    this is a disappointment and a slap in the face for all fans of the GTA series. this is by far the worst rockstar game ever. Effective marketers and managers have killed a great game.

    1) When I want to load the game, I don't know which saved game to load, because there is even no time showing you when the game was saved!

    2) I have very powerful $4000+ gaming setup and I am having below 40 FPS when driving fast in 4K resolution (RX 6900 XT 16 GB + 16 GB DDR4 4000 MHz + i9-9900KS 5GHz all cores)!

    3) Audio, AI, physics are all unchanged from the original GTA series

    4) The only good thing about this definitive edition are modernized controls, so GTA Vice city is normally playable on modern computers. When I tried to play the original game, the controls were so bad that I decided to stop playing completely. That's why I give this game 1 point for improving this thing. Graphics are not that much better than original series and for example rain looks terrible.    … Expand

    To say that I am disappointed is to say nothing. Once again I was convinced that Rockstar is not the same, since they give their great games to just anyone.
    1) Bad optimization
    2) Horrible character models
    3) Bugs
    4) Unreasonably high price
    5) Intimidation and lawsuits against moderators
    All this makes you give a bad rating to your game.

    - disgusting game models of the NPC and the game character, not only do they have disgusting 3D models, and the textures are very poorly drawn.
    - censorship, once this studio was not afraid to make fun of Hilary after what she did to them, and now Phil's character is being censored
    -drawing, they made it huge, but when you see another city from the roof of a building, it's not very good

    the verdict is this, the game definitely doesn't deserve a score,
    I took away 5 points for terrible plasticine models that lose sims 4 in elaboration
    I took 3 points for terrible optimization, disgusting rain, texture glitches, lack of coalition.
    I took away 2 balls for its price. a reissue of this level does not cost $ 60. if you say that I buy 3 games for $ 20, I would rather buy other games, which I advise you, even better to buy the original parts in a physical copy.
    I took away 2 points for the policy of the company, in particular the DMCA. a scandal with modders who made improved versions of old GTA parts because of which they had to completely stop developing mods.
    I will add 2 points only because of some graphic elements, but this is not the merit of the developers, but the merit of the engine.

    verdict, don't buy this. for that kind of money, you can find anything better than this product. if you want to buy it, think 20 times before that, no one will fix it later, modders will not at least somehow improve it after all that they had to endure.

San Andreas was best they could do in 2004. It was revolutionary. Is this remaster best they can do now? Even if they wanted to keep original feel, they failed, because there's none of it. They removed all the fog and they think that's okay? Map looks like minecraft now. What the hell? Even GTA 5 doesn't have that much draw-distance. No game should have so much draw distance and even then, every game has some fog covered areas, etc. You are not supposed to see EVERYTHING on map. That completely ruins the immersion. By the way San Andreas map is not actually that small, it is pretty big, they just managed to ruin the immersion by removing any atmosphere. In gta 3 and vice city you still can't climb over anything, still can't swim. This makes no sense. You could have just copied San Andreas swimming and climbing animation and add it to 3 and Vice City, but i guess they are not talented enough to do that with 2 years of development time. All they can do is making ugly inconsistent textures and copy pasting same Palm trees all over the maps.… Expand

    I didn´t expect 2021 graphics but slapping on some reflections and smoothing out some edges won´t cut it either. And the rain. The rain. It is atrocious. It moves with you, it seemingly doesn´t work correctly over water, I fear to get seizures from it when I look to long at it. Floating objects, invisible bridges, broken missions (VC - gunrunner) it is all there.
    The SA character models are great - if you like Lovecraftian horrors that is. The flying controls (helicopters and partially the jetpack) are a beautiful lesson on ergonomic design - at least if you are part of the populace which has three hands. If you missed out on warcraft reforged, Fallout 76 and Cyberpunk this game is a must have - so you at least can be part of THIS spectacular faecal fiesta. In a true heroic fashion R*/GSG delivered a limbo dance and managed to slip UNDER the bar of my non-existing expectations obviously using a shovel - or an excavator. Damn... this "remaster" is just bad.
    Maybe I would rate it a 1 (or a 2 for the meme-potential) but at the moment I can´t play the games I paid for any more. So yes, tis is a 0 - literally unplayable. I knew I probably would get a turd when I bought this abomination but R* failed to deliver even that. I am not even mad. This is just hilarious.

    Character models look ripped straight out of Fortnite, endless bugs, typos, warped textures and an overall unfaithful experience to the original games. Buy the originals, not these scuffed versions.

    So, being R*/T2, ones of the biggest and the richest names in gaming industry, how do you manage remastering one of the best and most influential trilogies that defined 6th generation of consoles and put you in position you're currently enjoy? Their answer to that is outsourcing it to some small third-rate studio (Groove Street Games) whose portfolio contains infamously horrible GTA:SA X360/PS3 remasters, among other not so great ports of different games. Doesn't sound like a bright idea to me. It shows how much R*/T2 care about quality and legacy of their old games though.

