Hello! Im new here some friends from  r/Trilogy recommend this thread to post some of my findings i foun on the images of GTA Trilogy DE screenshots and/or trailer...

 

so here im, pretty exited

 

1. GTA 4 Police Badge on gta 3 DE police cars.

The cars in that screenshot have the gta 4 badge and not the police badge used in the original gta 3 game.

imgur image - idk how to uplaod images on forum. lol

 

2. Some peds look like they changed a bit their clothes,

imgur link - with one ped from GTA SA DE (i saw that before on twitter) and the lady model from gta 3.

 

3. Looks like they added more peds color variations in games. (maybe they didnt change peds clothing as i said on 2.)

similar peds with different clothes, this wasnt in the original GTA 3

 

4. Looks like they improved the 3d models of chairs (hope they will do the same on E&E)

not my image but the chairs looks different in DE, better models

 

5. They removed the Phill confederate flag from his tank top

Phil tank top in DE and original game

 

6. 3D letters on hotels in gta VC DE

the DE version of GTA VC use 3d letters on hotels while the original used a 2d textures.

 

7. The Kaufman Cabs taxi in gta VC DE is based on the xbox version of kaufman cabs not the pc one.

on left the kaufman cabs taxi from pc game, and on right the DE trailer image based on xbox version of gta vc taxi.

 

--- minor foundings on the DE screenshots and/or trailer.

texture misplaced on traffic light pole,  looks like the texture is repetitive for some reason.

 

 

Thank you for your time reading my post, its my 1st one here. and Thanks to some good people from r/trilogy and the discord server of r/trilogy who supported me and encouraged me to look for these and find it very usefull. thank you

Night time in GTA III doesn't look blue now, great!

Rainy Liberty nights look so dope

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)

 

it really is the lighting then, holy sh*t. hopefully they give us an option to play with filters like gtav

Did anyone spot the adrenaline pickup? or what looks to be.

Just like I had predicted:

• We get GTA V's controls system. 
• Weapon & Radio Station Wheels.
• Mini Map

All these things aside, ability to restart missions is a welcome addition. Several of the III Era Mobile games had these features. No specific word on having 4K support for PC systems. NVIDIA GPU's get DLSS (Upscaling Graphics).

  

The crouch animation was always present. It can be enabled for weapons via editing files. I've personally enabled the crouch on my mods before using CLEO and in-game scripts. Hopefully it'll be a default now.

There's no GTAV's control system, it's just the button map similar to V

The pickups are still the same. Not changed to Vice City, San Andreas or newer kind of pickups. I guess for Armour, we will still have the icon, not the vest like pickup from Vice City or later games.

This is what I meant. I just worded it different.

They did also talk about improved aiming and stuff, though, so I expect 3 and VC to play a bit more like SA in regards to gunplay

They just upgraded the old gameplay, it will not be similar to V, just the controls

Well, yeah, like I said, like SA. Which is basically just a slightly clunkier version of V without a cover system.

Stuff can be done to fix the colors of these games, through SweetFX or Nvidia Freestyle. Now I'm kind of excited, not gonna lie. Still though, it's best to wait for release before doing anything like pre-ordering.

It is not as impressive as it could be, at they could par graphics with SA. General style is important, but DE GTA III looks outdated in game play footage:).

 

Would only play it, if it is possible to buy the game separated from others.

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

Misty face is way better in the original. In the current one, looks like she is 15 years older and user of crack or some sh*t.

Joey looks like Buzz Lightyear. Really weird scene, probably the worst of all three games even though overall, III seems to look the best.

Cross-quoting this here as I think it's a good comparison for this topic.

I took the liberty to export these frames in after effects from the 4K Trailer directly hosted by Rockstar for the best image quality.

 

 

Thought this would also belong to this topic, please use at your disposal.

They took inspiration from  the new Matrix...probably.

Always looked like a blue tint, to me. That looks like the Matrix... and I LOVE that! 

Hey Rockstar, if you are watching, give us some filters to apply, or saturation/tone settings.

[TrinityCR]

When I did some art of the cover girls the other day I had someone on Reddit ask why I made Misty look like a meth head. Honestly that's always been the vibe I got from her official art and I guess Rockstar felt the same.
