    Our expectations were low but holy f*ck. This is wrong on so many levels but knowing Rockstar no issue will be resolved. Imagine having trouble hitting 60 fps in a 20 years old game.

    Foi uma longa espera pelo retorno da série GTA aos consoles da nintendo, e o resultado nao poderia ser mais decepcionante. Frame Rate caindo a quase zero, em um jogo de 2005! Num console de 2014! Em san andreas nao tem nem como usar cheats. Foram capazes de piorar a experiencia que é jogoar os classicos ao extremo. Meus parabens pelo trabalho porco Rockstar.

    This game was over-hyped and was released being very buggy. I've experienced issues ranging from graphical issues to severe frame rate drops(especially in GTA III). Do not buy and if you did, call Nintendo for a refund saying how bad this game is.

    But the performance is horrible (unstable 30 fps, blurry gameplay, crashes...). It makes me wonder how much time did they spent on this version...

    Seeing the results makes me wish they just released the originals in HD. Wait for the physical release and let's see if there's a patch by then, because rn it's a mess...    … Expand

    If you expected a half-assed port, then you’re pretty on the mark. There’s a lot of strange issues that crop up across all three games. Texture pop-ins are pretty standard. I honestly wish they’d just ported the gen 5 versions than let another studio “remaster” them.

After watching the trailer and the gameplay that was merged the day before the release, I realized that I would not even go into the Definitive Edition, and what to go there, everything is already clear from the trailers and gameplay.

    If T2 and Rockstar Games didn't need the money, they would have made a good remaster, but the reality is upsetting.

Like there's so many damn things i wanna rip on this like how gta 3 on the switch doesnt **** have cheats yet every other console does? And again the **** weapon wheel people i mean come on i know im not the only one that feels that way about the weapon wheel not being able to have all the weapons in the game considering gta v has way more guns in each slot i find that **** like its super **** easy to program bro
    Im seriously thinking of just playing gta online due to how **** embarrassing the remastered trilogy is and we all know how **** chaotic that **** is
    Also why do we have all 29 radio stations yet not all the original music considering how **** rich cockstar is like thats the holy grail of remastering **** is having some original content whilst being able to make it look pretty but also SOUND **** PRETTY TOO.

    In many ways the switch version actually looks worse than the PS2 version, both in terms of art style and performance, and the frame rate drops and hitching might actually be worse than the original.

    This is my personal biggest disappointment since cyberpunk, but in a lot of ways this is actually worse. Rockstar has the money, they could and should have done better.

    There are some good additions on this port.

    - Biggest highlight (bittersweet) - The GTA games are finally on a Nintendo platform, sth which did not happen since Chinatown wars on DS. (There are downsides which will be elaborated later in the review.

    - The lighting additions and refined shadows and textures improve the visuals compared to the original ports.

    - Some of the icons are being reused from the mobile editions, which is quite refreshing. Not a big upgrade, but welcome nonetheless.

    - The weapon wheel, maybe the most welcome addition, together with GPS marked road and the refined controls. It makes a quite decent alignment in game controls with later installments, specially GTA V.

    The original experience of GTA is (almost) untouched. Is good to be back. But that's about it regarding bright sides. In fact, all of the above have their negative counterparts, which add more than one pain or unpleasant surprise which blurs the core experience of the game.

    - Coming back to graphic additions, most of these can be found in cars, and some characters having different clothing colours, but dont get too close to the faces - they lack any kind of detail or expression- Many times it feels like a 2012 remaster rather than 2021's... The change on textures also brings new bugs on the scene: Strange violet/golden textures overlapping in our clothing and other textures ( I saw a tree becoming pink in groove street). Some other textures are even creepy (have you seen Cesar Vialpando's hands looking somehow like Edward Scissorhands?? GOD)

    - Second remark on graphics, the resolution is terrible... On handled is already poor, but many games suffer this issue (even Mario Odyssey). I was playing my first days on handled, and I was hoping that things would be much more detailed on docked, but I was VERY wrong... Feels that the resolution stays the same...

    - Some of the icons came from mobile, together with the new controls for the gym weights or lowrider/dancing moves... It went from challenging tasks on the original to far too easy (and even boring) on this version...

