Underwater in the og version are also too bright in my opinion. It should be darker than on the surface, and draw distance should be more limited like in gta v.
Thank you. No one has posted an extensive enough video imo yet! You are the first to have one longer than 4 or 5 mins attempting to be first lol so seriously thank you!
All they have to do now is add all the trash back on the streets in all three games. And maybe even restore the soundtrack. That second one is a big maybe tho
can't restore vice city's soundtrack because Michael Jackson's songs on there and his entire music catalog is owned by Sony. That's the only game out of the 3 that had its soundtrack altered.
even then with subsequent ports of vice city the housers refused to re add Michael Jackson so who knows if their views changed but even back then they didn't bother.
@GrayWoIf i don't think it was the housers necessarily. It's mainly got to do with licensing. The licensing deal on the songs expired and it wasn't renewed hence why songs were taken out because rockstar didn't have permission to use those songs anymore.
Oh hey, they finished making the game. I think it's funny though that the original graphics for the remaster of SA are how the original PC version looked. While the updated version is how the original PS2 version looked; which is what people remember more and mod the PC version to look like anyway.
The OG PC port still looks better in terms of lighting and color grading than the DE version. The lighting and color grading of the PS2 are definitely the best, giving it a 90s feel.
PC version still had the unique weather and colors in each area, even if the colors didn't match PS2. Release DE did not have anything of the sort, the whole map looked like it was being rendered in some modeling program no matter where you go.
I'm genuinely glad to see this. Looks like a lot of great improvements. I've always considered these games to be Rockstar's proverbial crown jewels. Sure, they've made great games since... but Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas helped put them on the map and showcased such style and amazing game design. Depressed me that the "Definitive Edition" was outsourced and butchered by Grove Street Games. Didn't do the material justice. This... this is wonderful. So many bugs, glitches, and visual mistakes corrected. Hopefully there's a little more gas in the tank support-wise, because I'm loving all these improvements. Better late than never.
It is true that many of the game's bugs have been fixed, but some of the parts have been completely removed, the new underwater detail is very bad, the transparent glass of the shops has been removed and the roads have been covered again.
@@luckylucs95 Truly. There's an acceptable level of criticism. The last update was great. And honestly now the game looks way better than the original.
This would be a remaking of the game. This shouldn't be a remake. It should be only necessary graphical improvements. Also, you can add that with mod if you want since it is out of the scope of the DE.
@@Movieandgamefan100 Not really. A cover system would be very useless for the games, it wouldn't serve no purposes for the various missions or the overall gameplay at all. And Euphoria wouldn't work either, would be gamebreaking in a lot of ways.
@@StarEximus i have no desire to go back and play these games either way I have played all three hundreds of times so unless they radically change the gameplay.
just 1 more thing rockstar, you should bring back vertical control for the camera when using aircraft. It feels awkward being able to rotate horizontally but not vertically.
I wish they would have added a mission Reply feature to the update And I want them to nerf the Leone Family Mafiosos shotgun power near saint Mark’s Bistro
I agree with you the classic lighting doesn’t work too well with GTA3 . The color palette used for the original lighting fits the environment perfectly. It definitely sets the tone for the city vs the over saturated classic lighting. I like the gritty bluish look of the original lighting. All the other changes that were made are perfect though 👍🏾👍🏾. Another thing too they need to put the damn white wall tires back in GTA SA lol 😂
Gta3 still has an issue with the camera, its too static on the car. Im almost certain its due to the controller input. If you play the netflix mobile version without a controller the camera is more like the original game but if you play with a controller it goes static.
NeoGamer -The video Archive i think the 2024 version looks to dark i like the 2022 version better. Since these are older games and people want better colour there better of to play the original on xbox or ps2 but should use the retrotink or pc upscaler. But i actually have the xbox 1 version which the textures and lighting look good
I don't know about other characters, but they did fix a few animations for CJ as far as I can tell. But I just played around for a few minutes to see it, so I don't know about everything.
On steam (which is probably the only place you should buy this crap since you can mod it) its on sale every month at random for random amounts of time, i think this month they are gonna discount it for the autumn steam sale
I mean it still looks like a terrible HD texture mod that doesn't mesh well with the original assets and creates new glitches every 15 minutes, but hey now it has the correct color palettes so let's just consoome and be happy with it being slightly less trash.
yes but you’re able to purchase the ps4 version and play it in your ps5. i imagine it just unlocks the ps5 version if there are any differences but i haven’t tested it myself so i cannot confirm. worst case scenario the ps4 version was also fixed it seems so that’s a viable option if you’re interested in a physical version!
Looks like a downgrade :0 I expect to see fixed fake-interiors but instead they revert them back to flat textures (its ok for mobiles but not PC or modern consoles) Water is muddy, some models cut in SA underwater, gta 3 water splashes on fake water were nice addition, not its removed back to OG games. Also i miss that clouds, damn they was good (even with a lot video memory usage) What is good is the collision fixes, even with water and player is SA... but i still expected more since Netflix Mobile Version.
I don't know what causes me more discomfort. The sheer fact they released the game as they did in 2022, or the fact people actually bought it. I'm 35 so I already know I'm the oldest here, most intelligent, most disagreeable, but it's still annoying for me to witness you kids walk into these blatant traps. If the game was ready in 2022, why patch it in 2024? Because it wasn't ready. Yet they released it, and you all shilled for it. Thanks a lot guys.
ok first off i am not a fan of the blue haze i mean seeing it in the distance is ok but close up no thanks the worn tone in the begining intro is fine i perfer the modern look
@@KKPlaysGD I suppose this sort of thing is bound to be subjective, but in my eyes it's overstylized to the point of abject hideousness. The lighting is flat and overdone, and abrasive to the eyes.
It took them two years to fix Asuka's eyes.

All they had to do, was getting rid of grove street games
They need to fix her jacket

Much better now if only they would add all the removed songs back in

The underwater world seems to look better in older version of GTA San Andreas
Yeah, like what’s going on it’s an odd change
Yo también lo noté, se ve mejor en la versión de ps2.
Underwater in the og version are also too bright in my opinion. It should be darker than on the surface, and draw distance should be more limited like in gta v.
A step in the right direction but the street lamps still fall through the floor...
Thank you. No one has posted an extensive enough video imo yet! You are the first to have one longer than 4 or 5 mins attempting to be first lol so seriously thank you!
what they also really need to fix is to move the camera freely while flying with a plane
Yeah that's a mobile port leftover
@@XWXS2 Wdym kid?
yeah, not just with the planes, even on foot the camera auto-centering is annoying
5:21 underwater somehow looks worse than the 2022 version
Yes, but they now made it inspired to the ps2 version. The 2022 looked more realistic, but even the new one doesn't look bad imo
that green/orange filter is the best improvement
feels like the old days playing the ps2 version

They're the same animations as the originals
They still haven’t updated the physical copies yet
How often is this game on sale? It’s absolutely not worth a purchase at $60,
even with these “improvements” (that we can’t see at all here).
So you want more bugs and glitches or what?
What?
I use PSPrices to find out the interval in which the games I want to buy are on sale, it also notifies me about it.
