Grand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogy rumored for a fall release
New reports state that GTA 3, San Andreas, and Vice City will be getting a remaster this year.
The Grand Theft Auto series is undoubtedly one of the most significant and most influential in the gaming world. Look no further than the endless speculation and rabid fan discussions about a potential GTA 6 for clear evidence of that fact. Though the next proper installment is likely still far away, it seems that Rockstar Games may be taking a dive back into some of the most beloved entries in the series, as a GTA Remastered Trilogy is rumored to be launching this fall.
Rumors of a Grand Theft Auto trilogy remaster have been floating around for a while now, but new reports from Kotaku give them new credibility. According to the outlet’s sources, Rockstar Games will be bundling together remastered versions of GTA 3, San Andreas, and Vice City for a Fall 2021 release. These remasters will reportedly be done using Unreal Engine and will combine both old and new graphical assets. Lastly, these games will also be receiving updates to their UI.
The reported GTA Remastered Trilogy is set to launch this fall for PC and all home consoles, including the Switch. If true, this could be quite significant, as it would mark the first arrival of the Grand Theft Auto series on the Switch. We’ve seen GTA games come to Nintendo platforms before, and what better way to introduce the franchise to the company’s hybrid console than with three remasters of some of its most beloved games.
The GTA Remastered Trilogy should still be treated as a rumor, as Rockstar Games has yet to confirm its existence. With that in mind, the upcoming Gamescom Opening Night Live event could potentially be where we see the project announced. In any case, you’ll want to bookmark Shacknews’ Grand Theft Auto topic page for future updates to the story.

Hmmm. I could probably play 3 and Vice City again. It’s been a while.
-
Isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy SA but SA always felt a bit daunting by size.
-
-
I've tried to go back to VC many times because I love it so much, but they're pretty hard to play.
Wishes
1 - Updated Controls
2 - Soundtrack licensing :(
3 - Mission checkpoints
I'm 100% certain they're not going to be able to relicense the same soundtrack sadly -
-
does it remaster 4, thats all i really want
-
lol 4 was the the second to last one released; it must've only come out, what, two or three years ago tops?
-
all i know is i was still married when it came out, and that was like 13ish years ago
-
GTA 4 came out in 2008, dawg: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_IV
-
i was kinda hoping he was being sarcastic based on how many platforms they've 'made' gta v for
-
-
-
When do you think 5 came out?
-
-
-
I’ll play them all.
-
I just really hope the don’t use the crappy mobile ports as a code base.
And I hope they get 90% of the soundtracks.

New GTA Games Per Playstation generation
PS1: 2
PS2: 3
PS3: 2
PS4: 0
For PS5 they're actually going to start removing GTA games from existence -
Are they doing a full rework like they did with Mafia, or is this going to be one of those "slap some higher rez assets on this thing and call it a day" type deal?

Confession:
I've played every GTA. Only one I've finished is SA. I always mean to go back be never get around to it. -
The Unreal engine seems like a really poor choice. I'm expecting these to be clunky.
-
-
These are really for people that never played the original. Think of all the teens and early college kids who were in diapers when these games released. If I was them, I'd be excited to try these out in remastered form.

They lost songs in IV for certain. And VC did have drop about 10 songs around 2021 for the Steam version. https://www.cinemablend.com/games/GTA-Vice-City-Back-Steam-Nearly-10-Songs-Removed-50206.html

I am sure they can work to negotiate permanent rights for songs. Eg at the time GTA VC/SA were made they probably never ever thought they would have to worry about rights failing and the impact of digital distribution on being able to stirp out songs that they lost licenses to. I think they were better prepared for GTA IV (the music stripping came 10 years after release)
