I'm really hoping for a complete remake before the end of this console generation. Like what Motive did with Dead Space. But remakes really aren't Rockstars style.

[@jdwavvvves]

I always say Ballad Of Gay Tony is the most perfect GTA game if it were longer

[@Euro.Patriot]

@@imonit1177 No, it's not Rockstar's thing, they can get them made but they suck dirty ass.

[@imonit1177]

@Slavic Aussie If you are referring to the remaster collection, I thought they were fine. It was exactly what I expected it to be. The original game with better lighting and textures in a higher resolution. Those games are what the originals were. It was a remaster, not a remake. I don't think Rockstar has ever actually remade one of their games. But from the ground up remakes are basically what all of Rockstars 7th gen games deserve. GTA IV, RDR1, and Bully, respectively. I'm not holding my breath on Bully because we don't live in a world that appreciates that kind of humor anymore. But the other ones need to be done. Especially the original RDR. That game is at a high risk of being lost to time because it's not even available on p.c. through legitimate distribution. Which is a shame because the 7th gen was peak Rockstar.

[@Josh23761]

This movie would've been epic, one of the best of all time. 90s and 2000s crime films are peak cinema imo.

[@themadtitan7603]

The early 2000s films is a fitting theme for GTA IV because despite releasing in 2008, its world and story always felt closer to 2003-2005 with all the flip and cell phones and older cars than the late 2000s imo.

[@chibiromano5631]

no, it was closer to 2007-2012 recession era new york. Even Ballad of GT & Lost feel like that same era. The music also indicates this. Radio Broker in 2002 would have been filled with tracks by the Strokes, but in Radio Broker 2008 it sounded like LCD Soundsystem & the Rapture , Black Keys. I mean the main trailer for GTA 4 was Arms in Arms by Boggs and that perfectly sums up recession era Brooklyn ( 2007-2012). But also films like Simon Killer(2011), Twelve(2010), Eastern Promises( 2007) are much closer to GTA 2008 era than GTA of 2003. You see 2003 tech because it was recycled tech from Roman given to immigrant nico.

[@187Blondie]

@@chibiromano5631 it released in 08, it predates the recession era

[@chibiromano5631]

@@187Blondie The game actually talks about a recession, even one of the radio station talks about the markets falling and people losing jobs. There is one scene with Nico & Roman where they talk about a recession. The great recession is listed as 2007-2009. Even in 2007 mortage defaults were happening and fannie mae warning all that a recession was coming. It still was that era. 2007-2010 had a recession era vibe.
