Saint Mark's Bistro

[Otram]

Since the announcement of the trilogy, I have a worm in my head moving around. How developers handled the mission Saint Mark's Bistro for the Liberty City part?

Did they use part of the GTA III remaster assets or they specifically remastered the Portland part available on GTA SA? What do you think?

Hope will use GTA III's assets, only if all trilogy share same assets.

Probably share the assets, even if they are sold separate. Logic being that remastering all these games is a big task, and it would be efficient to make the GTA III version, then add snow on top of the existing map for GTA SA version. Given the likely file-size of 45GB, I can't think of why they wouldn't do this at this time.

 

On release, San Andreas had a large part of Portland's textures on-disc, all just floating with no collision in a void above the main state map. It is theoretically accessible on console (never managed the feat myself), and also possible on PC through varying levels of challenge depending on your skillset with SA modding.

 

There was intended to be a chase through Portland to kill Marco on a PCJ 600 that was cut from the mission, found by the community after release.

 

Also, here's a link to a video that shows the version of Portland that was left in San Andreas.

I do hope that in GTA III, the interior with the back will actually be there. That would be super cool.

After the release of most of the information, we can assume that everything will be like in the original games. So, unfortunately, no interior for GTA III and no accessible Portland in GTA SA. However, let's wait the 11th November for further conclusions.

Stick the jetpack cheat in during the mission and fly about. Who knows? There might be something waiting for us.

They have remastered basically all the textures, you can just imagine how many easter eggs are around the game waiting to be discovered.

The Jetpack doesn't work that high up, its the mega jump cheat you gotta use

do you guys think  the Hyman memorial stadium was a cut  mission from ken Rosenberg  by any chance ? 

makes total sense the racecars are cheats 

that would've been cool to go to vice city in San Andreas 

maybe they'll include every single cut mission from the entire trilogy that would be insane I mean think about it  they did call it the definitive edition ,after all

I don't think any of the cut missions will be introduced in the definitive edition. I mean, cutting a mission is something related to the storyline script of the game and so technical limitations were not the root cause of these changes. Think about movies, how many times directors decides to cut some scenes from their works? Well, it should be the same also in this case.

I remember seeing a leak before the trilogy was announced that GTA 3 will get a special snowy weather condition likely activated through a cheat or something, and since when you go to saint marks in SA, its snowing. So maybe they could include a bigger part of portland or even the entire island with the correct setting and visual style

Back in the day, they were not gonna do that Liberty City as fourth city. Because it's big and PS2 can't handle this much thing. There is pedstats, pedAI and such. Missions aswell, PS2 will die.

 

But We are on 2021 and there is PS5, you HAVE TO make the fourth city (a.k.a Liberty City) cause PS2 is not equal to PS5, PS5 is superior than PS2. If they don't make Liberty City as a playable map or non-solid (the map was non-solid in GTA San Andreas PS2) I will RAGE so hard.

 

That is all I have to say
