I wonder what the car sounds and police lights will be like too.

It seems that they used some of the textures from gta 4 and gta 5 like detail in roads and definitely palm trees. 

Very likely.

 

I wonder if they took GTA VC's textures from GTA VI??? hahahhaa

Vice City looks great, but Tommy looks too friendly. I fear that his language is too rough for his face. 

[DuPz0r]

My guess is Tommy still wont be getting any swimming animations since there's again no spots for him to climb out. Judging by the golf links anyway, which is all meant to be island formations. But it's still cut off like some kind of canal.

If he cant swim I hope somebody mods that ASAP, if game allows mod of course.

should be easy to mod since all three games likely have the same code, so it should be easy to add things like bikes to gta 3, swimming to vc etc. although rockstar will add that stupid auto-update feature to effectively stop mods altogether

I'm glad that my boy Humberto is still the same

How good of a PC would you need to run this? Keep in mind I've got a 1050

It's annoying grovestreetgames turned Tommy into a Disney prince. I hate that Tommy's expression went from looking like he's constantly pissed off to looking like he's pleading to the other assholes to do this heist with him instead of TELLING them they're doing it.

[MekhiSkyline]

I sincerely hope that the Trilogy Remaster wont have any game breaking bugs, but idk its R* were talkin about.

[CharlesVercetti]

I think it's a good time to show off my pfp of a random GTA5 third party Tommy remake who looks better than the remaster.

water is meh and the reflections bad.

 

C'mon this is supposed to be a PS5/XSX/PC screenshot!

[JRC99]

I think I know where they went wrong with Tommy- they based him off the wrong character! Look, he's fat and orange! It's Timmy Vermicelli!

 

[TenLucas]

The more I look at thick Tommy, the more I like him, am I weird?

From the trailer:

Aw dude this is total bullsh*t, that above screenshot is intentionally downgraded just to make the impact of the "remaster" more meaningful than it already is. It does not look that bad at all ingame, look at this:

 

 

How shameful of them to do this.

That's not true. You've taken the photo from much, much closer.

Here's what it actually looks like, which I literally posted on the previous page.

It looks exactly like the trailer:

Why not make Rosenberg a female character instead? Adding feminine features is just half assing it IMHO.

They made Tommy fatter?

 

Well, I can't say it doesn't suit him because it actually does.

He sure looks fat in that Hawaiian shirt. I hope that it's not the final result and it's just the video making his skeletal structure like that. Tommy looks quite better in the soiree.

 

As much as I like the daytime graphics of this remaster, the reflections are not upto my expectations, especially at night. The ones on grass look too unreal to me.

I don't really see the feminine features. What I see are the lack of wrinkles. Why? Doesn't make any sense, he looks like a toy figure now.

I expected more details on the streets honestly. Those palm trees seem to be there because of the higher draw distance, not because they are new addition. There's maybe more of them but there's still a lot of empty space.

Dude. The trees are completely remodeled. Look again

Dude, that has nothing to do with what I said. I never mentioned models.

[Shade3444]

Now thats better.

[Red Dead Rebel]

People seriously think this sh*t is better looking than the remaster?

yes i do

I know Rockstar would love to be compared to the worst case scenario (considering they took down the other options and DMCA'd/sued any fans working on improving those) but I really feel like you can see something got lost in translation when you look at the game modded (just the "basically required mods", to be precise SilentPatch, SkyGFX, Project 2DFX & the widescreen fix) compared to what R* cooked up

 

 

(above is only here to show what i tried to match the time of day on)

 

 

As per their own comparison this is roughly the same time of day and honestly the difference in how pleasant it is to the eye is massive. Is the remaster technically more impressive? I mean yeah, it's running on an engine that's at least 13 years older than this game. But it really just doesn't capture the same atmosphere - and I can safely assume that the radio stations will not have the original songs - kind of makes me wonder what am I paying 60 dollars for here

I guess this is a PS2 vs. PC difference. They likely used the PS2 draw distance as a reference in the trailer.

Exactly. Could they have done better in 2002? Yes, by all means. Does it bother me? No. Why? It's not out of place.

[DoubleDutch]

They have clearly tried to make the 3 games look different. Vice City always looked very cartoony, even at the time, so they have given Vice City a cartoony style. It never looked realistic to begin with, not even in 2002. Whereas San Andreas looked a little more realistic so they have maintained the more realistic look with the remaster. All 3 remasters seem to match the art style of the originals pretty well (in terms of character design)

Here's a comparison shot I threw together using reVC as reference, right from the start of the game (time of day is not exact).

Ah yes, I like how the sleeves encapsulate the arm like a fleshlight.
