Well at least Jack Thompson got his wish of seeing GTA banned in the form of it being unplayable. I wonder if he gave take to some sabotage money for them to "remaster" these old games so that way nobody would want to play on them ever again.

Explains why they took off the originals so it would make it impossible to purchase them in working order.

And it runs so, so, so badly. See earlier in the thread for Digital Foundry’s analysis. Resolutions are so abysmally low, frame rates so unacceptably janky, that the game is basically totally unplayable on the vast majority of consoles. My favourite part was when they highlighted that there’s a performance and a fidelity mode for Series X. Some reflections and volumetric clouds are omitted in performance mode, and to get them back requires a 30 fps lock.

Fucking what? On a goddamn series X? Hell even Cyberpunk, broken as it is, looks and plays WAY better on a series x. This is probably the most unoptimized pile of steaming shit I’ve ever seen, doubly so from a AAA studio.

One issue is how GSG made all the models "higher quality" , simplest way i can explain it is that they took the og models , did some minor touch ups (adding fingers , etc) and then smoothed out the models , this however causes the models to jump in size by alot , while i havent looked at any myself , im willing to bet the models in game are comparable in size to character models from a david cage game.


This is why these "nuts" look more like really thick washers.

“Why build a game when the algorithm can build it FOR us!?”

Thats unironically exactly what happened , ai upscaled textures fucking things up and removing detail , models any human would have noticed should have had edges were smoothed to hell, literally everything in this game was ran through a ai or a program at some point.

They're getting demolished on Metacritic.

As they should.

Look at the shills on metacritic giving this shit 70 and 80 points....

I assume reverse engineering the original games means having the source code accessible. I doubt GSG has access to the source code.

At best, they copied and pasted all of this together and made ... Well, this.

Its the results of several ports.

PS2 > Xbox / PC > Mobile > Definitive Edition

GSG took the code they used for the Mobile ports and ported to Unreal 4.

Are they this fucking R*-TARDED!?!?!

 

[What the shit]

I'm looking at the glitches and all that for the definitive edition and I have to ask, how could they fuck up a console remaster and it looks worse than a mobile adaption?

Satire site

Brilliant!

When they take the same team that made the shitty mobile port and have them remaster it for consoles.

When even an Irish YouTuber starts talking about the games in a disappointing voice, that goes to show how badly R* botched this release. It's as if the entire video game industry decided to all shit the bed at once (even if they've already been doing it for a while), just to one-up each other.

I disagree with his take that the devs shouldn't be held at fault for this mess though, given how silly mistakes like including the entire game's source code happened.

Kevin is bae. He is an icon. He's one of the few who seemed to actually enjoy the game despite the shit with RGL.

I'm still dying at the car slingshot though

Obvious satire. No one from Rockstar actually ever says shit about jack fuck and we rely on leaks to get any news.

yeah this makes sense now

Reviewers are probably the only people can enjoy the GTA remaster as they can laugh at the buggy game without paying the full $60 for lazy product.

I don't know about the paying man. I'm not buying this mess and I'm still upset.

Well, at least I have original steam releases with a bunch of community mods. Eat shit R*.

 

[Marissa Moira]

R* should change their logo to a more suitable font with hard edges.

Because Rockstar is making me say the Hard R.

I'll bite the bait because it's fun so here's your

FUS RO DAH

that's specific to that road.
(also the explosions fit well too)

doesn't help the fact that the game still uses the crappy LODs from the original 2004 version.

N.O.E Being a nightmare for zoomers too... nice.

You meant they rounded up the model as lazily as possible without touching the weightmaps?
because they hired pajeets to do that...

the algorithm part is more accurate on the texutres upscaling though, saving T2 money from hiring artistes
