I’ve played in the last 10 years. Maybe 6/7 years ago.

I can see the original screenshots you posted, though I don’t remember it being that bright. 
If you wish, I’d compare it to IV, which was very moody with its orange/autumn tint, thought it was sunny, it had this sad (in my opinion) feeling. 
I’d say III was gave me the same feeling, just with a different tint.
It don’t remember it  being lit directly under a strong light, like V is, for example. 

From what I can see, the III DE looks more joyful than what the original III was. 
Again, that’s part of what you remember and part of how you feel about a given aesthetic/colours.

 

GTA 3 had (like every other GTA), day/night cycle and dynamic weather. when the weather is "sunny", the game is bright just like the screenshots. when the weather is cloudy, foggy, or just nighttime, the game was dark.

he screenshots we've seen seem to be have taken with the "sunny" weather (you can tell from the sky). On the other hand, the night time screenshots look exactly how GTA 3 should look. 

I'm sure that when the weather is foggy or cloudy the game will be much darker - just like the original game.

 

To be fair, the sunny weather does seem to be a bit more colorful than the original sunny weather, but I don't think that's a problem (reminds me of IV) if the dark weathers are still dark.

One week left...we should get details today probably.

[Capt.Bojangles]

i don't expect any news really cause it's all 3 games that have been out in the public for years and this is just a visual/control scheme upgrade.

Is it just me or is it weird to highlight the ability to restart a failed mission immediately? Feels like such a minor feature next to bigger feats like DLSS support.

 

In connection with that: will we still lose our weapons upon dying? If not then Katie becomes kinda useless in SA.

I think they should add that feature from VCS where you can buy back your weapons after you die.

So apparently these are the file sizes on PlayStation without day 1 patches

 

Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition (PS5) – 5.293GB
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition (PS5) – 10.768GB
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition (PS5) – 22.679GB

 

I'm trying to figure out how Vice City could be twice the size of III

 

I like those numbers. Given that Vice Cry mod was only 3 GB and featured an impressive city recreation in GTA 5 engine, it's fair to assume DE should be a sight to behold. I doubt those extra 7 GB are just music and sfx.

Why not change it to just the American flag on Phil's shirt in the same way then? That skull just looks stupid.

I guess the flag stuff means that there will never be a civil war Red Dead game

[MGgames100]

One thing I at least hope R* will do today/tomorrow are separate trailers for each of the games. Mainly because it would be nice to get more than 5 flash scenes per game, per trailer, especially since both the trailer and the screenshots didn't showcase some of the areas, like both Stauton and Shoreside Vale for III, basically no shots for Downtown (I think we all want to see Little Haiti as well) for VC and little to no SF and LV and surrounding areas (I'd like to see BoB personally, or more woods. I just want to see if they just did it properly or they did little to no effort) for SA.

 

Also I would like to hear about the soundtrack (and additions to it, or lack of them), the cars (I would be happy if they would put some of the cars for consistency sake, like i.e Idaho in SA) and any additional gameplay or bonus content, because, at least for me there is no point of buying the games once again if it is the same games that I've replayed thru 20 times each.

 

How about we guess the possible trailer songs if they would release trailers for each of the games? Just to make the wait little more bearable:

III:

 

VC:

 

SA:

You don't get it man, they just giving Phil a new backstory:

Now that you mentioned it, you guys notice that they changed Phil's backstory? He used to be a drunk, gun loving redneck. But now I look at him and I realize, he's just a grown up version of Cid from Toy Story! 


Its so cool that R* decided to expend on the backstory of those side characters. I wonder who else they gonna "expend & enhance"

edit: Omg and apparently his full name was Cid Phillips. It all makes sense now! :o Phil Cassidy / Cid Phillips

edit:
But speaking about the flag, this dude makes an interesting point (5min in). Is it possible it might have something to do with Apple banning every game that features a confederate flag?

Maybe there's another stupid rule for game trailers?

