They're getting hyped for a remaster that, if it is real, will just be some shitty "4K" models with absolutely no QOL improvements and probably a bunch of music missing I bet.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the logic of mods for 20+ year old games affecting their economy. If anything, mods would help with sales. You need a proper copy of the game to be able to mod it. The community WANTS to support these games, but T2 doesn't like it.
I don't even want a "remaster" or "remake" of those games. Just update them to run on modern hardware.

I don't follow twitch tards at all, but this dudes clips have started showing up on YouTube. From what I gather he is another GTA V streamer who is playing GTA III and looks like an absolute retard while doing so.
Seriously I beat this game at age 13. This map is small how the fuck does this idiot manage to find his way around IRL if he can't navigate Staunton island?

Frankly GTA III plays like shit compared to games like Mafia and Max Payne yet somehow people can't play those two either these days.

The GTA Remastered Trilogy Appears To Be Real, And Coming To Switch
Rockstar is also bringing the games to PS5 and Xbox consoles, naturally
kotaku.com
After months of rumors and speculation, Kotaku has learned from sources that Rockstar Games may be remastering three classic Grand Theft Auto games. Currently, it appears these games will be released later this fall for a multitude of platforms, including the portable Nintendo Switch.
For the past year, rumors have swirled on Twitter, Reddit, and various message boards that Rockstar is working on remakes or remasters of classic, PS2-era Grand Theft Auto titles. These rumors only grew in popularity as Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, used DMCA takedowns to remove classic GTA mods from the internet while announcing that the publisher had three remastered games in development. While Kotaku can’t confirm what all of those teased remastered titles specifically are, we can confirm via corroborating details from three sources that GTA remasters are currently in the final stages of development.
Kotaku has reached out to Rockstar about these remastered games and future GTA re-releases. But our sources have, so far, had reliable track records that have alerted us to updates in GTA Online and Red Dead Online weeks if not months in advance.
According to these sources, Rockstar is actively developing remastered versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. All three of these games are being remastered using Unreal Engine and will be a mix of “new and old graphics.” One source who claims to have seen a snippet of the games in action said that the visuals reminded them of a heavily-modded version of a classic GTA title. The UI for the games are being updated too, but will retain the same classic style. No details were shared about gameplay, but Kotaku has been told these remakes are trying to stay true to the PS2-era GTA games as much as possible.
Sources confirmed that Rockstar Dundee, a Scottish outpost and one of the newest studios at the company, is leading the charge on developing the remakes. Another source explained that the studio is heavily involved in not just the remasters, but is even helping Rockstar on developing the next-gen GTA V ports that are due out later this year. This lines up with information I had heard last year, after the studio was purchased by Rockstar Games. Before becoming Rockstar Dundee, the studio was Ruffian games and had previously worked on Crackdown 2, Crackdown 3 and assisted with development on the Master Chief Collection.
Plans around these remastered GTA titles have shifted quite a bit over the last year as a result of the ongoing covid-19 pandemic, and they might continue to do so until things are officially announced. Originally, it seemed that these remakes were going to be packaged together and given to players who purchased the upcoming next-gen ports of GTA V and GTA Online as a sort of bonus or “thank you gift” from Rockstar. Then plans changed, and the remastered trilogy was scheduled to be released earlier this year. However, plans have changed again, and now the remastered titles are planned to launch around late October or early November for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PC, Stadia, and mobile phones.
It appears the PC and mobile ports might slip to next year as Rockstar focuses on developing the console ports first. While some might have expected Rockstar to space these releases out, if not releasing them on each games’ respective 20 year anniversary, sources told me that this isn’t the current plan. Instead, it seems all three games are to be released in one collected package that may only be sold digitally.
For fans who are more interested in other classic Rockstar games getting remastered and rereleased, sources tell me that Rockstar has plans to develop new ports of games like Red Dead Redemption. But the future of these remastered games depends on how well these initial re-releases sell.
However, for now, Rockstar is focused on getting these three remastered Grand Theft Auto games out the door alongside the GTA V next-gen ports. Dundee is leading development, and many other studios across Rockstar’s vast network of teams are also pitching in on both projects. According to one source, everyone shifting to support these titles is one major reason why Red Dead Online has seen fewer and smaller updates. But if all of this pans out it might be a very exciting year for fans of classic GTA games.

Scratch that, if they did release a remaster trilogy the same time as GTA V Expanded and Enhanced or whatever they are calling it, it will surely be a crappy remaster like that Xbox 360 version of San Andreas was.

Assuming that this is all true, I have precisely three hopes for this collection:
Get the shooting of all three games to at least be on par with San Andreas, the shooting in III and Vice City is horrid.
Restore the cut music, or at least replace them with new songs that fit the era. They better not cut even more out.
For the love of all that is holy, don't release it in a busted state like the 360 San Andreas port, treat these classics well.

I'm gonna eagerly await more info. If true, this is something I've wanted for close to a decade. They better include quality of life improvements, but really, I know I'm gonna buy it so I better take what I can get.

This is pretty big news if these remasters are coming to switch. A Mainline GTA game has NEVER been on a Nintendo home console before. I've heard theories stating that DMA basically said fuck Nintendo after they screwed them on Body Harvest. This resulted in them being bought out by Gremlin and then Take 2. They've made ports for the GBC, GBA, and DS.
I'm willing to bet Rockstar is gonna fuck these ports up. I'd love it if they just ported the first two games to the SA engine, or on par with it. After watching Joel's GTA III streams, there's some fuckery with the cars in GTA III. not sure what.

It makes sense assuming they're just going to port the old Renderware games over. It's not going to be a remake like the retards have been yelling about, just the three games ported over basically 1:1 with visual (((improvements))) and you better pray that Rockstar doesn't fuck it up like they have with literally every PC port of theirs since GTA III.
