CJ after Big Smoke gets caught with the cops in his house for the fifteenth time: "those cops just won't leave you alone, what's goin on man?" *EDIT* I changed the title because as y'all pointed out it's not exactly fixed even still
the classic lighting update really took me back to when i was 9-10 playing this on PS2, it feels like exactly how i remember it but polished. this is what we needed.
Classic lighting was how it was on the ps2. Not even pc had this option. Definitely changes the whole mood playing the game. Even vice city got some much needed love
@@DAMEST3S Yes, the orange/yellow filter makes me think I'm in LS. I probably won't be playing the DE version as I already have the remaster version of SA, but seeing Rockstar actually fixing these issues increases my 60% +respect for them.
I like the classic lighting off on SA with bloom turned off, motion blur off, ground haze on and lens flare on… but with Vice City it’s a must to turn classic lighting on
They give you so many ramps because you are supposed to ramp onto the top of the train. Then you just ride along shooting. Super easy mission, if you ramp on top of the train
Some physics are still broken, traffic lights and poles go under ground if you hit them with your car and that harvester mission when you hit the haystacks.
From a story perspective SA is possibly my favorite and OG Loc has got to be quite possibly my favorite GTA character I still randomly all these years later my brain be like "I'm OG Loc baby OG Loc!". From a game presentation and vibe Vice City is still King to me the whole 80s motiff, they just nailed it. My favorite city layout though is Liberty City from GTA III. I could drive those streets like it was my actual neighborhood. My favorite soundtrack is Vice City but Chatterbox from III is still my all time favorite station and I still listen to it from time to time outside the game and and Flash FM lol. GTAIII however holds the biggest nostalgia high for me though, I think like with many people at the time, it was the first time playing anything like this there was this magical first time experience, the mystery of it, the wonder.
Damn, you're a real fan! Yeah SA is my favorite because it was the first GTA game I played as a kid (and of course it's actually good). But yeah I miss the feeling of knowing the world so well that you don't even need a map.
@@TihetrisWeathersby i think 3's story is so underrated it's just Claude is a damn mute...still don't know why rockstar made that choice...my man Claude needs a second chance to show his personality lol
Ryder’s arms still look like they’re super long. Everyone’s just blaming Grove St Games for this pathetic embarrassment but I blame Rockstar for being careless jerks so rich and lazy that titles like Max Payne 3, Manhunt and Bully sit gathering dust and I blame Grove St for being terrible at their job. Rockstar can’t even be bothered giving Max an fps boost but they still sell it at 30fps. Criminal treatment of games ranging from excellent to historically important. I’ll buy GTA6 obviously but Rockstar suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
@@Seikatsu yeah I shouldn’t have said “fps boost” I should have just said they can’t be bothered giving max a 60fps, 4K “remaster” or Manhunt or Bully etc. THEY should be curating their truly excellent games they made before they became hyper wealthy and lazy.
@@BriefKeef DURRRRR Rockstar made Max Payne 3 and I was only talking about Max Payne 3 a-DURRRRRRR dude. Read. Reading is done one word at a time. Why would I suggest Rockstar should curate Remedy games? There is only one Max Payne made by Rockstar and that is Max Payne THREE. 🤦♂️
Rockstar are lazy and Groovestreet doesn't know how to develop games. 60% Rocksta's fault and 40% Groovestreet. Grovestreet getting the blame is well deserved though.
I dunno what Rockstar started smoking lately but I hope they keep smoking it. They release Red Dead Redemption on PC finally after 14 years! Something I have begged for. (I'm nearing the end of my Hardcore play through now) and they go and patch GTA Definitive Ed as well, I may actually buy this now. I have the original versions and with the bad user reviews of this Edition I just never bothered buying it. But now maybe I'll snag a copy here soon.
So kinda weird i love the classic lighting when I'm Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas, but much prefer classic lighting OFF when im in the countryside and desert, the classic lightning fog kinda completely covers the distance in the countryside, so I turn it off, I just love seeing the silhouettes of the big trees and mountains in the distance.
I'm still have a mix feeling about the character models that looks too clean like a clay toys, and those fake ambient occlusion on everything like when you ride a bike.
I think a huge issue with this trilogy was the marketing, had they marketed it like the RDR 1 port and have just announced the trio would come to current gen with some graphical and quality of life changes it wouldn't have got nearly the amount of backlash it did and still sold millions. But to be honest I feel like even Rockstar or more specifically GSG didn't know what this was supposed to be, parts of it felt like they were going for a full remake, other elements felt like a remaster and then certain aspects of the games were completely untouched. I just hope that if they do decide to remaster or remake GTA 4 they've learned from their mistakes.
I remember the 1st time I did the Running Dog mission on this game and didn't know what to do. I thought I had to follow him until much later where the briefing said something like "He's about to get away, kill him." Good times... This definitive edition update definitely rectified a majority of complaints and as for the 3 and Vice city, added a gameplay enhancement with letting us move and fire larger weapons. But I won't say it's 100% fixed, as people did state that there are still a few more bugs here and there, but I'm definitely more inclined to buy the game if I get the chance.
Having cars with hydraulics, specifically ones you could lock in, are something I really miss. I am a gangbanger, cruising the hood! Let me take a sip of the potion and hit the three wheel motion.
I don’t think they changed driving but I know lighting was hardly the Definitive Edition’s worst crime. That’s just an unpopular aesthetic choice. It’s the 432 careless mistakes that I care about
Are the PS2 era games in the same universe as 4 and 5 or not. I remember reading in Game Informer interviews for V they said they weren't. Then I see some more stuff hinting at they are.
What I don't understand is, why can't they just use metahuman to remake the models back when they first made the remaster? They're already using unreal engine, but instead they just put the models in blender, crank the subsurface scattering all the way, ai upscale the textures, and put it back in the game without even properly rigging it
I get the feeling Rockstar told the devs to fix it and they said they would but didn't so Rockstar games removed there logo from the game and did it themselves
No, unfortunately it's still not "fixed". The enemy accuracy is still bugged, and even the classic lighting option is lazily pasted on ALL 3 GAMES instead of just San Andreas. Vice City for example got screwed by this lighting, it removed the pink-blue sky at night.
Classic is the best, i do agree, however even before it came out i never really liked the orange classic lighting it kinda hurt my eyes, the remastered version before the fix, i like how the lighting, but its just me. Nice to show the fixes, kudos!
Peoples bar is set really low if lighting is enough to fix this game! The aim mechanic is horrendous, wheels on cars change in size up acceleration, cars still spawn driving backwards at times, some of the characters' faces still look horrendous, and another hundred issues I could list. Please, don't say it's "fixed" because the developers will think that this is enough, and this still shouldn't be the definitive experience.
The aiming is bad in this for sure, I cut most of my bad aiming out in the edit because I was embarrassed lol. I do feel the lighting is a big enough change to warrant people going back to check it out BUT at the same time it's still not where it needs to be and that's crazy considering it's been three years.
I think the update made things massively better, but the original look is still more coherent and pleasant to the eye. If they wanted a San Andreas with better graphics , they should've created it from scratch
no, it's not fixed at all, the character models are still shite as well as other things still not worth paying for or even pirating. lmfao I'll stick to the original
plz stop censoring stop dude if u going to do this game on your channel don’t show if u going be adult its 2024 man come on i understand about the youtube shit but come on u r going going play adult games be adult
The censoring has nothing to do with being an adult. I do it because this is my job and I need money to pay my bills. Imagine if you worked two days at your job and didn't get paid because you broke some rules even if you disagree with them. That would suck right? UA-cam has burned me too many times. Also, this video would've taken half the time to edit if I didn't have to censor it lmao. Censoring the video makes my job harder... It's not something I want to do, trust me.

