row too). This is why DCH is one of my favourite DLC's - even though CPH is way easier to grind out and get money from, DCH felt like a huge deal since it was the closest thing we had to single player heists in online and it improved so much on DDH. Plus, since it's been out for a couple of years now, people actually know how to play it so doing it with randoms is actually somewhat bearable Basically, although I still enjoy heist themed updates/content and would like to have more in the future, I think the rate at which we're currently receiving it is a bit too much.

Yeah, like getting the games from a better store. Really, this whole "apology" rings all the wrong bells to me. It's not "we're sorry we screwed up", it's "we're sorry we got caught screwing up, now take those old games you demanded so hard, but only in our own store, and shut the f*ck up".

If anybody here lives in NYC you should go and if you see Sam Houser there ask him for GTA VI. It’s the perfect opportunity.

In hindsight remastering games this old and this big to the level fans expect would probably require a team so big you might as well do a ground up remake tbh. The Mass Effect trilogy is a remaster people use as a great example of how to do it but those games are much, much more recent, already run on Unreal, have solid enough PC ports they can use as a foundation, and visually speaking (visuals, animations, etc) are just in a way better position to give a fresh coat of paint and you can't really go wrong. It's why, though I completely understand concerns, I'm not as hesitant as some about a potential IV remaster. Games from the 360/PS3 era remaster so, so much easier, it's on an engine they are very comfortable with and they have a PC version to use as the foundation, tho admittedly not a great PC version but it's something. Similar thinking is why a potential RDR1 remaster is a little more scary despite being more recent than IV, there's no PC version and the engine it's on is a clusterf*ck if stories are to be believed, which is also why I wouldn't be surprised if the rumours the RDR1 remaster (if real) is more of a hybrid remake/remaster where they've sorta rebuilt it as RDR2 DLC.

I left Rockstar Games today. My RFID card and login credentials are no longer working. Couldn't even go to the toilet. Pesky beeping and red lights everywhere.

Well, the RT3000 is now in game! And there are the other top options: Hard Top and No Top (duh) The wheels are temporary, unless you guys think they look good then I'll keep them. Now I know this may be a bit controversial, but I've decided to not change any design elements on the car due to lack of time and I think the cars design is okay to me. The model will be unlocked as always, so if anyone wants to change the car they are more than welcome to. There is still alot of work to do, mostly boring stuff like LOD's, collisions, stuff like that. I'm going to try to get this done by the end of the month at the latest, so keep checking here for more progress or hopefully a full release.

wouldn't surprise me if there is some little truth to it, considering how the model for the frozen alien is called plg_01_nico_new maybe they wanted to put him there as an easter egg but decided not to because it would be silly to see him dead and frozen in america in 2003 (and/or start mass riots if it meant he was canonically killed off like this, taking (2013) bury the hatchet mission into account)

«The testers (R*) care I guess...» Embarrasing, this seems to confirm GSG developers are lazy twats.

You want to know what's really embarrassing? While Rockstar and Take2 propagandists trip all over themselves trying to fumble for half-hearted, lukewarm apologies, parsing them with excuses and righteous indignation, the modders have been hard at work actually fixing the issues. The same modders who have been fixing problems in these Trilogy games for decades. The same modders who have been improving so many facets of these games. The same modders who, instead of being acknowledged and lauded with praise by Rockstar, have been targeted for persecution. Have you guys seen this awesome video? Less than two weeks after this abomination of a launch, the modders have already made great progress. Too bad the same can't be said for Rockstar and their corporate masters at Take2.

I want an option to sort my garages in the Menu. All my most used cars are spread out over that f*cking list.

My own predictions: Rockstar Twitter tease on the 30th with a 5/6 second clip on loop and with a Newswire tease on the 2nd. Full reveal on the 7th/9th on the Newswire. Release date on the 14th. Just spitballin' here #Team: 14th

You realize that R* has more than 100 employees, right? I truly doubt anyone from GTAO team would be needed to fix the trilogies. In fact I think R* is not fixing ANYTHING rn,in the regards of DE. GSG were the ones contracted, they need to fix it as well. "Repair plan" are key words here, and it's usually done by the contractor not the client.

