Played the hell out of those, I might well pick up the Switch version if its decent.

I still think Vice was the best of the series. Everything was so good on it.

Remasters not remakes

[DesoPL]

I don't think, Rockstar is going for free these reemasters for current people on steam, who got this trilogy original ones. Nah rather 10% discount. But still i'm glad it is happening, even if the vibes will be not the same. Someone speculated, that some controversial stuff will be removed like. "Kill the Haitans" sign in Vice City.

They better not. This game spits on political correctness. Cant wait to 100% these.

[Ashleyxoxo]

'Cause remakes and remasters are more of what we need.

I actually agree on that, but only toward San Andreas. Because Since GTA IV, they maked series seriously, and Saints Row taken the. "Spiting on political correctness" throne.

[Daedius]

They ain't remakes... they'll still be blocky ugly as sin models with spruced up textures, assuming it's not just an emulated port.

Ironically GTA IV probably has the most "offensive" main character of all of them.

All the humour is still there in GTA IV though it is just a bit more subtle, they honestly did not change at all. IV has the worst opening sequence of the series and perhaps any game I can remember for a long time so a lot of people are going to miss out on how good it actually is.

I'd much rather a new single player GTA, Bully or LA Noir... or port the Read Dead game(s) that never got a PC release instead

[Easo]

I have this feeling that this is going to be maximum lazy approach. They will give you new resolution options and maybe some upscaled textures, that's it.

[StillMcfuu]

I dont care if its a bit of a lazy remake, I loved these games and played the hell out of them when I was younger, they can have my money if I can play them again on ps5 or pc. Honestly, just relicensing all that music would cost Rockstar a ton.

GTA 4 comes to mind - they won't relicense them, they will get something else, of debatable quality.

Players who purchased these titles previously will still be able to download and play them on their respective purchase platforms.

Stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire for more information about Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition platforms and release dates.

I guess that explains why they went so aggressively after modders & fan projects - they don't want their lazy remaster to be outdone by fan mods for 20 year old base versions of the game

[uuuhname]

I'll take GTA 6 instead...

Well they are not mutually exclusive ideas.

I think the GTA series is on of the most amazing time capsules in gaming, especially the 3d series. You can step through version to version and appreciate how the game went from a barely functioning idea to an almost living city, and there is still a long way to go

I remember getting the first GTA and I could scarcely believe such an idea was possible lol. I just loved these technological leaps we used to have, now "next gen" seems to be social social social, post it on twitch, blah blah blah players are the content. Miserable. After GTA online I almost don't want to know what is coming next. Bring on the remakes.

[DarkAmbient]

Not interested if they haven't dragged the dogshit controls into 2021.

Edit: Also no footage or even screenshots so close to release? Not a great sign.

[Nosnogard]

I'm mostly curious if they still have the rights to play the songs from the games radios. What will it cost to retain the licence?

Also, as the poster above me said: No screenshots at all? I'm sceptical
