It lives rent free in modern western developers heads, almost everything they do is to distance themselves from the perceived "Gamer Gate" type of gamers, like the Saints Row reboot.
This is amazing, making billions off of shark cards for 3 console generations and the first actual non-DLC thing they have to release in years turns out to be a broken remaster of a game that already had a functional remaster.
That's one of the bitter ironies is when these companies make shitloads of money from something easy like that, it doesn't free them up to make riskier, more innovative games, it makes them become lazy and creatively bankrupt.
Grand Theft Auto V is the most successful thing in entertainment history and now they're putting out literal shovelware tier garbage like this remaster, stop and let that sink in.
This "remaster" is astonishingly poor. The only way I can tell it's an actual official product and not some indian/chinese bootleg on the android store is the lack of copyright infringing material and desparate attempts to mimic popular fads.
He lets the videos do the talking. I would hope he will make a video on this trilogy release. There's plenty of footage out there explaining the many issues this release has. And it's only been a couple days.
What an absolute sad state of affairs, the bare minimum was too hard for these people. Call me when the industry has another ET crash so I can start caring again.
So uh have any game journos given this pile of shit 8s and 9s in their paid adverts reviews yet? Was hoping to laugh at some obvious shills but maybe R* decided to ride this one on the name and nostalgia alone.
God, someone at that company must seriously hate these games. Thats the only way to explain how you fuck up ports of 20 year old games so bad that it makes silent hill 2 HD look good.
Archive at the moment is not working for me for the time being, but I suspect that videos like these are being mass downvoted because they’re smaller channels, and ignoring real constructive criticism like this in favor of listening to their favor e-celebs and YouTubers just tell them this “remastered trilogy” is good just because.
