[@imnotvego]

I believe that the fact that the creators of DirectX 3.0 don't have access to the game's source code makes it very difficult to get better results compared to Definitive Edition, I realized that most of the effects in DirectX 3. 0 are calculated from what appears on the screen, which is why shadows disappear depending on the angle of the camera, inaccurate reflections and so on (with the exception of clouds and the atmosphere of the world), while DE is a more modern engine and uses other more "precise" calculations, but this graphics mod has in fact managed to overcome many of DE's problems and on some occasions has even been better for sure, I must say that the DirectX 3. 0 people are doing a good job, as this is a mod, people can combine this with other mods for corrections, such as draw distance, greater vegetation, physics and so on.

[@J0rdan912]

@@mergin3315 And this is weird considering that a lot of stuff in Definitive Edition are actually great. Feels like development was rushed and unfinished, or divided among different teams with different skill level, and lacked of quality control at the end. Also people never realize that developers of those remasters are usually very limited in resources and time, big companies usually just dropping it on some hired 3rd party or internal small team and giving them no source code, strict deadline in like 6 months and average salary. While fans can take whatever help, time, tools and materials they want without copyrights or publisher restrictions, sometimes even illegally obtained source code or reverse engineering, and they don't care if it will crash every 5 minutes and not supported on consoles.

I find it crazy though that in the comparison at the end, at 13:00 you can see how DX3.0 looks waaay better while driving up the hill, but then as soon as the right turn happens and the trees come into view, DE just plain wins with the huge contrast and light getting blocked out while DX3.0 just looks flat. And then we pop into the next clip and DX3.0 looks better again, the tone just creates such an atmosphere while DE just looks like some shitty dirt rally knockoff. They need to hire the DX3.0 guys and just fix everything up together

[@mrskomps]

honestly I like this video a lot. the unbiased decisions and comparisons between the 2 games makes it way more enjoyable to watch than instead of purely hating on the definitive edition and praising the direct x 3.0, stating they both have flaws and benefits. Bravo

[@AquDrIFT]

I'm surprised, because every video so far has been a circlejerk of "REEEEE DEFECTIVE EDITION". The DE has a lot of flaws, but it also does some things exceptionally well, things that no mods can achieve. As proven by this video, nights look great, interiors look great, textures look mostly better than mods... Perfect mod would be to add the volumetric clouds, the weather and the water (with the amazing fog in the distance) to the DE.

[@Maske4]

​@@AquDrIFT it's not just "Omg defective edition haha", it's pointing out that a single guy in a random morning with some coffee in his PC can perform better in a 2004 version of the game that a group of developers hired by a AAA company evaluated in billions of dollars. This is the way we can make fun of them and make them understand that their 60$ mess of a "definitive" edition is shit. Take for example the volumetric clouds, Why couldn't Grove Street Games add them before SA_DIRECTX developers, but some modder did and make it look fantasticaly good? i know that the MOD version has its flaws because, well, its a guy, but he can do a LOOOOT better by himself that AAA developers with billions of dollars in their hands.

Good thing that you compare both of them fairly, showing what's wrong with DirectX and all that.

@@shadowking773 It's a heavily modded version of UE3. Also UE3 is still a more modern engine than Renderware. Also don't forget all modern Mortal Kombat games were UE3 until the most recent game

[@AndrewVasirov]

The reason why the shadows disappear when you turn the camera is because the buildings themselves are likely unrendered. Like any old game lol. You can also notice the same thing happening with buildings unrendering behind other buildings. It works a bit like in CS:GO I think.

[@tommegg8486]

My suspect is that the mod use screen space to calculate graphic element. Basically like reshade. Once the element is out of screen, the mod no longer knows what's behind the camera

[@JaseHDX]

modern games still derender off screen shit, its called frustrum culling

[@ardentanalyst2076]

My personal opinion: Reflections, shadows and lighting in the daytime: directx 3.0 Night time, textures (like vegetation, buildings, characters and city objects): DE Performance: DE Water quality: DIrectX 3.0 Road textures and night shadows: DE Weather system: Both depending on certain weather conditions Vehicle models: Very difficult to decide so I'd say both altho Directx 3.0 has an upper hand cuz of how polished it looks, DE has more texture but it lacks realism and looks cartoonish

[@preetarora6878]

12:20 Maybe this is because there are no mirrors, they are like square holes in the wall and since this mod is still in beta, the creator has created a temporary room high in the sky and our characters teleport from the mainland to the interior. Thats why we see blue sky and clouds(ig,99% chance that I'm wrong)

[@rrxbt]

Those rooms/interiors (most of them) always have been either high in the sky or very low under the map in the original game, when you enter these rooms, you just teleport to them. About the mirrors, I think the mod doesn't support them, as mirrors are extremely hard to program, from my little knowledge, I think the original game rendered a second perfectly mirrored room to simulate the effect of the mirror but only really "reflected" dynamic objects like CJ or the peds.

If the problem with the DE was only the graphics (almost every weather and character models) I'd be willing to forgive it, as I really enjoyed the godrays while riding through countryside and the light effects during night time. Unfortunately, we all here know that's not its biggest problem. The game is not only an obvious cashgrab, but it's full of bugs, performance problems and things made by lazy developers who thought no one would notice that almost every texture was being made through an AI. And I mean, the AI is not the problem, but their lazyness to not even check the textures in the output and puting them into the game as soon as they were processed. That, and the ridiculous $60 price, is what hurts the most with the DE.

[@Malfurionxtc]

Well, since each of games has its advantages, i guess best results could be by using definitive edition, with tons of mods to reach directx 3.0 benefits... otherwise DX 3.0 has a lot of problems still, like mirrors, interior lightning, night lightning etc, kinda ruins the feeling more than DE bad rain, or water...

[@J0rdan912]

It's all great and fun, but old ass obsolete San Andreas engine is so limited and PC port is broken from the start, that even mods can't fix a lot of things that were actually fixed and improved in Definitive Edition. However, while some stuff is absolutely stunning in Definitive Edition and almost on the level of GTA 5 (if not better), the other half is very lazy and not using Unreal Engine 4 capabilities. This is shame that we can't get a fully fixed and improved game by modders and at the same time Rockstar really dropped the ball to make an actually definitive version on modern engine.

ultimate comparison would be sa dx3.0 vs definitive with the best mods made by the community to see if can be closer to each other 🤔

Mods have cons bro , at the end its ENB so u can't expect too much from a Mod. Basically the game engine of gta sa is outdated so it's DE simply beats 3.0 mod in night lights shadows , vegetation and more . That's why it's necessary to port engines if u really wanna have a perfect remaster .
