Forget a Remake, If Rockstar's team had remastered the thing in RAGE engine instead of Unreal, The Graphics and nodels would be more consistent(No Thicc tommy and Sims Kendl) and the details would be better. The studio which made this (Grove Street Games) is a MUCH smaller studio, Has much less experience, and hence they cannot compare to Rockstar's Studios. They've done a great job, don't get me wrong, but A Rockstar Studio would have done a better job. If I had it my way, Rockstar should have released GTA 6 in 2023 or 2025, and then added GTA 3, VC and SA as DLC in that engine. And kept the originals as they were. Truth is, GTA 3 and VC are too Old to be simply "Remastered/Soft-remade" without updating the Anims, Adding ragdoll, and maybe even adding cover and free-aim drive-by mechanics.
0:43 what? i know for a fact, that NPCs react if you aim at them in the PS2 version of the game, so this is not a new change, its just the pc that screwed this up due to the freeaim system
@@krimsonk-9478 Something I love about the definitive edition is that the cars no longer stutter in animations or have the back end 'wiggle'. These issues I think were specific to PC due to playing at different framerates with VSync off. :) Credit where it's due though, they've kept the physics pretty faithful considering they moved the whole game to Unreal Engine. That's quite a challenge.
I wish they remade these in a different engine just like Mafia 1. Especially San Andreas, one of the best games ever made…deserved better than just a texture pack!
It is in s different engine they made this in unreal, the og's were in the "render" engine or something. Doesnt matter they didnt take advantage of any extra physics or anything cool
Fuck the different engine loser. ( Which Gta DE definitely has ). Mafia 1 looks NOTHING like the original game. They should have called it something else because this was a different game, not the long awaited remaster. Fucking kids don't get it, fuck off on roblox loser

Here's my take on the trilogy, its a re-release of Mobile ports of the 3D GTA games with better graphics and not the actual PS2 version, this is evident from the camera positioning , in-game text and lots of the same bugs in the Android/iOS version of the games being carried over to the definitive edition. Rockstar clearly didn't Play-test the remasters enough and just focused on the visuals, increasing the texture resolution and ploy counts on models , and in some instances yeah they do look good. Vice city Especially looks the best in the trilogy, but in other cases they killed the vibe of the games , like in GTA3 now it doesn't look gloomy and dull and yeah that's an artistic choice but its what made the games unique for me, and getting rid of the fog ,up-ing the draw distance and removing the orangish blue hue from San Andreas makes it look entirely something else although whether or not its a good thing that's subjective.
I don’t think this shiny, sterile aesthetic is an ‘artistic choice’. There’s no artistry involved in just picking the stock settings in the Unreal Engine with zero respect to the vibe the originals were going for (especially in the case with GTA3). The whole thing just looks like some fan-made asset flip.
draw distance in gta3 and VC was great and high almost like the remastered. i hated the SA short as heck draw distance. Couldn't even see buildings from ganton. It does make SA feel smaller but i still prefer the high dd. and you only feel the smallness when high in the sky or on top of LS buildings

Actually the NPCs reacted when you pointed guns at them in the original version as well when using the automatic aim (in consoles or in PC by changing the settings)
NPCs will in fact react to you aiming at them in the original. The problem is you used what is obviously a GTA San Andreas-based aiming mod rather than the "Classic" control's autoaim (which is more faithful to the gamepad control scheme in the original PS2 version). GTA 3 has exactly the same control options.
lol every game comes with bugs and glitches. some of them might not get fixed and might stay in the game, but no need to cry. this game is perfectly playable except I heard some bad things about GTA 3 and that they spent the least amount of time on that one. they will probably fix that in an update. and then there's this guy saying "don't hope anything from rockstar" bla bla bla dude go cry somewhere else

