GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition Now Available for Pre-Order - Coming Nov 11

[joe1606]

I don't really mind if they made Tommy looking 'weak' and this point of the story (or for this scene). The guy's just out of prison (where he's been almost all his life), far from home, alone, survived from beeing shot and have a boss who doesn't respect him.

 

On the positive side, maybe to not having a 'psycho' looking Tommy at the beginning will make his ascension to the rank of kingpin and his revenge more enjoyable?

It would be cool if it turned out in the end that most of the problems in those screenshots were just coincidences, bad angles and laziness to take those pictures in the latest build.

I'm sorry but even then Tommy no longer looks like a badass. How is anyone supposed to fear a plastic doll? For comparison, here's a simple GTA VC mod:



The games were cartoonish, yes, but in their own way. They didn't look like Fortnite or The Sims. I am acutally pleased with most of what was shown except the character models. That's my only real complain so far.

 

That's pretty much my only issue too, and I think it's the only thing really that people care about. The rest of the remasters are simply beautiful on the eyes from what we've seen.

Whoever made some of these screenshots doesn't have any idea how to make good screenshots.

 

To be honest, some of the Grand Theft Auto V's screenshots also sucked.

That one's a bit of a stretch. Different location, different weather, cop car chase.

As far as I can tell, pretty much most people talking about the GTA Trilogy have commented on how Tommy looks. I'm sure Rockstar Games and GSG are well aware of it by now. Anyway, they still have time to tweak such a thing before release.

I really hope you are right, people complained about explosive rounds and oppressors for years and that didn't help at all (but thats a different story, they probably wanted to make the game unplayable)

Hopefully this time they will listen to fans. Vice City was my favorite. I simply cant play it again if they replaced my boy with some... chubby bollywood stunt double who dosn't even look like Tommy

Otherwise we wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place.

Graphics are not a big priority, art style is. You can look up videos about GTA 3 bible and see how much effort they put in into creating a specific vibe they were going for

Oh god yeah, there was a lot of debate about that. I was also looking back at when people gave a GTA V screenshot so much sh*t because the bushes by Michael's house, in people's words, "looked like menhirs"   Among many other things...

Wow look at that rendering distance... LOD4 from 100 meters

Spot on. When people complain it's not because they expected up to date graphics. It's because the art direction went wrong. I wouldn't mind polygons for characters as long as they capture the vibe of the games. The current characters unfortunately fail to do that.

I can't explain the obvious differences otherwise. Could they screw up Tommy's appearance in the cutscenes, while having the "gameplay" version of him look just fine? 

 

My take on that is because Tommy was remodelled after the in-game model, not after the cutscenes one. Vice City is the only game from those 3 where the protagonist has a different character model in-game and in cutscenes. That would be the reason why it looks so off.

I can't remember if that's how it looked at launch or if it was better, but man, I remember thinking the game had an incredible draw distance and shadow distance back in the day on PS3. That screenshot looks so dated lol

Did the ingame model look so different though?

actually CJ does too.
just they gave his ingame head the same amount of polygons as his cutscene head iirc.
and in III claude had in some cutscenes not even his cutscene head.

This Sims sh*t is likely going to age better than your average photo realistic next gen experience by your cocky, selfish AAA western studio and it's gonna take 10 years for people to accept it.

 

Cell shading ages well. Play-doh doesn't.

Did anyone realized that the music Rockstar used for the trailer is a remix made by a fan?

Exactly. If they released a mod like this when GTA3/VC/SA were still new games people would still complain about those characters.

It would be like adding 3d cell-shaded characters to a 2d animation movie. It just dosn't fit. 

edit: It looks just as weird as adding Fortnite characters to GTA V. Sure, you can do it, but they don't really mach the old art style. Same with 3d universe

Not a fan, it's a known producer lol, Hudson Mohawke, who did the official 10th anniversary remix AND the OST for Watch Dogs 2.

Well, not just some fan, his music was used in GTA V before.

And R* worked with him before too.  Even before GTA 3's 10th anniversary remix I believe he remixed some more R* stuff officially.

We will be having some misinformation in these 20 days... intentional or not.

[Algonquin Assassin]

I’ve rewatched the trailer probably another 5 or 6 times and the more I watch the more I notice little things I didn’t notice before. Similar thing with the screenshots.

 

For instance in Avery’s limo Tommy’s shirt is insanely detailed to the point you can see that looks like it’s made out of actual material instead of a blurry and pixelated messy that’s been painted on. I’d say it looks on par with RDR2 to be honest or very close.

 

I don’t expect another trailer, but I think some more screenshots with different characters, locales etc we haven’t seen yet would be nice.

Because the song is already known and owned (and used) by R*, as it's not "a fan", it's a pretty big artist . But I do agree they could've put it in the description at least.

That's actually impressive. Water deposits itself on grass fields, creating puddles between the grass itself. That's why it's reflective.

I mean, it is in Florida, so that might as well be one giant puddle.
