What's wrong with the original controls?

Yesterday I tried steam version of gta sa, mouse does not always work, do not press buttons in menu with mouse button, camera does not rotate in game, it helps to minimize and unfold game. Also can completely disappear sound, for example, if turn on and off your headphones

I've been gone for a little while - I'm seeing people mention Grove Street Games is confirmed to be the only developer behind the remaster, is this true? Did anything new come out since the trailer on the 22nd?

Unfortunately, CJ doesn't turn the wheel.

Also if you enhance really deep into another screenshot you can still see the edge of the wheel texture floating in between the wheel and his hand, just like the original. There's clearly still some of the original game buried deep within the new paint

No, it's impractical. Other Rockstar studios helped as well.

Tbh nobody knows for sure at this point. Rockstar themselves have definitely communicated that it's GSG's project - they use the phrase 'adapted by GSG'. So based on what we've been told, it is a fully outsourced project.

 

But many people here speculate that in-house Rockstar studios have been actively involved in development. If Rockstar's own studios are involved, they are doing their best to downplay their involvement. There's no evidence or reason to believe at this point that Rockstar have had any studios working on the game, so this theory is just speculation at this point.

 

We will only know for sure when we see the credits. I personally believe it is 100% developed by GSG. 

 

The following 2 statements are all that Rockstar have said themselves in regards to the development studio:

 

1. From the newswire article published on 22nd Oct: https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/4kaa7414o5k979/grand-theft-auto-the-trilogy-the-definitive-edition-coming-november-11

 

'Originally developed by Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition has been adapted to modern platforms by Grove Street Games using Unreal Engine to make these classics more vibrant and more immersive than ever'

 

2. From the product page on Rockstar's official website - 'Game Details > Developer - https://store.rockstargames.com/en/game/buy-grand-theft-auto-the-trilogy-the-definitive-edition?_gl=1*ux8ezi*_ga*MTg1MTU5ODkwNi4xNjEwMjgyMDQ4*_ga_PJQ2JYZDQC*MTYzNTcwNzg5NC4yNjkuMS4xNjM1NzA4MDMyLjA.#game-details

 

'Developer: Rockstar Games, adapted by Grove Street Games'

Works for me. 

[GhettoJesus]

I think it's fair to speculate that at least the lion's share was done by GSG.

They probably just ported the animations from the original games. I wonder how they managed to do it properly...
But it's clear that there'll be no first person view, it'd be too ugly and the views wouldn't align with guns and such

[BS_BlackScout]

As far as I can tell (I could be wrong) the CJ hand turn animation only gets triggered when you are actively pressing WASD or moving the stick.

If this was scripted/on rails the code very likely didn't respond to that fake movement.

There's nothing preventing them from using original game logic with a different graphics engine. Bully: SE is a great example of that.

What is it about this screen that leaves people terrified?

Mostly the horrendous default keybinds. Right shift for sprint? Did a spider program this?

Have you played a game made before 2005? It's not THAT hard to learn. 

[lazloisdavrock]

Nah it’s bad bruh

In RDR2 however, your character is wearing holsters around his waist and it fits the time that no one reacts to you casually holding a rifle in your hands. I don't see how they could implement that into GTA VI without magic pockets or massive gameplay changes (only being able to carry concealed handguns). 

They shouldn’t. Keep magic pockets.

Still doesn't change the fact that it's terrible and has aged badly. There are a lot of things to defend the classic games for, but it's control is not one of them. Also to this day I still have no idea what the "RET" key is. Actually wait, I do remember, it's return, just a very odd way to abbreviate it.

Play gta 3 Again and tell me nothing is wrong with the controls. aiming is awful, camera movement is non existent and the on foot controls are primitive at best. It’s a nightmare to play.

Lots of people only played on PC and don't realise how badly 3 has aged for console controls. I still enjoy it because I'm so conditioned to how it works, but yeah, 3 and VC haven't aged well mechanically on controllers. It won't take much to fix them up, though - the Definitive Edition modpack on PC gives 3 and VC a fully working camera on the right stick and that change alone makes for a much better experience.

Lower sens

Not a necessity, actually using the camera to your advantage can make the experience trivially easy in some regards

They're easy to learn, come on.

Git gud

[Americana]

What do you mean, old person?

 

We should be able to control the camera freely in a Grand Theft Auto game.

Imagine thinking the old games control well

Off topic but....Happy MF DOOM day! He did do a China town wars track and a Fly lo FM track so hopefully relevant enough

RIP to the Metal Face villain!