Lets see... They contain the original game files which can be used with re3/reVC III and VC are both complete and uncensored, with no missing music, SA is easily downgraded to restore the missing music They can be easily downgraded to the less broken versions SilentPatch can be installed, fixing what issues remain God knows how many mods already exist They're superior to the Defunct Edward Why wouldn't you want them?

At the end of the day people will assume and decide that what they did is 100% bad intentions because their emotions go through the roof. I think it's pretty unfair to do despite you being upset with the company. It's a clear pattern too. Outcome don't matter, good or bad. People are getting upset because Rockstar returns the classic games to their own launcher, I get it. But this is such a typical human behavior. Once it's taken away, people complain. Not in 10 years anyone had complained, ever. No one talked about it, and once it's gone, hell breaks lose. Knowing what measures you can take to "fix up" the game, don't matter if it comes from Rockstar Games launcher or not, and if it comes down to spending money and you don't want to give it to them, then just don't buy it from their platform. And if the majority agrees with this, quite sure they will return to Steam or wherever at some point. And with the file check, you can easily bypass this and modify the game as you like. If people really hate Rockstar Games so much with everything they are currently doing and will do, then don't support them and move on onto something better but no one is doing that either. So it's just an endless loop of complaining. Community has spoken the last week and Rockstar acknowledged. They responded and people still complain, you see what I mean?

That's a very very good idea, there's just one problem. What'll happen is that Rockstar will ban everyone BUT these guys instead. They'll ban people whosing how to pick up Blue/Yellow Sentinels/Sandkings, they'll bacn people making fun Cayo PErico vids/guides and they'll ban peopledoing Buyers Beware videos or something like that. And then they'll promote the cheaters and mod menu users because why not?

A view of what's possible with these ini changes. You're not going to get GTA IV style bumper-to-bumper traffic, but it's definitely an improvement to my eyes at the cost of slightly quicker vehicle pop-in. Working on an updated version.

Johnny's recovery time between "Better Get Used To It" and "The Saint and the Sinner" is indeed awkward. He's shot in the neck and apparently that isn't enough to kill him, and just a week later he's crying while giving a speech at Billy's funeral with a bruised arm. In the original he seemed to be intact when giving his speech, although it's unknown how much time passed between the missions. I suppose not long either, how long can someone like the councilor wait to hold a funeral for their son, even if he didn't love him according to Frank. The molotov cocktail is a big issue of the remake, I agree. I like to see it as a challenge factor, but it's extremely forced and brought from Mafia 3 with no major concerns. NPCs using them in confined spaces is just poor. I've seen them in the church, the prosecutor's villa, and a few more I can't remember. Hangar 13 should have disabled this mechanic in enclosed spaces. The added shooting parts, I personally don't find them annoying, but I admit there was some fun in being able to escape the steamboat party nearly unharmed (and maybe even drunk if you knew the trick). In the prison they exchanged shooting bums (how they got their guns is a mystery to me) with fighting the police on the way out. Although recently I found out you can escape from the prison unnoticed if you follow certain steps, in the original you could do it if you hid the body of that worker lurking around the sewer entrance. But even if you didn't do that you only had a few cops on your tail that could be evaded easily, in the new game you have the whole police department in your tail as some officer tells you. Moonlighting is indeed poorer in the new game, no discussion there. I miss Yellow Pete, and taking the train to go places. I guess they did this to cater to the more impatient gamers with less attention span. Kinda odd considering GTA V and Payday made heists so popular, they could have capitalized on that by enhancing the planning phase instead of outright cutting it. Tommy and Paulie wearing scarfs was an improvement though, even if that didn't stop Salieri from knowing what they have done (snitch Sam is at stake here I guess).

I'm starting to work with vinyl textures for Remington. Evaluate the first result

ME1LE - Exo One - FH5

PS2 Style HUD colors, again i had to subtract 50% of the color from actual image to get the real color ingame, i'm starting to think that instantreality doesn't convert the RGBA's correctly.. well it doesn't matter, i can easily correct it using Photoshop. (It's just a test to find out how this all works)

It seems to be that the reflections used on the eyes are using pre baked materials to create the effect but comes very short while making characters like CJ have weird glaring on pupils at night. almost as if he was turning into the wolfman

The thermal vision in the DE is so much better than the OG IMO. Also really appreciate the garage additions and how they also added stuff to garages you can't usually access, like the Four Dragons'.
