    What an absolute piece of hot garbage. The best advice I can give is, “don’t buy it”. A simple cash grab from a once great company which will leave a bitter taste in your mouth.

    I couldn’t even finish my 100% review as all the save icons in the game disappeared, ruining all my progress! F**k you, Rockstar

    how can you hate your audience so much that you can do such a thing? do you have a quality control department? it's just a terrible, bogged-down game, such masterpieces were ruined. models, textures, geometry are just terrible quality. protruding algae column from the ocean, curved textures and so on. everything is very sad. rockstar's reputation has sunk to the bottom.

    These games were my childhood. The amount of bugs is just inacceptable from a rich company like R. The greedness-virus has taken over Rockstar and grove street games are just incompetent.

    Please don't buy it. Your giving 60$ to a GTA E&E equivalent. I literally feel like I threw money at the people who took away all the mods I loved. Boycott T2 and Rockstar

    Game Completed : Nov 17, 2021
    Playtime : 17 hours

    Overall, it is an amazing nostalgic experience if you are one of those die hard GTA fan during its prime. people have mix opinion of this game but i keep myself in the developers shoes and understand what they are really trying to create. from the get go, this is not a 10/10 remastered game but you have to understand that this is 3 big epic GTA games bundled in to one. I believe the developers goal is to update the game's visual while preserving its core recipe of what made this 3 games epic and classic and provide its gamers the nostalgic feel and i believe they were able to achieve that. But its far from perfect. after playing couple of hours, you will notice some lazy work from the developer like the rain, physics, pop-ins. The performance is not acceptable for a current Gen.

    Positives:

    i like the driving and road symmetric way better than GTA5. they change this from new sandbox driving games i don't understand why. i like the mission phasing and its immersion to the world map is way better than GTA5. again they change this. To be more specific, they let you experience the first few missions in the 1st area before you get to the next. this way, it lets you appreciate the change of scenery from time to time and get you more excited how big the map you have yet to explore. The story is surprisingly not bad for a 20 year old game. The story of GTA is supper bad. The character design as i mentioned earlier, is a preservation of nostalgic art style.

    Negatives.

    I hate the radio track if not as bad as GTA5. the performance (FPS) is unacceptable , glitches and lazy remaster in some instances.

    driving realism - 8/10
    road symmetric and traffic lights realism - 8/10
    story - 8/10
    mission phasing and its immersion to the world map - 8/10
    Sandbox - 8/10
    graphics - 8/10
    Radio station - 4/10
    Character design - 8/10

    The improved graphics are nice (particularly reflections on cars). I wish the devs would have added a little much-needed polish to these two-decade old games though.
    Bugs and questionable character models can be break immersion.

But then, turns out that this **** by today standards game, also is F*ing broken. A tone of bugs, texture issues, and crashes. For example in vice city the boatyard side quest, when you hit the finish line the game crashes. First I thought it was a coincidence but then after 3 times crashing at the finish line I can confirm it’s a broken quest mission. Now this is unacceptable, as all the fanboys like to point out, this is a remaster, and as such it shouldn’t be such a broken game. Seriously F Rockstar and Taketwo, first you’re milking gta5 for 8 years already. And now you’re trying to milk some 20 year old games, and you didn’t even bother to check them at all before releasing. F you, you greedy sack of ****… Expand

    Hors le remaster à nécessité autrement plus de modifications que le simple fait de supprimer le jeu Hot Coffee.
    À    2005 : La polémique du Hot coffee éclate, Sam Houser explique qu'ils ne peuvent retirer le mini jeu de San Andreas. "Ce n'est pas si simple, modifier une ligne de code pourrais entraîner des changements majeurs et inattendu à n'importe quel endroit du jeu, voir des bugs."
    Hors le remaster à nécessité autrement plus de modifications que le simple fait de supprimer le jeu Hot Coffee.
    À l'époque de la sortie originale du jeu, Sam Houser connaissait déjà le risque.

    La majorité des bugs relevés par les joueurs sont des bugs ou des défauts des jeux originaux. Les comportements parfois douteux des PNJ, le fait de ne pas pouvoir tirer à travers les espaces d'une barrière ou le fait que Tommy Vercetti ne puissent pas grimper sur le bateau et se noie, c'est normal. De ces 3 jeux seul CJ pouvait et peu toujours grimper et nager. Les remaster sont une réussite, les graphismes sont généralement clairement plus appréciables, malgré quelques choix discutable. La majorité des personnages sont restés fidèles à leurs versions d'origine, dommage pour les autres. Les 40 musiques manquantes étaient déjà manquantes des versions du 10th Anniversary.

