GTA 3 DE now uses GTA 4's LCPD icons on its police vehicles.

'Nuff said.

 

 

There seems to be more detail in the original. Can't believe mods died for this.

The numbers of the plate are floating

Can't lie, they really crapped themselves with characters, they look more blury and soap like.

A small observation but it appears that vehicles now have unique license plates like SA:

Also new and updated features mentioned on the website:

• A GTAV-style controller layout
• Improved gunplay and targeting controls
• Updated Weapon and Radio selection wheels
• Updated Mini-Maps with enhanced navigation allowing players to set waypoints to destinations
• The ability to immediately restart a failed mission

From what I've seen in the trailer and based on screenshots, GTA 3 looks/seems darker which is really good and it fits perfectly. Claude is the scariest protagonist in my opinion, he will kill and do anything for money, without any remorse or emotions, dude is a complete psycho.

Without saying a single word

Looking at the idaho in the background it seems like the damage models of cars will be the same.

 

Also the police car just behind Claude, engine seems a little flat, no?

New peds except for the grandma in yellow I think.

It seems that peds now have alternating textures and some conserve the original texture, the reason they probably look blockier barring the guy in purple is because of the LOD models.

New Claude and Salvatore models and textures. Same for the interior. 

 

His model imo is not as bad as some of the others. (Salvatore)

it's just the lightning of that cutscene. There is a lot of improvements

[Jamesrock]

This is where it all started. I'm ready to go back again. Trying to beat this the entire Summer of 2002 even though I got the game in February brings back great memories. I miss gaming with my cousins. I'm a little emotional. 

 

Edit: One of my cousins actually passed away in July. He was only 35. At the time I was 10 and had no idea what I was getting into with gta 3 even though I had London and GTA II.

It's different but also good. I have modded versions of each game but they're not the most stable overall. I would rather play the new DE versions if they are 1:1 remasters like people wanted.

[Watain]

Tbh I haven't played this since 2006 or so and compared to VC and SA I barely played it at all. It's gonna be fun revisiting this one and its rendition of LC.

 

But yeah, the cartoony characters in this and VC will def take some gettin' used to. Not sure how I feel about 'em. Everything else looks cool though, especially for such old and dated games. R* seems to have pulled off a more than decent job with these remasters.

Claude looks great here. I hope Playa2 exists. 

[sappy92]

They've done a good job with Claude. He looks the best out of the three protagonists. Wonder what younger Claude will look like in SA too.

Just been looking at this in the 4K trailer (was going to upload screens, but I suppose that's unnecessary) 

 

Anyway, I think this is the best comparison that summarizes my feeling on it. They brightened up the image and just saturated the game. Everything else is pretty much there. Details, hair, the same level of detail on the clothes. It just looks... jarring because now it's a lot brighter and more colourful. To see if my thought process was about right, I edited the screenshot to look more like the original (Although not perfect, as I'm no expert)

 

[Bigglo145]

I played the game when i was young but never completed it, so now i can finally do that. I bought it with the trilogy before on ps4 but i just couldnt get into it, will definitely complete it now with the updated shooting mechanics

I disagree. The blocky bodies naturally made the clothes look wrinkled which happens clothes if you wear them for a while. I wish they replicated that effect. Here they look perfectly smooth.

Yeah, some of the color correction changes are kind of questionable.
His arm is pretty weird in that shot as well, might be the even-ness of the texture.
His face is actually good imo. Same for the back of Claude's head.

Ironically, because the models are no longer blocky. His arm looks weird being smooth lol

 

Can't win, I guess.

[oatfull]

I doubt this is an easter egg within the images released, as I can't see Tommy or Carl in their respective main world images but Claude is easily visible on the train for the GTA III image.

So, cops crouch in GTA III now?