They could've reused assets from GTA 4/5, like animations, the physics, even some textures and NPC AI aspects. Also, before you complain about the engine scalability and portability, there are assets that can be ported. The entire GTA 3D Trilogy was made on the Renderwave engine and they did carry across the same assets to Unreal. This simply goes to show the lack of support & confidence from R* and 2K in this game's development. Ports like Isolation (on the f'ing Switch) have seen an performance/graphical improvement over their original counterparts due to the dev's support. These "remasters" feel like open world mobile games like Gangstar and that other andriod market crap. MasterChief Collection, Nsane Trilogy, ResE Remastered, WindWaker, etc were all remasters - How much of the game is reworked entirely depends on how much the developers and publishers care about the game. In an industry where we have games like 'No man's sky', I don't understand how people can even make excuses on behalf of companies that don't feel obligated to release gameplay or reviews before releasing a game and making it available for pre-orders.
@@NeoDeXs Nope. They used GTA V styled cosmetic changes in the maps, the weapon wheels and certain control schemes. Not the same thing. What they did was a bastardised window dressing. It made a lot of the existing experience much worse. A reused asset has a 1:1 correlation between the OG and it's repackaging. If GTA V animation loops or code would be used on NPCs, they'd act like GTA V NPCs with GTA III skins. Fallout New Vegas reuses assets from Fallout III. You can see how similar animation, AI and textures are. Even Hitman Absolution used assets from Hitman Blood Money. It's not lazy, if you do it right. Devs do it all the time. It just brings across ideas and visuals that work and updates them. GTA Remaster is an insult to any game remaster. I don't blame the studio behind it. They're small and probably didn't have the time and resources. R* and 2K however are absolute greedy invertebrates that can't give a semi-fuck about the games who's shoulders they stand on. It's absolutely disgraceful. And I'm sure the successful sales will probably cement shit like this into the game development zeitgeist. These pattern are so obvious. *Edit:* Those cumsuckling vampires at Ubisoft were trying to do the same with their POP remake. Where they gave away the project to a small studio with no experience to save up on the money and cash-in on the nostalgia. Ofcourse they didn't have nearly as much audacity as R* and 2K since that game seems to have vanished for good.
If they did this, another set of people will complain. People just don't know what they want. Also the trilogy will also be released on phones. That's gonna be interesting to see when it's released
@@FilipCordas sometimes the graphics look nice, the promlem is the art direction. The remaster looks like the Lego version of vice city which if they were going for that would of been funny...
You’ve taken the time to put together a very interesting and informative video here mate when everyone else is divided on this game. The original still stands as my favourite game of all time even now with the release of another generation of games. Thanks for this
Its a good nostalgic trip, but the price is too much for what it is. And there are a lot of bugs that were not presented back in the day. I think they got help and consultation from Blizzard how to do the remasters...
Most people, and especially younger gamers will still think gta trilogy looks dated, but personally this is exactly what I wanted to see, meaning old mechanics just with much better graphics.
@@XORevolveOX Except the game is $20, so it’s not bad for that price. Original PS2 versions also routinely sell for around $15-$25, so this is also on par. The issue is people wanting this to be a AAA next gen title, and in reality it’s a 20+ year old game.
@@ortiz5922 Sure there are some imperfections, but these are meaningless details. Overall GTA trilogy looks amazing compared to the original games, at least that's my personal impression.
What people don't understand is, that the trilogy is a 3d universe, it's different to HD universe of gta 4 and 5. The remaster is supposed to be like this, for the aesthetic and game's old art but rendered to better resolution and effects for the latest hardware and peripherals. The people wanted the remaster to be hyper realistic like most recent games, which struggles to be unique.
They could’ve, but that would’ve taken a long time to produce and it would’ve been way too expensive. And they would not make a profit, so this is what we got.
My favorite GTA is GTA 3. Bought it for the Definitive Edition for the PS4 and that game alone crashed on me 4 times in a row already! Big OOF! When it rains it's like a damn monsoon and you can barely see or drive in it! Not to mention completing the mission 'Turismo' for El Burro while it's raining and driving the Banshee. Do to its' lightweight, speed, and handling I failed that mission over 8 times till I tested almost every fast car I could think of. Eventually, I found out that the most balanced car for that race or any races, is the Mafia Sentinel. Handles like a dream even while it's raining.
Feeling pity for them who just finished demolition man mission in definite edition and then just went in the water to test whether tommy can swim or not😂😂
@@denimchicken104 You can tell hes an idiot by the way he writes. "the graphics looks amazing than what i've expected" That is bordering on illiterate.
I’ve been playing the hell out of GTA III and it’s harder than I remember. Modern gaming has made me soft haha. Them old school games did NOT hold your hand.
These remasters are a perfect example of how poor art direction can destroy the atmosphere you're creating. The reason the 2nd game looks great while the 1st and 3rd don't is because the new, bright visuals really work for the colorful and vibrant Vice City, but not the dingy, grimy Liberty City and especially not the washed out, hazy San Andreas.
What rockstar games/grove street games needs to fix to make the DEs playable: 1-restore the fog in gta 3,sa (modded) 2-bring back the orange atmosphere of old sa back,bring back the dark atmosphere of old gta 3 back 3-fix the bugs and glitches 4-fix the new trash physics of gta sa DE 5-fix the new trash rain (modded) And thats it, now if They did all that and lowered the price for maybe 20 dollars for each game not 60 for all games bec. not every single person wants to buys all the three then this remastered trilogy will be playable.
Love to see more videos of this before I make my decision wether to buy these games all over again. Thanks for putting this together. Loved seeing the weird glitches lol
I am defo let down by this "definitive edition" (£54.99) it seems like a quick money grab tbh and I have seen much better from the community modders, big up to them keeping gaming alive. 🙌 💚
Something that I miss of this game is the dew effect on the screen when it was raining, bump a hydrant or use the chainsaw over somebody. They didn't use it nevermore in other games after Vice City.
The definitive edition weather while looks great looks far less.. atmospheric/immersive, you can see in the old one when raining or cloudy the grass looks darker while in the definitive edition for some reason still maintain that sunny level green grass.
@@DaP84 the rain of the definitive edition is worse than the rain of games from a single mobile developer, I'll give an example the rain of The Street King, the streets look MUCH wetter than that of the Definitive edition, it has lightning and they light a lot, it has a GTA San Andreas level fog in the rain, that really gives the strong rain weather different from Definitive.
they actually added some good small details, im sorta surprised, i always thought its just an official graphics mod xD sadly the news paper or some trash on the road detail got removed..
0:53 this is free aim on PC (free aim on ps2 only applies to some guns like the M4 or mini 14), automatic aim on ps2 version prompt a response from npcs
One word ...Disappointed, so much promise ,so much nostalgia ,so much potential, wasted...and I think the modders made it come real a long time ago. And to be honest, that was better than this to some extent.
The game looks amazing in my opinion but Rockstar, now being more of a soulless corporation, have ruined it, taking the og games off sale and replacing it with a £60 game.
1:16 who said they can’t react You have to use a gamepad/controller And aim at NPCs or Cops NPCS will run away like 1:08 or flip of like 1:22 And aiming at Cops Will shoot like 1:36 also you will get wanted level (You should try it in Vice city origin)
Vice City is the only one of the three, I would play before modding blows up. GTA 3 should be played with mods that restore that gritty dark feel to the city. San Andreas...has ALOT of problems that need to be solved ALOT Also if you are on pc do yourself a favor and get the rain fix mods asap
I’ve been playing them this last few days, after nearly 15 years of playing them for the last time. And I gotta admit I am having a really good time, enjoying the shit out of the games. Things only people who played it back then will understand. I agree that they could have put more effort into some things, but hope we get some updates to fix them…

