Strange for R* to use Unreal engine.

Also, wouldn't it have to be a remake if it's on a completely new engine? How do you just upgrade something that wasn't on Unreal to Unreal 4?

Mobile version is on unreal as far as I know, so maybe they are upgrading that version, just a wild guess.
 
Would rather get a decent remake of Vice City than remasters. But i will probably get the trilogy anyway. Hope they put some effort on the remaster tough. But looking at the effort they made for the "next gen" version of GTA5 im keeping my expectations low.
 
The question is how good do they look? Take-Two have been suing modders and sending private investigators to track people down so that they'll delete their mods for the old games.
 
Not saying that this is a bad thing.

But Rockstar had never made a game using another engine if not their proprietary one.

So its very weird
This is being done by Ruffian Games (who Rockstar bought last year), who have experience in Unreal.
 
Part of me is genuinely excited about these remasters. I didn't really care too much for GTA5, but the first mainline four I loved.

With that said, I really do wonder what's going to happen with GTA6. I get there's lots of people that love GTA5 online, but as someone that's been playing since the PS1 days, it doesn't sit well with me. Great story, compelling characters, and a world that's truly interactive is what I expect out of every release. GTA5 world wasn't nearly as interactive as I thought it could be and the story and characters didn't do it for me. The online focus could take away from the single player mode. We'll see though.

Hopefully, when the time comes, they'll knock it out of the park with GTA6. Until then, I wonder how well the older titles will hold up even with the new engine.
 
If it's a good remaster and they price it right, I might jump in. I've been craving 3D era GTA for some time now.
 
I do not look forward to music being removed or them keeping the cut version of Umberto Robina's rant on Hatians in a mission intro in Vice City. I wonder if that stuff can be modded back in or if the creator's lawyers will continue to hunt down modders that fix their mistakes?

Mechanically, San Andreas really does not need a remake...

They already basically said that 6 will be smaller at launch and be built upon. Dan Houser gone. Lazlow is gone. In terms of interactive storytelling RDR2 was their magnum opus, this will be the start of a new era.
 
Remaster? No thanks. Remake would be a different story.
It's an entirely different engine to the originals, isn't it? So not quite a remake, but more than a simple remaster.

This GTA Trilogy has got to be one of the worst kept secrets in a while, but I'm just glad it is coming.

Unreal Engine 4 would be dope, and I'd love to play Vice City in that engine.

I'm so excited can't wait to load into 3 and SA again hopefully the experience is enjoyable going to be odd to say the least.

Also I haven't seen forum signature images like that since 2006 holy shit memories!
 
Super excited for this, especially now hearing that they're being remade in a new(-ish) engine

I just hope R* don't shit the bed somehow
