If a GTA 3 remake IS coming and that’s a big IF, then surely they I’ll use the HD/GTA IV era Liberty City no? The old Liberty is tiny!

Nevermind the size, think of how many contemporary references there are that kids today would never get without being told. The first one that came to mind a few days ago was Sex Club 7.

 

Mind you, GTA 3's storyline and missions in GTA 4's map, that's a bloody brilliant idea, except for one tiny drawback. No dam for the final mission.

This is true.

could improvise though and set it in the old casino in Alderney or something.

Guys lower your expectations. Be realistic.

 

Worst case scenario is a 4k 60 fps version of the existing titles. Best case scenario (i would love for this to happen but i doubt it) would be a full blown remake like spyro, crash and saints row 3.

 

But online modes? Gta iv liberty city in iii? 

 

Come on that ain't gonna happen... Remaking the game from scratch is one thing but updating the city is simply non possible at this point.

I think i can get behind your strategy. Do not expect anything - get pleasantly surprised by the opposite or remain as right. A win-win situation.

At the beginning it would be just like you have described it, the question is how will it evolve. R* is not going to kill Online and by branching it out as a standalone game they are showing us that the thing will stay and will be updated after VI is released. The question is, what will happen after the release, what kind of updates are we talking about? Will it be a new version of RAGE? If yes, that will open a lot of possibilities and it's up to R* not to mess it up. Less restrictions, more character customization and the thing may live just enough to be updated with VI's map.

 

Oh, and visual-wise current PC version is good enough. It's not going to be the jump we have seen by upgrading from X360/PS3 to XONE/PS4, it will be just a polish. Maybe a better rendering distance too.

Thing is why make so many online modes when you can have one (or two when Vi releases, if it has its own online mode) and pour all your resources there?

 

Making online modes for the rereleases require a new economy, new dlc content like vehicles, missions, businesses etc.

 

That could burn out the player base. Why bother doing something like that? 

 

They can release those offline experiences while working on Vi, Vis online mode, gta online v, and rdr online.

You are basically explaining that yourself. Alternative clients are popular, because GTAO model is revolving either around grinding or griefing those who grind. And Online is a big restriction in itself: blacklisted outfits, blacklisted cars, locked interiors, unavailable gestures, you name it. It was possible to share cash back in 2013-14, not anymore. Cooldownds, limits on selling legit cars, increasingly nasty moves to restrict players in every possible way (they were not lazy to actually remove AC from the wall where you could access Chef's meth lab in Sandy shores). I was constantly stressed from playing Online and as soon I've discovered that, I understood that I can't play the thing relaxed. Stopped playing it altogether since there was no other solution for me.

I believe the majority of the restrictions we have in online is due the fact that ps3 and xbox 360 had those software limitations. Like, less gangs, no bicycle helmets (before i thought it was because clipping problems with the hair styles, but...that's not an issue i guess, all hats work just fine), no npc airplanes. no animals...about blacklisted outfits i guess it was just a choice, bcz before you couldn't had garbage collectors and now you can (after doing the casino heist with that outfit) and you have the FIB outfits, but without that identification plate, making them just normal fancy suit outfits...can't understand that, neither the NOOSe outfits, intentionally not put to purchase.
But the problem is only allowing us to do some funny stuff with that we have, for example, lowriders dlc, brought the cars and the missions, but where's the real fun department coming in? Sure you can make a car meet and recreate the san andreas contest, but...how people will know who won? We needed mechanics for that, like, put that mini-game like in san andreas...arcades...more pve or pvp games, billiards, etc. There's a lot room to improve and maybe they are with a little handicap to do that without the E&E version. So, only time will tell.

part of the lore of the game is their version of real life brands.

Maybe things change bcz, money talks in this industry. Idk if from the start, R* didn't brand their cars with real life brands due to not having money to buy those licenses and/or if it was their intention since the beginning to merge cars of different brands to create their owns. So probably they are doing this from a marketing stratefy point, like, some partnerships with real brands to make some kind of bussinesses.

It's actually good that they are not coming, because I will go nuts to see old GTA remastered before VI drops.

