I remember waking up stupid early before school just to play GTA:SA, so Im def looking forward to replaying these with better graphics now that Im older. And Im playing them In order just cuz OCD.
I remember getting vice city I loved it it was my favourite cause it brings back memories me and dad would play well I would play and dad would watch when I was driving cause he loved the soundtrack! Was so happy when vice city came out because I’m from Australia and I remember walking into the shop and they released it earlier back when they didn’t have RU-vid and we had the internet and all I would do was look up gta cheats so much that I still think I remember them r1 r2 l1 r2 left down right up left down right up for guns I’m pretty sure haha
@@jakespencer431 definitely nostalgia... I got that cheat CD for vice... you would load it and pick the perks you wanted, then put in the game in. Good times
Yep same but then for GTA 3 vice city and gta SA going to sleep too late and idd wake up stupid early to play some gta before I went of to school I think I was what 7 or 8yrs old at the time
Underrated comment 😭😭 I’m deadass hoping they improved a lot of the small details like the ocean life in San Andreas or being able to fly planes in GTA 3 🤞🏽
They did but the character models will take some getting used to in some cases. It simply lacks the subtly that the original ones had like Tommy's five o'clock shadow being too dark in the remaster
@@realamericannegro977 they can still polish tbt the screens shots look like they’re from an earlier build of the game, if anything they can delay it and make changes due to community feed back and it’s rockstar peeps will give them the okay pass for delaying it lol
Exactly. The cartoony look fits the artwork of the games as well as the actual vibes itself. People that complain that "it looks too cartoony" tend to forget that the 3D era GTA games were just that --- CARTOONY 😂 it didn't start getting serious until Niko Bellic came.
I can't with the cope from these fanboys. Genuinely looks like a fortnite ripoff. Everyone had a gta 4 HD universe look on mind. Looks like im staying with my mods
@@TheUltimateHacker007 Who's "everyone"? Nobody in their right mind expected a REMASTER to look like a REMAKE unless they're brain dead. I expected a remaster and this is what a remaster looks like.
I'm so excited. GTA San Andreas was the GTA 5 in the 2000s lol well it was my GTA I grew up to like GTA 5 is to younger people. I remember GTA 3 and Vice City but never beat them. I beat San Andreas lots of times.
I’m so freakin stoked for this! I didn’t want gta v graphics, always thought it would ruin the retro vibe of these games. This is exactly what I was hoping for. All I can think is... what took them so long?
You can tell that almost everyone complaining about the game is the kids that never played the OGs anyway, and I’m most excited to play 3 and vice city since the controls will be better
I love how they pretty much kept the style of the games didn't stray too far from the original DNA. They should feel the same as how they did back in the day and I can't wait to relive my childhood!
The graphics are amazing in the definitive edition of the GTA Trilogy. They may not be the best but for a remaster, the graphics are amazing. Also audience. Remember these games are classics. GTA III was released in 2001. GTA VC was released in 2002. GTA SA was released in 2004. GTA SA is my childhood
The graphics has turned out exactly how I expected them to be. The emphasis on lighting has made a day-night difference especially in GTA III. Vice City with its 80's style lighting would be visual treat to the oldies like me
Most of us og gamers are geeked for this. I don't think most of us expected gta v graphics. We just expected polish and man I'm blown away how beautiful it looks especially 3.
Games back then did market their new graphics, BUT, they were ALL about the gameplay and story. Today, it's all about pushing the graphics to the limit..
Just like you said Zac, everyone who isn't hyped for this didn't play these games when they released. These new-age gamers have it easy, and take classics like this for granted. They don't know about the countless hours of fun rolling around in the tank in Vice City and just wreaking havoc all over the city. I can't wait to get my hands on this, and already got it pre-ordered.
These are the exact kind of remasters I wanted, not all fancy rebuilt stuff but greatly improving on what was there and after seeing this I'm super stoked about its release! :D Thanks for all the info.
They didn't do anything except change the resolution and button mapping. Whatre you so stoked about if you're not getting more than 2hours of work on Rockstars part
The OG fans are excited. I'm hyped, I really love what they did with it. Only thing that bothers me is that they done my boy Tommy dirty. But the rest of it looks great and pretty much what I was expecting from it. I just hope they put effort in to relicense the removed radio songs since this is kind of a big release so it might be worth it.
