Why didn't they just remaster it in the gta5 engine like all the mods they banned were doing with better results?
Would take much longer and damn well wouldn't be 3 games for $60.
Plus many might complain that they don't like how GTA V looks compared to the art style in the older 3. I think this looks fine minus the bugs and odd models, as in what they are going for makes sense, but the execution is just horrid. This needed a fuck ton more time and it seems like Rockstar just wanted a fall release, the fact that the digital version comes in November and boxed disk version comes in December literally tells me they didn't even have those disk pressed, but wanted to make money in the mean time or something.
This needed a good amount of months of development. I don't fault the team as they likely did the best job they could, I fault Rockstar for okaying the release or not giving them enough time, it is after all their IP.
I'd be fine with the 3 games looking like this, but playing better without bugs and correcting the odd character models and down the line I'd be fine with a solid remake of all 3 in a new engine, but each game being given the real time and budget needed to be fully remade ala Mafia 1, RE2 remake etc. I think its great to have both btw as many won't like how GTA V looks real and many won't like how the old ones look cartoony.
Give em both and be done with it lol
It's all in the wrist
Agreed completely. Rockstar allowing this to be put out is an even bigger shock then a team making a bad remake, it happens, but Rockstar has more then enough money to hold off on releasing shit until its actually done ie Red Dead Redemption 2 and clearly the ever elusive GTA VI.
They should have never pulled those games from the store, not this is all the shit they have to play lol So they need to patch this shit to oblivion and pour as much money and resources that they can to keep this game from ending up like a pile of shit for life lol I'm sure lots if not most of it will be addressed though
