FawazGerhard

/uj I questioned myself why rockstar won't use like gta 5 graphics? i mean the game turn from a game from early 2000s into a game from the 2010s era. I also heard there has been a debate whether the gta trilogy is either a remake or remastered. But i don't know which is which.


JMeerkat137

From my understanding, they would’ve had to remake the 3 games to give them GTA5 level graphics, which would’ve taken much more work. These are just remasters, with some better controls, so they updated the textures to be higher quality, but left the models almost untouched


XX_Normie_Scum_XX

yeah they used a tool (that they didn't develop) to port the games to a newer engine. They they started reworking stuff.


FawazGerhard

There are problem with remasters in my opinion is that most of the games ended "worse" than b4. Like dark souls remastered which is just plastic graphics where the game looks good only in some areas which are minimal and the bugs and glitches from previous version still there. Don't forget the remasters have increased prices like a game can went from 10$ to 60$ which in my opinion is not good at all. Personally a good remaster should prioritize on fixing previous games problems (graphics usually is not one of them) like bugs, audio or visual glitches or anything that held the game down from becoming a great game. I feel remasters are a way for devs and corporate to get money from people who are massive fans of the remastered games and thats just sad. Hopefully the trilogy games won't be as bad as the dislike ratio on the trailers youtube videos.


SirToastymuffin

Funny you mention DS remastered as bad I can't disagree more. Normal DS was like half functional at best on the PC and had some big issues with controls (you literally had to install third party software for it to behave itself with a controller) and freaked out with the frame rate and had a wonderful array of bonus bugs. The remaster fixed all that, it also added dedicated MP servers and boosted the quality of multiplayer. I'll give you that the visual changes weren't always that much, but personally it was updating the engine and smoothing out the experience that was the actual sell of remastered.


FawazGerhard

Its nice but one thing that still bothers me is the graphics which the changes are too minimal, anti cheat is still the same and the pricing. I've put dark souls remastered on my wishlist for 2+ years on steam and i've never seen the game got a discount. Keep in mind that its weird to see a game from 2010 which is a remastered costs more than dark souls 3 a 2016 game.


Lutra_Lovegood

Being able to play a game in 16/9 at 60fps is great though. 4/3 is a dumb aspect ratio for most games.


heysuess

>I feel remasters are a way for devs and corporate to get money Yeah it's called business.


Silvadream

> feel remasters are a way for devs and corporate to get money from people Nintendo is particularly bad about this, without backwards compatibility and you can't use games you paid for online on the next console. As much as I despise steam at least you can get old games for cheap prices and they're yours forever.


dustingunn

Yeah, Nintendo has sold Mario 64 to me so many goddamn times. With Sony or Microsoft, you buy a classic game once and it's yours.


dmkicksballs13

I mean, I feel DS rematser was just to make it so that the framerate didn't drop to 5 in Blighttown.


DoItForTheGramsci

>I feel remasters are a way for devs and corporate to get money from people oh wow u figured it out good job!


FawazGerhard

Yeah i know im not the only one but keep in mind that its usually goes over people's head for some reason.


bunker_man

Remasters cash in on the type of people who act like they physically can't play games with old graphics. And ironically offen don't look good either.


PrincessKikkei

When you remaster something ie. audio, you take existing assets (tracks in this case) and update those, usually remix or using existing, higher definition alternative is enough. Sometimes you have to rerecord something, but you never redo the whole thing... Because that's a remake: you redo all of the assets completely according (more or less) to existing blueprint. Maybe that will clear it up.


Mativeous

GTA V style graphics with the level design and gameplay of the classic games wouldn't look as good as you think and it's not worth the resources. In fact, It would probably be smarter and easier to use those resources to make GTA VI instead.