Why don't they give us a gameplay, or something more... one week left and nothing about gameplay...

I'm always confused as to how this mechanic fits with the old ones, such as whether the died/busted/mission attempts counter increases and if I'm still supposed to reload the game to not sh*t on my stats.

[MrBreak16]

Do you guys think they will answer?

He's talking about as early as 2015. How come VC anniversary continued to exist on Apple devices after that?

Good point. Its almost like the rule is so stupid and pointless that literally no one in 6 years actually cared or got offended by that shirt

So the question is, why change it now? I guess its possible that there's a similar rule for new game trailers? The only other alternative is that R* fallen so low that now they are censoring themselves for no reason at all

It looks like there will be some type of individual videos for each game in the Definitive Edition. There appears to be a video placeholder on each pre-load page on Rockstar Launcher

That's just a loading placeholder. Max Payne 3 does the same thing where it shows a black loading box, and then it simply disappears. We will almost definitely be getting some more videos/info before launch, but this launcher behaviour isn't indicative of anything.

Spoiler

Bingo. I’ve said before that the shirt itself isn’t a huge deal, but it sets a worrying precedent that will probably mean there are other changes to the games. It’s not the end of the world but it annoys me that they can’t leave these games alone and understand the context that the flag is shown in. It’s a satirical jab at confederate flag waving rednecks, yet in today’s reactionary society it’s just ‘flag bad’ before you even examine whether it glorifies it or not.

 

The theory that it’s just changed for the trailer makes no sense to me - it would be a lot easier to just not include Phil in the trailer than to go and create a new texture for his shirt lol. 

[Punkd]

maybe R* forgott that they release a new game next week, thats why we dont get any new info at all

[GetMeADJ]

Good morning gamers

Any relevant news these last days?

That scene is epic though.

[wapster]

I have to admit it is a little bit suspicious that the hype train hasn't been ridden to death by R*, you'd think by now they would have given us some real gameplay footage as is tradition. Hopefully we'll get something today as it's only a week to go.

It reminds me a lot of RDR2 PC, there was a lot of silence until a week prior when the preloads started and there wasn't much marketing otherwise, just some screenshots and a trailer too, then R* Launcher finds for the preloads. These may be remastered games with new eye-candy and some new features but I suppose there isn't that much to advertise when you think about it, they are after all still the old games story wise etc. I reckon/hope these last few days before release is when they're gonna talk.

It is, but not so epic that it makes or breaks a trailer - there are plenty of scenes they could have chosen instead.

 

Tbh though, the shift away from controversial humour is probably an inevitable result of the cultural shift that Rockstar has gone through in the last few years. Everyone has heard about the crunch culture at Rockstar, but they also came under a lot of fire for harbouring a 'frat boy' type culture among the higher ups in the company, and many shocking stories emerged about how the company was operating at the higher levels. They have appointed new people to prominent positions, and it's possible that the old-style GTA humour was deemed to be part of the negative culture that needed to become more socially conscious. It's shocking to read about some of the stories at Rockstar, everyone deserves to be treated with respect, but it's a shame they seemingly felt like the tone of the games was part of the problem.

 

Rockstar have always had a sort of special arrangement with Take 2 - Rockstar's success essentially made Take 2, so they left them alone and let them do their own thing. Since these stories broke, Take 2 have probably tightened their leash on Rockstar, to avoid further PR disaster.

If the preloads are gonna be a week prior yeah I'm expecting it tomorrow or later tonight, most likely the former.

Y’all gotta relax baby, we’ll be watching Tommy ass jiggle in all it’s glory next with sexy mechanics, gorgeous graphics and a soundtrack to tickle your dingaling

[MrBreak16]

Do you guys think there will be some sort of new game plus? Or the ability to replay missions from the menu?

[BS_BlackScout]

We wouldn't have to wonder so much if Rockstar knew how to communicate

There always was in a sense, like you can collect the rewards for odd jobs before you do missions.
