Is the Grand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogy Worth It in 2024?

[@saintgtx]

@@Joseonhangukeo351 No. These jackasses that recommend "just getting the normal trilogy" fail to understand that you either need original hardware (PS2/OG Xbox), or you need to have bought the original trilogy on Steam. The problem with that, is that Rockstar pulled the OG trilogy from all storefronts when the definitive edition came out.

[@allstargaming2500]

the netflix version is just way better, it has exclusive fixes that were plaguing these games since the 10th anniversary releases. Pls cover it as you would be surprised to see that Video Games Deluxe did things that were never intended by GSG. The super sprint(sprint faster by repeatedly tapping) and the original bicycle controls are back. The awful lack of lighting in cutscenes is now fixed. Swimming speed and physics have been restored. All in all if these fixes made their way to the PC version, then it will be a worthwhile experience. However even after that it would not be worth the full price though.

[@therandom_dude]

Only one problem though, the Netflix version is only available for mobile devices 😢

[@BigBaldBassist]

The game is well worth it for me. I'm not fussed about the graphics and didn't experience the bugs that others did. I just wanted my childhood games in one place and portable, which I got for Nintendo Switch. I know I might be the odd one out for saying it, but it's worth it for me.

Worst thing for each remastered game: GTA III - Still never fixed the Portland gangs trying to massacre Claude, especially from the Leone family. GTA Vice City - Cars move way too fast, like every vehicle is on 2x speed. GTA San Andreas - Lack of clouds, dust and haze in the air makes the map look way too small.

[@woodsie315]

I just want the original console versions, with 4k resolution, pop ins eliminated, a thoughtful but not excessive render distance increase and both classic and modern control options. That's it. I like the original art style and effects and hate to see it replaced in the remastered edition. One of my favorite recent remasters was that old PC game Star Wars: Dark Forces. They did redo the textures but it was such a faithful recreation that you can't tell unless you go back and look at the old game side by side. None of the original vibe was lost. The remaster is like playing the game through nostalgia goggles which is EXACTLY how a remaster should be in my opinion.

[@darknid158]

I like it on switch. There’s some bugs here and there but luckily the auto save feature makes it a bit more bearable.

Played through the OGs recently since I still have them on Steam. Immediately followed them up with their respective DE versions. And DE is significantly better. And I grew up with the OGs.

[@kornweed]

7:13 What also makes these versions so bad too and didn't make it any easier for the dev team is the fact that they were a port of a port of a port, the original games were made with RenderWare but eventually they wanted to remaster these games for Mobile phones and Xbox 360 at some point which used Unity instead of RenderWare which caused many many various issues from the Engine change and broke many things as is, and to add more to that these new versions from what I've heard (can't confirm) were using the awful Unity remaster ports instead from Mobile and Xbox 360, which I'm sure didn't help whatsoever and only caused more issues to the botched Defective edition- but again it's been awhile since I saw and heard about this so I could be wrong about some parts (this could be just GTA SA only as well but I wouldn't doubt the others had this treatment too) but I believe that is what happened- and having this small team with this short amount of time was definitely an impossible task for 3 botched games-

[@ArchiWorldRuS]

Nah, Unity had never been used to be a base engine for GTA 3D. Maybe they had that in their minds or tried some closed alpha versions but that's it

[@kornweed]

@@ArchiWorldRuS ah, well they either used that or RAGE one or the other but those HD ports and definitive editions are awful all around Rockstar didn't have the rights to RenderWare when they wanted to make an HD port, so the games were botched without it

[@bobtailsquid]

@@daveyboyd784 primarily when you take over gang areas sometimes the enemies literally run away like way outside of the zone blocks away also it's like it expects the draw distance to be lower so beyond a certain point they don't react. Is particularly noticeable like on the military ship or in the military base with the stairs. But more so when I complain about the AI and referring to the gang members you can recruit. They are pretty stupid lack behind and only one can get in the car at each time it's like they have to wait for one to open a door and get in before the other can.
