You can tell that the new devs who worked on this update (they ditched Groove street game) really are passionate about the OG, still works to be done but well done so far.
Yeah. Although they couldve done more with this update, they are better than GSG. But all they did was remove their name on the menu, so they still could be responsible for this update
The fault was at Rockstar and Take Two to give such a huge task to a small dev company that only ported to mobile. They should have done the work themselves.
Team Bondi? Naaah, they're pretty inactive rn, it's most probably Double Eleven Studios that's working on this rn. Judging by how good RDR1 port turned out they're pretty trusted by Rockstar.
@@michuXYZ I imagine that if it had been D11 they would have had credits like with RDR1, my guess is that this patch was made by Video Games Deluxe, the same company that worked on the mobile port, at least it is what some people think (included myself)
Game was done by Grove Street Games. But they took the name off the game with this update too. Rockstar didn't like working with them and probably has a fallout and removed their logo from the game.
It’s kind of sad that we’re getting excited about improvements that should’ve been there from day one for it to be a truly definitive edition. This is just how modern gaming is nowadays. We’re hyped about bug fixes instead of new and exciting features... Kinda sucks. "better late than never" I suppose.
Hopefully you refunded your purchase as i did. Nowhere this should have deserved any money. They seem to have tried to test how far they can go with spending the least amount of money before it fires back. Better play the og games with wonderful mods and support those creators then this mess that seems not like even made from a human.
@IHaveBadWiFiBro The lesson to learn here, is that you should never pre-order a game or buy it day one. You wait its release, hear about the reviews then decide, or you could just wait for the prices to lower then purchase
Now this feels like a mix with the original PS2 version and the remaster, even if stills looks off with the models for example it's a really good improvement
@@sanchezs7614 you can blame them, but I would much rather blame rockstar and take-two. they were perfectly ok with letting a team of 20-21 employees handle the remaster of not 1, but 3 of their most ambitious games in terms of scale probably with an also very absurd deadline. whatever grove street games did is just the logical result.
I think they worked so much fixing the colours bc it really looks so amazing and nostalgic I am so grateful they fixed a lot of thing especially with the colours of this game
It's nice to see rockstar is actually fixing the game but it still needs more patches hopefully there will be more updates and patches so we can play an actual definitive edition
@@StrizAtmaybe see a mixture of the ps2 model and the current model. In some of the current one, he does look like he is angry like how Sonny tells him to calm down.
Well, part of it was their fault (Rockstar) for giving such a big project to the poor people at Groove Street Games, who were a company with only a few employees.
@@Gutek524 Anyone in their right mind know GSG is literally a studio with 20 employees. No one is that dumb to give them the task of remastering the game expect for Take Two and Rockstar.
I made it most of the way through your video before I noticed the captions you were adding. They matched the San Andreas captions so well that my brain just filtered it out lol
I don't see Rockstar talking about that patch on they Newswire or anything simular. They seem to be very quiet about that shameful project. Hopefully they feel ashamed. I hope there were some heads rolling after that disaster to not happen again.
Still wanting them to add blood affects instead of just the blood pile that happens when NPC’s are dead on the floor. Like blood drops from the old ones looked so much better. Feel like they toned down the blood and gore in these versions
@@r-rod8116 Should I remind you of the glaring clipping issues that the OG game has? Even GTA 5 is riddled with out of bounds issues. Stop complaining.
I wish someone would actually fix the clothing and add open/close options to coats/vests, hat tilting, and off-hand holster to the side to RDR2..... where the love at?
I literally started trophy 🏆 hunting on San Andreas and it updated. Out of all the luck classic lighting and the reflections are sweet. PS5 PRO and this is what I’m playing. 😂😂😂
Nice! I am working on my own version and learned a few things from yours. I will be sure to credit you in the description. May I ask, how did you get footage of the pre-updated game for before and after?
I really really hope it isn’t just a „see guys we started to care again, prepare your wallets for gta 6 after that we don’t give a fuf again.“ it’s a *definitive* move in the right direction.
They've finally fixed the garage shutter sounds. There are some downsides to the new lighting though...you can see the moon clearly at midday in clear weather now on GTA 3. When you switch back to the original lighting it's no longer visible.
GTA III finally looks cold and unpleasant and Vice City finally looks warm and inviting. Without the Classic Filter's, the whole atmosphere of each game is removed.
What a coincidence. I finally picked up the trilogy last week for the Switch and yet have to play it. I played through the original games on PC like 15 years ago and I played the mobile releases when they came out. Hope they run at a stable 30 fps on the Switch on the go.
The water and fog looks similar to GTA V honestly I hope they rework the textures next to make them more photorealistic, maybe add bump maps on roofs to give the illusion of 3D tiles
Classic Lighting is by far my favorite feature that was added, you could not differentiate the three games at all in terms of graphics, so Classic Lighting is extraordinary and adds the same vibe you get from the three different games. Also all these glitches should have been absent and missing details should have been there since the game was released, if they were this would have probably been The Game of The Year.
They better have this for consoles here far from too long because the consoles deserved this I'm just saying for the PS4 and the Xbox One the PS5 the Xbox series X/S and the Nintendo Switch come on Rockstar Games
Finally, Rockstar is doing something right! They're taking gamers seriously and proving they've learned from Ubisoft's mistakes. Without the gamers, there are no games. It's awesome to see them focusing on what really matters
if this latest patch was what we got on release it would’ve been good still not worth the amount they were charging but it would have been okay still can’t believe they called a lazy port and slight graphic change the “definitive edition” it should have been like the mafia definitive edition a complete overhaul but rockstars greed knows no bounds
Did they fix the Army vehicles like the Humvee, Barracks being red (for whatever reason lol!?) And not tan like it should be, and did they fix the broken garage door sound effects looping wrongly, I had to get community fixes from nexus mods to fix those issues, like Army vehicles shouldn't be red thought it'd be obvious lol, anyone know if they fixed those two things!?
Can anyone elaborate on how close it is to the classic versions? Never played any of the games in this collection but they’ve been on my radar for some time now. Lighting looks improved but I’m hearing the models may still be off? How bad are they? Is it at least playable now or is their still potential fixes they could do?
Developers, do color correction under LSD or other psychedelics? It seems that all this looks more disgusting than some fifth-grader put together an original assembly with mods! But in general, guys, I will say, It all looks disgusting, despite the fact that there is tracing and color correction! Let's say, with the same success they could have added the engine from the latest part of Battlefield to Minecraft. The developers decided to raise money on an old forgotten dead project, which we honor and love in its original form. Waiting for GTA 6!
@@MrGTAmodsgerman id still take the risk , the old remaster trilogy sucked at release but now we have a easy remaster way that's able to be played for those games now, I'd like the same for gta 4
I’m glad they did that. I think GTA3 needs a crouch feature and to walk while crouching. And when saving the game in safe houses you get to go in the interior like in LCS. And also jump out of a moving vehicle.
I prefer GTA: San Andreas over the Definitive Edition because, although the remastered graphics attempt to resemble GTA V, the physics remain largely unchanged from the original game. This mix of modern visuals with outdated mechanics feels mismatched. Rather than just upgrading the graphics, I think Rockstar could have focused on enhancing some of the original gameplay elements. Fixing longstanding issues, refining the physics engine, and improving features like mini-map navigation would have created a smoother experience. A true remaster should elevate the game’s playability along with its visuals. Moreover, one thing the old GTA: San Andreas still has that the new edition lacks is nostalgia. The original game carries a special charm, from its music to its quirks, that new remasters can't quite replicate. It’s not just about playing the game; it’s about reliving those memories, and no matter how much better the graphics get, that nostalgia is hard to replace
