Tech experts have determined Grand Theft Auto: Vice City's remaster is the best game in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition based on visuals and performance, but it sadly isn't very far ahead of the collection's other titles. Digital foundry previously evaluated how GTA 3 - The Definitive Edition runs on PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and last-gen consoles, as well as how different performance settings change how the game looks and functions, and the results weren't positive.
Although there was initial hype for the remasters GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas on modern hardware, GTA: Trilogy - Definitive Edition was met with an icy reception at release because of its visual changes and glitches. The PC version of GTA: The Trilogy was the subject of most backlash and media attention, with publisher Rockstar Games temporarily removing it from the Rockstar Launcher just days after launch. The remasters have since been restored and updated, and Rockstar is even letting people who purchased GTA: The Trilogy download classic versions of the GTA games for free as a public show of goodwill.
On Eurogamer, Digital Foundry has concluded its technical analysis of Grand Theft Auto: Trilogy - Definitive Edition with a review of the Vice City and San Andreas remasters. The Digital Foundry video compares how the remasters run on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, in addition to seeing how they measure up compared to GTA 3 - Definitive Edition. The experts deemed GTA: Vice City to be the title which made the best jump to modern hardware, with a major reason being the original game's art style matching more closely with Definitive Edition's updated visuals. Vice City only wins by a slim margin, though, as Digital Foundry notes the same technical issues plaguing the GTA 3 and San Andreas remasters are still present in Vice City - Definitive Edition.
In addition to reviewing the GTA: The Trilogy’s remasters of Vice City and San Andreas, Digital Foundry also took a brief look at the collections' updates that have rolled out in the two weeks since release. Unfortunately, none of the technical issues outlined in the GTA 3 comparison video seem to have been addressed so far, as these patches were in development prior to the remasters' launch and subsequent backlash. The latest GTA: San Andreas - Definitive Edition patch notes mention a fix for the game's maligned rain, but Digital Foundry says the weather effect appears to function similarly to how it did before the update.
Rockstar recently admitted that GTA: The Trilogy is below its standards and has promised to address player feedback with further updates in the future. While an official timetable for these updates hasn't been released yet, fixing the many issues plaguing Grand Theft Auto: Trilogy - Definitive Edition will likely be Rockstar and developer Grove Street Games’ top priority for the time being.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, and it will launch for iOS and Android in H1 2022.
