So the remakes are shit? I'm sad to hear that, not surprised though. Modern Rockstar is in serious decline as a developer.

There hasn't BEEN another version of Skyrim since the Special Edition. The Legendary edition is literally just a minor update of SE and you only have to pay for it if you want the bonus Community Creations content in one neat package.
You're confusing buying a game on a new console as Bethesda releasing a new version of Skyrim. Oh man it really does suck that I bought Skyrim on the Xbox and now the filthy jew niggers want me to fork out MORE MONEY to play the game on my Nintendo Switch. God fuck Bethesda.

Switch version I hear has bad frame rate. You'd be better off getting the mobile ports on your phone.

I don't get why most people are giving a pass on the overall look of the game. Are you really telling me that UE4 lighting's a "improvement" to the GTA3 art style? The new lighting engine makes it look like complete garbage, it doesn't mesh well with the N64 looking models at all, lighting that tried to replicate the original would be far better. The only reason they went with the "improved" lighting in the first place is almost certainly because it was way easier than trying to replicate the proper lighting of GTA3. And it has the added benefit that it could be a selling point for dumbasses who think realistic shading = effort.

I believe GSG is retarded enough to assume that no one would go peeping inside and find them.
Leaving dev comments and uncompiled code laying around is peak laziness.
It sold like hotcakes regardless.
R* has a lot of blind fan devotion to burn before they become just another EA.

Legendary Edition is, essentially, the Game of the Year variant of Skyrim. It released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. It included the Dawnguard, Dragonborn, and Hearthfire DLCs; Legendary difficulty; mounted combat; and the Legendary Skill system.
Special Edition was the result of Bethesda experimenting with the Creation Engine in 64-bit (rather than 32-bit). It was released on Xbone, PS4, and PC. It included all of the Legendary Edition features, better water textures/meshes, and god rays. It also added (limited) modding to the console versions.
Anniversary Edition is the new one that just came out. The executable has been recompiled using Virtual Studio 2019 (which breaks a lot of SKSE-based mods), runs scripts faster (which can screw with mods as well), and includes the Creation Club content Bethesda has shilled over the years (though they are supposedly implemented into the base game better than they used to be).

the one thing i don't get is why everyone hates the improved draw distance when you all think rendering ps1 games at 1080p makes it look better instead of making it look like a total abomination (which it does). hell even 6th gen games start to fall apart to various degrees when rendered at modern resolutions

It makes San Andreas look like a fucking theme park.
There should have at least been haze around each "territory" to try and keep the appearance of distance.

Because it makes the map look small as shit and lifeless, basically. The draw distance helps with the immersion because it makes you feel that there is a whole state to explore out there. With the maxed out draw distance you can see every part of the map quite easily, making it feel that they're just neighbourhoods instead of different cities.
Plus, the lack of distant traffic LODs make the cities look empty as hell. If you want to show the whole map at least put some effort into it.
The lack of a color palette also destroys the original charm of the game, San Andreas is also remembered for it's strong, stereotypical west-coast style, orange weather.
Especially on the PS2 version, which the effect is more stronger than the PC/Xbox one.
Example,
This is San Andreas for PC, with the restored PS2 orange weather and with a draw distance extender mod, Project 2DFX. The draw distance is enhanced, but the fog is still there.
The whole scene looks great, for the reasons stated above.
This is the one used in DE. It looks like someone imported the whole map in a model editor or something. There is no fog or color at all, which makes the map stick out like a sore thumb.
Except for the trees, doesn't help the fact that the game still uses the crappy LODs from the original 2004 version.

Would if I could but Rockstar not only removed the games from the store, but from the Launcher itself. Anyone who bought the games can't play them while all this is going on - even if they're downloaded on their hard drives. But sure, guess I could always play it on the PS5 and XSX that I can't buy, and the Switch where it runs like complete ass.
Don't believe me, moseph? Try opening the games right now if you bought it on the Launcher. I'll wait. Hell, I'd love to be proven wrong.

Speaking of NationalPepper, apparently the PC port leaks didn't mean shit in the grand scheme of things. The REAL treasure was in the Switch port.

And as a bonus: here's the GitHub files for the mission scripts Rockstar's trying to bury someone graciously linked in the responses to the Tweet, for anyone curious.

Grab it before it's gone.
EDIT: I realize this was covered earlier in the thread, but this was extra clarification on that + some more stuff that was found as they kept datamining.

Both. Emulation is better if you had gamepads (things i don't have) but in PC...
I had a page which you download modpacks and get the vibes of a redesigned version of the games.

Played the old pc versions a year or so ago with a couple of graphical mods and it was pretty great. Vice City and SA looked nice and not like whatever this abomination is that R* just shat out and are expecting people to gobble up. I posted about it in this thread with links to the mods from other users IIRC.
Not tried emulating but I'd imagine PCSX2 has no problem running these games. Have fun

GTA III runs well (if you don't mind 30fps) and plays decently (not great, but it has GTA IV style controls with aiming on the right stick, firing and car acceleration on the right stick, etc.) if you follow this guide, and set ControlsSet to ControlsSet=5 on GInputIII.ini in the root folder.

I have the Steam version but you could probably find other ways to download them
There's guides for the other 2 on Steam if you Google "Vice City Essential Fixes" and "San Andreas Essential Fixes"