Some of those updates were already on the mobile version Don't know why it took them so long to put on the console versions
So what's everyone's verdict? Worth buying or not? Certainly cheap enough atm.
Even after this "fixes" somehow is still hard to play, if it came out like this at release it would have been a different story
Lighting changes EVERYTHING, that's why you know a game isn't intresting when it has the default unreal engine look,
What’s crazy is that the lighting is better than on PC
The classic lighting removes volumetric clouds😂 wtf
I don’t think they changed driving but I know lighting was hardly the Definitive Edition’s worst crime.
That’s just an unpopular aesthetic choice.
It’s the 432 careless mistakes that I care about
The only thing I like about the Defective Edition are the grass and sidewalk textures. Other than that...
They're almost there not enough to be giving praise tho 😂😂
okay those wanted levels are messed up 16:14, i remember how hard to lose a cop in SA, this breaks immersion

No, gta 4 and 5 are in the HD gta universe, I think it was since gta 5 came out so they might still have some connection but aren't canon.

If they can correct the character models it’ll be complete
Lighting doesn’t fix the million other issues
Motion blur should be off by default n EVERY game
I think the game is fixed but the reputation isn't sorta like Cyberpunk
Now it looks more definitive. Especially with that classic lighting and mouth movement of different characters outside cutscenes.

I wish they would add the modern cover mechanics the amount of times I die in this game coz cover doesn't exist
