Some screenshots look awful, but... These want me to play these games so much.

Made a few edits to our old boy Tommy. Honestly, he's not too far off - this didn't take much time to transform. I'd like to see modding cracked not long after release and tweak stuff like this for real.

 

So modders are facing lawsuits for this?...

 

Shameful as hell. Modding community always existed to have fun and enhance videogames, and to fix stupid issues like these. 10 bucks says they'll make the UE hard to access for this Trilogy because of problems like this.

If people hated it why did they beg modders for years to try and restore the effects and style to the pc version?

 

There seems to be some revisionist history going on at the moment and it's a little sad how everyone, including "fans", are now calling the original games trash with terrible graphics, etc, and that Rockstar have finally blessed them with a playable version of these games.

It's because of two things:

 

- Copium posts: a lot of people hyped up the remasters with expectations that were never realistic, they of course got disappointed but can't accept or admit that yet. Hype is bad, don't hype.

- The old games genuinely never looked all that great because they were pioneers in open world games and ran on very weak PS2 hardware.

If rockstar thinks that this will be enough to satisfy us and make us stop begging them for GTA VI they are wrong at most we stop for a good three days and then it’s back to “Where is GTA VI?”
 

Seriously though where is GTA VI?

The more I look at the screenshots and the trailer, the more I see flaws, bad models and textures next to the good ones. It looks more like a beta version than a release version.

The majority of people are just a bit disappointed with the characters models. THe rest is pretty much really good

The character models are not exactly a small part of the game, you have to see this sh*tty plastic fat Tommy all the time when you play the game.

Yeah, that would be a big chunk of it for me. I am totally open to at least the idea of paying full retail for this if the radio stations are all made whole or...perhaps that plus new songs? Nahhh! Hahahaha I think we all know that made whole + new material would be a non-starter, but I can dream, can't I?

 

I also find it odd in a very cool way that you and I are actually very much on the same side in this debate. Makes me almost long for the knock-down-drag-out fights we used to have over the IV vs V debate. JUST KIDDING. Sorry, that last line was a bit of a sh*t-post because someone in this very thread so desperately tried to attack my position on not wanting to pay $60.00 for the new iteration of The Trilogy by contorting all reality to suggest that this is somehow connected to those aforementioned debates. (Oops another sh*t post line)

 

Seriously, though, and on topic, I think it's GREAT that Rockstar is commemorating the 3D Era GTA games. I really do. Regardless of my being underwhelmed by the visuals after seeing the awesome map mods and how voraciously Take2's legal team did everything they could to squash them. By the way, slightly off topic, I would be open to buying this for full price, if they were adding LCS and VCS UE's as well, so that it would now be $12.00 per game instead of $20.00

 

I'm holding out hope for LCS/VCS DLC at some point.

 

I know this is a pipe dream but imagine if they used this as an opportunity to adapt the GTA Advance story to 3D. I'd be down for that sh*t.

Unless they added an FPS camera mode.

Not to mention excusing the sh*tty character models with the "the originals were cartoony too" argument which is just stupid. Some fans here are in denial

I don't think Tommy looks fat as it's just somewhat more emphasized.

 

Original Tommy didn't look particularly fit tbh:

 

He just looks kinda skinny.

Denial? You in denial every argument about 3D vs HD was that the 3D era was silly now that they give you that you guys are mad.

Well, the 3D Universe was never meant to be taken particularly seriously. It was full of dick jokes, boob and vagina looking product placements, ridiculous radio commercials, and pretty wacky characters in of themselves. So, the universe was always meant to be a funhouse mirror version of reality, giving more of a "cartoon" feel.

 

Plus, the 2D games were quite cartoony in of themselves, I don't think Rockstar ever lost that touch.

[Americana]

There is a fat cheat in Vice City.

I've received more clarification and turns out I was wrong about what I initially said about Grove Street Games. They are indeed contributing largely to the development process. But, Rockstar Dundee and other Rockstar studios are also involved. The leading developers are both Rockstar Dundee and Grove Street Games, but other Rockstar studios have significantly assisted with the development too. Rockstar Dundee was an external studio before the acquisition. Back in 2019, Rockstar must have collaborated with these two external studios, Ruffian Games & Grove Street Games, to lead the development, but the former ended up being acquired by Rockstar.

Soo guys, some assets from free asset store. Is this indication of quality? Are the trees in SA taken from free UE assets too?

It's okay and does look good actually.

Yeah, it's perfectly fine. Plus, it's not any different from Rockstar back in the day with the original version.

So much so that there is a mod for vegetation that was actually based on the source textures for trees and it looks great.

Thank Rockstar for doing that and for YOEL for finding them. My renders looked a lot prettier with those

Long time lurker, decided to finally join up. Like everyone else I also have mixed opinions but mostly towards the character models. But I actually think a few of them look good, one which looks really good that I don't think many people have mentioned is Umberto Robina.

 

He looks just liked the original model but high definition and somewhat gritty. I'm hoping the rest of the models will turn out looking similar or they decide to tweak them like Tommy...

I wish they would add some hair and other details to Tommys arms. Also some visible muscles, so it doesn't look like he has chicken drums for under arms.

Should we pray? 

I mean did Rockstar studios actually had more input on the final product? 

Or we could see a SA ios situation where the basically outsourced the entire project, without doing some quality control?

Sam Houser probably gave final approval

I seriously hope that's the case.

Don't wanna hate much on wardrum, everybody makes mistakes and deserves a second chance.

Thing is the SA project probably had a big absurd deadline. Proof? The ps3 that came out AFTER the initial mobile/xbox versions had a lot or the bugs fixed.

 

They treat this like it's a big deal this time around. Charging almost full price. 

Also it's on every single platform... Wouldn't they want for it to be polished?

All these haters fail to comprehend the majesty of the trilogy 

[Zello]

I think the War Drum/Grove Street games thing is that they just have a good relationship with those people for the past 10 years like that Australian studio that did LA Noire VR for them.

[Laqueesha]

I like it. Not blown away, but moderately pleased.

Which is bizarre, because they could have very easily done the same for Tommy and the other protagonists and chose not to, it doesn't make any sense to me honestly. Another user's edit here looked way better than what they came up with:

Honestly, if Tommy looked like this I wouldn't even be mad right now. But they clearly didn't care to put any real effort into proper character models for the main characters.

They could have chosen Lucid Games which stole assets from mods...

life would suck if you went into everything constantly expecting disappointment and sadness. hype is part of the fun, provided you're an adult who can keep your expectations and reactions in check.
