I won't buy the definitive edition unless it has fluorescent yellow license plates.

I had Vice City for 6 years on there

They are still in your library and you can still download them

didn't lego island also suck for the standards of its day? the trilogy was okay for the time but these days they are what i'd consider quite literally unplayable. theoretically you can suffer through the whole thing but it won't be enjoyable

 

Maybe I am just built different, but I can enjoy an old game just as much as a new game. A good game is a good game.

Not saying it is the problem, but from what I played of it, it's just crashes galore.

It's very playable with mods, but not knowing that reverse isn't working because you are running @ 400 fps, and having to stop game to google it is annoying.

[zanesix]

I would recommend just installing the essentials, all of which are just drag and drop: SilentPatch and widescreen fix. If you care, you can make the game look how it should with things like SkyGFX or the various leftover fixes threads. If you still have a problem with that then idk what to tell you, you're obviously cursed.

The problem is performance. Anything above 60fps just starts ruining the experience.  

GTA runs fine at almost 200fps, but vice city is literally hell.  

If I limit performance it stays on 30, and it I turn on Vsync it's 60 but the input lag kills it.  

I'll just wait for the definitive edition

As someone who enjoys a modded GTA, I take this side.

 

GTA 3 for example; while I love the atmosphere of that game, some things have aged like a bowl of oatmeal left out in the sunlight. Pedestrian models are a great example; they have such robotic movements and look really strange and barely resemble humans, with crap textures.

 

That's just one thing. And let's be real; R* Dundee have far more resources than your average modders to address this issue. So I'm not too bummed about the delisting of the OG games.

[LC-DDM]

Fifteen bloody years and still no Liberty / Vice Stories on PC.

Saddening, I tell you.

[Frivolous_Raven]

Also, R* had to rewrite a bunch of code let me tell you, because the amount of sh*t tied to frame rate is infuriating.

The games were meant to be played with 30fps in mind (25 for SA i think), going over that will cause some of the physics to break, the higher the FPS is the worse it gets.

[Frivolous_Raven]

Also, adding to my rant, I say GTA SA is still perfectly playable (y)

[Demysted]

Wow, pretty intense on GTAForums tonight. Went away for an hour and there were five new pages! Hopefully we get some more juicy info on Thursday or Friday to stop all the fighting.

Correct. A lot of the playability issues come down to GTA SA being calibrated towards 2004-2006 hardware which is long surpassed by your average Android smartphone. It's no wonder we need so many unofficial fixes.

No, never! I live for the internet fighting, it's all I have left

That might end up being the case. Hopefully not.

So your problem with it is the locked framerate. Not exactly what I would call unplayable, but it's a valid criticism. Hopefully this is at least one thing DE can fix.

Edited October 13, 2021 by zanesix

[El Dorado]

re project fixed some stuff about the locked framerate

and they were way on track to fully ditching the 30 fps cap

 

but then, you know

 

so a 60 fps+ for the de is the minimum obligation

Honest Game Trailers GTA The Trilogy The Definitive Edition Part 2

“In a world, where asking for a single in game screenshot is a whole f*cking lot to ask of a game developer. Privileged white losers with first world problems + no life, such as Krugaming, are losing there minds as they obsess over the suspense of what the f*ck rockstar is doing.
 

The GTAForums erupt in a epic battle, tune in for the next 9 days, as krugaming, and the rest of the assholes on the GTAForums battle it out to find out who even came close to predicting whatever the f*ck we are getting from rockstar”

Things have cooled at least.

 

I'll say this - at the end of the day, it's understandable for both sides to have their opinion.

 

For pessimists, the E&E spectacle, alongside with the takedown of beloved mods, has only fueled the cynicism people have towards R*. That, combined with the lack of non GTAO content since 2013, has already pissed the diehards long enough (and that's what this forum mostly is, diehards).

 

For optimists, it's the fulfillment of a long-awaited wish; a redux of great yet outdated by today's standards games that defined the 2000s. Modern graphics, some readjustments, possible new content and lore, etc. It was a pipe dream for a long time that has finally come true. It's something new from R* that isn't related to GTAO. People like that.

 

Anyway... we know very little. Ultimately, we only have our imagination :).

[Violet]

idk about y'all but i'm unironically most excited to witness this intro in the definitive edition - it'll be a real blast from the past
