[@MuseBySecrecy]

The game was developed foremost for the original Xbox, with bloom effects and shaders and the such unavailable for the PS2. The iconic orange haze is actually the result of a glitch. Probably the best looking glitch of all time.

[@fredster594]

[@MuseBySecrecy]

@@fredster594 Yeah, go take a look at the original Xbox version. It’s more blue skies and less sunrise. Los Santos looks quite different. The Xbox versions of GTA III and Vice City came out a while after the PS2 ones. They redid the character models and car models. Improved shadows and textures. All kinds of stuff. Similar to how they rereleased GTA V on next gen.

I don't think the HD universe and the 3D universe can be directly compared. Both had their own strengths and weaknesses. Although I do hope GTA VI does have more side activity, especially the kind that actually gives you some money, on top of having things to use that money on. The biggest flaw in the HD universe is the lack of a proper gameplay loop of getting money and buying weapons, and losing them after you die or get arrested.
