Perhaps these GTA titles were always like this, but some of the AI routines in each game are straight-up broken. To truly bring home how much of a disaster Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition really is, all three games are rife with random bugs and other oddities. Instead, it becomes a chore to try and navigate through these open worlds that are starting to feel ancient. Although there have been some tweaks to gunplay, inventory management, and other gameplay mechanics in all three titles, the work that was done wasn't even close to enough to make these games feel more palatable in 2021. For the most part, that goal fails miserably here with GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas. Other than a boost to visuals, the main aim of many remasters and remakes is to make games from yesteryear feel more accessible and playable in modern times. Even though a number of new graphical updates have been added to these titles, for games that are all roughly 20 years old to be unable to perform well on modern hardware is more than disappointing.īy far the most damning thing that I can say about Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is that all three of the games in this package feel incredibly old. What's baffling about this is that for any of these games to be unable to hit 30fps on a next-gen console like the PlayStation 5, which is where I played, is laughable. By comparison, Performance mode is drastically better and makes each look much smoother. In my own experience with Fidelity mode, I struggled to consistently hit 30fps in any of the three games, leading to each looking incredibly choppy. By default, each game will have "Fidelity" mode turned on rather than "Performance" mode, but I'm not sure why. That being said, new elements such as an unlimited draw distance also work against each title and show you how small and blocky these game worlds really look.ĭespite the graphics largely being solid, though, the performance in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is surprisingly bad. This remastered collection largely presents these titles in the way that you remember them, not the way that they were originally, which is a good thing. The three cities across each Grand Theft Auto game look more crisp than ever before. For the most part, the remastered visuals in this trilogy are more than adequate. Before I blast Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition too much more, let me at least start with some positives.
