GTA Trilogy: Definitive Edition vs Original (Easter Eggs Comparison)

[@FunWithGuru]

*The more disappointed I got with these games, the less motivated I was to make this, so I’m sorry if you can notice that in the video.* GTA holds some of my earliest easter egg memories, and so being able to revisit them with a new coat of paint sounded amazing. Although I like some of the changes made in these remasters (environments, weapon wheel, etc), there are so many baffling decisions made here. I could go on and on about this... but I won't. Anyway, I didn't cover a lot of easter eggs because a lot of them were barely changed from the original. I just focused on what I thought was worth showing. I still hope you enjoy the video, and thanks for watching!

[@stoopidmonkey9100]

Am I the only one who loves these remasters? Look, I played all three back in the day, loved them. I'm not a purist by any means, so I think that's what allows me to enjoy them. I'm on pc (3060 ti/ i7 9700k) and I can tell you performance is silky smooth (provided you launch the games on dx12). I've played San Andreas about 10 hours, and haven't seen any glitch or bug to note. I LOVE the lighting, and don't have any problems with character models whatsoever. I don't know, I don't consider myself a completely tasteless person, what can I say.

its odd what stuff they DID bother to give some detail to compared to EVERYTHING else. also i heard what the deal is with the many typos and mess ups, its a bit of automation. they supposedly had an AI-learned auto-text-updater to deal with all the words in the game as getting ALL of those textures updated for ALL 3 games in the time frame they had would take a colossal amount of time, so it was automated and it has actually pretty decent results knowing that now. otherwise yeah, we got a good few typos since the machine clearly wasnt sure what some letters were supposed to be. then there is the doughnut building where the hex nut on the building was changed to a circle. that one is a bit confusing so far as somebody showed the type of program used to auto smooth out jagged polygon models and posited the theory that they may have just throw just about EVERY round environment model in there to make it looks smoother. then there is the issue with that theory where somebody pointed that the "auto smoother" could not have been used alone as the nut still had its flat sides, if the program alone was used then it would look like a little grey doughnut. meaning some specific effort had to be put into making sure it kept its general shape, while nobody stopped to think about the original shape of the object not needing to be changed. in other words the games are kind of a clusterfuck!
