Very interested to see what settings we will get for PC versions, most certain a higher draw distance slider, perhaps?

You do remember the cars in GTA Vice City mobile controlling like tanks right? Or the weird car handling in GTA SA Mobile? 

 

I wonder how sh*tty the driving in the remaster is going to be?

 

 

I don't understand this ONE?

I'm also wondering what the Ultra settings will look like, or whatever equivalent tbh. The footage we saw I'm assuming is console, perhaps except the screenshots?

Umberto looks a lot like his artwork. IMO the models should be more consistent.

Consistent with what? Their artworks? If so I strongly disagree, imagine GTA III with characters based on their artworks, you wouldn't recognize half the cast.

If you are talking about models being consistent with each other, then yes, definitely. The best example for it so far is the AK compared with other weapons shown.

 

As for Umberto, he looks great in my opinion, the textures look like plastic and rubbery like every other model but it doesn't bug me as much, at least from this footage. He even has wrinkles, face details etc. which models like Ken lacks and makes them look terrible.

and no, permanent foggy weather and a #FFA500 colored sky don't count as atmosphere.

When you say sh*t like this it sounds like your entire experience of the original versions of the trilogy comes from "Ah sh*t, here we go again..." memes.

GTA 3 is my favorite game by far, but the long distance lighting really wasn't a strength it had. A lot of the buildings in that background don't have any illumination at all, and those lights on the left look especially outdated. Many of the lights look more like bloom sprites if anything.

 

I understand the game is supposed to be dark, but even back then, I thought it was kind of lame that the skyscrapers look like they suffered from a blackout.

It's a good thing skyscrapers are now lit up like a christmas tree, shame it's almost entirely a different game in a visual sense.

Say what you want about the characters (I dislike them too), but overall can we admit that this looks as good as a remaster possibly could? It's sad to see some of you lose hype just because some questionable character designs. Everything else looks flat out amazing. Can't freaking wait!

Well I get where you're coming from. I've stated earlier as well, my only real gripe so far with this remaster is the shoddy character models. For what it's worth I appreciate the upgrades that went into the maps (although some areas like Ocean Drive I don't like what they've done) but the character models are a big part of the game, you see them constantly front and back and upclose in cutscenes. Plus, the maps look pretty realistic for the most part but the goofy character design doesn't fit in the world at all for me, it just seems like there was a clash of ideas during some point in development and a compromise had to be made so we ended up with this weird mismash. I don't know.

What did they do to Ocean Drive that you dislike?

It's mainly the night time effects for me. Maybe I'm spoiled by watching too much Miami Vice but I feel it's too bright at times. I like the neon lighting and glows which is cool but from the pictures I saw I wish it'd be a little darker to really bring out that night time, 80s outrun type effect. Just a personal thing really.

 

I wish this:

i logged well over 100 hours (on the conservative side, likely more than that) on the ps2 versions of all of them (gta 3 was probably a little less but definitely for vice city and san andreas), and the only bit of visual 'atmosphere' that i can see missing (ignoring the character material / texture situation) is things like the low render distance shrouding everything in fog and the overly saturated sky colors. bad rendering isn't atmosphere, and otherwise these games feel very closely related to the spirit of the originals.

Is that a real life photo

 

If you going to have those kinds of expecatations, keep 'em for GTA VI or whatever Rockstar's next new project is. The Trilogy doesn't need that and realistically it wouldn't be The Trilogy if it was.

 

 

[Alan Wake]

Do you think gen 6 titles are harder to remaster?

Yeah they're real life pictures. But if this several year old mod can make a nice moody night time atmosphere like this:

 

 

Then so can this remaster. No need to put me down by saying stuff like, "Keep those expectations for GTA 6!" which will probably come out when I'm 60, by the way. I much prefer this look of VC than to the remaster but if course no one's gonna want to hear that and get their panties in a bunch.

The real life photo you posted does not look like that screenshot you just posted though? They are on two opposite paths of style. We haven't seen VC (Definitive) in peak night time yet, just early evening sunset or overcast by storm.

I'm sorry but that Barnyard part killed me

[Americana]

I've just realized that in the trailer grass in some parts of Liberty City is very detailed, yet grass in Vice City and Los Santos seems to be rather flat.

 

I wish it was as detailed everywhere.

I think 3 had more development time that the other two and their polishing up VC and SA up until gold

[Americana]

I hope so, because right now Ocean Drive in Vice City looks ridiculous with all that flat grass.

[BS_BlackScout]

We really need more screenshots and footage to see what's up with those inconsistencies. I hope that by next week we'll get those.
But when? Friday again?

Back to the old game.

There's only 2 Fridays left before it is released. There's a good chance

It's been confirmed by the GSG community manager that they've been working on the remasters for over 2 years.

the theory in my head is that the trailer was made on the mobile version / using mobile settings - notice the buildings in the distance on this scene from gta 3

  Reveal hidden contents

the LOD on them is super low, akin to what i'd expect from mobile. that blurriness wouldn't be happening on a desktop platform. it's wishful thinking, but, given that R* trailers always tend to look worse than the final product in some way, perhaps this is why the materials are so f*cked up on the characters? the meshes themselves are serviceable, but the materials are dull and lifeless leading to the Noooooodle Arm effect

Oh, so now they've used footage from the mobile version to advertise for the console and PC launch.
You still find it impressive enough to be mistaken for a console/PC version, right ?
...or are you saying you are more than happy with what you'd consider mobile graphics on a console/PC ?

Don't bother answering... these are not real questions.

Now back to real business:

Going by your previous replies where you've expressed multiple times that you like how the games look one can conclude that you are quite happy with the "mobile game looks" and that you are one happy bunny.
I want your phone number.
Now in order for you to understand why I want your phone number I'll have to share a deep and intimate secret... I find happy bunnies extremely cute.

at a first glance, yes it is impressive enough. the reason it sticks out as potentially mobile / lower settings to me is because of LOD - the foreground likely won't change that much from platform to platform. it isn't 2006 anymore, mobile games don't have to look terrible.

...or are you saying you are more than happy with what you'd consider mobile graphics on a console/PC ?

in a word: also yes! the PC version will almost definitely feature extra things like properly rendered blades of grass, nicer reflections, and better LOD / draw distance (as noted above, this was the biggest giveaway for me that maybe they're using some differing settings, especially when contrasted with other screenshots).

for some reason this seems like bad-faith arguing to get me to contradict myself, so i won't bite.
