And if anybody had any copium left in the tank hoping that they weren't going to make this trilogy "suitable for modern audiences", well, there you go.

Less music, more censorship is all this cash grab is going to be. Let's be honest. Can't wait to see how covered up Catalina will be.

Wonder what they're going to do about this:

Spoiler: more wrongthink

 

[The Last Stand]

Looks like headshots are coming back to III.

Players have the ability to shoot or run over civilians, though such action results in police pursuit, as players' wanted level increases. Combat can be frenetic at times, highlighted by gunfire, explosions, cries of pain, and blood-pooling effects. Some weapon attacks result in decapitation and blood splatter; one mission prompts players to kill gang members by decapitating them via a sniper rifle.

Decapitation from III was removed initially because of 9/11 and subsequent releases because of the skeleton changes from Vice City onward.

 

[Dom Cruise]

It doesn't look THAT bad or at least the environments look ok, the character models are definitely wonky.

And 60$ is too steep a price, this should only be 40$.

 

[X Pac Heat]

They made the boobies on the sign in Las Venturas look smaller too.

Guessing we're not going to hear Candy Suxxx orgasm just like in the Japanese version now.

In his trailer he had a confederate flag poster that said "heritage, not hate" so he wasn't trying to be racist and it's a game set in 1986, long before the modern controversy, but you can't expect retards to understand any nuance.

 

[The Last Stand]

GTA III will be available on PSNow. San Andreas will be available on Game Pass. Probably only for a couple months for publicity.

Okay, so the definitive editions are separate entities.

Since many people on YouTube are revisiting the GTA trilogy, R* should add a "streamer mode" in their options menus. YouTube does not like music playing in the background, have an option to mute it even during cutscenes.

Cool, so I could try San Andreas out to give some impressions on it for you guys.

Oh, I thought you meant trailer like video trailer. I forgot Phil lived in a trailer in VC.

Fun fact: Phil's trailer is one of Vic Vance's safehouses in VCS. He keeps it clean.

Holy Shit. This looks awful, but Zoomers will fucking love it. Fortnite taking over baby

They seriously did not understand that this was meant as satire.

The train doesn't even stay on the tracks.

All you had to do was reprogram the train to make it look like it is a form of real travel, Rockstar!

They did to poor Phil what Chris Rock did to unsuspecting Southerners by making a Confederate flag look less like a flag:

Meanwhile, I’m concerned as to what they’ll do to Candy Suxxx

This is going to be even more embarrassing if they touch Vice City Stories. Does this store just become another Ammu Nation?
Does the (hilarious) part where Vic and Lance get tricked into going into a gay nazi biker bar just get cut entirely?

Pretty weak, I used to think Rockstar was so monolithic they just didn't give a shit about this sort of thing.

The Phil Collins missions would likely get axed.

Dude, the Housers left and so did most anyone else worth anything. All they got now are interns and diversity hires. I don't know why anyone expected anything different.

If they did, then I’m lucky I managed to buy the physical PSP versions when they were on sale.

Spoiler

Granted it was in a Wal-Mart, but the thought still counts.

I'm worried what they'll do to any T&A, the strippers, the hookers, the bikini girls in Vice City, will some of them still wear thongs? I would hope even the biggest SJW retard would understand why it's ok to show women in thong swimwear on a beach in fucking Florida but there's this mindset that you're simply not allowed to have sexy women in video games anymore no matter the context.

Dude, the Housers left and so did most anyone else worth anything. All they got now are interns and diversity hires. I don't know why anyone expected anything different.

They're both gone? I thought only one left.

I know Lazlow is also gone, so the Rockstar we knew is no more, they had a pretty good run all things considered but it sucks that it didn't even last until GTAIII turned 20, it also sucks that we didn't get one last GTA with them nor a sequel to Bully.

IIRC, Phil's shirt was changed to a skull shirt in Vice City Stories, the same game that had a Rebel Flag-waving redneck gang and literally gay Nazi bikers.

Now, I could be wrong in remembering that, mind you. But I'd like to think they won't go too woke. Especially if they're mostly reusing the same dialogue and plotlines from the PS2 era but with new graphics and the shitty trigger driving controls from GTA IV and GTA V.

If a physical PS4 copy of this game goes on sale for $30 or $40, then maybe I'll get a copy of it if the gameplay is decent enough and they don't butcher the soundtrack too badly. Maybe.

I’m surprised how no one on this thread mentioned that in the trailer they also did a hip hop, trap style beat to a classical/opera song that was originally made for the Mafia in GTA III.

We have really gone full circle thinking that Italian mobsters will be listening to “GTA OPERA TRAP TYPE BEAT” instrumentals while ordering hits on their competition.

Wasn't that used in the original GTA III 10th anniversary trailers?

I swear I've heard it before

Sam Houser is still with Rockstar but he is mostly there in name only, all of his focus is now on his record label.

Yeah, but they kept the original song in tact:

The new, updated version has them doing a remix with a trap like beat for the Definitive Edition.

Yeah but I swear I've heard it before this, but I just can't place where. Maybe not this exact version but something similar.

Edit: It's even on Youtube from 2012

He just had a different outfit, like a sleeveless jacket, facial hair as well. Pretty sure it was just a stylistic choice to reflect a younger character, like Umberto being clad in leather as well.

Phil in the trailer has the same outfit as he did in Vice City, but with a dumb corny skull instead of stars and bars.
