Personally, I agree with both those points, and I’d argue for a third: why bother with GTA when Rockstar could have remastered Max Payne? From a preservation standpoint, even if they’re inferior versions of these three games, it feels like Rockstar are removing part of history, but these versions were also cheaper, so forcing players to spend almost double on games they may already own doesn’t sit right. However, the more important point of contention for many is that Rockstar themselves have said that the older versions of all three games are getting removed from digital storefronts in favour of the new versions, which sucks. The driving still works, but the lock-on shooting mechanics don’t have the same impact that modern games do.

And let’s be clear, all three of those GTA games would need improvements, as the graphics are a bit of a visual mess, and the gameplay feels stiff and wooden.

Compiling some of the series’ greatest hits (GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas) seems like a bit of a slam dunk move from Rockstar and Take-Two, though there’s some issues with the plan that feel like sticking points right out of the gate.įirstly, the rumoured price point for the Trilogy is around £70/$70, which frankly seems ridiculous for what is essentially a collection of PS2 games that, as far as we know, haven’t undergone extensive improvements. Rockstar’s worst kept secret, the existence of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition, has finally been revealed.