    Graphics/Performance/Gameplay
    GSG basically ported inferior mobile versions to UE4 (isn't really hard thing to do (unlike reverse engineering GTA3/VC;), just takes some time). AI upscaled textures (probably didn't even looked at results), made them work with UE4 lighting. Added a little bit new objects here and there. So for most improvements you should thank UE4 accessibility. Also "DE" has very long draw distance, which is great by itself, but because they removed smog for some reason (maybe Epsilonism doesn't allow this) you can now clearly see how really small the map is. Just sad. Cinematic camera is removed like in mobile. Technically new lighting is better, but it changes the atmosphere too much. More often than not it looks worse imho, in some scenes it can look great, so it's hit and miss. Rain as well rarely looks great. Money models are huge, I see they like it a lot. For some reason GSG added gross outlines on enemies (forgot to do it on some fonts though). Things that are really improved are vegetation, vehicles (not by much, but it's enough in this case tbh), overall polycount and texture quality. Also it works fine at 60+ fps unlike original. All in all, it combines some technical improvements with lack of visual integrity, style and soul. Performance on the other hand is unforgivably bad for this level of graphics, you can have drops even on high end PCs and next gen consoles. Turns out there's a "real" reason for adding DLSS. Gameplay-wise it's mostly the same with some minor changes to make games easier: you no longer lose your weapons if you die during missions; health restores after missions; more armor pick-ups etc. It's worth to say there's no more NPC health indicators in SA and ability to crouch in VC.

    Grand Toon Auto
    The worst thing about so called "DE" is character models, by far. This is total visual disaster! I can't recall any game with characters so disgustingly atrocious and so out of place like in this one. Some of them don't even look like human beings. Appearance of many main characters was changed considerably. Tommy, poor guy, now it's easier to jump over him than get around him. Not all that bad though, he got awesome sun tun (he denies it btw). Lance looks like Eddie Murphy made out of Plasticine (kinda charming). Rosenberg now looks like a kid with chest full of hair and with women's sunglasses. Sweet probably tried to stop GTA train by his face and CJ saw it in that moment. Woozie should be glad he's blind. Claude apparently tired of all this sh*t and who could blame him. The less be said about female characters the better. They all are meme-worthy.

    Censorship/Removed songs/Unavailability of old games/Price
    Big part of these games appeal is undoubtedly iconic soundtrack and "definitive editions" have probably more cut songs than any other versions. 'Nuff said. As for censorship, I get it, in a game where you can cause mayhem with all sorts of weapons and battle vehicles killing half of American population, in a game where you can use chainsaw on people, fry 'em with flamethrower or Molotov's, all in a city that has more criminals than in prison, the Confederate flag would be an overkill. Makes perfect f*cking sense! They ask for all that rotten sh*t 60 American Dollars! What, ARE THEY OUT OF THEIR MINDS? I guess it's some kind of 1$ per 1fps policy. Good for us performance in "DE" is so bad. Don't forget you can't buy old versions digitally anymore. Thank you R* and *U. Worse than that, a lot of cool mods was banned for this s*.

    You lift weights? I lift joints.
    Games just scream how lazy, cheap, low effort they are. GSG couldn't even remade intro videos, they still show old graphics (I've had some mod for VC back in the day in which intro was remade and it was done fairly well actually). All menus have San Andreas sounds now FFS! In terms of bugs and lags it can give C2077 a run for its money. And list could go on, but it's supposed to be a short review. Overall, there's as much definitive about these versions as sweet about Sweet Johnson or G in OG Loc. I's more like a Cluckin' Bell hamburger made out of processed chicken ass, with "just" 10% guano in it. Well, at least hamburger can be tasty, GTA Definitive Edition is definitely tasteless.    … Expand

    I don't know who was responsible for this game remake. But it the most disgusting remake I've ever seen. They did nothing to make these games great again. I never played mods of these games 'cause they don't add anything but shine and weather effects and I hoped that remakes added quality 3d models but they are still like at 2001. This product doesn't worth my money at all.

They removed all the fog and they think that's okay? Map looks like minecraft now. What the hell? Even GTA 5 doesn't have that much draw-distance. No game should have so much draw distance and even then, every game has some fog covered areas, etc. You are not supposed to see EVERYTHING on map. That completely ruins the immersion. By the way San Andreas map is not actually that small, it is pretty big, they just managed to ruin the immersion by removing any atmosphere. In gta 3 and vice city you still can't climb over anything, still can't swim. This makes no sense. You could have just copied San Andreas swimming and climbing animation and add it to 3 and Vice City, but i guess they are not talented enough to do that with 2 years of development time. All they can do is making ugly inconsistent textures and copy pasting same Palm trees all over the maps.… Expand

    As for the only game I was actually able to activate and play was GTA3, so here is the thing about that. The problem with remastering old games is you have fond memories and worse, exaggerated memories of how good they 'actually' wore in the past, and GTA3 is no exception. This becomes a problem to review a game just based on the remaster itself, sure it has a few quality of life updates and the graphics are a huge improvement but that being said, still issues persist like insane rain that makes it harder to see anything going on but for the most part no real technical issues, the main issues are legacy issues from the original like punishing gameplay and exceptionally difficult and frustrating missions, everyone gave GTA3 glowing reviews and pass from these issues because back in the day, *they were indeed groundbreaking* but now, not so much.

