I doubt it will ever happen at this point. I just think R* would have relisted those versions when they posted their "apology", like what they did with the original PC versions on the Launcher. 

 

It sucks since, aside from the framepacing issues, the original PS2 on PS4 versions were the most faithful way to play the Trilogy on modern consoles. But it seems like console players will forever be stuck with the DE versions. I never thought R* would stoop this low, but here we are...

Xbox can emulate the original games and run them really well on the Series X:

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I just set RetroArch up on my Series X and can confirm that VC and SA run surprisingly well (the latter has a visual bug that wasn't fixed in the RetroArch version of PCSX2, but nothing game-breaking EDIT: You have to turn on "Auto Flush" in the hacks menu to fix this; I haven't tested it yet, but the description mentions that there's a performance hit if you do this). For anyone who has a Series console and doesn't mind setting up RetroArch, I'd argue that this is a far better experience than R*'s own "Definitive Editions".

Am going to replay this at some point soon this year. What version would everyone recommend right now? I'm tempted to just dust off the old PS2 version as that is the quintessential experience where all the nostalgia comes from for me, but quite interested in this supposed definitive version and whether there are any marked improvements?

 

Had the PS4 version and quite enjoyed that, would redownload that if I could but doubt it's still listed, from what I've read in this thread its not...

Just play original PS2 version if you have it, it's the most complete version of all versions of the game. PC version lacks a lot of PS2 stuff which can be added through mods and other methods but it's time consuming. As for other version just skip them, not worth at all. I mean you can play DE but for me it's a downgrade in every regard except for the graphics. It lacks songs, they censored some stuff and it has the same bugs as PC version and some mobile ones too. Overall it's a failure.

Mods to make VC a complete game are not time consuming at all. There are really good modpacks for VC with real easy download and installation. THE BEST ONE HANDS DOWN

Depends on which mods you want and some people only want certain things, so finding each mod individually or removing stuff you don't want from mod packs is time consuming.

I can assure you will need to remove nothing from this mod. Even if you wanna change weapons or vehicle skins, you can do that easily by replacing the files in modloader with a couple of clicks. Mods are not as hard or time consuming as you think.

Edit: It seems that tweaking custom settings too much can crash the game and bug out some things.

Anyone know if the latest update disabled some of the cheats? The cheats I used, on the Switch version, worked well before the recent update. I input them now and some don't even work anymore. Not sure if the update also affected cheats in other consoles.