Please do a part2. The bullets take a lot more damage from Tommy when hit. The explosions have a wider blast area. You can't use rudder steering controls on the RC planes/helicopters. You can now drive through the mansion doors and keep your car. There are more interiors to buildings. You cannot rotate the turret on the tanks (for that extra boost).

Fallout New Vegas reuses assets from Fallout III. You can see how similar animation, AI and textures are. Even Hitman Absolution used assets from Hitman Blood Money. It's not lazy, if you do it right. Devs do it all the time. It just brings across ideas and visuals that work and updates them.
GTA Remaster is an insult to any game remaster. I don't blame the studio behind it. They're small and probably didn't have the time and resources. R* and 2K however are absolute greedy invertebrates that can't give a semi-fuck about the games who's shoulders they stand on. It's absolutely disgraceful. And I'm sure the successful sales will probably cement shit like this into the game development zeitgeist. These pattern are so obvious.
*Edit:* Those cumsuckling vampires at Ubisoft were trying to do the same with their POP remake. Where they gave away the project to a small studio with no experience to save up on the money and cash-in on the nostalgia. Ofcourse they didn't have nearly as much audacity as R* and 2K since that game seems to have vanished for good.
If they did this, another set of people will complain. People just don't know what they want.
Also the trilogy will also be released on phones. That's gonna be interesting to see when it's released

I was excited when this was announced, but Rockstar dropped the ball so hard
they should call it GTA reforged, at last Warcraft made it so you could turn off the terrible new graphics.
@@FilipCordas sometimes the graphics look nice, the promlem is the art direction. The remaster looks like the Lego version of vice city which if they were going for that would of been funny...

