Куплю остальные части по скидке. До выхода ремастера прошёл оригинальную часть. И знаете что - поиграйте в старые части и затем сразу в новую. Разница огромная. Графика, 60 fps на Series X. Модели персонажей не выбиваются из общего стиля. Красивые эффекты, отражения. Очень четкие текстуры. Большего и не ждал, видимо поэтому мне зашло! Оптимизацию думаю поправят. Но в режиме быстродействия и так все отлично. Баги бывают, но не критичные. P..S. Думаю все ждали ремейка с графикой как в GTA V, но ведь тогда нужно переделывать в корне 3 мира, а это огромные трудозатраты и продавали бы вам каждую за 60$. Пускай лучше все ресурсы тратят на GTA VI.
    Ремастер рекомендую, но только если у вас мощный комп или консоль.

    I don't quite understand the the low scores. this game is exactly what the community was asking for. I saw no glitches whatsoever and the game play felt miles better on console compared to my phone. so yeah If you like grand theft auto get this over gta unexpaned and unenhanced version

    This game is a masterpiece even though yeah a bit of a mess too with technical issues from the originals too it's should be renamed Grand Theft Awful Trilogy Tea Dark Elliance after all the ratings on PC+PS5+XSX also similar to 2021 DND Dark Alliance.

    A beautiful game that brought me back to my childhood. I felt the same way I felt 20 years ago. The graphics are just perfect! Even the old cheat codes remained. The gameplay is still the same. The only thing that's confusing is that the characters have a pretty fast run. This remake will deserve 10/10.

    10/10 it's that simple. 3 games in one disc is amazing... the mechanics on each game is fantastic, the graphics have improved dramatically, the physics of the player/character is cool, I've only encountered a problem once on the GTA San Andreas, other than that, I've not encountered a problem on the other 2 games... it's easily one of the best remasters I've ever played.

    GTA 3 is my #6 top game of all time! This is the game that started it all in 3d open world play. The game is really fun to go back to after many years away from it. It still holds up in 2021 as a playable experience. The missions are fun- and many are pretty short at the beginning. Several missions are pretty challenging.

The game is really fun to go back to after many years away from it. It still holds up in 2021 as a playable experience. The missions are fun- and many are pretty short at the beginning. Several missions are pretty challenging. Overall it’s great to cause havoc in Liberty City! The Definitive Edition has taken some hits for its initial state. I played it after patches- and I only saw one floating car & one floating lamp post. There were also some pretty wild looking pedestrians in the game. There were no other glitches that I experienced. I’m glad I bought this and played it again. I will definitely play it again sometime in the future.

    GTA Vice City Definitive Edition- 12/24/21

    GTA 3 is my #6 top game of all time! But I really debated between that & Vice City. This game is really my favorite GTA game. It’s aesthetics of the 1980s Miami are outstanding. It has my favorite soundtrack of any game ever. It also has perhaps the best voice cast of all time. It’s been a long time since I played it. Something that stood out is that the map is really quite small compared to today’s open world games. I can see why this was originally an expansion for GTA 3. But I love playing as Tommy Versetti. I really hope the rumors are true that GTA 6 might be partly set back in Vice City. I really didn’t see any glitches in the Definitive Edition- except some wild looking pedestrians. The only thing I don’t like about it is that you have to meet certain requirements to open up the last mission. I don’t like to have to grind just to be able to finish a game. Overall, it was a great experience to go back to. Definitely still enjoyable in 2021. I will play it again sometime in the future.

    Assim, a Rockstar não prometeu um grande avanço, mas eu até gostei em partes, só os personagens que estão feios, o mundo tá ok, embora tenha quedas de fps e muito pop up, no Series X tá até aceitável, meu ponto negativo ainda é o preço, ainda mais por esse serviço as pressas, mas me ganhou pela Nostalgia infelizmente.

    A GTA 3? Terrible. Removing the fog simply spoiled the experience an incredible amount. The game is too dark in a lot of places. And to that comes a lot of missing music and cheat code. But there are good moments in it, but they really drag the game down.

    A GTA Vice city? Personally, the best excitement of all. It restores the atmosphere of the old game. It's not worth talking about

    A GTA San Andreas? Well ... There are bad things in it. FOR EXAMPLE:
    Brown-skinned characters sometimes blend in with realistic lights. Respectively, the graffiti on the wall doesn't show up properly on the wall, but there was no problem. It also restored the old experience but there are confusing factors.

