everyone called it and they do it with a straight face.
HAHAHAHA

I wonder if they removed the nasty indian pedestrian guy from SA: DE.

being honest, probably not.
if you think most pajeets get mad at being called pajeets you are dead wrong, i guess only the twitter pajeets might fake it, also, never, ever, hire pajeets. they literally fuck up stuff you'd think it's on purpose.

Of course the remaster was going to be jank dog shit. I feel it is highly unacceptable to charge 80 dollars for a reskin of a 20 year old game. Especially considering how broken the missions are. Apparently my one buddy gave San Andreas a try last night and it froze his console after playing it for 15 minutes. When I seen the launch trailer I thought it was nothing but a poorly ported reskin and it is unlikely that they where going to do much to improve the games. Glad at least the modding community is still going strong and I'll stick with getting the original games with mods.

I played San Andreas a bit on Xbox because of GP, and the janky controls and awkward movement are a refreshing reminder of how the game used to be. Personally, had they modified the core mechanics, it wouldn’t even be SA anymore, just some sort of San Andreas theme park.

All this port needed to be was maybe fixing a few bugs, allowing modern conveniences like high res and widescreen, and pricing it a third of what it is. It would’ve sold like hotcakes. Instead, we get… whatever the hell this is. But EVEN STILL: if this was a carefully done port by a loving team given plenty of time and talent to do it right, I could live with the weird artistic choices and enjoy the game anyway. But this has turned from exciting product to disappointing product to absolute technical disaster that crashed the entirety of R*’s online infrastructure. How was this allowed to happen? Were they simply given absolutely no oversight or something?

EDIT: oh, and they saw fit to redo practically every graphical aspect, but left the voiceovers at like 48kbps and recorded underwater over an old Nokia flip phone?

The trilogy looks unfinished , and i mean genuinely unfinished , it looks like it had another few months of work left before being released. My best guess is that GSG was expecting to release in 2022 after GTA V E&E , but when E&E got delayed rockstar wanted to release something in that timeframe , so they called up GSG and told them to finish the Remasters for release. Even though the mobile ports sucked they weren't as broken as these "remasters".

The main thing that sells this to me in my head is the fact songs they didn't have the rights to were in the files , it makes me think GSG thought there was time for rockstar to maybe get the rights for them , but when their release date jumped forward a few months they just did a dirty fix to the game so they wouldn't play and just didn't remove the song files. This also explains why hot coffee was still in the game files even though it caused a unending shit storm in 2004 , before September 9th , the remasters probably weren't far along , rockstar then gave GSG 2 months to finish all 3 games and so they cut corners , leaving hot coffee in , not properly testing , doing quick and dirty texture work just to get it working.

And rockstar said ok , remember that , someone at rockstar saw these remasters and said "Yeah that looks good".

Expect articles about how bad the crunch was and how GSG really wanted the game to be good.

I would've been happy if they just did a straight port and left everything else alone, this is some monkey's paw shit. I'll wait for the ACTUAL definitive edition.

why do zoomers want remasters and remakes all the time? they all fucking suck

It's weird how much I see Zoomers and even some Millenials complain about people crying about how much games suck today, but then they seem to be the ones most excited for old shit.

Prepare to wait decades for one , its no secret the only people rockstar cares about are the ones who buy the shark cards , if they cared they would have done a proper remake in house , not outsourced a remaster to devs clearly incapable of making a decent port.

...at least we can see Mt. Chilliad from literally anywhere on the map tho

This isnt a shiny road , the roads arent properly placed so you are seeing under the map.

This is amazing, making billions off of shark cards for 3 console generations and the first actual non-DLC thing they have to release in years turns out to be a broken remaster of a game that already had a functional remaster.

on top of that, they outsoruced it to mobile games developer

The original remaster had a mobile games version already. That's still no excuse.

In theory that should have made it easier and there would not be this laundry list of errors.

Remember that GTA V Expanded and Enhanced is coming out next year. I'll be disappointed when that sells like hotcakes.

 

[moseph.jartelli]

Nope the remakes are great. You nerds are wrong again. Go play the originals if you want the fun of obsolete clunky controls

People still throw their wallets at Bethesda for inferior versions of Skyrim over and over. After fixing technical issues, there was never any legitimate enough of a reason to keep releasing it after Special Edition, but people kept on taking matches to money, so here we are.

Never discount the consoomer shill's abilitity to ruin absolutely everything for everyone and give multi-billion dollar corporations carte blanche to shovel sub-par products out the door because instead of pushback, the consoomer shill would rather hop into youtube comments and argue with people who don't just shut up and consoom and tell us, that we're the idiots for not being mindless consoomers. We've now hit peak Chinese knock-off quality in the gaming industry; only difference is now it's Western companies shoveling shit, in our face.

It really isn't that black and white but it's pretty damn close. Thank God we have over 10 years of games that were made during a time when developers cared and just wanted to give back to the hobby, not exploit it. It's enough to last a lifetime. Only reason this shit hurts is because it's something we hold near and dear, and these Nu* and GSG faggots thought it would be funny to trot out the corpse of something that was once untouchable and drop their pants to their ankles like retards and piss on it, and then demand we pay them $60 for their hard work.

I'm grieving dammit, let me be.

Outside of camera controls (that are easy as hell to mod in) it's still the same controls. If anything the modern games have much worse controls. I got annoyed with RDR2 and how Arthur couldn't get to what I wanted him to grab in the tiny cabins.

With PC that isn't a problem. Mods like free camera when driving in GTA III & GTA VC and even a pseudo-target aim button from GTA SA exists in the games i mentioned earlier.
So fuck off, bitch. Go to lick Rockstar's ass and leave us alone.

How many shark cards have you bought, shill?

 

[Mr. ShadowCreek]

I think I'm going to get the Trilogy for the Switch. It will be nice to play GTA on the go or just on my own console rather than my brothers PS4. I just hope they don't mess up the controls.
