2002 man: Morrowind, GTA VC, Mafia, Splinter Cell, Hitman 2, Metroid Prime, Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast (Underrated FPS Game), Warcraft 3, Medal of Honor, Spyro...... I mean, god damn!

Still think 2004 was a better year in terms of game released, but jebus.

We did live through the golden times definitely bro! So much improvement and creativity in just a few years time span.

i would be very surprised they would remaster using UE when they have their own tech and surely been upgrading it further for upcoming games. Unless they have abandoned it going forward but... 

What do you think?

It would make sense if they outsourced it to some other studio.

I think most of your favorite musical tracks wont be there because of expired contracts and copyrights.

Wonder if it will include the liberty city and vice city story spinoffs, always wanted to try them. Using ue4 means this is outsorced, so that prob means Rockstar is working on something new, phew

Also, they will censor the shit out of it like they did with steam releases.

That's what I thought as well when I read it... but GTA (4-onwards) is kinda distinctive for its physics-driven animation system, it would be weird to remaster them just for the graphics, and ignore* the "feel" of character movement we are now used to.

*Ignore in the sense I don't expect you can replicate that feel as closely on a completely different engine, and if you can... then what's the point on continuing developing the newer games on the RAGE engine.

btw what's the censorship on Steam? I have the original PC releases, GTA4 on Xbox, and GTA5 on Steam.

Ha! Beat me to it.

 Curious to see how it looks. Never got round to play SA, could potentially get it for PS4.

[Radu]

Yeah, also curious. I hope it will look somewhat comparable to those fan made videos:

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.