Most notably being the barrier on the map and kinda bad rain effects. These and the holes in parts of the maps. These bugs and some character models should be tuned, adjusted, and fixed, patched, etc., but this is still a fine way to experience the games. The upgraded targeting system is useful as all hell, but can be a bit wonky at times. The weapons wheel I find myself constantly using, which is a great edition from V, along with the radio wheel!

    In conclusion, is it worth the $60 USD price tag? No, it should be bumped down to at least $45 to $30. But this is still a fine way to experience the games for replay value, or for your first journey. Admittedly, it is a semi-disappointing port, but still good for first timers.

    The graphics in this trilogy look good in some places and just awful in others it is still fun to play its just not the definitive versions of the original gta trilogy everyone hoped for.

    The remaster is average at best, sure the environment looks fresh, but tons of visual issues, awful rain effect and lots of bugs (old and new) make it just not worth it. I would suggest either sticking to the original versions or waiting for patches (if they will happen at all).

    The cons: MANY. Downgraded textures, bro these models look more like fortnite characters than GTA characters. If you notice (Yes if you look closely, tbh it’s really obvious), most to all of the characters emotion and facial expressions have been removed, most the time they just sit there looking dumb and speaking with no purpose. Oh AND it runs horribly sometimes, like under 60 hell under 40fps horribly. But what do you expect, it’s a glorified smart phone game and everyone knows it. To add on, buying the new one is just buying the original with a load of errors. Full new game price for something that’s hardly better than the original games.
    Honestly, my score is a 4/10. Why? Because I get to replay the game, these games will never be BAD. No bad remaster can make them bad, they’re always going to be good games. People will always enjoy playing the stories to them, no matter how bad the remaster is.

    Unforgiveably bad, glorified ports of the mobile versions from 10 years ago with a slight lick of paint.

This is how Rockstar treats the much beloved and revered original 3D trilogy by handing the games off to a developer whom either didn't care or wasn't given the support and budget to produce something better. Riddled with bugs, graphical glitches and horrible character models that somehow look worse than their two decade old originals. The much touted GTA V design elements that were supposed to help modernise these games amount to nothing more than a weapon wheel and passable aiming. It takes a special kind of ineptitude to make 20 year old games running on a modern engine to perform so poorly on the latest generation of consoles. The fact Rockstar have the gall to charge £60 for this dumpster fire and call it a "Definitive Edition" is laughable and just outright insulting. These games deserved so much better. Fans of these games desrved better. The only reason this score isnt zero is because the original games are still fun to play. Shame on you Rockstar. Expand

    The good: improvements in lighting, shadows, vegetation, textures of environments and objects; addition of the GTA V weapons wheel.

    The bad: built on the smartphone versions, probably the worst versions of these games and retains bugs, glitches and questionable design choices from these versions; draw distance remains the same, but now without the fog. Result: when flying over Los Santos, you can see the other two cities in San Andreas, which creates the feeling of being in a small sandbox. In the other two games the feeling is even bigger. Not only that, but it also makes it more noticeable when objects that were previously in low polygons render right in front of you; facilitated minigames, removing the challenge from them (pool game, low rider battle, weight training); broken or missing animations (in any physical shape, whether thin, fat or muscular, CJ now always has the skinny animations); the "updated gameplay" is actually worse and less intuitive than the PS2 originals. Aiming is especially bad and NPCs get a glowing outline around their bodies when they're in your sights, much like a mobile game like Gangster City or other mobile GTA derivatives; Control mapping is not designed to cover all forms of locomotion. If you fix it for cars, it's bad for Hydra. Fix it for Hydra and it's bad for jetpack, etc.; chose to keep the cartoon art direction of the originals but the result, particularly as far as the character models are concerned, is something of a gigantic uncanny valley. With the exception of Claude, protagonist in GTA III, all other characters, including Claude himself in his appearance in GTA San Andreas, in addition to the other protagonists, minor characters and NPCs are not only weird-looking but less detailed compared side-by-side with the originals; aside from bugs in smartphone versions, it adds several new ones. From visuals to gameplay, in cutscenes and beyond; Terrible weather effects. Rain, for example, falls a layer behind the game's water, whether from rivers, lakes or ocean. That is, the raindrops "disappear" when they pass above the ocean from the player's point of view. Some players have reported headaches caused by looking at this rain effect for a long time. Clouds became JPEGs in a static sky, where before it was possible to go "inside" them while riding a Hydra, giving the feeling of high altitudes; the nitro of the cars doesn't do the increased motion blur effect, which used to bring a sense of speed; in GTA San Andreas, some weapons are as well detailed as the M4 rifle, while others like the AK47 are less detailed in the character's hand than those that adorn the interior of the Los Santos Police Station and, finally, the performance. The collection runs locked at 30 frames per second on 8th gen consoles and has frame drops even on high-end PCs or new gen consoles. GTA V is a game with much more information, textures and heavy effects to be read and has a much more stable performance within the same setup that struggles to maintain 60 frames in GTA The Trilogy.