@Saifee Zaman Yeah, like CJ looks the same as the original, and Claude very similar. But Tommy almost looks like a completely different person, and he has no arm air. Hopefully licensing isn't a problem, I'm sure they'd have done it if they think it's going to sell well and be worthwhile. Since it's like basically a new game, not like the other re-releases. But I heard it's difficult to license Michael Jackson songs now for example, ever since he passed away. We shall see.
I was so happy to see a positive video rather than all the premature criticism... I did not have any expectations and was blown away by the visual/gameplay improvements, as well as the little details. It's the salt and pepper on top of the OG GTA's that I grew up with, and I am excited to dig into it again.
Yes, anyone who's looking for a modern day version of Los Santos, should go play GTA V, but if you appreciate and respect the Classics, then play the Trilogy....Peace
I think people were silly to keep their hopes up for RDR2 style graphics, Especially after Rockstar's first official announcement. We always knew it would be a remaster not a remake, and considering that, I think they look alright
These games look amazing, just wish people who learn the difference between remaster and remake. I'm honestly excited for this, to replay the games that helped me get through my teenage years in the early to mid 2000s in a new look. Can't wait!
It's not a remake but it's more than a remaster. The entire game has been ported to a newer engine with new gameplay mechanics controls and what not. Most remasters only go as far as a resolution/fps upgrade and slightly better textures.
I can't believe that it has been 20 years since I first played GTA 3 with my Brother in our (at the time) brand new PC! WOW, GTA 3 was mind blowing in 2001, not just because of the graphics but the story, and this is what made rockstar so unique...THE STORY was at the center of everything, the experience was the most important thing, great video man!, I will def play them in order!
I grew up on VC and SA, and they'll be in my heart forever. I'm excited for the remastered editions, and I hope them to be something that we all love, but never to replace the originals from their legendary status.
SA for me, not only is it still my favourite entry but it's being released day one on game pass :) Can't wait to play it on my SX but I will buy the definitive edition for the other 2 games.
@@gabyn5091 it was announced at the same time as the trailer, I've already pre-installed it, just go to game pass and games coming soon. Playstation plus or w/e it's called get Gta 3 remastered. I assume xbox got SA due to Grove Street for life baby being green 😁
The new remastered graphics is exactly what I thought these games looked like as a kid. I am going to play 3-VC-SA in that order and then chronologically so VC-SA-3. I am really excited I have only ever finished San Andreas so I am excited to play through 3 and VC.
There a mainly 2 reasons it's because there just the back story's of the characters. Plus it's modern rockstar and they do these for money and the story's didn't do good money.
Let's take a moment of silence for the people who thought they were gonna rerelease the mobile ports. Now these guys are gonna complain about how the character models look cartoony.
I was one of the people kinda hoping for unrealistically better graphics (GTA V-esque) but I gotta say I think it looks great. If they nailed the controls I think this is gonna be a lot of fun.
I remember being blown away with Vice City Stories on ps2 with the reflective vehicles and separated fingers back in the day, that was our ray tracing and volumetric lighting
OG GTA players know the vibes these new generation players expected some online bullshit I can’t wait to play all the remastered editions… Good video, pointing out every minor detail 💯🤝
This is like a wet dream to me. It looks amazing and I'm happy they did change the controls to feel more recent. I can't believe it's releasing so soon, so I better tighten my backlog RIGHT now, because I'll be playing this DAY ONE. .. also, thank you for the insights in this video! 🙏
I believe a lot of the anger comes because those "new" games look exactly like the original ones after mods have been applied to them. Something which we could all do for "free". Additionally people didn't appreciate the fact that Rockstar and Take 2 took down all those mods which have been created and shared with the community for so many years. That's the real problem.
yea we could probably do it for free but the amount of system requirements to apply mods is pretty taxing and not all gamers have overkill systems. atleast rockstar is now officially making and offering a remaster of these games it obviously comes with optimized system reqs plus consoles could also indulge with the remastered versions including the switch so it will no longer be exclusive to pc players to experience graphical mods.
That's a really big improvements for the old games, everything looks really amazing to me cause I've never been able to play GTA v games,I've played only GTA SA And III so when i look at the trailer everything looks improved and detailed.