    La physique du jeu et les bruitages n'ont pas changé, c'est ce qui fait tout le charme de ses jeux aujourd'hui. Sans les spécificités techniques des jeux originaux il n'y a pas de nostalgie !! Si vous jouez sur GTA V avec un mod Vice City vous ne ressentirez pas la nostalgie et l'ambiance mythique de Vice City. En ce point les remasters sont une réussite, ils ne dénaturent pas les jeux originaux. J'ai bientôt fini GTA SA et VC, je n'ai presque jamais eu de bugs. Toutes les missions se passent exactement comme avant. Oui j'ai eu quelques bugs comme le fameux pont invisible. Je l'ai emprunter 2 fois dont une où je suis complètement passé à travers. Mais ce bug n'a pas gâché l'entièreté de l'expérience.

    Alors oui les lancements sur PS5 et PC ont été catastrophique, oui les versions PS4, Xbox One et surtout Switch sont des ramassis de bugs. Mais les versions PS5 et Series ne méritent pas tout cet acharnement !
    Certe il y a des défauts. Mais globalement ça fonctionne et le résultat reste bien meilleur que les versions du début des années 2000.

    Certains se plaignent de la distance d'affichage augmenter qui rend la carte visuellement minuscule. Soit vous garder le brouillard avec une vision limité de la map dans le ciel, mais au sol vous aurez aussi cette limite de distance d'affichage.
    Ou alors vous enlever tout le brouillard, et oui dans le ciel la map paraît plus petite, mais je peu voir le mont Chiliad depuis Grove Street !! Alors perso je passe plus de temps à arpenter les rues et non pas à piloter un avion, donc j'apprécie le rendu apporter par le remaster. À noter qu'une légère brume peu apparaître en fonction de la météo. Personne n'a relevé que les temps de chargement entre îles de GTA III et VC ont été évincés !? En 2001 et 2002 je n'avais qu'une volonté, que Rockstar supprime ces putains de chargement, me voilà servit 20 ans plus tard.

    Les easter eggs originaux sont toujours là. Les ambiances restent inchangées. Les graphismes sont globalement 10 fois plus beaux que les originaux, malgré quelques points noirs. La jouabilité reste intacte et bénéficie de quelques mises à jour, rien de révolutionnaire mais c'est toujours mieux que l'original encore une fois. La trilogie n'est pas parfaite mais remplis quasiment la totalité de son rôle. Proposer des jeux emblématique de la PS2 pour la nostalgie ! Et avec de meilleurs visuels. C'est paris réussi.

    Beaucoup de plainte concernent des défauts orignaux du jeu qui aujourd'hui font partie du gameplay dans l'esprit des nostalgique. Ses bugs présent sur PS2 sont devenus avec le temps des spécificités et sans elle la nostalgie ne serait pas intacte.

    Le seul bémol sur les versions next gen serait donc son prix ? Il est vrai sur 60 € est un peu élevé pour ces 3 remaster, mais bon ça revient à 20 € le jeu ce n'est pas non plus astronomique. Je met un 9/10 merci Rockstar !

    Je tient à préciser un détail sur un point que j'avais homis. La pluie. Vous abusez tous la !! De 1 ce n'est pas si moche et si vous ne savez pas conduire avec cette pluie c'est que vous êtes nul. Ce n'est pas la faute du jeu. Je me suis tué au 5 GTA PS2 encore et encore ces 20 dernières années. Je joue maintenant à cette trilogie et le plaisir est intact. Je pense que vous avez juste oublié ce qu'ils étaient à force de jouer aux nouvelles productions. La conduite est toujours aussi facile sous la pluie. De plus l'effet graphique était le même dans le trailer et avait plu à tout le monde. La majorité des critiques sont infondées et hypocrites.    … Expand

    The worst Rockstar could ever deliver, porting a mobile game to ps5 for 60$ is really not cool and the game isn’t even perfect with full of bugs and CJ character turns invisible half of the times for me in San Andreas.

    Besides looking cartoon-ish and odd, the "Definitive Edition" does what nobody wanted it to do: it's got both old and new bugs.

This may mean two things: either the game is poorly optimized (which it is - just look at the Switch version) or there's a lack of interest when it comes to polishing corners.

    So much was said about keeping the "original spirit" of the game: how, exactly, can that be done, when something as fundamental as fog, which gave the game-world some sort of a mysterious and eerie vibe, was removed, exposing nothing but a small map with a new coat of paint on it?

    The "Definitive Edition" was, definitely, a disappointment. All we can do now is hope some of this mess gets cleaned up. I don't think we, as fans, will be able to let Rockstar get off the hook with this one, but only time will tell.    … Expand