@@HypeXGTA you have to take into account that the game runs on an almost 20-year-old engine lmao
I think there should be a mode tho for those who actually want a more realistic experience, like ragdoll physics.

You’ve taken the time to put together a very interesting and informative video here mate when everyone else is divided on this game. The original still stands as my favourite game of all time even now with the release of another generation of games. Thanks for this
Its a good nostalgic trip, but the price is too much for what it is. And there are a lot of bugs that were not presented back in the day. I think they got help and consultation from Blizzard how to do the remasters...
Most people, and especially younger gamers will still think gta trilogy looks dated, but personally this is exactly what I wanted to see, meaning old mechanics just with much better graphics.
Even though, 60 dollars is too much for an out dated game
@@XORevolveOX Except the game is $20, so it’s not bad for that price. Original PS2 versions also routinely sell for around $15-$25, so this is also on par. The issue is people wanting this to be a AAA next gen title, and in reality it’s a 20+ year old game.
changing grey smoke (realistic) to black (nonsense) on burnouts = better graphics lmfao
@@ortiz5922 Sure there are some imperfections, but these are meaningless details. Overall GTA trilogy looks amazing compared to the original games, at least that's my personal impression.
What people don't understand is, that the trilogy is a 3d universe, it's different to HD universe of gta 4 and 5. The remaster is supposed to be like this, for the aesthetic and game's old art but rendered to better resolution and effects for the latest hardware and peripherals. The people wanted the remaster to be hyper realistic like most recent games, which struggles to be unique.
But I remember NPCs raising hands when pointed with a gun in original VC
Bro I remember you from Mohit Tyagi sir's channel... Damn!
On PS2 they do afaik
Yes on console version when tommy targeted npcs they absolutely raised their hands
@@riverbord5353 And if you point a gun at a cop it's an immediate 2 star wanted level.
GTA Vice City 2021 is for this generation kids But GTA Vice City 2002 is our nostalgia.
Saddest thing, immortal god can't able to swim in definitive edition also 😭
It ain't sad kiddo
Clearly af you haven't played the og's in their time
it would destroy the part of the game where it was supposed to be like the original
It isn't meant to be added anyways its a remaster they don't add new animations
yes:(( it's just in gta vice city stories, but i have vcs on my psp:))) im still playing on psp in 2021:)
They could have remade the whole game, like they did with mafia 1
Do you know how much time that would have took? Especially for 3 games…
They could’ve, but that would’ve taken a long time to produce and it would’ve been way too expensive. And they would not make a profit, so this is what we got.
like they did with mafia 1, but not with the other 2 mafia games
Rockstar knows people will buy even the laziest low-effort products, so they just dont try anymore.
Bruh do you even know anything about rockstar game inside news what's actually happened you guys just don't even know anything
Nice video dude! I like the way you compare
0:46 in the ps2 version the npc run away OR raise their hands as they slowly walk away. xd
They do in the PC version as well if you set your controls to classic.
I that's what I was thinking as well. If you use a gamepad on pc so you can lock onto them, I think they should react as well.
My favorite GTA is GTA 3. Bought it for the Definitive Edition for the PS4 and that game alone crashed on me 4 times in a row already! Big OOF!
When it rains it's like a damn monsoon and you can barely see or drive in it!
Not to mention completing the mission 'Turismo' for El Burro while it's raining and driving the Banshee. Do to its' lightweight, speed, and handling I failed that mission over 8 times till I tested almost every fast car I could think of.
Eventually, I found out that the most balanced car for that race or any races, is the Mafia Sentinel. Handles like a dream even while it's raining.
Same bro
My Xbox one X crashed 3 times in row
I hope rockstar updates/patches the definitive edition
Oh no
I've not had any problems for 3 on PC at the moment, except being blinded by the rain. Takes time to adjust. Lol
@@SilverKnight752 Is the Rockstar Launcher still down?
I'm glad you didn't have any problems with crashes.

