We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Eh, no. Even if they used an older version of Unreal for the original games, it would still be a massive effort (the same reason why Bioware didn't upgrade ME:LE to Unreal 4). As far as I know, Rockstar used Renderware for the older games on PS2, which is a vastly different compared to Unreal. So yeah, if this story is true, they are remaking the games. Doesn't mean that they aren't able to import assets into Unreal or things like that, they're probably not starting from scratch.
But what about the music? That is the most important question. Without the original music I'm not interested.
The fuck? It's not common at all. Updating the engine to a newer version of the same one, sure. But GTA3-SA are built on renderware.
I've played the ever-loving fuck out of all 3 of these games - be a hard sell for me. I've 100% San Andreas, twice, so they'd have to seriously update and upgrade these games for me to be excited. Bluepoint-like remakes - I'm interested. Rockstar remasters - hmmm.
Well, I'd be interested in a up-to-date version of Vice City, but I have some concerns
- The article mentions staying true to the originals. If that means keeping the "lock-on" system and not updating the controls to be dual-analog then that is a huge mistake (IMO) and may kill any interest I have
- If they fuck up the soundtrack to VC in any way I'll be very annoyed.

Happens all the time. I was playing the Turok remaster last night and that was ported to Unity iirc.
Just because it's on Unreal doesn't mean it's a remake, it's probably going to use most of the same assets as the original games.
I'll watch the Digital Foundry video with interest when they come out but it would take more than a remaster for me to replay them.
The Red Dead stuff is so odd, considering they did so much work to accommodate a remake of it within 2. The whole land mass is built, the protagonist is rigged, they modeled several of the main characters and brought back the voice actors for RDO. It seems like they'd need to implement the missions and redo the cutscenes and they're there. But what do I know about game development. I'm sure I'm missing something big and obvious.
Same. I mean look at the playlist for this singular station alone.
nvm I forgot about this old ass joke. 💀
dude i can't believe this is happening
what the hell? these are three of my favourite games of all time so i'm excited but at the same time i have so many questions like
- will they change the controls?
- is the change to unreal engine going to change the atmosphere of the game?
- will all games have the full OG soundtrack?

Likely for ease of porting between platforms, also might be easier to move work from the original engine over to UE than to a proprietary engine like RAGE
The thing that doesn't make sense to me is, if it is ported to unreal then that would mean a lot of code remaking and other stuff.
GTA San Andreas is a really big game. Anybody who modded the game knows just how much stuff there is in the game. Redoing all that stuff for a simple remaster sounds really pointless for the amount of effort. Not to mention, if what the article says is true, then why wouldn't they just go all the way if they are remaking it? Sounds like it will be a very similiar game to the original. Graphics and all aside from some improvement here and there.

Some of my favorite features I seen in new games are QOL. Going from Borderlands 2 to 3 was massive that way enough that I'd love for them to rebuild the old BL games in the BL3 engine with some of the QOL stuff. Same goes for when I played through the Mass Effect games on the XB360. The QOL changes between games were really big.
Hopefully they pick up some nice QOL changes for these GTA rebuilds.
Mildly interested. Haven't played them in ages and VC and also SA were rather epic back then. Still before I'm in for a remaster I must find a reason to play a technically old game.
Zelnick said that they won't do simple remasters

This. I need the full soundtracks which I'd be surprised if they included them.
As much as I'm excited, I would put money on these not having aged well. The mission design was absolutely god awful if I remember correctly: jam packed with insta mission fail states which then made you restart the entire thing. WIll be good for a laugh though - VC was great fun.
Great unless it's just a just a remaster
