I totally appreciate Rockstar for not abandoning this version of the trilogy but the broken launch should NOT have happened in the first place. If the game is not finished, you delay it. No excuses, no shenanigans.
It wasn’t rockstar games that made it though. Grove street games did and anyone who’s even played the mobile release 10 years ago knows they were just bad when it came to working on it. It’s still on rockstar for not checking them for QA. It took a mainstream PR nightmare of the DE trilogy for them to realize they weren’t good to work with so now they finally dropped them. They didn’t make the game but they 100% didn’t check on grove street games when developing it
If it's greedy to try to make as much profit as possible, then every person with a job is terrible. That being said, as long as the money is going to the right places, fine by me (GTA 6 budget?). All I can say is don't expect too high on whatever R* makes anymore. They aren't any less greedy than they were back in the 2000s. Like you remember how big the quantity of games there were? They did that to maximize profits, the same they did online. Only difference is some of the people who wrote the stories were better
Wasn't rockstar that made the game. It was Grove Street Games. And the fact they looked at this game and decided it's good tells me why Rockstar dropped them and fixed their mistakes. Adding the classic lighting changes was very well done by Rockstar themselves. Somehow GSG couldn't do that
@@Fusion710womp womp cry about it the new update looks so fucking good the lights are so nostalgic and good looking and all bugs have been fixed the game have become just as good as the original you’re just a loser if you think the new update is not good
I don't think that the issue is anything about rushing it, but rather the devs themselves. They never cares about the original lighting, otherwise they'd have implemented it on their first remaster version of the game which released on xbox 360 and mobile
@@Fusion710Actually questionable if you're on say PS5 or PC. The original games do not play nice with a PC, you really gotta patch it up with community patches like SilentPatch, WidescreenFix, etc. The Definitive Edition now can be played without any patching required.

@@amazing.yt7 If you're playing these games on a phone, do yourself a favor and get yourself a controller of some sort (with two sticks and, importantly, analog triggers). Your enjoyment of any 3D game that supports controllers will skyrocket. It's also essential for emulation, which basically turns your phone into a microtransaction-free gaming device that can play games from many decades of gaming (depending on how powerful it is). On fast enough phones, you can even just straight up emulate the PS2 versions of these games, for example. Even mid-range phones from a few years ago can handle PSP emulation, which allows you to play the best version of GTA Chinatown Wars, as well as Liberty City and Vice City stories - don't forget to patch them for dual-analog controls. I can recommend the Razer Kishi, which is high quality and small enough to keep in a pants pocket, but larger hands might get a little cramped if you're playing for hours. An ergonomically better solution is to use a full-size controller with a clamp that holds your phone - but this takes up more space. This makes more sense if you're taking a bag with you everywhere. The middle ground is a small controller from the likes of 8bitdo (super high quality) with a controller clamp (or without it). My old FC30Pro is so small, it fits into the pouch I got for my tiny first Android phone in 2010.
Wow, i thought Rockstar would just leave these games for dead, but im glad they moved away from GroveStreet games and took it upon themselves to start patching these games ones and for all.

The biggest mistake Rockstar made was assigning this project to the inexperienced developers at Grove Street Games. They ruined the game and tarnished Rockstar’s reputation, leaving Rockstar to clean up the mess and deal with the embarrassment.
Now they just gotta make the textures higher res on the buildings and make the models good and we got a pretty good game. This is too much to ask for but would be nice if they made claude have expressions in the de and also make him and tommy more like their original models.
As long as de does add extra new content or features that the original doesn't have like the weapon and radio wheels, the navigation thing Then those things are sad but don't matter as much
Now, all they need is to add the PS2 / XBOX objects/maps to make it even more faithful remaster (the PC and mobile port of the game is missing some structures that was originally in the PS2/xbox version such as the structure around the dragon casino, fence around the basketball field in los santos, etc)

Thanks to this update, little by little the game is looking as it should always have, beautiful, modern and with the classic touch of Grand Theft Auto. Will you do the same with GTA III & GTA VC?
@@GastonepiselloneGTA3 needs some features from other games like the ability to jump out of moving vehicles, crouch even while walking, and when going in safe houses you see the interiors from LCS.
The Classic Lighting really made me wanna forgive this game, cuz i at the first place i really hate the lighting, sometime too bright, sometime too dark, like the Sun got replaced with WR 102.
Alot of ppl been saying the trilogy sucked. But i been having fun on it (brings me back to my highschool days) last time i played was a week ago so this update wasn't available yet gonna check it out 😁
Have they fixed the face models yet? When it came out, they looked almost like claymation while the original looked like real people, just with low fidelity graphics.
I wish they would have added a mission Reply feature to the update And I want them to nerf the Leone Family Mafiosos shotgun power near saint Mark’s Bistro
Now that a true definitive edition😁 Edit: Maybe Rockstar was not very patient and did not focus enough on making the initial version and caused many bugs.
I appreciate that Grove Street Games was a tiny studio given a big task of importing these games into Unreal 4 in a way that worked, but... ...Was the lighting and fog REALLY that hard to include?
Too bad that the classic lighting also removes some of the newer effects like volumetric clouds and godrays on lamp posts, cos these look good on their own and could look dope with the original color palette
Just launched the game yesterday after the update (I bought the game but never played more than the intro) and the difference was immediately apparent. Like holy shit, it really showed how bad the original release looked
If they eventually make this game what it should have been since the first release (because there is still some things to improve) i'd love to see a remaster of the 2 stories games and gta4🤤
The biggest problem for me, even in trailers, was the cartoon look that still isn’t fixed. Is there no mod that can bring the OG characters styles into this?
You can see that these games weren't tested before release (or they were but none of the errors were found, or they were found but the devs had not time or were to lazy to fix them)
The army vehicles in san andreas are still not the tan colour they should be, the humvee like vehicle is bright green, and the barracks is red, you can get a community fix though on nexus mods, it's called nighthawk's carcol fix.
I'm pretty sure they will fix this and more bugs in future updates They didn't hire new developers for just this one update they will probably go all the way and fix almost all the glitches... Hopefully
How long until we get gaslit into saying “the remaster was never broken I enjoyed it since day one”? Took Cyberpunk fans about a month, think GTA fanboys can beat that?
I still hope they fix the texture LOD. It's pretty ugly flying around the map, even with the fog, because the textures keep loading at the same distance as in the original games
How is that there is even LOD to begin with it? Let alone worse LOD than the OGs? Even a low end modern PC should be able to render an entire PS2 world map at once instantly.
Now if they would make a sample version that looks much more realistic graphics and something else a little if they would remaster the characters a little better done it should and it would be perfect
All I wanted most was a remaster of GTA IV... If they can make a 2004 game look so good graphically, imagine what they could do about GTA IV They should make a remaster of it than releasing all that GTA V's updates shit