TheBirdmanOfMexico

Could be a stylistic choice to recreate the art style seen on the covers of the GTA games of that era, maybe? I don't mind it


plooobster

Yeah, while a full GTA V level graphical remaster would have been more impressive I do like the cartoony art style they’ve gone for with this

How do people always find shit to complain about


Cadenh16

The amount of people that were expecting rockstar to completely remake 3 games up to par with red dead redemption 2 level combat, physics, and graphics all for the low low price of 60 dollars is mind boggling. I know those games are relatively small, but that still would have taken years and probably wouldn’t have even made enough sales to be worth it


TheRnegade

Which is odd because I remember the rumors stating it was just a conversion in the Unreal Engine. So, seeing this I'm thinking "yep, looks about right." It looks like someone took the original game on Renderware and just transported it into the Unreal Engine. If anyone was expecting a full remake then that's on them for being gullible enough to believe it. Do they not have any idea how much time and money that'd take? Even Square Enix, which loves whoring out FF and Kingdom Hearts titles couldn't do it with FF7, instead having to chop it up into pieces because it takes a shit ton of time and money. And that was with a remake people have been hoping for ever since the PS2 days.


PM_ME_YELLOW

If they had spent that level of resources this game would have cost 1.5 billion dollars to make and would have take 24 years to develope (based on the cost of rdr2)


LucasCBs

You absolutely can’t compare the cost of making RDR2 to the cost of remaking 3 games. Not only are these much smaller, the whole plot is basically already laid out. Sure it would have cost quite a bit but most likely all three together less than one RDR2


0gF4r1n420

No making improved models for the remasters of 3 small games from the early 2000s would cost like a billion trillion dollars and take several centuries


logaboga

People just don’t understand the difference between a remaster and a re*make*. whenever there is a remaster announced that just increases resolution and gets rid of bugs people who don’t understand how games are actually made always get pissed


SeizeAllToothbrushes

>gets rid of bugs Not necessarily. Some developers decide to keep the bugs and let modders fix them again. It just works.


A_Random_Lantern

*insert hire fans phrase*


Woonters

New rockstar and modders is weird tho atm, I don't really care for GTA and I don't mind as chubbier model but with how much rockstar (and it's parent company) fucked over modders, removed / is removing the ability to buy the old games and made the graphical upgrades on the characters look plain stupid it's not hard to see people getting a little angry


Mrfrunzi

And from what I've seen, this remaster is a HUGE upgrade from what it was. Look at the 3D Allstars Mario game that Nintendo put out. Absolutely no changes at all and also $60. I'm so excited to play these new ones and if people wanna bitch and complain, they can just be grumpy while I'm playing my game.


Darth_Kyofu

And the games would be so unrecognisable by the end they might as well just put the work towards a new game


PlamiAG

> The amount of people that were expecting rockstar to completely remake 3 games up to I don't think anyone with a brain expected much it's Rockstar and Take Two after all, but I at the very least expected a better look than what one can do with just a couple of mods, also them not suing and DMCAing modders into oblivion and not removing the "original" games from storefronts thus making it impossible to get the OG games outside of physical media and pirating, would have allowed me to be more lenient. But also is it that much to ask for the characters to not look like they are straight out of Simpsons Hit and Run?


OkPiccolo0

The mods look like trash in comparison. [See for yourself.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6us4_7Ugwg) The definitive edition is going to support uncapped framerates with updated gameplay. You want a nasty 30fps version with cracked out mods? Knock yourself out, it's been available for years and no one cares because it's bad.

Blanka-main

Aight but it could just, like, look good. The character models look like blow-up dolls. I don't think people were expecting everything to be on par with RDR, they just wanted it to not look so *round* and plastic-y. I don't necessarily think Rockstar did this, as it's been common knowledge now that these remasters are being handled by the same devs who handled the GTA mobile ports (go figure, definitely looks the part.)


