GTA trilogy remaster graphics and gameplay enhancements revealed

At this point, Rockstar has confirmed the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy – Definitive Edition remastered set, containing upgraded versions of GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas. While the studio did not confirm the specific enhancements for these games with its initial announcement, a newly updated Rockstar support page does reveal what we can expect. 

The Grand Theft Auto Trilogy remasters will come with “new lighting and environmental upgrades, high-resolution textures, increased draw distances, Grand Theft Auto V-style controls and targeting, and much more”, the page teases. These enhancements will “bring these beloved worlds to life with all new levels of detail”.

As you might expect, Rockstar will be using this opportunity to push its own launcher again by offering a $10 discount to all launch-window buyers. At this point, the games are expected to launch in December for consoles and PC, so you'll have until the 5th of January to get the game at a slightly cheaper price directly through the Rockstar launcher.

Of course, pricing has already become a point of contention for this game. Recent rumours suggested that this remastered set will be very expensive, possibly even costing as much as £65.

KitGuru Says: The discount won't mean much if the trilogy is already so highly priced, but it is worth noting that no official announcements have been made yet regarding pricing or a specific release date. Are any of you hoping to pick up the GTA remastered trilogy later this year?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
