No Sonny.. I dont have the money.
Nope!
Total shitshow if you ask me, and I played the OG back when they came out.
The rain in GTA3 is Horrendous!
I know that there are a lot of things that bother people, but for me, I think the rain effects are the worst. Especially looking on the ground and seeing how all of the dots are in a perfect grid pattern rather than being random.
This looks amazing, i don’t get why people are butt hurt!
Liberty City and Vice City Stories deserves remasters as well!!!!
Why does it look so dark ?
Looks like cartoony shit.
People thinking a 'remaster' is the same as a 'remake'.
At the end of the day, the developers are just a team of people with jobs like everyone else, regardless of how big or wealthy the company is.
I for one, can see and appreciate all the work that was put in. Not just the big touch-ups, but all the smaller details they thought of too.
Sure, not everything looks perfect. I think some character models look a little off. I'm sure it likely has to do with what they had to work with, we can all see what they are able to do with a brand new game.
At the end of the day, no one is forcing you to buy this. There are a gazillion copies of the original, untouched game out there, for nearly nothing, if you rather play that.
The rain effects are so bad its almost embarrassing. What the hell is with that weird clipping mask in the intro scene where the camera is panning over the bridge?
Ew back to PCSX2 I go lol
Looks kinda disappointing… I was hoping for a remaster version like Residence Evil 1 and 2…
PC version is the best
5:46 They made Joey look as UGLY as Pusha T. Damn.
Damn, the rain looks like thousands of needles in the Def. Version.
… so Gamespot didn't bother calibrating the brightness and contrast on the series X.
I think the lighting at certain weather and character models looked better on old gen. I think they needed more time for this.
The old rain was betta… also the character look worse too. In the old version they look like cartoons. In the new version with the weird lighting and added specularity they look like weird action figures.
This is a good lesson in what an "artstyle" is and why you can't just upscale everything and expect it to look good.
Low models, "shinny" lights and "HD textures"?
Damn, this looks horrible, jokes aside people but the mods of the community are even better.
Looks like a De-Master to me.
3 and vice look OK
yall are so hard to please, I think it looks amazing
I don't care about this game due to Rockstar's childish behavior on the PC part that makes PC servers of Online to be shut down for less than 12 hours.
remake looks terrible man, and the rain, you can barely see anything, no motion blurs, no ambient occlusions, models look janky, wth?
Even ignoring the cartoonish new visuals, you can tell the voices match the old models better, especially in the Vice City cutscenes like at 9:13
The rain in definitive edition is the milk R* has been squeezing from GTA5, and now its overflowing.
I have all three original copies. Guess they just went up in value.
they forgot to add charm and style to their unoptimized, graphical mess.
Wow, that rain does look awful.
the definitive version make Mafia Definitive edition looks like a masterpiece
Original Tommy looked cooler imo. Nice new graphics though.
You people keep calling it “Definitive” But it’s actually spelled “Defective” The GTA Defective Edition.
As someone who lives in Cornwall we say this quite a lot, “it looks alright as long as it’s not raining”.
I've quite literally been playing the PS2 versions of these for several days. I'll defend that hill until I can't.
"look how they massacred my boy"
I wonder if you can still use cheat codes 🤔
This is such a huge let down. I was so looking forward to going back and playing this remastered. They just made a worse version than the original game. I'll stick to my original discs.
Just buy the ps2 version or Xbox
Like original comment definitive edition
I would’ve been happy with straight ports. 3 classics in original form for £20. 🤷♂️
the Xbox Original looks good, but I love the Definitive Edition is the best
tommy looks indian
I wanna believe Carl is innnocent but its been how many years later now and he's still reppin Grove St?
