Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[The Last Stand]

I expected the Michael Jackson ones as that's not R* being misers, that was Wacko Jacko being appalled when he actually played Vice City and withdrew the rights.

But a lot of those other songs? Ouch.

Micheal Jackson himself or his labelling company played VC?

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

Not only was I Ran used in the main fucking GTA Vice City commercial, but Out of Touch is flat out used during cutscenes on the yacht during The Party...

The only way those cuts could be any worse is if they removed Broken Wings, holy shit. All of those Vice City songs are fucking iconic to Vice City for me personally, and it has to be the same for others.

Edit: Holy Shit they're removing Welcome to the Jungle for San Andreas as well!

No wonder the only song they used for the marketing was that dumb remix of O Mio Babbino Caro

Jackson himself.

 

[ShitlordroltihS]

It could easily be they don’t want to put a confederate flag in a trailer, also who the fuck cares.

This is true, but I care.

 

[ShitlordroltihS]

Assuming this is true...

Why name achievements after songs that you cut from the game? And it wouldn't be a "definitive edition" if there is CUT content from the original release. Imagine San Andreas without Ice Cube or NWA.

An improvement imo, but it still shouldn't be removed

 

[Syaoran Li]

Dammit, Rockstar! You had one job....

A "Definitive Edition" of the original 3D Universe trilogy should be an easy way to win back the fans for them and part of that is sucking it up and using some of that money they got from re-releasing GTA V and Online over and over and to re-license the music.

When the songs that wind up getting cut from VC and SA are all the ones everyone associates with the game, you know they're going to fuck the whole thing up in other far more noticeable ways as well.

I need to force myself to remember this shit is targeted toward Fortnite children who never played the 3D Trilogy nor had the sense to just buy them off the PS Store/Xbox Live/Steam for the 10 years they've been available.

So they won't miss the songs at all.

Christ make your own 80s Playlist. Downliad from Napster or Limewire. A real early 2000s experience

Christ just pirate and mod the PC versions. A real 2021 experience.

The soundtrack is what sells GTA as an authentic, living, breathing open world. Ask anybody in this thread their standout moment of a GTA game, chances are it'll be a song playing on the radio while on a mission or just mucking about in the world.

Music is a powerful tool that can set the tone in a medium. Emotion, atmosphere, suspense, enjoyment, even character. Almost every song in Vice City/San Andreas feels right in the world without feeling out of place. Just listening to a mismatch of songs externally misses the point.

Also, remember that R*/T2 REMOVED the originals from digital storefronts. Now in today's digital centric world, it'll be harder to relive or experience those titles in their original glory. You're basically saying it's okay to re-release medias in a neutered experience because it's easier.

I played it on release. It wasn't the standout to me. If you wanna relive it thru some easy to find music, play the original vice city.


The Playlist idea was a joke.

Also.

NEEEEEERRRRRRD

This release is just a cheap cash grab and for R* to flex their IP rights without doing anything substantial with them. What a goddamn shame.

Joel apparently does not like the new GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition trailer that much.

Even during the middle part of the video, he’s wondering why Tommy is so tan and fat.

 

[Officer Eradicate]

WHY ARE TOMMY'S ARMS BROWN????

 

[TVStactic]

WHY ARE TOMMY'S ARMS BROWN????

they niggerfied tommy, welcome to 'merica.
also they fattened him just like tony in gta3, lol.

the trailer does show that they took some liberties to change a few things here and there too.

being honest i don't think there is a proper way of them changing the old models in the 3D era to modernize it on the same tier as GTA5 models style, they kept the cartoonish vibes to maintain similarity, in short cuckstar wants to play it safe.

why does this tommy looks a bit different from the boomshine mission??
any bets on a possible online/coop mode on the trilogy?
oh and give me my clocks but here be the ENXGMA video on the trilogy:

 

[Friendly Primarina]

I find that so weird, I heard this sentiment on GTAForums in a serious way like 5-10 years ago.

I'm only 31, I guess I should have quit playing games 10 years ago. It feels like it's nothing but kids now.

Late, but I feel this hard. GTA2 was my jam in the early '00s. Anyone remember The Diner?

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

I used to listen to a lot of GTA 2 songs when I'd drive in college. I remember one girl I dated ended up really loving All I Wanna Do when it'd come on.

Taxi Drivers Must Die was the best!

My Tiny World on Head Radio was my personal favorite. GTA1's music sounds like 70s action music.

Jesus Christ those oversaturated shaders are terrible. Those games would probably look 100% better if they knocked down the saturation in favor of more natural, muted colors.

So has anyone gotten a straight answer on the Nintendo Switch physical copy download situation for the GTA Trilogy?

IE are ANY of the games playable off the cartridge?

Also, how fucking big is the necessary download going to be if you buy the cartridge? Will it be so fucking big that you might as well just buy digitally?
