Instead of a review

On the day of release, even before enchanting start The “final edition” Rockstar Games worked out a mandatory program: posted new videos (you will find them in this material – dislikes are welcome) and “handed out” interviews. All this could be safely passed by, but in only one conversation with FTW (this is ananim, right?) so many things were praised …

The interview was with Rich Rosado, one of the old-timers of R * who has been on the production team for more than ten important games of the company since the third part, that is, for 20 years. Apparently, he played his usual role in the case of GTA: Trilogy – Definitive Edition… In short, the material comes through with praise of the works of Grove Street Games, and this can only be explained by the fact that either the studio firmly believes that the collection is good, or wants to make players believe it. Here, as they say, everyone will decide for himself. And we will go over the main theses of the conversation and comment on the situation with an eye to what we saw during our first acquaintance with the reissue

The article beautifully describes how wonderful the heavenly bodies, sunsets and sunrises, puddles after rain are, but for some reason not a word about the rain itself, which looks like a falling dotted line.

The “developers” used a lot of assets from GTA 5, which is not hidden. Moreover, Rosado asks why they need to make a new model, for example, a tree or a refrigerator, if they can borrow an existing one. We did not manage to formulate a counter question censorship, therefore we ask why these most vaunted trees soar in the air, like armfuls of leaves on the roads? ..

Rumors were confirmed that when the original was transferred to Unreal Engine 4 (and this is how the process took place), AI was used, and only then in places that the program did not cover, people were finalizing. It’s just not clear why these same people didn’t double-check the work of artificial intelligence and didn’t correct mistakes?

Another reason for pride, the producer called the GPS-navigator, which in the original Trilogy It never happened. Again, in this matter, AI trusted, and only then the “developers” completed the system manually. Then, according to what logic does GPS automatically drive a brand new car in Pay n Spray in the “troika”, and in “Vice City” makes its way through the gateways and alleys?

The reworked controls were also noted, but the mystery was why it was necessary to change the traditional layout. The explosion of toy cars could well have been left on the fire button, and not translated to the R key. The same can be said about the horn – it moved from the comfortable little finger of the left Shift to the H key, which must still be reached.

At the end of the material, there is a story about the continuity of R * games and an example of Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis and its impact on Gta 4but in the case of this reissue, the continuity cannot be called healthy …