Feeling pity for them who just finished demolition man mission in definite edition and then just went in the water to test whether tommy can swim or not😂😂
well atleast they now have autosave xD

These remasters are a perfect example of how poor art direction can destroy the atmosphere you're creating. The reason the 2nd game looks great while the 1st and 3rd don't is because the new, bright visuals really work for the colorful and vibrant Vice City, but not the dingy, grimy Liberty City and especially not the washed out, hazy San Andreas.
foggy day in gta vc:*fogs everywhere (of course)*
Foggy day in gta definitive edition: 7:33
San Andreas may be considered the best of the trilogy but Vice City holds so much nostalgia for me.
Nice avatar, man ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
7:12
That NPC in the back was having a stroke.
1:55 go play with traffic 😂
It looks so cool, it’s like old and nostalgic but futuristic at the same time lol
Futurisctic
It looks like a game from 2005 🤭🤣
@@Wolfenstein1942 it actually meant to look like that. The goal of rockstar was to overhaul the game without taking away their feel
What rockstar games/grove street games needs to fix to make the DEs playable:
1-restore the fog in gta 3,sa (modded)
2-bring back the orange atmosphere of old sa back,bring back the dark atmosphere of old gta 3 back
3-fix the bugs and glitches
4-fix the new trash physics of gta sa DE
5-fix the new trash rain (modded)
And thats it, now if They did all that and lowered the price for maybe 20 dollars for each game not 60 for all games bec. not every single person wants to buys all the three then this remastered trilogy will be playable.
After Watching Free Guy...
Me At :- 05:55... Don't you have a heart bro....
Love to see more videos of this before I make my decision wether to buy these games all over again. Thanks for putting this together. Loved seeing the weird glitches lol
I am defo let down by this "definitive edition" (£54.99) it seems like a quick money grab tbh and I have seen much better from the community modders, big up to them keeping gaming alive. 🙌 💚
I hate that outline surrounding the NPCs
Please do Gran Theft Auto San Andreas remastered comparison please, you do it with so much effort i really enjoy those in depth comparisons.
Something that I miss of this game is the dew effect on the screen when it was raining, bump a hydrant or use the chainsaw over somebody. They didn't use it nevermore in other games after Vice City.
The blood marks in new one looks like strawberry jam, but the video guy keeps saying they're realistic.
That suv handled like it did in the original San Andreas.lol
I thought you are a bot advertising a website 🤣🤣🤣 because of that dot lol
@@monkeydluffy3961 nah.lol TH-cam has kindy gotten rid of bots on here.
Wrong fact here: I was able to aim at the npcs and they used to react to it. Even the policeman starts to shoot me.
That is a different gun
Its the type of gun that would auto aim
@@ARAKKONAM_AVENGER cool. Otherwise it wasn't showed that way.
LoL, when he shoots another bullet the previous bullet effect is gone😂🤣
And did you saw the shark st 4:34
Nice video. Good that rockstar fixed those small details. You can aslo make part 2 with bullet decals, car deformation, traffic ai and many more :D
Also, cars in the definition edition always pack with explosion. Just a minor damage and they will explode within seconds.
Maybe that reflection of the game it self, the quality of cars same as game they cannot stand longer like predecessors.
Thats how it was in the original
The definitive edition weather while looks great looks far less.. atmospheric/immersive, you can see in the old one when raining or cloudy the grass looks darker while in the definitive edition for some reason still maintain that sunny level green grass.
Yup, I just criticised this thing in a comment. No environment lighting from weathers, wth...
Omg, did you seriously just say that 🤦
@@tjp_real yeah, and I pointed it out, cause it's such a fundamental, basic thing, so it's very odd it's missing
@@DaP84 the rain of the definitive edition is worse than the rain of games from a single mobile developer, I'll give an example the rain of The Street King, the streets look MUCH wetter than that of the Definitive edition, it has lightning and they light a lot, it has a GTA San Andreas level fog in the rain, that really gives the strong rain weather different from Definitive.
bro rainy hear is just rain means normal drizzle but the old one was overcast i.e. covered with clouds
4:40 The physic lol
3:03 dude say “spasibo”
Спасибо
1:19 my comment inspiration lol
they actually added some good small details, im sorta surprised, i always thought its just an official graphics mod xD
sadly the news paper or some trash on the road detail got removed..
0:53 this is free aim on PC (free aim on ps2 only applies to some guns like the M4 or mini 14), automatic aim on ps2 version prompt a response from npcs
One word ...Disappointed, so much promise ,so much nostalgia ,so much potential, wasted...and I think the modders made it come real a long time ago. And to be honest, that was better than this to some extent.
The game looks amazing in my opinion but Rockstar, now being more of a soulless corporation, have ruined it, taking the og games off sale and replacing it with a £60 game.
1:16 who said they can’t react
You have to use a gamepad/controller
And aim at NPCs or Cops
NPCS will run away like
1:08 or flip of like 1:22
And aiming at
Cops Will shoot like
1:36 also you will get wanted level
(You should try it in Vice city origin)
Vice City is the only one of the three, I would play before modding blows up. GTA 3 should be played with mods that restore that gritty dark feel to the city. San Andreas...has ALOT of problems that need to be solved ALOT
Also if you are on pc do yourself a favor and get the rain fix mods asap
ooor, just play the original game i say;)
If you burnt the grass well it effect more area fire then the old grass texture?
No, they only upgraded the graphics, not the mechanics
@@jirenowarida818 but grass get now effected by fire in remastered
1:07 why i actually Remember this was a thing in the older versions too with auto-lock 🧐
it was, the dude is using some sort of mod to free aim just like in the definitve edition
I’ve been playing them this last few days, after nearly 15 years of playing them for the last time. And I gotta admit I am having a really good time, enjoying the shit out of the games. Things only people who played it back then will understand. I agree that they could have put more effort into some things, but hope we get some updates to fix them…
I hope we're gonna see some money soon
U are a sheep for buying this shit.
@@Zbychu93 not my fault you a broke bastard lol
@@RP-77 how am I broke? Just cuz I refuse to buy something that's broken and not even tested before it was released?

