I know this may sound a bit too early to ask, but is there any reports on performance issues with the console versions? or FPS dips? I'm actually indecisive and deciding to either get this for my PS5/Xbox or my RTX 3080. Believe it or not.. I've never played any of these games before yet these screenshots are giving me a giggle hahaha.
yeah a user (maybe in the OT) was saying performance is very variable, "performance" mode not a consistent 60fps at all

It's just weird that GTA3 is one of the twenty most important games of all time and Rockstar seems to not care about it at all.

And only remastered it because they got super mad about people modding a game they cared about.

I've said before if you're out here buying these games sight unseen you a goofball. R* also knows most people want VC so will take the risk.

I'm thankful those of us on GP and PS Now can try out SA and GTA3 if we have a subscription.

It does have dips in the performance mode in PS5 at least, for what someone said here. On the streams it looked solid, but god knows I can't count frames between the 4 pixels of a Youtube stream lol

There was a gameplay video with a cheat code that lets you play as her that I am trying to find. That picture comes from that (the one in the post above).

The thing is, the gameplay model is worse than the original. The fact they remastered that one as well and it looks worse than the original is weird as hell.

Graphics are good but I hate the draw distance. You just shouldn't be able to see the other cities from one another. That was my big complaint with the old PC mods around draw distance. It ruins the tone of the game to see from Los Santos to Mt Chiliad and San Fran. Maybe like a sneak of the buildings or a sneak of the mountains, but you should be able to see the golden gate bridge from downtown Los Santos. I'll reserve my judgement to see if it really messes up the story of the game, like the whole point of being stuck in the woods as CJ in Part 2 is that you're lost and isolated "... Where the hell am I..." Fish out of water. Being able to climb a small hill and see into downtown is just not the point.

Like in RDR2, at the beginning you can see far off lights of towns and settlements if you go out of your way to climb the tallest mountains around. It's a hint of what's out there. But it doesn't give you a detailed view of the whole map.

Watchung a video it looks good from ground level. Walking out of CJ house at night after the first few handholding missions it doesn't lose the ambiance at all.

The white highlighting looks really bad when you lock on... Wonder why they did that. Looks bad. Especially when a guy is dead in the ground it's still highlighting them.

New map looks good I like that. New gps looks fine.

This is something I don't get:

Just use the same model? Why the heck did they remaster Claude two times and make him worse in SA anyway? At least use the same head...

Even GTA 5 has fog and it is a much better looking game...

What they could have done is do like the mod that adds lights from a distance on PC and keep the fog. That way it makes it more realistic and keeps the vibe.
Is this actually real!? Is that seriously the remaster on the bottom??
Yes sadly.

This game would have benefitted a lot from one of those "switch between remaster and original visuals" buttons, though I guess that's not easy to pull off technically.

My bet is GTA 3 Claude body would't match with San Andreas model and animatons so it was easier to just rework the model.
That's a fair point.

I think the biggest bummer for me is the face. They could have made them consistent as SA's looks like a different person. Claude basically has a poker face there so I doubt his head would have been an issue at least. The body can stay the same.

I played the Halo games recently and just used the old models. That first games remaster is bad compared to the original. Having that here would've been amazing.

Well it wouldn't be a Rockstar release without people nitpicking and overreacting at small things. Watched 30 minute videos of each game and they just look like 3 classic GTA games, haven't noticed any weirdness that get posted here. Even looks impressive at times especially at night with all headlight and street lamp shadows, fog and such.

sans bugs and mismatched menu sounds + fog in certain areas, these look pretty cool. i think if i didnt have all three PS2 copies physically + on PS4, i'd be less excited

edit: OH and pop in on the next gen versions, push that LOD/draw distance out and throw some fog on there

Yeah, that's not as bad.

My #1 complaint is the lack of Vice City menu SFX when playing VC. C'mon.

Yeah, the only disappointment I had before coming in here is that my favorite Gap Band song isn't included, but it also wasn't on the last release.

I'll try San Andreas tomorrow when it unlocks on Game Pass, but I'm definitely not feeling as optimistic as I was before seeing the videos and screenshots I saw today. Damn.

Honestly that looks pretty damn good. Don't know why R* is so cagey on the footage up to now but hey, whatever. And also, yeah, that draw distance is baller. It kinda outs the map as relatively small tho lol. The fog was always there to protect the game from that realization.

That's just how Rockstar is. They aren't like Ubisoft constantly assaulting you with media blitzes about their game.

Did they use the PC or mobile ports as the code basis for the remasters?

Comparison footage kind of highlights how modelling individual fingers doesn't work well when they don't animate either.
