"The new generation versions of GTAV will feature a range of technical improvements, visual upgrades and performance enhancements to take full advantage of the latest hardware, making the game more beautiful and more responsive than ever," Rockstar said.

On top of that, Rockstar is celebrating the 20th anniversary of GTA III with "even more fun surprises," some of which will be specifically for GTA Online. There have been rumors of a GTA III remaster or remake, but it's too soon to say if that will happen.

Seems interesting. Can't wait to see if GTA 3 gets a Nintendo Switch release.

 

[Moonjt9]

Sounds like gta3 heists in gta online or something like that.

I'm interested in seeing how gta5 looks on ps5, but I'm not going to play through it again.

 

[kikkis]

I was gonna make joke about quad dippping on this game but then i realized that i have actually bought it on three platforms.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

I already bought it on PS3 and PS4.

I'm not gonna buy it a third time.

Still curious about the enhancements for the current gen systems.

 

[stranno]

Considering the claim against the re3 project, there could be a remaster or remake in progress

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Love how they are now saying they will be picking up on implementing car meets into GTA Online. This could be a good way to get a car meet that doesn't get nuked by flying bikes.

 

[ZehDon]

If Rockstar just dumps GTAIII stuff into GTAOnline, and we don't get a decent re-release of the PS2 trilogy, I'll be rather upset.

 

[Entroyp]

I'll wait for the PS6 version.

 

[ManaByte]

We believe in generations, which means re-buying GTAV every generation.

 

[AV]

"fun surprises" is not how you'd tease something like a real GTA 3 remake. It's gonna be available on PS5, probably with a resolution and/or framerate bump, and that's it.

I say this every time someone brings it up, you can't just bring the GTA 3 content into a modern GTA engine and call it a day, it would unbalance the entire game. It would need to be a total ground-up affair that takes into account modern (Rockstar) game design.

 

[@gkTH]

This one game with 3 console generations?
What an impressive model.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I have a feeling that Liberty City will be getting added into GTA Online for the GTA 3 anniversary.

The cease and desist to the mod team making it a few years ago was big news.

Something like GTA 3 story missions but with a GTA Online wrapper. A kin to RDR Online and the co-op story missions in that game.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Damn, the third generation of GTA5?

 

[Dusktildawn48]

I'm gonna go ahead and assume it won't be free for previous owners.

 

[Aesius]

GTA 3 is so underrated. It seems like it was forgotten after Vice City and San Andreas came out. But I love the atmosphere in that game. It's moodier and darker than any other 3D entry, while not taking itself as seriously as 4.

 

[PuppetMaster]

No Rockstar. Not this time.

I already bought your damn game twice.

 

[OrionNebula]

Seems like a good time to play this for the first time ever

 

[Flabagast]

I am confused, is the upgrade free for PS4/ Xone version owners?

 

[rodrigolfp]

I'll wait for the PS6 version.

But there will be PS7 version too.

 

[p_xavier]

It's akin to play Vice City in the late 80s and still be playing it when the real Vice City was out.

 

[OrionNebula]

But there will be PS7 version too.

I bet it'll still be in the top 20 sales chart at that time, too

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

I am confused, is the upgrade free for PS4/ Xone version owners?

Haha no

 

[cormack12]

GTA Online will release in November and is exclusive to PayStation players fr the first three months. So Xbox players aren't getting until Jan 2022? wtf.

 

[AJUMP23]

Another version of GTA5.....Make something new Rockstar.

Where is table tennis?

 

[Farawayfromhell]

I bought the limited edition for 360, the digital standard edition for Xbox One but I'm not going to buy it again, sorry R *, I love you, but it seems like a joke now.

 

[Aesius]

It's akin to play Vice City in the late 80s and still be playing it when the real Vice City was out.

It's an even bigger time gap now. Vice City was set in 86 and released in 02. GTA 3 is set in 2001, so it's 20 years later.

Which is crazy because the aesthetic of GTA 3 isn't horribly outdated, while 1986 looked incredibly antiquated and decidedly time capsule-ish just 16 years later.

 

[Certinty]

I am confused, is the upgrade free for PS4/ Xone version owners?

Rockstar didn't give free upgrades to the PS4/XO versions of the game just 14 months after the PS3/360 launch. No way in hell were they giving free upgrades for the PS5/XSX version 7 years after the last console version of the game.

 

[Ramz87]

I thought PlayStation had timed exclusivity?

 

[roosnam1980]

VERSION

 

[cormack12]

I thought PlayStation had timed exclusivity?

Only on standalone GTA:O

 

[spartan30gr]

Please stop buying this type of shit remaster games.

 

[Negotiator101]

I mean it's gonna have to be better than the PC version to warrant another purchase, what feasibility could they do improve it?

 

[Dries]

Will these improvements also appear on PC? I'm hoping for some Ray tracing goodness.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

I'm too old for online mode, so I'm out.

 

[PendekarRajawali]

Still will be on top 10 charts.

 

[SJRB]

November?!?!?!

Holy shit dude, what have they been doing all this time?

 

[namekuseijin]

hopefully VR mode for psvr2 just a few months later...

crazy that it would take them this long and Skyrim not...

 

[Skifi28]

If it's free sure, if not meh.

 

[Salz01]

I wish they would clarify if it's an update to existing, some sort of paid upgrade or full retail 59.99

 

[BigLee74]

Game has legs, huh? I might play it again, if it gets a 60fps upgrade, and it's cheap as chips.

it's been a good 7 years since I last played it

 

[Calverz]

Seriously fuck off. Can we get a new GTA already? Fuckin hell. Already went a whole generation with no new GTA games.

 

[Orta]

Thanks but no thanks. Give us a 3 & VC remaster you boring bastards.

 

[ZywyPL]

R* is mad that GTA5 is slowly but surely disappearing from the sales charts and want to regain the throne.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Something tells me it will flop this time. Enough is enough.

 

[MMaRsu]

GTA V is not 60fps on PS4/Xbox One?

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

so this is just for consoles? what about PC?

or is the console versions still gonna be inferior to PC? i hope they update PC with raytracing. that'd kick ass.

GTA V is not 60fps on PS4/Xbox One?

30fps lmao. been playing it at 80-140fps on PC. it was a shock (not really but to my eyes it was) when i played it on PS4 and found out it was 30fps.

 

[Represent.]

God I hope this fails miserably.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I mean it's gonna have to be better than the PC version to warrant another purchase, what feasibility could they do improve it?

It's going to be applied to the PC version. Might see more grafix effects. LOL
