    Poor AI Bugs Burst One of the weakest nonsense and hilarious remasters in history was not really expected of the company from Rockstar

    The GTA Trilogy "Definitely Not Definitive Edition" is sad. Because if done correctly, this could have been one of the, if not the greatest Trilogy ever assembled in 1 package.

    The soundtrack is completely unacceptable. Either bring every song that is in the original game, or dont bother bringing any. The greed on either Take-Twos side, or the music industry's (I believe both) is BS. Come to terms, get the music! The graphics are okay, albeit a little odd at times. The visual atmosphere is really missing in San Andreas. The performance is unstable, which is comical on PS5. Why can't we get a Native 4K, locked 60FPS on all 3 games.... which are Cell Phone Ports! Speaking of which.



    Mobile Phone Ports to home consoles, and PC!? Are you kidding me? What a Joke! The phone games already severely compromised Rockstars original vision.    … Expand

    I don't think to be honest it's plays well on next gen. It's disappointing and it's best playing the normal versions of the games.

    I'm enjoying it, cities look great and drivings cool, musics mostly there
    Yeah there's glitches...
    They distract and can be a pain
    But these are still great games

    a very weak game compared to the originals, the game has an instagram filter and a bad character model. I would say it's lazy, the game is pretty graphically but the graphics don't save this game from this disaster

    It's sad, that this remasters did not carry many of the original's features. For example:

    Vice City: - no "Mission complete" music - menu sounds from GTA SA, and poorly implemented, like no sound on hover San Andreas: - only sprint ride on bicycle (I suppose it comes from mobile versions). Original game had a regular ride - Buff/Fat CJ run animations same as skinny. Original game    It's sad, that this remasters did not carry many of the original's features. For example:

    - Buff/Fat CJ run animations same as skinny. Original game had three different run animations
    - no sound on hover in menu

    And that's what I found playing less that hour in each game. According to Youtube videos there are more.

    UPDATE 12/14/2021
    Almost all of this has been fixed in latest updates. So I'm raising it from 0 to 4 due to lingering bugs. Hope to raise it to a higher score someday.    … Expand

    The rain in San Andreas at least is not fixed as they have claimed to fix it at least the plane gravity rain issue and it not showing in front of object like lakes or rocks.

    People still look like hideous monsters on the streets of every game and the AI is more stupid than I think the original games are.

    I grew up living and breathing the GTA series from GTA 1 on the gameboy to GTA V on the PS4 and this is the last game I will be giving money to as they are refusing refunds.

    CDPR, Square Enix, RockStar and EA Dice used to be great companies but they have all fallen at the wayside and are not the companies that now care about how they release games and what quality they are when they do so.

    Shame on you Rockstar……..

    (For all the idiots defending this game it’s okay to be hurt and it’s okay to be critical especially if you spend £59 pounds on a game The very least you can expect is for it to not be a bug ridden shell of its former self)    … Expand

    This game only gets a 4 because under all the bugs and awful new graphics the original games are still good. The "definitive edition" is bad and you shouldn't play it, play the original games instead and you'll have a better time.

There is some positive in the game like checkpoints, weapon wheel, draw distance, and GPS but that is the only change. The game looks cartoony compared to GTA IV and V, it looks like a mobile version of the game. The game's rain is giving me headaches. The gameplay is still the same to no change, you can't aim while drive bying, even 2006 Saints Row has that as this made me appreciate Saints Row more than GTA SA IMO that was just a cash grab for Rockstar.… Expand

    I would really love to give these remasters a better score but with 3 out of 10 I'm already pretty generous.

On top of that, there are gameplay 'changes', which are limited to a weapon and radio wheel, everything else is nothing to write home about in my opinion. Of course there are mission checkpoints now, but that's the least you can expect from a so called remaster. All of these 'improvements' and 'changes' are so impressive that even the PS5 or any other system for that matter can't handle them properly. The games are so demanding in fact that the framerate constantly struggles to reach its goal of 60 fps depending upon which settings you are using. If you bought the trilogy for 60 bucks like I did, expecting a Rockstar games quality game, you weren't just fooled, back stabbed and bamboozled, you were quite frankly ribbed off. And if you haven't bought it yet, just don't. These remasters are just lazy ports of mobile versions of the most beloved and influential games of the early 2000s, heck, probably ever. Just stay away from it.… Expand

    From the Definitive Edition of the iconic GTA titles emerged a technically unfinished remaster, which remained halfway. The content is and will always remain timeless, but the way to get to it and to enjoy it is simply not good.

    A textbook example of how not to remaster games from the PlayStation 2 era, these defective "definitive" releases are just desecration of three classic titles that deserve much better treatment.
