The most tremendous loss is each game’s sense of art direction, which is void in favor of clarity. These ports removed a lot of what made the originals special, and the omissions carried over. These overhauls ultimately fix the flat looks of the older games, allowing the worlds to feel more lifelike.Ī major caveat of this trilogy is that it is remastered from the mobile ports. Sure, you can’t enter them, but this new level of immersion is impressive.
If you wanna look into a building, it’ll actually have fully-modeled interiors now. In terms of urbanity, all buildings and roads are newly textured, and they look superb. Heck, a single weed sticking out of the pavement in San Andreas will move if you walk into it. Rebuilt foliage also breathes new life into each map, replacing flat 2D textures with lush, long fields of grass that actually move when collided with. It sure can look pretty, from neon signs and traffic lights reflecting on cars and pedestrians to physics-based rendering. The new lighting looks fantastic and really adds a new layer. To scratch the surface of the environmental overhaul, let’s go over the apparent positives. Overall, though, these games play more smoothly thanks to these refinements. As such, San Andreas’ classic lock-on system is still superior. The most drastic addition is the sophisticated aiming system, which locks onto enemies (also like GTA V), however, when you aim at enemies, there is an unnecessary white outline on the characters that just distracts rather than helps. Sure, in the other games, you don’t lose any weapons and cash upon death, but there are no checkpoints for what are arguably more challenging games. Moreover, you can now restart from checkpoints, but seemingly only in San Andreas. Sure, it feels a bit weird to have that modern mechanic in old games, but it works better now. You can access a weapon and radio wheel that works just like GTA V. So this last-generation option is still viable, even if it is ultimately inferior in terms of performance compared to next-gen consoles.Īcross all platforms, there are quality-of-life adjustments that make all the difference. Meanwhile, “Performance” mode gives you the supposedly uncapped framerate without those effects. First is “Fidelity,” which gives more details like water reflections at 30fps capped. It also isn’t 4k, unlike the PS5 versions, which sucks. It runs at 30-50fps at the time of its launch state.

But before we get into the significant differences, let’s go over the PS4 version quickly. However, the engine in use is the Unreal Engine instead of RenderWare and the textures are now all HD. As such, all games feature animations, physics, and general gameplay identical to the original. This trilogy is a remaster of GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas, not a remake. While there is a considerable downgrade in artistic direction and many neglectful oversights, Grove Street Games does a mostly decent job at modernizing these classics for a new generation. These remasters attempt to modernize the look of these games and make some quality-of-life improvements. From GTA III laying the groundwork for the open-world format as we know it and Vice City refining the formula in a nostalgic setting to San Andreas’ scope, these three titles are an essential part of the medium’s history. The mainline 3D era of Grand Theft Auto made an immense impact on gaming. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition Review (PS4) NovemLorenzo Lombardi - No Comments