Well, I think there are other reasons why manufacturers won't actually partner with R*. Clips with your car hauling pedestrians on the sidewalk while 11 y.o screams the N-word have something to do with that, I suppose. Plus, the idea of GTA universe is to create a a parody of the world, not to simulate it. If you ask me, there is absolutely no need and no place for real brands in the game. Neither for clothing nor for cars and if these brands are coming, that will be beginning of the end.

Restrictions I have described are part of the mentality behind them. These air conditioners are still present in 360 version of online and it's possible to climb on the wall to access that meth lab. And it was possible to share cash on 360, I remember that, I've played the game since day one and I have day 2 character (not really sure many people here have day one, that was a sh*tshow).

I have moderate hope for remastered versions.

Have you played it? IV is notoriously bad optimized to be run on everything, technically speaking it is a very, very bad game. It's a good game from a consumer perspective, but even on the modern hardware it runs like crap.

totally disagree  gta 4 holds up play it on series x looks beautiful not rdr 2 quality but its a 13 year old game . 

driving is suspect i accept but for me it is the best game in the series . 

best storyline best protag best map liberty city has the most detail and personality of any of  the maps . 

best written rockstar game after rdr 2 . 

 

fav gta by a country mile  i accept its to dark for some but the episodes fix that at tbogt does

Well, but it's kind comprehensible...sharing money would be a problem for shark card sells, not to mention money glitchs.

if a remaster is this quality then you all can get excited

You know what i'm thinking? The last sentence of that newswire, about Didier Sachs, that could be a messed up from R*, that forgot that we don't have Didier Sachs in the game as a clothing shop we can enter, or it was a teaser for the next dlc. Didier Sachs exist in some locations of the map and in the mall there's logos of it. So, maybe they will open the mall and what could this mean? Maybe they will focus the social aspect of the game in the next dlc. So it can be a minor spring dlc. For instances, they can open restaurants there, like Clucking Bell, Burguer Shot (they teased gta food chains on twitter) + a small nightclub + arcade store that can have a bigger space to put there other games like billiards, pinball, air hockey + a go kart track and this is the way that they would implement the kart races.

Right now, what I'm interested in is;

- Is the Sapphire Panther being released this Thursday?

- Will we see anykind of Gold Rush style event for Cayo Perico, now we know how well a 1.5x Primaries & Safe week pays?

- Will we get a Spring Update AND a Summer Update, or just both put together, or JUST a Summer Update?

- When do we get the info on Expanded & Enhanced that'll win the fans over?

 

Whatever's going on with anything related to the 3D Trilogy, I'm just leaving that to play itself out, because the spectrum of what that COULD be is too vast to get hyped for and ranges from a "Why Even Bother besides a marketing push for some quick cash?" to a "f*ck Yes, Day One Purchase".

I am a believer of the remakes/remasters, however nothing points towards anything this week or even this month. So don't get your hopes up yet.

 

Also I do think there is a slight possibility they will be remakes in order to add to the life of GTA Online. Not at the same time either. More or less a new 'chapter' every year or two years, much like we see in Fortnite, CoD Warzone, Overwatch, Dead by Daylight, Pubg, etc. 

 

So more or less this:

Year 1 (21/22): San Andreas remake, in- or excluding SP story. Online is significantly increased with new heists, races and missions. 

 

Year 2 (22/23): Liberty City (III and IV)

 

Year 3 (23/24): Vice City, perhaps along release GTA VI if it is indeed set in Vice City. 

 

This way they'll have a constant stream of content. Dripfeed for online would be weaponry and cars from the originals. I could also see them make crossovers with RDR and Mafia to add more weapons, areas, cars, manufacturers and content, although I could understand this never happening.

 

Seems to good to be true, but if it is their new vision for online it could easily be done.

Try throwing the 32 bit version of https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v1.7.3 in the Game Folder i know its for Linux\Wine but it works wonders for the game, just don't plan on using injectors

Ah I deleted it, but thanks, I might give it a try again at some point*

The main thing I hope they'll fix in the E&E is the goddamn controls in on foot combat, both shooting as melee. Give us either the controls of Mafia 3 or otherwise RDR2 (but quicker reloading/shooting). Because 8 years after release, the current controls are far from up to date.

I hope they make it an option, I don't think the controls of this game needs fixing, but an option for whoever thinks so is good, and please, RDR2's controls are one of its flaws, it's the one thing I dislike about it.
