As someone who owns both PS2 and XBOX versions of the trilogy while still playing the PS1 originals of the series, I’m not too sure what a GTA Trilogy Remastered will do to fans who are already getting tired that there’s no news regarding GTA VI yet.

Mostly if they stick this idea, they’ll probably remove or edit out scenes and certain musical cuts from the radio stations and missions that will make the experience sound bland and not too memorable for new GTA fans that want to see what the classics are like.

Plus I‘m not sure why they just don‘t remaster GTA IV for the PS5 and XBOX Series X consoles. It was at one point one of their greatest games ever made before V came along, even if it had less fun and less activities to do in the game. That seemed like a wasted opportunity, in my opinion.

If they do a game by game rollout of the PS2 games, IE one every year, they could probably get major money and publicity from the Switch users alone. GTA finally hits Nintendo would be a major headline and they can easily sell physical and digital copies of each game individually and make big money and milk the franchise's PS2 era stuff for a couple of years before even touching GTA 4 and it's sequels.

Which also means they can lay back and not have to worry about GTA VI for a long time.

Interesting strategy, but as far as video gaming goes, not a good job for people wanting a new release after waiting eight years since the last GTA installment (GTA V - 2013)

For what it's worth, Capcom did the same thing after they fucked up Resident Evil. Did a lengthy period of reissuing the series on the Gamecube to rebuild interest in the franchise prior to the release of RE4 after the CV/3 debacle damn near killed the franchise.

If the end game is Switch getting 6 or some version of GTA Online tied to 6, it gives them time to build things up so they can get the Nintendo cash cow base on the ground floor for GTA 6, especially if you have an eye towards the studio realizing that the PS/XB base can't grow any bigger but that there is an entire segment of the gaming base IE the Nintendo fans, who are just ripe for the plucking in terms of getting their cash separated from their wallet as far as GTA Online is concerned.

San Andreas is the perfect grand theft auto game

The piss poor music selection and bone headed decision to lock 90% of the talk radio stuff behind storyline progression keeps it from being perfect.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding you, but I doubt that the Switch would get GTA 6 or something similar. I doubt that V would be able to run on the Switch, even the last gen version. That would require GTA 6 to have cross platform play and be less intensive to run on multiple platforms.

R* games have a bad history on Nintendo platforms.

Random thought I keep having, but I would love to see a Bonnie and Clyde themed gta/rockstar game. Just rollin 30s cars around the dust bowl while doing heists

Technically GTA 3 was the Bonnie and Clyde scenario taken to it's conclusion in the modern times: Bonnie betrays Clyde and Clyde breaks out of jail to go on a roaring rampage of revenge.
 
Something I learned about Mafia hierachry from Liberty City Stories and IV: you could only move up the ladder if you're a full blown Italian.


Remember Phil Bell from IV? He's Irish but supposedly has a fairly high position in the Pegorino family.