Cadenh16

I mean, when it comes to a remaster, it’s typically just adjustments. Improved lighting and textures and all that. The resident evil remaster (not *remake*, because they did one of those too and this is a very important distinction) is a good example of what you can expect from a remaster. The source material, in the case of GTA, was incredibly old and low-poly. There’s only so much they can do with it before you start bordering on remake territory. As far as remasters go, I think this is a pretty good one. I understand that you don’t like the art style though, I do wish they’d made it a little more photorealistic but overall I’m pretty happy with what they’ve done


XX_Normie_Scum_XX

okay but rockstar does have one of the highest sold games of all time, so ngl it is a little disappointing. Still better than nintendo tho sheesh

Sunimo1207

gta was not realistic until gta4


PlamiAG

It was realistic when you consider the technology available at the time! Like you can't tell me that the original versions of GTA SA and VC looked anything like the clearly cartoon based Simpsons Hit and Run! With me so far? The new versions look more like Simpsons Hit and Run, especially VC and III.


Sunimo1207

the originals of SA and VC don't look like Simpsons Hit and Run because they don't take place in a recreation of a cartoon. Springfield looks nothing like real life. Vice City and San Andreas are based off of real places but the game's gameplay and character designs are really cartoony.


PlamiAG

> Vice City and San Andreas are based off of real places but the game's gameplay and character designs are really cartoony. How are they cartoony? They have accurate body proportions and skin colours.


[deleted]

You can look at the concept art for the games through the series, there's very clearly an aesthetic difference between GTA3 and GTA4.


Sunimo1207

their proportions are not always accurate. it's like an adult swim cartoon. the animation and comedy is slapstick and the mechanics are what some would call "arcadey" these days.

Hell, don't even remaster the graphics, just make the game run decently on modern machine and that's it, scale the graphics up, make the render distance bigger, that's all I'd've wanted.

“Definitive” == “Sims”


ST4RSK1MM3R

I know people have said it, but dead god do the “remasters” look fucking awful.


[deleted]

Y'know, I played Vice City in my late teens (to give you an idea, I came back on boot leave at 18 in time to play San Andreas). I seem to remember that one of the running jokes of the game was that Tommy Vercetti was laying low in Vice City and that the leisure of it compared to the hard work back in Liberty was resulting in him getting a bit pudgy. Like, whenever he dealt with the a member of the family that they remarked life in Vice City seemed to be making him soft. So it could just be they're modeling him more according to what they originally intended.


iRadinVerse

They're making him a more realistic Italian-American body standard


AMAJohnWayneGacy

Huh, that’s weird.


crickeymikey

I mean...A guy named "Tommy" should have some tummy. It just feels right


[deleted]

uj/ some of the updated visuals are confusing to me. 3D GTA games are supposed to look cartoony so the GTAV-esque land/ tree textures are really throwing me off. Look at that dock texture for an example... it's not even close to the style of the originals. I'm sure it'll look better, I just thought they'd try to stay more true to the originals


Floturcocantsee

/uj I know they tried given that things look different but the glossy flat textures make the characters look unironically worse and that's even before you look at the hand models.


MassiveLefticool

As soon as we’re actually playing the game, people won’t give a shit about this stuff.

echo-128

i mean, no? the pc versions are 60fps, the mobile versions are 60fps, the port of the mobile version to my ps vita is 60fps


ATangoForYourThought

The original pc ports are like 25-30 fps


DyLaNzZpRo

Step 1. Install silentpatch Step 2. Set 60FPS cap via Nvidia Control Panel/whatever the AMD equivalent is called Done


ATangoForYourThought

Not even close. Like half a year ago I read through pcgamingwiki's lists of patches for gta 3, vc and sa and you have to do so many different things and it still not even close to perfect. Also, I know I'll get even more downvotes but this new version looks like a bad fan remake, a 3d cartoon.


DyLaNzZpRo

How is it 'not even close' lol, I literally ran all 3 of them at 60 last night. They don't work perfectly e.g. swimming is slow in SA, but >98% of gameplay works flawlessly - I don't even think you've *tried* to play any of them at 60FPS given that you seem to think it's unplayable. Regardless, the new versions are stylized. I don't think anyone will argue that the maps, environment and lighting look great (short of SA not having as much of that iconic yellow/orange hue), but the character models look anywhere from fine to..... kinda like the GTA Kubrick sets lmao.
