Same. And as someone who lives in LA, it's never that f*cking yellow unless there are wildfires lol. Always disliked that in the original PS2 version

 

As someone who lives in Australia, I also agree. San Andreas had me misunderstood and when I finally got to travel around California irl for the first time, I was surprised at how much more colourful and vibrant it was. GTA V seemed to capture it better and comparing Los Santos in V to SA makes it clear they probably realised they overused the 'smog' or whatever its meant to even be. 

 

Hopefully when they say improved environments it includes this - toning things down and keeping it more life like and not so oversaturated 

 

I also came to realise how the countryside surrounding Los Santos is also too wooded. Seems to be more to life in V. But the SA countryside is a character in itself.

But still, an i7 minimum and i5 recommended? Still kind of weird.

 

The i7 2700k was released in 2011, the i5 6600k was released in 2015 and is more powerful than the i7 2700k.

Any chance R* could do an immediate release of the Trilogy? Or with very short notice... Who needs pre orders this thing will blow up no matter what  

 

Perhaps a trailer on Friday, it ends with "Available now" or a trailer on Wednesday with an "Available 22/10, Pre Install today"

Hey guys now that we finally getting definitive edition (maybe in coming weeks), what do you guys think is a nice little detail that's present in OG San Andreas! I love how when we're outside main city like in highway and stuff and if we hit a car with our own the driver starts following us and starts saying crap to us. That when I first saw I was amazed how much work was done by the developers. I hope these little details stays in definitive edition as well!

Maaan, I would cry if that actually happens. It would be a nice surprise to release it on the 20th anniversary.

Unlikely. So far they're treating this as if it's a whole new game, and that means the same boring "teaser - wait - trailer - wait - pre-order - wait - delay - wait" pattern that usually occurs with R* games. The only difference here is that instead of it being spread out over a couple years, it's over a couple months.

Yeah, I know there's different tiers but the performance ceiling on the i7 is much higher than the i5's so idk, just seems weird to do a low tier i7 and high tier i5 than say high tier i5 higher tier i7. Guess it's my OCD speaking.

This is what I expect, and so anything like it releasing even in early November would happily surprise me.

I think the filter in GTA SA is slightly misunderstood. It's meant to give that grainy early 1990s feel of video tech in that era.

 

The orange vibe in LS, coupled with the blue green foggy vibe of SF, is meant to give a very gloomy and somber feel of those cities due to crack and gangs. It's no coincidence that Las Venturas is the "happiest" in terms of filters.

 

Watch Dogs 2, which took place in SF, was a lot more colorful, vibrant, and sunny. Similar setting depicted much differently, though different timeframe.

 

I hope that unique orange vibe is recaptured more realistically. Especially with Unreal Engine allowing for much more realistic skyboxes.

I find this odd because the last thing I think of when I think of early GTA games is "life like". Creating an over the top satire based  on various time periods and crime movies with cartoonish elements is what I think about, and that goes along with the art style of the environment.

OK, controversial question time.

 

What if Rockstar do not announce any physical merchandise for the anniversary but instead launch a range of NFTs?

given Head Radio is entirely done for the game itself, it's pretty impressive. I think Rise is probably, very surprisingly, my favorite station in the game... younger me would not have agreed with me at all.

Based. Doesn't affect me whatsoever but I would have to get out my extra large popcorn maker to watch all of the seethe.

Plot twist.

 

Take 2 has been milking GTA Online to make money for the remasters.

Good point, although, it was a little too oversaturated for my liking. But I agree that it shouldn't be life like exactly. I guess they original trilogy was supposed to be a caricature of american culture versus a recreation. Hopefully they strike a good balance in the middle somehow and keep the cartoonish palette but just a tad less blurry/saturated

I'll be that guy then.. The minimap doesn't line up with where you are in the world.

The minimap, the weird cars ahead, the trees that don't belong in these graphics, whatever that NPC is doing there, the strange motion blur, this is rivaling that Vice City screenshot from some pages ago in the degree of weirdness.

I remember folks talking about ghosts being seen here, only visible with the thermal goggles. 

 

So my dumb 13 yr old self was wandering around in thermal vision for like a week not seeing a damn thing lol.

It's okay, friend of mine convinced me that he kept flying out of the map for about 20 minutes and he eventually arrived to another map with different cars and whatnot.

I believed him for a little while back then.

Similar thing happened to me man. Two friends of me in 2006 said that "You can't go to other cities in San Andreas, right?" I asked: "Yeah I fly and fly but there is nothing." 

He replied "Well, there is something but only unlocked with a cheat code. You can go to Vice City, Liberty City and some other secret cities... Wherever you wanna go!" I begged him for weeks to tell me that cheat code. I did bought him a soda in order to tell... Well he said: "It's ANTARCTICASHOP"......"If you type that three times, it will teleport you to some area and you can select the place you wanna go." Where the hell he came up with that name?? Anyway, I ran to my computer, opened SA and typed that code three times and of course... nothing happened. I felt like an idiot lmao. 

Btw, I checked the internet before and couldn't find it but he said it's actually a secret cheat code, not official
