      @@locknstock9423 Thank you. Glad you liked it. And yes. This is basically part 4 of my mini-series where I critique and analyse GTA III remaster. It's not called Part 4 because initial 3 videos were all about downgrades. They focused on comparing GTA III with The Definitive Edition. This video continues my critique of the remaster but it's more general. It's more about wasted opportunities and lack of improvement and less about comparisons with the 2001 game. Hence the title. This is conclusion of my GTA III critique because I think I covered everything that was important. And I think this is a good wrap-up because it ties into my first GTA III-themed video where I showcase a remake concept. I might create similar videos about Vice City and San Andreas but for now I'm not promising it 100%. I have millions of ideas for fun videos I wanna make and I'm trying to feature a lot of different games and different video genres. I get way more creative and eager to work that way. If I were to spam the same type of video over and over or focus on a single game, I'd get burnt out pretty quickly. I think people who do only comparisons must have insane patience. I got kind of annoyed by the time I was editing Part 3 of this mini-series :D

      @@monsieur_addax Thanks man! I really appreciate your kind words. I know the low views are a bit of my fault, because I make a lot of different videos about different things that might not interest everyone at the same time, but UA-cam really is screwing me over on top of that. It's very obvious that views hinge on a whim of the algorithm a lot. One thing that makes me optimistic is the fact that I don't have that many videos. Only about 80. So if I pump out more, I'm bound to have more hits.

      @@monsieur_addax Beluga doesn't have fewer videos than me. He has around 200, while I have only 80. He is just a guy who randomly blew up for no particular reason. He's a shitposter who uploads very often but there are lot of others like him who make Discord memes and stuff. He's actually a great example of how broken the algorithm is. Sometimes random people doing random things get on the good side of the algorithm and appear in everyone's feed. Sure, you can say he makes fun videos and people like watching them but this is kind of a result of the algorithm. At some point, Beluga's videos started getting recommended to literally everyone and their grandmothers, so it was hard not to notice him. So obviously he found a shit ton of fans. If you showed any decent channel to tens of millions of people, it would become insanely popular. This mf has 8M subs already XD By doing random Discord shitposts. It's insane.
      There are hundreds of belugas on UA-cam who make similar videos and reach barely any viewers. It's a lottery in the end. For every insane success there are hundreds of similar creators who failed.

    Shell casing used to clingclingcling when they hit the ground after being discharged. Now they dont, and thats massively disappointing. If that was the only difference, ok cool. But they somehow managed to make an old, great game worse and added a fresh coat of paint. In a way I honestly feel bad for Grove Street Games. They were given a task well beyond their expertise and never shouldve been assigned such a task, now theyre taking a lot of the hate. They dont have nearly enough man power to overhaul 3 entire, very detailed and well crafted games. They made some nice improvements, and some things look quite nice. But none of their “improvements” are consolation for the final product. GTA 3: Disappointing Edition no doubt

      They weren't forced to do it, they're an independent company. Rockstar hired them because their small number of employees and terrible reputation probably makes them dirt cheap as far as external contractors go. As for why they accepted it, its probably because they all just want to get paid and feed their families, and maybe they thought a AAA remaster would look good on their portfolio. Rockstar Games shouldn't have outsourced this project, and Grove Street Games shouldn't have accepted this contract, but both of them did what they did for money. Meanwhile the buyers are getting duped, and the modders are left to pick up the pieces. This situation is entirely on everyone who made Rockstar rich and powerful through shark card purchases. Before GTA Online, they did good work. Now that they're basically printing money, they're not doing any real work, not making any new, good games. All the important founding members have left the company, so GTA 6 will either suck, or be online-only with shark card purchases all over the place.

    One thing that's friggin irritating is how the rocket launchers in all versions don't have the range that they did in the originals. AND, the grenades and explosions in general don't have the same damage reach as the originals. This frustrates me especially in San Andreas when I rely heavily on effective grenade explosions when fighting off the waves of Ballas during gang wars. Also the gun mechanics seem jacked up too. The list goes on. It's frustrating because I expected so much more out of these games. They shouldn't have tried to do them all at once. They should have nurtured them one by one so they wouldn't be so riddled with bugs and obvious problems etc.

Even in terms of graphics, GTA III: Definitive Edition is not an improvement but a setback. Overall, its graphics are like GTA 5 Fake. Many features included in the original were removed and old bugs were not fixed (they also added new ones).

    If you want to fly with the Dodo in GTA3, it' forbidden to lift up the fornt of the plane. If you want to take off you need to press the button wich in other games pushes the plane down(it shoud be NUM6), then when you gain enough speed, just release it and the plane like a spring jumps up. Than all you have to do(is follow the damn train CJ) is push down the plane if it's front lifts up, never try to lift it with NUM9, or it will fall down like a brick. It's hard to turn and just fly around the islands, if you fly above a stunt jump, it will trigger the slowmotion(there is a mod wich fix it), and dont try to fly near the Callahan bridge, it's hitbox is way bigger than it seems. I never tried these things in Disappointing Edition(just in the original), so if I got something wrong let me know.

      If I remember correctly, the way to fly Dodo was glitched when The Definitive Edition launched. But that's besides the point. The point is that this crappy Dodo is still the only air vehicle in the game. Devs didn't even bother to port helicopters from Vice City. Even modders managed to add helicopters to the original game.