@@Zbychu93 And you are the type of guy that goes around telling people what to buy or not? Get the fuck outta here man! Go live your life, if you have one you bum
The lack of ped reaction when you aim at them is because you're using a mod instead of classic controls otherwise they'll get scared just like Definitive Edition
I was gonna say in the original there was no free aim or free camera
You’re right
some glitches need to be improved like when tommy hit the two-wheeler guy...
OP video bro
from where did you got this game?
2:55
TOMMY: guessing why is this building standing there. 😂
I love the definitive edition it's over hated
They need to add more NPC in certain areas of vice city to make the city look more alive
Please do a part2.
The bullets take a lot more damage from Tommy when hit.
The explosions have a wider blast area.
You can't use rudder steering controls on the RC planes/helicopters.
You can now drive through the mansion doors and keep your car.
There are more interiors to buildings.
You cannot rotate the turret on the tanks (for that extra boost).
After 20years
Tommy and Claude can't swin 😂
Just like Tommy in gta in Tehran
4:35 You Can't Swim Because there is Shark!!!
7:30 you messed up cars😂 before the test
I could’ve sworn characters in GTA VC reacted to having a gun pointed at them.
R* bosses: How's it going with the trilogy?
Rockstar programmer: we got load of bugs and glitches to deal with atm
Bosses: but does the game look pretty?
Rockstar programmer: sort of, for the most part I guess?
Bosses: So you're done then, lets release it cause who gives a fuck? we sure as hell don't .
Are we not going to point out the fact that the epic windshield shatter doesn’t happen when you hit a pole or NPC anymore…. Wtf.
2:19
as this type of handling in gta vice city definitive
i am getting creeped out to complete vrock club mission- publicity tour.. Remember that mission in which you have to drive a limo carrying speed detonated bomb???
I'm definitely gonna grab this when they do a free giveaway on the Epic Store
Try Jumping From To the most tallest building if he have the power
Same thing happened bro.... Tommy is still immortal to height
7:17 look at these bodybuilder arms
I will still play original with mods. Never this „remaster”.
Holy hell that's a big shark in the water

"keeping the classic feel"
My expectations were low and I'm very happy with the Remastered. It's my favorite of the whole gta franchise.
Exactly the same for me! The trailer for the remaster did it no justice
So you are happy with a remaster that has more bugs, censorship and less stuff than the originals, lmfao
I respect you. You are one of the few who reviewed the positive aspects of the remaster.
