I've left these past few days. Did things cool down back here? It was a sh*tstorm last time lmao

 

 

This was honestly to be expected as these games are nostalgic and seen with rose-tinted glasses for a lot of people (including me, those games looked so much better back then than they do now), so it was a big shock for a lot of people to see those changes. The character models are still a point of debate, and I agree some could be improved and look kinda odd, but I think the majority opinion, and despite some others being vocal, now that things have calmed down a little after the initial impact, is that these look good, except for what I mentioned before.

 

Welcome back.

Spider-Vice already posted the video on that comparison, I don't think there's the need of posting individual screenshots

If that helps the discussion be a bit more constructive so be it

Some screenshots are probably coming from different development phases of the remaster. Every beta hunt takes place on early screenshots, why it shouldn't be the case also for this remaster?

I'm pretty sure there is a difference with details because cinamatic and gameplay models of characters are different. You can't excuse every inconsistency and bad design choices by saying "it's probably from two different versions".

I hope Rockstar adds these beta clothes, they can say that they added new clothes even though they are already in the files but not usable.

 

Would be good to make them purchasable for CJ and maybe random peds.

 

There are several small things they can do to add variety like cars being spawned in more colours, maybe add beta cars. Hell, in rich areas, random people could have modified cars from the garage with spoilers and stuff.

They seem to have added variety to a lot of the existing NPC's, different colour and textured clothes, etc, so let's see if they did the same for the player.

CJ was even aware of COVID protocols.

My biggest pain has always been that I couldn't make CJ look like Orange 12. Adding back these clothes wouldn't be a bad idea but everyday I think more and more that they just dealt with the graphics and not much else.

I think WDS isn't even aware that these things exist. Sure, they're still in the game files but look how you have to hunt inside the GTA3.IMG and find leftovers from CJ that is now used for something else. 
We found them because we were curious and found many things. They just went through the files that the game needs and updated them.

Should we be worry that R* didn't say a word regarding to the soundtrack? Even the trailer music was an original recycled one.

I guess it will be the same like we have in the mobile release and Steam. It would make sense to pay 60€ if R* actually renewed the licenses but i really doubt that. GTA VC and GTA SA lost so many great songs that we liked.

i left before the sh*tstorm took place not because i was expecting it to happen just had things to take care of but did i miss any other news on the trilogy other then the screenshots release date and trailer?

Maybe they spent all the money for Dr Dre cameo on GTA: Online

i figured someone might have datamine some more info or something.

as many spoke about before me, i too am worried about the soundtracks of the games. i mean, if i pick it up, I'll get it for PC no doubt and someone will mod the music back in if it needs it.
but console players? ehh i feel for them if it's not.

They mixed up some models in the mobile port before, so they probably were pretty much aware they existed. Only had no clue what for

Given that they've used the jump onto the overhead rails for the 10th anniversary trailer, I just think it's a cool shot, and a coincidence. They reused the same shot for the DE trailer, too. tbf, screenshots of cars doing jumps are pretty common.

Honestly I think that video by GTA Series highlights even more how good these look IMO lol. Other than some character models like Tommy's and in some scenes CJ's face looks a bit odd, everything else is a huge step up. The character model in that scene with Sweet doing a driveby is pretty good IMO. The texture on the cap, etc.

 

Gotta say I'm on the same boat. I liked everything I saw, except some character models, mainly the 3 protagonists. And this is coming from someone who never played GTA 3 or Vice City more than 15 minutes. San Andreas on the other hand... Gee, I think this is easily the game I put more hours into in my whole life. By far. SA was my first ever PS2 game, I've played SA-MP for years along with my friends, created maps for those CoD-like servers... Man, I miss those times... To think I don't even talk to my old friends anymore.

 

That been said, I'm excited to try GTA3 and VC for real this time, but I'm REALLY anxious about SA

 

I'll reserve most of my judgement AFTER we get some raw gameplay footage or after the games' out. Games are luxury over here and I don't wanna spend my money on a glitchy game.

Here's hoping they've kept the original tattoos. Just now high def.

Not yet, they'll probably release more info within the next 2 weeks, but I would expect some tracks to be missing like the 10th anniversary version tho.

[Len Lfc]

And then after watching this, it highlights just how much better the games look, overall. It's staggering.

 

The tone/vibe from GTA III will be sorely missed, and Tommy looks... questionable at times. But overall I'm rather happy.

But no, it's not perfect.

Next time when making comparisons, try using the official screenshots found on the new Trilogy site:

As you can see, Tommy does not look as bad as you make it out to be in the first image, which is edited to make him look fatter in both stomach and sides. His hair is also altered to make it look more like a doll. This post got 43 likes, 43 people who got baited and possibly have their views on the game altered because of someone editing an image to make it look worse than the official screenshots. I really hope you didn't edit this.

Woopsie, totally my bad, sorry. I didn't edit the first image, it's just one I grabbed from discord and quickly got to work for funsies, I should've fact checked it. Thanks for pointing it out though, I remade it/fixed it now for any future views.

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.

Just needs a bit more work on the characters, definitely. In terms of the maps, I have literally have no words. They freaking nailed the upgrades

May forgive them for not getting the license for every song if they care to replace those with NEW ones. Can't have Billie Jean? Well, add one from Earth, Wind and Fire. I don't know how it was done in other re-releases, but just removing the songs and not adding anything would be lame af.

This might be updated in the coming weeks to reflect what's included, somethings have already been removed or greyed out.

Some new gameplay content would be great too, like stuff that was scrapped during the original development but now would make sense to include (don't know much about scrapped features though). When it comes to customization that's always nice (I hope they give Claude a few different clothes, that would be cool for 3) but I never really enjoyed that aspect in GTA compared to how Saints Row does it where customization really matters and you do have a ton of options. GTA is not that game.

 

Gameplay wise on the other hand? I have ideas: add bikes and helis to GTA 3 along with a bunch of races (something 3 is lacking in), add some actual missions to play for the strip club in VC, add the cars from LCS and VCS to 3 and VC etc. Small things that just round up the experience and add a bit of new stuff.

It hurts to see that pretty much almost the entire Vladivostok FM is greyed out on the playlist ;-;

[ZaxxerDog]

As for things that they should keep the same: I've seen some talk regarding how they should weaken the mafia in the Saint Mark's district after you take out Salvatore in 3... and I don't know what's wrong with you people? Saint Mark's is infamous exactly because they gave shotguns to the mafia NPCs, you killed their boss and they are out for blood, sure, it can be a pain in the ass when you get blown up by shotguns but it's avoidable and it's part of the charm.

The worst part about it is just how it's split the community... again. Okay, much less so this time. And I get why some aren't happy. But after a f*cking sh*t couple of years, I just wish we could have nothing but good things going on. And no, that's not directed at those mad. They have a point. 

 

Oh and also the fingernails lol. They look weird...