    - The weapon wheel does not come complete, meaning we cannot have two weapons of the same type like we can have on GTAV. The GPS tracker works sometimes. The controls feel clunky on many occasions, and is IMPOSSIBLE to do free aim! Super bad adjusted sensitivity. You better enabled classic or assisted aim, and pray to be lucky when on missions which require free aim...

    - The streets are much emptier than usual, and the elements on the screen appear much later. Things change completely if you rotate the view around you, going from a street full of npc's to none or viceversa...

    Overall, and as I already pointed out, this port is very poor, and I just hope they may add patches to cover some of the defects which perturb coming back to these three games (now for the first time I hope they wont port GTAV to Switch, cuz given my experience with these games, it could be PAINFUL)    … Expand

    This remaster is a joke and just a cash grab. Doing the bare minimum and stíl made a 20 year old game worse on modern consolse. The fact they hid the gameplay before launch and took down the old versions to charge full price was two fingers to consumers

    A shockingly bad port of three great games from the PlayStation 2 era. While the games ARE playable, the games run at such a low resolution that it often makes things hard to see. Honestly, porting the original games would have looked far better than this mess.

    The game formula still works and is entertaining, but there are a number of bugs and game crashes that show how little effort was put into producing this games; issues that must be addressed so the game can be played as well as the original versions.

    I could put up with a lot of the jank, terrible character models and glitches if I had just got a version of GTA I could play on the go that ran at a stable 30fps.

The framerate is never a stable 30 and seems to hover in the 20s 99% of the time no matter what's happening on screen. In drag race missions in SA, the game literally freezes for 1-2 seconds when I hit a checkpoint, making them next to impossible to complete. The game are also butt ugly and in many instances looks objectively worse than the PS2 originals.

    I don't know how we're living in a world where the remaster of Saints Row III got more attention than Grand Theft Auto. Rockstar are known for their obsessive attention to detail, to the point of overworking their developers on stupid stuff like horse balls. How the hell can they turn around and give their crown jewels to a company that does mobile ports and nothing else? Avoid this collection at all costs. It honestly would have been better if Rockstar had just thrown up lazy, emulated PS2 versions on Switch and called it a day.    … Expand

    This trilogy just sucks on switch. You can forgive the art style but it runs at a very low resolution, and never hits 30fps. I would say it hovers at 20fps-It's unplayable atm. Wait for an update! It's just a bad version, best I can say it.

    Esto me paso en el Gta Vice City:

    Muchas veces no cargan las texturas del mapa, tiene errores graficos
    Se traban los vehiculos en los arboles.
    Aveces se queda en la pantalla de carga.
    El personaje atraviesa el piso, etc.

    Y hoy se me corrompió la partida guardada, basicamente es el juego original con un mod de texturas pero sigue con los mismos fallos de siempre. No vale la pena.

    The Switch version of the game, has more awful downgraded graphics, and looks blurry, unlike my own PC version, i can blur a graphics a little bit and make custom config file to optimizing it and use Reshade graphics to sharpening graphics better than this Switch port.

    Most of the issues is also can be seen from the PC port i reviewed before aswell.

    This is nothing but a quick cash-grab from Rockstar. Heck, even the radio lacks some music from the original games (I know it is a copyright thing but combined with all the graphic abominations it all leads to no nostalgia whatsoever). And only $60?? I can't believe they actually have the audacity to spit on their long lasting fans and customers faces like this.

    These are all great games, some of the most influential AAA sandbox games of all time. I cannot in good conscience recommend you play this version, especially if you wanted to check out the Nintendo Switch version. It’s quite ironic that unnecessary and ugly visual overhauls make these ports of PS2 games almost unplayable on this system. I hate to be cynical, but I don’t think you could salvage these things without redesigning everything from the ground up. Grand Theft Auto deserved better, and you deserve better than to waste your money on this.

    In its current state, the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is only worth getting if you can get it at a large discount and assuming you’re willing to put up with many technical issues on Switch. While a lot of the major bugs I ran into have been addressed in patches, this is still nowhere near as good as it should be given how important these three games are to gaming in general. It also doesn’t help that the Switch patches are delayed compared to other platforms.
