  • GTA Definitive Edition is being picked apart as this year's version of Cyberpunk 2077 and honestly the focus should be at what we're losing in the community sphere for a bunch of game remasters that leave the original games far more desired. Thanks for watching!

    The fact that Rockstar didn't care to actually remaster the legacy games themselves, but cared enough to /distribute/ them and for 60$ should tell you everything you need to know. It's a subpar nostalgia cash-grab and it's pathetic modders had to be shunned in the process.
    The modifications you mentioned in your video like SA-MP, MTA & GTA Underground are one of the reasons the original TRILOGY games are still so relevant to date. Because despite the modifications themselves, there are thousands of community-ran servers all with their own unique content that drive the player numbers for those games. Creating those lasting moments that you wouldn't otherwise experience in the base games.
    Also considering that the original versions of the games have been pulled from all other digital stores, forcing on players just the 'definitive editions' is surely a low-blow, and it's setting a decline for all those multiplayer mods that rely on new players running the old games.
    Truly, the effort, love and compassion for these games is something insurmountable and it baffles me how Rockstar can't clean the sh*t out of their eyes to realize it.
    - Sincerely written by a modder. 👋

The new release feels so cold and distant, I'm still playing the original trilogy with the essential fixes and it is a fantastic hit of nostalgia. I called that the remaster would be shart and sad to say I was right. Hope the modders that got hit hard could get back up soon enough.

    Mods got me into GTA, I made mods of SA long before GTA V was even announced. I'm blown away by T2s decisions.
    GTA's modding scene is the biggest one by far. I can't believe they went hostile on a community that could be considered one of their pillars to stay relevant.
    It was already quite complex to make a car mod right on SA, yet people pushed through the difficulty of IV and V like nothing, for free.
    Bethesda is doing well(don't forget about paid mods stunt though), Minecraft is thriving. Sims are also huge, despite the last game being awful. The losers on T2 could do the same.
    At this point I just want T2 to go bankrupt since their leadership is made out of greedy losers anyway.
    As for music it's always a difficult subject since it's controlled by entities like UMG which is basically a mafia and their licensing prices are probably insane.

    that trailer had me fooled.
    the definitive edition was exactly what I thought it was going to be before I saw the trailer.

    Now I see why everyone is so pissed at the Definitive Edition.
    They had Online Servers on GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas just to be DMCA'd and forced to play a glitchy version of the game in Singleplayer only mode for the 1 millionth time.
    I wasn't mad at first because I only played with no mods on PS2.
    Then the game is worse than the original bug wise.
    That shouldn't be a issue in 2021 letting games that was made nearly 20 years ago run better than the remasters that was made with better technology.
    I didn't buy it because I'm broke and don't want to pay $60 for games I played when I was 8 that has enhanced graphics.

    God, I remember the single mod I made for GTA: San Andreas. Nothing like any of these big conversion mods (though I think I might've played the zombie one at some point), but it was a player skin collection that was literally just most of the models of the Resident Evil Outbreak main cast (because at the time I was *really* into Resident Evil Outbreak). I remember because I was still new to modeling (I literally learned through reading shoddy tutorials online, lmao), the models all had some jank to them, particularly Alyssa's C outfit, and sadly I never got around to finishing that project. Even so, I still felt so much pride when I made and released that little mod and look back on it fondly. And it upsets me to know so many others who made much bigger mods than I ever could are being forced to erase their pride, accomplishment, and history just because Cockstar felt their dick was too short to match up to that of their modding community.

    Very good remaster, copy-paste the C++ code from the mobile version into UE4, run the textures through Waifu2X and subdivide the character models. Unless they are using their own volumetric fog solution, they already have an exponential height fog actor in the scene, all they had to do is tweak the fog start, falloff and height. Instead, they turn it off and leave only the volumetric fog on. The game is insanely unoptimized to the point that it lags on all platforms, so there was probably no optimization pass at all.

    I love LSPD:FR, base mod basically makes an entire new game out of GTA V. Download a few car and ped packs, and a few plugin packs, and it becomes one of the best police, firefighter, and medic simulators to exist in the gaming world.
    I like to think GTA V is comparable to vanilla ice cream; it’s great on its own, and can be more than enough on a lot of occasions. But it’s also an amazing base for something more; whether it’s sprinkles (slight enhancements) or for chocolate chip cookie dough (larger mods like LSPDFR). You can’t threaten people for adding Oreo’s to the mix. Weird analogy, I know.
    Like you said, mods are why a lot of people buy these games. I already had GTA V on the 360 and Xbox One, I didn’t need it for PC, but I bought it anyways so I could experience new content that people who have genuine love for the franchise made. Completely free of charge.
    I remember a few years ago when TakeTwo shut down the project to port GTA IV’s map to GTA V. I could see the issue in that, but in order for the mod to function, you needed to own a legal copy of GTA IV. I’m sure a lot of people who didn’t previously own it, would’ve had no problem purchasing it just for that. They shot themselves in the foot on that one.

She was astonished as, although she was a gamer, was never really into the GTA franchise, but loved the idea. I was so happy to tell her that there is a wonderful GTA game called San Andreas, an older game but really awesome with in some cases cooler details like going to the gym/fast food places (what GTA 5 didn't have) The best part, you could play it with 2 people! I had the game installed with GamePass, I loaded it up, went to that location in between the little houses aaand.... It wasn't there :C they removed that in the newer release.

    Better yet the Definitive Edition pull the HD player into DE by making DE much more fun.
    this is probably just a coincidence, but if a Definitive Edition or Remaster locks the purchase of the original, there's some Shady stuff in it.
    One Example is Total War : Rome Remastered that locks the purchase of the Original and it goes super bad.
    While Age of Empires 3 Definitive Edition have some rough start but still allows people to buy the Original(even though for some reason the Original cost more than Definitive Edition), despite having some problem the developer tries to add more features in the game.

      but at the same time it introduced unwanted things like building position and unit composition restrictions and the mostly hated card system
      also, it was far too zoomed in, but had zoom out been allowed to a view like 1 and 2 have it would still look high enough resolution for today