    My thoughts on the trio of freaks R* sold to us. ....
    1. Development should have started just after GTAV was released on the PS3.
    2. They should have gotten a remake instead of a re-master / re-disaster.
    3. Development team should have been R* Leeds or North.
    Such historically significant games deserved the best teams.
    4. If the above 3 points were implemented these games would’ve been incredible and could even have had a simple online mode much like GTA IV.
    I refuse to buy this trilogy unless I find it in a charity shop for £2.
    I had access to the original and now removed trilogy on PS4 and managed to get all 3 platinum trophies.
    And now I’ve gone out of my way to buy a PS2 and all 5 GTA games.
    Unfortunately R* was being chewed out by T2 when these monstrosities were created and that more than likely had a detrimental affect on their development.
    I also imagine that Benzies, Jones and Houser leaving R* may have had something to do with the treatment of the trilogy.
    And finally, don’t expect GTA VI to be anything like past games.
    I advise you all to keep expectations EXTREMELY low because it may not even deserve the moniker of GTA.

      It's actually edited in. I added some sound effects for comedic effect. Here's a fun fact: in many remaster scenes, I added background noise of the city/the sea lifted from the original game. I did it because the remaster is fkin silent a lot of the time and it's very awkward. As I showed in Part 3 or my series about downgrades, GSG fked up the ambient sounds. Many parts of the city are dead silent.

    improving the AI would ruin GTA 3 imo, it's one of my favourites BECAUSE the AI is dumb as rocks😭it honestly makes for more funny moments from just free-roaming than any other game. And those "random gang wars" are supposed to happen thru the context of the story & they don't randomly chase Claude, again they chase you (and kill you) according to your progression within the story.

    • @CinematicSeriesGaming

      By the end of the game, almost every single gang member automatically homes in on you and starts attacking you, regardless of what you do or if you're in a vehicle. It's quite ridiculous.

    There really needs to be a better definition types for remasters so i have a better idea what im buying. Not sure how this trilogy would be classed as. But it comes off like painting over the old paint and changing some interior stuff in a car, putting new lights and speakers but barely touching the engine and those tweeks to the engine makes the engine opererate odd at times. This GTA trilogy really need a complete rebuild using GTA 5 GTA 6 game engines and game making methods. Though reusing certain assets like the voice acting would be preferred. But other assets like the city, objects, enviroment, overall gameplay mechanics, user interface would haft to be remade in better more modern-day ways. Basically remaking the GTA trilogy as if they are making GTA 5 or 6. But the story stuff characters and enviroment design stuff is allready laid out. Probably worth it to bring in whatever original cast is available to re-record voice lines.

SEGA forced the developers to rush the product, the people working were actually very passionate on doing the game and experienced..however sega just done them dirty.....and here? Just below low-tier persons that shouldn't touch theses games at all...remember...they DID that awful gta san andreas Xbox 360/PS3 port back in 2014 with NOBODY forcing them to rush...they are just bad in the end on EVERYTHING they touch

      With Origins i think fans just expected more after customizeable mods like AIR/S3Complete, while GTA players got something unplayable.
      Though they are both guilty of delisting classics wich is a way bigger crime than charging $60 for a glitchfest. Apperently you arent allowed to buy multiple versions in this age according to publishers.
      With Origins its not as bad unless you wanted to use mods on steam workshop and only owned some of the classic Sonic games. (like me) Still against it since its anti consumer.
      With GTA they just replaced gold with garbage and called it a day. DMCA'ed any fan willing to fix their game for free and made console players unable to complete their collection.
      I remember being amazed and having alot of respect for R* when i first learned you could buy and play PS2 games on PS4.

    To be fair, some of the "missing features" in GTA3 remaster, like swimming or climbing, can break the game in numerous ways, since the game was designed around Claude's unability to swim. Thus, simply transferring the feature from SA is a bad idea, as it requires a lot more consideration and testing. Thus, it presents significant time and budgetory constraints and can't be simply dismissed as "laziness". Overall, sure, the effort is extremely lazy on T2 part, as these remasters required a lot more manpower and time to be done properly, so the project was a lazy cash grab to begin with, long before it came to the actual development phase.

      Patch 1.04 introduced "partial sprint" for some reason. If you hold the sprint button instead of tapping it, Claude will sprint... but slower. And there's an annoying bug tied to this pointless change. After you start "partially sprinting", you can't start regular sprint by tapping the button. Your jog also becomes slower. You need to stop completely and start tapping again to fix this. It's really bizarre. In the original draft for Downgrades Part 3 I had a segment dedicated to this issue but I ended up cutting it. I didn't think it was interesting enough to spend 2 minutes on it. But now that I think about it, it could be a good topic for a short clickbaity video 🤣

    Y'all gotta stop blaming Grove Street Games, they were given a task that they had to achieve within a set amount of time. Blame Rockstar/Take-Two for not giving them a decent amount of time, giving them access to the RAGE engine or even just waiting for Unreal Engine 5 to come out to do it. You can't blame a studio with only 10-20 people when they were assigned to carry out their job. It's not their fault Rockstar were too lazy to work on it themselves or give GSG the proper & necessary tools to make efficient remasters. in my opinion, if they REALLY HAD to out-source the project, why couldn't they have just let GSG work on ONE game at a time. I'm sure people wouldn't have minded having more polished, better looking & performing versions of each game. GTA 3 in 2021, Vice City in 2022, San Andreas in 2024. The games could've looked different too, maybe they could've even used the new unreal engine 5 which was announced not too long after the Definitive Edition's came out. They could've handled this so much better but i don't feel right pinning the blame on a 20 person studio performing a job that was stupidly assigned to them by an equally stupid developer & company. I don't mind these versions...mainly because i don't mind the art direction & the re-worked shooting mechanics enabled me to FINALLY be able to beat III & Vice City. I've only played around an hour of SA Definitive Edition tho, THAT one you CAN blame on GSG coz there was definitely some dumbass decisions like certain character models where there's no excuse. 3 & Vice City are alright for me, i enjoy them.
