The first three Grand Theft Auto games have been remastered for the new generation. The definitive edition has improved graphics, performance and makes use of 4K HDR on Xbox One X.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition – Degeneration is a remaster of the original Grand Theft Auto games. It was released on April 26th, 2019.
TEST – It’s releases like these that make me hope that the video game business will collapse and burn like a Russian trash can after 1983. Yes, the metal box that produces a noise that the whole apartment complex can hear when you kick it. These aren’t final versions; they’re iterations that are degenerating and sloppy.
It’s all a dialogue’s text edition. Then I’ll get chastised for not rewriting it, but because we’re playing “here’s the next one after this one” again (and I’m sure there’ll be another one soon after that), I’ll do it this way. At the very least, it’s one-of-a-kind. After this, trolololo, I’ll get to the news.
-I-
– In any case, I’d want to discuss the GTA trilogy.
– Oh, no. *takes a bag of chips off the shelf*
– Do you really intend to gnaw on the microphone?
– *takes it out and opens it*
– OK, you’ll have to turn down the music because if you don’t, I’ll throw something at you…
– All right. [Laughs]
– I’m not sure where to start. Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, for example, are no longer available for purchase on Steam… They weren’t precisely the original versions, but they were moddable, and they were a middle finger to Take-Two [cursing has been deleted entirely] for their lack of care for its customers. It’s already a large WTF since anybody with Steam can download and alter it; for example, the Chaos mod for San Andreas on Twitch is massive… *pours soda water into a glass*
That had been the build-up. You’d think that in exchange, these new versions would be of high quality. Hah! Not. Do you have any idea how bad these three editions are? Okay, maybe it’ll get better later, but I didn’t like how they showcased nearly none of the three games that were Frankensteined onto Unreal Engine 4 in the pre-release marketing since they still had the Renderware middleware engine in them. That’s something I’d bet on. As a result, we didn’t see any gameplay footage. Then there were the Switch photos. I thought it was going to be a disaster, and lo and behold, Rockstar did release such a scandalous piece of nonsense that I believe it was management hurrying to get it out there and demanding, “Get this done by the deadline, no backtalk.” Wait, I just recalled, it’s released on Nintendo Switch (which I’m happy about), PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 (not that you can play them using PS2 Classics emulation… sorry, you COULD but they’re not on the PlayStation Store)… San Andreas is Xbox One and Xbox One backwards compatible, whereas the other two are Xbox 360 only. The formula was mastered after the first two games, therefore San Andreas is the best of the three.
-II-
– You might also discuss the level of quality.
It’s really nasty. – [here’s a great twenty-word swearing]
– *giggles*
– But don’t laugh; I’m about to start a list: in San Andreas, the simple fact that I drank from the vending machine frightened me out, and the game crashed after a time. HOW? The rain then seems to be scandalous, as it flies through the air upside down and falls UPWARDS. It’s so distracting that you can’t see where you’re going at night since the rain resembles milk rather than natural precipitation, which also vanishes when it falls on the sea, for example. But, even if that were the only issue, the PlayStation 5 does not support a consistent 60 frames per second frame rate. For example, a system from last year can’t run three 15-year-old titles translated to a newer engine without causing frame dips. Grove Street Games didn’t have much time to create, but they produced the mobile releases back in the day, which led to San Andreas’ PS3 and Xbox 360 releases. Let me think about it… *sips soda*
Yeah, it was like slaloming the vehicle, as if I were warming up the tyres behind the safety car in an F1 race, and it was making the car larger and bigger. What else is there… The character models are terrible in many places (e.g. no body behind fat CJ’s pants), distorted in some areas, and in many cases changing their appearances unnecessarily (Denise, Old Reece? maybe I got his name wrong, the hairdresser), the road markings glitch around bends, there are invisible walls here and there, the second letter E from the “Welcome to Vice City” sign is missing, and the fog that obscured the technical limitations but
Oh, and my personal favorite: the PC edition was unavailable for a day because the Rockstar Games Launcher was down for 18 hours, and as this is the only way to obtain the trilogy there, paying customers were unable to access the items they had paid for. Then there’s the music, which is in OGG format, and they don’t have licenses for some songs; they’ve removed the original soundtrack; the Hot Coffee mod from San Andreas is included; and they’ve left source code for several missions, as well as developer notes. It’s amazing, and we could continue on, but then the conversation would go till 8 p.m….
-III-
– But, on a scale of 1-10, how would you grade it?
– What about the re-releases? Let’s get one thing straight: the core games are serious works. Because there were no Rockstar Games before then, I’d award Grand Theft Auto III a 10/10 for the breakthrough inventions that DMA Design came up with. Vice City gets an 8.5 from me since there wasn’t much new in it. San Andreas gets a 10/10 for substance and inventiveness, as well as the fact that you can swim in it. I’d say there isn’t much originality in the degenerative edition.
– And what about the trilogy?
– What’s more, guess what? It is now 1/10. The Nintendo Switch release is a plus, although I remember their being homebrew versions for it earlier, so there was more love here than from Grove Street Games, apart from the tweaks. The modders must once again fix the game. It’s incredible. It’s the year’s greatest letdown. Okay, III and Vice City had no BC on Xbox, but honestly, the original trilogy works smoothly on a PC nowadays, and you can get better-looking graphics out of them. After all of this, I’m looking forward to the games business collapsing since the westerners (EA, Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard, and even CD Projekt) are completely messing up. The lighting and texturing have mainly improved, but they aren’t adequate on their own. It’s a joke that not even the PlayStation 4 Pro or Xbox One X can run it at 1080p. We could achieve the most steady 60 FPS on Xbox Series X, or if you run the PlayStation 4 Pro version on PlayStation 5. Even with a 648p docked resolution, Switch performance is poor.
– Isn’t it a little harsh?
– It makes no difference to me; I was urged not to hold back. I didn’t do it.
– Isn’t that too venomous?
– I don’t give a damn, In a gonzo fashion, I’m sending this trilogy to hell. Because the FIRST editions are no longer available on Steam, I suggest buying the disc copies, or PIRATE THEM if you already own the trilogy if you don’t have any other options. (It is not your fault if you are unable to purchase it.) Perhaps G2A… Let Take-Two have it; they’re already marketing GTA Online.) Oh, and the latest re-release of Grand Theft Auto V is horrible; you already know that. That is all there is to it. I’ll take care of the news right now… If I have time, I’ll live: goodnight, my patient.
– *giggles*
– Goddamnit, I hope that gets stuck in your throat…