Whoever worked on this have only slight experience in photoshop, thats it. They have no idea how to program new things. This is most amateurish product, billion dollar company has ever released. I absolutely dont care that Rockstar North didnt work on this. They hired the studio, they green lit it, they were okay to release it in state like this. Its all on them. Everything. Now Rockstar Launcher has been down over a day, i cant even play Red Dead Redemption 2, because it asks me to connect to internet and i cant do that, because launcher is down. This is ridiculous. They have milked GTA Online over 8 years and thats all they are capable of for now. Yes Red Dead 2 was great, but that was 4-5 years ago. Thats a long time. I have zero hope for GTA 6, absolutely none. I bet it will be with short story and extreme focus on online, i mean who know, maybe whole game will be just online, but im pretty sure they will design GTA 6 map, so it would mostly fit for online.

    First and foremost I would like to preface this by saying that I am fully aware these games were supposed to be remastered and not ground-up remakes.

    However, even taking that into account this game still deserves a 0! It doesn't matter if Rockstar themselves did not make this, the Grand Theft Auto franchise is their intellecual property and therefore their responsibility.

    It doesn't matter if Rockstar themselves did not make this, the Grand Theft Auto franchise is their intellecual property and therefore their responsibility. This game was given the greenlight and shipped out in an absolutely horrendous shape. There are too many for me to list but here are some major ones:

    -GTA San Andreas has messed up lighting and shadows: everything is too dark.
    -GTA Vice City is unbeatable, there is a game breaking bug in a mission about the Vice City mall that won't let you beat the game.
    -The rain literally looks like white milk coming down in a grid and looks extremely unrealistic.
    -The wasted screen will always show blood even if you died without there being blood (drowning).
    -The mission restart screen looks like a flash game.
    -So many awful textures. Just the overall art direction of the game is terrible.
    -There is an extremely ugly white outline whenever you shoot at characters that can't be turned off.
    -The physics and handling of cars in Vice City was changed and yet they still kept the jank animations for all the player and NPC combat and shooting.

    Do yourself a favour and please just play the originals.    … Expand

    Let's see, where do we start: the game is a port from the Android version, which is a port of the 2005 PC version, which is a port from the Xbox port, from the PS2 release. ALL of those ports added bugs, oh and there are bugs, a LOT of bugs, you wanna check them? Go to the r/GTA subreddit or scroll through Twitter. The character models are awful to look at, not cartoony or not realistic,Let's see, where do we start: the game is a port from the Android version, which is a port of the 2005 PC version, which is a port from the Xbox port, from the PS2 release. ALL of those ports added bugs, oh and there are bugs, a LOT of bugs, you wanna check them? Go to the r/GTA subreddit or scroll through Twitter. The character models are awful to look at, not cartoony or not realistic, they're plain bad. They went with AI upscaling for the textures for all the games, and it shows a lot in some parts. The attention to detail that the originals had was trashed by putting anachronical things, for example, a printer with a touch screen and USB ports, in 1992.

    The forests in GTA SA do look kinda good though.

    There are some parts where graphics do look good, however, no version has ever captured the atmosphere from the PS2 releases, and this is more noticeable due to the removal of the fog and increasing the draw distance, making the maps of all the games feel very small and very... unfinished.

    The PC versions are a hot mess right now, you don't even wanna touch with a 10 foot bar pole. It released with the cut music they were supossed to remove because they don't have the license, and they also released with A LOT of SOURCE CODE (scripts, mission scripts, translations, models, and much much more). Right now, you can't play the game because the Rockstar Games Launcher went on mainteance for the release day... for 24 hours. So what did they do when the launcher is back online? Remove the access to the games until they solve the files thing, which obviously for boomers like them is enough, but if you are on the internet, always on the internet.

    re3 and many singleplayer mods from the last 20 years have died for this, sued by Rockstar Games and Take Two Interactive, hold them accountable.    … Expand

    This is a disgrace it's a buggy mess and to think they removed good mods for this excuse if a game the character models are awful theres less content than in the original games no one would've cared if they left it for a few more months so it could be properly developed but this is a tragedy Read Dead 2 was really the end of an era for rockstar games

    Rockstar dropped the ball on this remaster. The cars and other moving models look like plastic toys and the cities look like polished excrement. The contrast between the environment and the models is horrible and the list of bugs is long and obnoxious. Quality of life changes are the only redeeming part of this remaster that does no favours for fans or newcomers. Skip it until they either fix it or let the moders do their job.

    I cannot currently recommend Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition on the PC, and a lot has to happen until I do. The truth is that I've had a decent amount of fun with this remaster; part of it is based on nostalgia, and part of it is based on some ridiculous, unavoidable bugs that weren't as frequent as I'd feared. Given all of these issues and the abysmal performance of the three games on the PC, I'd stay away from the trilogy until several major updates have been released. Even then, this remaster may not be for everyone.

    Overall, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition was set up to be one of the best things for GTA fans and it failed to hit that mark. It will now be remembered as a failure to launch title but I am sure Rockstar will step in and continue to fix some items within their game world.