Glad to see your channel up and poping again bro!! Not that you fell off but I enjoy everytime I see your vid in my notifications. Much love bro! I hope your doing better
Also Zac thank you for this awesome content. If it wasn't for your content I wouldn't have seen any of this. You are inspiring and I hope I can do good like you
Man I would skip school just for this. It brought a lot of friends in my neighbourhood to that one person house and everybody had a good time and still went home to play their own gta. Thank you rockstar
I get to play gta San Andreas again for the millionth time 🤣🤣. The game came out when I was 9. It was my older bro game but as a young girl, I rather play GTA, than with barbies. Good times I get to relive. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Everything you talked about, I 1000% agree with. I didn't even know this was coming out until the trailer. And as someone born in the late 80's, and playing GTA 3 and Vice City on Ps2. I can definitely appreciate this.
This is going to be 🔥 as a OG I’m super stoked to play this!!! I’m also tired of people complaining, the GTA saga is so nostalgic to me! An I’m going to appreciate these upgrades.
San Andreas for sure! I'm 32 and like you said, back in '04 those were amazing graphics to us, so I think the definitive edition looks good! And San Andreas will be on GamePass 🔥👏🏼
Vice City is THE game that got me into PC gaming. This trailer makes me emotional tbh. Can't wait to drive through ocean drive with my cheetah and infernus again!
I wanted to ask are we with PS3 going to see the new remixes or just PS4 or later. Thanks so much. And I must add I'm one of the original OGs as you kids call older players. I'm 59 and I loved playing all the new games as well as the old. I'm hoping GTA can having a exciting future with any games models we use.
from what ive seen they are for ps4,ps5 and the xbox equivalents and pc..no mention of ps 3...you can see the systems that it will play on at the end of the trailer...forgot about Nintendo and in 2022 the mobile version comes out
These kids on the internet that are complaining doesn't have the comprehensive ability to perceive and understand the difference between a goddamn *"remaster"* and a *"remake"*
@@ravencagetime5046 I was 1 years old when San Andreas came and played at 5 years old on Xbox and PlayStation 2 and some Vice city but still prefer San Andreas and I beated SA finally but for Xbox 360
Claude and Tommy swimming CJ climbing ladders and also Claude and Tommy too why not Parachutes in all the games I'd be happy haha Gave the video a like by the way
The best comparison for me between the definitive trilogy and another game is Destroy All Humans!, they’ve kept the same core of the games but have updated them to play and look significantly better which as a fan of both franchises is the best of both worlds, they’ve kept the original art style but just updated the textures, lighting and mechanics which imo is THE best way to remaster them, the original art style for the trilogy was always cartoony and stylised it was never trying to go for full realism, having the same gameplay and controller layout as GTA 5 is perfect because that is the best control layout for the series imo
I'm only 13 but I'm still hyped because before I got a ps4 me and my uncle would take turns doing missions in the old gtas when I was 10 so I'm glad that they remastered them
I'm definitely going to buy these games. I might wait to see someone playing then, as I'm afraid with the high pc demand on graphics card I might not be able to run them, or run at the minimum witch would be 30fps (my graphics card is Radeon RX 550 4GB DDR5). But the first one I'm going to be playing will be San Andreas as there are a lot more things to do, and it is more realistic than the other two
The fandom have been SO toxic about this remaster And it’s their own faults lmao 20% of the people ive seen (like myself) are just grateful we are getting remasters of our favourite games in the style they were originally released 20% are being toxic about the graphics and saying we HAVE to have gta 5 graphics despite the original games not even being in a realistic style 10% saying that they refuse to pay £60 ‘for something they already have’ (despite it being a completely different version of the games) 49% saying give us gta 6 1% is just a guy I saw earlier asking for a free upgrade because he already has san andreas on ps4 Honestly the only complaint I have is the slightly off putting character model for Tommy
It looks to me like they just upscaled the graphics of characters in San andreas instead of re-moddling them like vice city and gta3 disappointed in that.
Tommy was always supposed to look this way. Rockstar said they wanted Tommy be tall, have a 5-o'Clock shadow, and to resemble Michael Madsen off of Reservoir Dogs.
I dont like that they took down so many good mods for this it doesn't look that bad for a mobile game but i feel like they would've definitely done way better for the console versions of The Trilogy
Man I remember getting San Andreas 2 days after it came out and never looked back. Gta 3 I played in elementary school then vice city etc.. I've been wanting something like this forever and ever
Vice city by far looks the best to me in terms of the graphical improvements, but my favourite gta game will always be San Andreas and they realy nailed it keeping the cartoony esc aesthetic
