Rockstar apologized for the “unexpected technical problems” in Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Final Edition, said the GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas remakes did not launch in a state that met their quality standards. Probably shouldn’t have dropped them in that state. They say they plan to improve them and released a fix patch over the weekend. They will also sell the original versions back and will give them away to those who buy the remake trilogy.
The company posted a note on Friday to deal with unexpected technical issues, “saying that they” would like to sincerely apologize to everyone who has encountered problems playing these games. “It’s just a comment on technical matters, note.
Rockstar admits: “Updated versions of these classic games did not launch in a state that met our own quality standards or the standards that our fans expect.”
“We have ongoing plans to address technical issues and improve each game going forward. With each planned update, games will reach the level of quality they deserve. “
Then Rockstar released update 1.02 last weekend. It fixes many of the issues in the three games, from the incorrect textures and holes in the map to the Tommy T pose and that ridiculous San Andreas rain.
Personally, I wouldn’t expect future updates to bring in a different art style, restored radio songs, or anything else that’s expansive or expensive.
The status of the remakes has been particularly frustrating since Rockstar stopped selling the original versions prior to launch, meaning the only way to get hold of the game now is with this jankfest. Well, Rockstar listened to this complaint and announced that they plan to put the originals back on sale on PC with a bundle sold on the Rockstar Store (sadly, yes, they will be tied to jnkfest. this other). That’s because “in the short term”.
Those who purchased the Trilogy Definitive Edition before June 30, 2022, will receive it for free. That is something.
When damage control goes, the response is fine. But that’s the damage Rockstar does, by releasing games in blatantly shoddy conditions and by dragging the original so people have no other choice. Then while everyone was thinking about all that, Rockstar Temporarily withdrawing remakes from sale to get rid of some files that turned the mess into a circus. The company caused all this and doesn’t deserve credit for fixing it afterwards.
Of course, this doesn’t justify the harassment that Rockstar says some developers are suffering on social media. Don’t do that. Why do you do that.
Although Rockstar and Grove Street Games are working on fixing some aspects, you might want to give it a try GTA Trilogy Fixes Fans are making to correct their mistakes. Those targets everything from the misspelling on the store sign to the hilariously clear HD visuals that turn the hexagonal nut on the Tuff Nut Donuts store sign into a large metal donut. .
Disclosure: I obviously have friends who work with Rockstar because of the fact that in Edinburgh you are never more than six feet away from a Rockstar employee.
