GTA V

Wow, it’s hardly any better.

Told ya that an UE4 port + overhaul was science fiction*. Not gonna shell out for this.

*but it is indeed running on UE according to gameranx

People have already mods for these games that make them look great.

From the trailer footage it seems to me that GTA 3 might be the most substantially updated, but it may be just because of the weather effects they showed.

Also I doubt it's running on UE. Why would they do that? Wouldn't it be much easier to use their own in-house engine? Unless they are planning to use UE5 for their next game, which is probably not coming anytime soon if they're dropping this now.

I don't think anyone would buy a 40$ or a 60$ remastered trilogy TBH

I guess download the mods while you can, 2K/Rockstar haven’t treated the community of fan/modders very well.

I had the same skepticism in terms of engine, but mine was in direct correlation of rumours of complete remakes. I didn’t see any logic in redoing all the assets, and porting to a different engine… when they have their own that frankly looks great.

I’ve run a couple of searches and here and there confirms it is running on UE. Articles mention the mobile games were built with Unreal… so I guess what we have is an upgraded porting of the mobile games ? (which I had totally forgotten they existed, now that I think of it, I believe I even bought one!)

Considering the price for latest AAA it might even look like a deal for some. For 25 I would have got it, if the graphical upgrades were more substantial.

San Andreas was one of my favorite GTA games, I'm actually curious what it looks like in the remastered trilogy :V

What the actual fuck

I'm just bummed that if you wanna play the old versions now, you gotta pirate them.

I installed san andreas on steam yesterday to see if my copy still worked. Looks like as long as you had it prior to the release of this pile of garbage you're still good.

This remaster trend is pissing me off to no end. If you're going to do it, do it properly and for the right reasons. Yes, money is always the main reason, these are businesses after all. But if that's the only reason, the ones greenlighting these disasters can fuck off.

Is there a term for those trashy websites that put out low-effort content like "Top 15 healthy foods you should be eating" or "20 indie games you should play right now" or "14 best Family Guy episodes" or any other article, filled with ads, which you never read but only skim through when you're interested in what the corporate superintelligence wants you to think?

You mean if you have the DVDs they won’t run ok on modern windows?

Wonder if would work through emulation, although that’s a big faff to setup.

Runs like shit on Win10, Win7 is good with some community fixes.

My PC doesn't even have a DVD drive anymore. Anyway, they retracted on that decision and the classic versions are back on the store, thankfully. (They have some amazing mods)

Just let GOG patch it greedy corp

I think the issue lies with the renderware engine license they don't have anymore.

I couldn’t find an official press but several articles report as official the use of UE. Basically they’ve remastered the mobile versions.

I believed it to be a UE wrapper around the original engine but that doesn't seem to be the case. Ignore me

So many companies these days that used to be untouchable like Rockstar are just releasing straight up crap. Not a great year for the industry at large
