It looks bad now, and it will look bad in 10-20 years, and that’s what the character models in the trilogy come off as. It’s like a really poorly rendered CGI model thrown in a modern day movie. They’re ugly - very ugly - and provide no consistency between the environments and themselves. The characters and NPCs don’t fair any better, either, as they feel out of place - as if they’re plucked out of a completely different universe. In one instance you’ll be driving down a detailed city block, only to turn the corner and see super bland and texture-less environments. The Problem is, despite those environments looking good, there is no consistency. Buildings, streets, trees, cars, basically everything is now richer in details, and although not the most graphically impressive title, I do think the environments look great in some areas.
#Gta 3 10 year anniversary edition keeps crashing upgrade#
With these remasters, it would appear Grove Street Games (the studio behind these remasters) have decided to upgrade each game’s environments for a more “realistic” take. While the original GTA games have always had a bit of a cartoonish look, that was mostly due to the technical limitations of their time. Yes, it’s great to see that the visuals have “improved” from the original releases, but those improvements come at a heavy cost of losing the atmosphere of the originals with an art direction that is constantly at odds with itself.įor starter, the character models don’t mash with the environments at all. While that certainly sounds great, in actuality, what we got on a visual scale with these remasters is laughably some of the worst design decisions made for a remaster (possibly ever) that has more downs than ups. If it wasn’t clear from the announcement trailer, the GTA Trilogy – The Definitive Edition features graphical overhauls for the original three 3D GTA games in order to make them more appealing for the modern day gamer. Shiny New Graphics That Lose That Artistic Touch of the Originals
They may be called the Definitive Edition, but they’re far from being just that. Well, sadly, what should have been a trip down nostalgia alley, has instead turned into a bug-filled, poor replication, expensive money-grabbing attempt, that loses the soul of the originals.
So, of course the thought of having a newly refreshed version, built with modern gaming in mind, filled the room with much excitement. I have lots of fond memories playing the original trilogy on the PS2, and although they certainly haven’t aged as well as many would hope, they’re still very much fun titles to playthrough. After all, these were the titles that have defined the studio’s legacy over the last decades, with them continuing down the line with many more sequels and spin-offs. When news surfaced that Rockstar’s classic Grand Theft Auto titles were getting a re-release with improved graphics, gameplay, and frame-rate, there was much excitement to be had.