    The summary: it's a trilogy that updates the graphics of the originals while maintaining fidelity to gameplay and art direction, though that means sacrificing improvements that would be welcome in these areas. It doesn't justify the price, nor the removal of originals from digital stores, as they are by no means worthy replacements.

To get a decent copy,Anyone who's worked in an office environment knows what happens when you lose the original copy of a document and have to make copies from an existing copy. Eventually you're making copies off of third or fourth level copies and the quality is severely degraded. Text is hard to read, margins are wavy, lines are crooked, there are marks on the page from copier issues. To get a decent copy, eventually you have to cut up the *least worst* portions of existing deformed copies and tape them to a piece of paper before running it through the copier again.

    That's what this Definitive Edition is. A third or fourth generation copy of the originals that they took parts from other versions and taped together before releasing it. In this case, the CORE of the game are the already bungled mobile ports from several years ago, NOT the original versions. They lifted pieces from the X360 and PS3 ports, the first Windows port, and the original version and cobbled them together with old tape and spit. And the shoddy quality shows.

    Deformed NPCs, missing textures, texture glitches everywhere, idiotic rain textures, removal of elements like fog, no optimization for consoles or PC with scaled down NPCs and foliage making the world feel dead, audio cutouts and pops, frame rate stutters and drops, and, of course, a good third of the soundtrack missing.

    This is a bolted together glorified mobile game they slapped on 4K next gen consoles with a handful of minor graphical modifications they didn't properly QA and yet they have issues properly running on all platforms including beefy top end PC's. There's no excuse for that beyond being a cash grab.

    Asking $60 for this is an absolute joke. Grove Street Games can say they're enjoying all the negative feedback and are listening as much as they want -- the game should have NEVER launched in this state, and I doubt a few patches will fix it. All three need MAJOR overhauls and no amount of patching will change the fact that the core of these games are ports of the mobile versions, not the originals themselves.

    I'm very disappointed to see what's become of Rockstar over the last decade. They went from a studio with multiple beloved IPs ranging from niche to widely popular to being able to only put out two actual games (GTA5, RDR2), and coast for 10 years by milking whales with GTAO Shark Cards and constant ports of GTA5 to 'new' consoles. We lost franchises like Bully, Midnight Club, Max Payne, and Manhunt for this version of Rockstar Games. Remember the days when Rockstar was like, "Screw it, we're going to test our new in-house graphics and physics engines by making and selling a Table Tennis game!"? Those were the days.

    Do not reward them with your money for this. I'm generously giving it a 2 because a 0 feels too much like hyperbole and the addition of the radio wheel was decent, at least...

    Be careful! Very poor quality. Do not be fooled by nastolgic feelings, do not support trash makers.

    On paper this was a sure-fire winner. In reality mistakes were made. It's got legacy bugs, new bugs and a whole lot of questionable decisions the length and breadth of the whole pacakge from graphics to performance.

    An absolutely shameful cashgrab of a remaster. Glitches, sloppy controls, really lousy automated environment art remastering. Three undeniably legendary games deserve better than this. Grove Street Games and Rockstar should be embarassed.

    Look at Forza Horizon 5. Now look at GTA: San Andreas. One of these games runs at a rock-solid 30fps in fidelity mode. One of them doesn't.

    Guess which one runs badly. That's right. San Andreas. If you don't have a VRR TV you're in for a very bad time. It also looks awful. Don't be fooled by the fancy it looks exactly what it is - a 17-year-old game with SSR and a new lighting.

    I'm only glad that they put this on GamePass so I didn't have to shell out £55 for this absolute dumpster fire. What happened to you, Rockstar? You used to be cool.

    Three important video games remastered without passion and care, affected by bugs and crashes: a missed opportunity.

    GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition brings all the fun of the classic games of the series that has always seen its career rise. However, it shows a hard fall with this remaster due to a lack of work in its execution.

    This comeback of the three GTA classics feels superficial and poorly optimized, although some improvements are clearly visible. It's not the remaster we were hoping for, but these are still immortal classics that can still entertain and sometimes even amaze. And sometimes that's all we need.
