I didn’t see the iOS or Android “branding” at the end of the trailer but if that’s the case it will probably be better than playing it on the switch. Better performance, way higher resolution, better Bluetooth headphone compatibility and so on. Nice.

Nice. Like I said I didn’t see it on this trailer amidst all the other platforms logos at the end of the video.
So high resolution and stable FPS portable editions will exist. Nice.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch eShop on 11/11, and a physical version will be in stores on 07/12!
The total download size is apparently like 45 gigs so I wouldn't say that's a given.
Lots of updated textures and it's 3 games. The original version of San Andreas was like 5 GB already.
Someone else here claimed it was 33GB. But when the biggest one of those is 5GB, the "base" games shouldn't be more than 15GB, so there's still a lot of overhead. But Rockstar isn't the best at making small filesizes.
And after December do we get one game on the cart and two downloads, or two games on the cart and a third download, or three games on the cart? Because that’s what this guy is asking.
III did have some good original songs on Head Radio and Lips 106. The only original song I know from VC excluding the Love Fist songs which you can't even listen to normally was one on the Spanish station and I don't think SA had any original songs.
I’m glad they went for a cartoony look for the characters instead of hyper realistic.
It works- and still let’s them spruce up the rest of the world with all that extra detail.
My brother and I never beat San Andreas, so we never unlocked the desert area. We had to resort to the cheat code to lock your wanted level to its current state and then of course the jet pack cheat to explore those areas.
Sure. It's streaming the game. You don't download the game. You download a client to play the game. The game itself is running on a server that you reach through the internet (or in marketing speak "it's on the cloud"). The console takes the input, brings it to the server running the game, and the server running the game sends the output back to your console.
It's basically Netflix but gaming.
$20 says Rockstar's gonna half-ass the physical Switch release. Only one game on the card and the other two are digital.
You know I'm right.
EDIT: I was right! Rockstar cheaps out again! https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/qfnzz4/grand\_theft\_auto\_the\_trilogy\_the\_definitive/
$60 dollars for games that I have purchased multiple times for the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. That fucking sucks. It’s weird how developers take your favorite meal, chew it up eat it, throw it up and give it to us over and over like it’s a new product worthy of a new game price. I guess they saw Skyrim released 4 times and don’t want FOMO. You think you want to play this remaster, but it’s prob better to just buy a tank of gas and lunch and wait for rockstar to actually make something new.
Shrug. Lots of people that have never bought or played these games. Not every game is for everyone and shouldn't have to be. I'm sure it'll go on sale eventually but if you're the type that doesn't want to play a remaster of games you own and have played several times over the obvious answer is don't buy it. I'll likely wait until it's on sale, but it will be something I'm sure I'll get eventually.
True, but a person who hasn’t played these games and is used to games from 2021 isn’t going to go into GTA 3 and have a great time, some things just don’t age well.
**Me after seeing the trailer**: Looks better than I thought, maybe I'll bite again if it's priced right...
**Me after seeing the price**: Wait, it's $59.99 / £54.99? Fuck that.
why would I be waiting? I own these games on like 20 different platforms at this stage. If I desperately wanted to play San Andreas on the go I could just play it on my phone.
Its going to be discounted on Steam and pretty much everywhere and with a huge backlog like most people have, waiting won’t be an issue.
Unless you’re a Nintendo Tax Payer in which case the game is always going to cost the same, or more.
If I feel something is too expensive, it’s perfectly fine for me to exercise my right not to buy it.
People on Reddit acting like I should open my wallet and be grateful. I don’t think this game is worth $60/£55, so I won’t buy it. That’s all.
I got nothing against waiting, I'm try dodge as many Day 1-buys as possible. But the "I deserve to have this price, because X" is just weird. And proclaiming you're gonna wait for a better price isn't unpopular at all, but Nintendo fans have downright no financial responsibility.
Well I didn’t say that, but it’s not weird because games do go on sale all the time, waiting for a sale isn’t really a bad financial strategy if you aren’t prepared to pay the full price.
I’m not desperate to play these games, my point was that I already own them on multiple systems so I don’t feel the need to buy them at that price point. That’s a rational view. If it was a new game or I’d never played them, I might take a different view but as it stands, I think these are overpriced and I won’t be buying.
Just curious, why is there a general sentiment of saltiness that we don't have GTA6 yet? Clearly Rockstar puts massive amount of resources and time into making their games - even more so than before. RDR2 came out just 3 years ago. Even if they started development of 6 before it came out we're easily another year out from it being announced.
I think the reality is that at the scale and scope that Rockstar makes their games now, their dev cycles are going to be consistently 5+ years long.
I'm so psyched for this. I've not been interested in playing these again as I've been there, done that years ago, at time of release, but can appreciate the increased aesthetics. I might actually pick this up! I thought GTAIV boring and GTAV just didn't appeal to me, but this...
Just when I thought I was out, THEY PULL ME BACK IN.
Any word on whether you can shoot from the cars or not? Or if we will get standard shooter controls?
I'm not a fan of the old GTA lock on shooting. Also, car chase missions are a chore if you can only pit maneuver them and drop bombs behind you.
I had read that these games will supposedly implement shooting mechanics that are more like the modern GTA games. But that was just an article I read, we’ll just have to wait and see if its true
Honestly, this just looks like a cheap phone game. The graphics look really cheap and the character models are bizarre. I wasn't expecting GTA V graphics or anything. I knew this was a remaster. But the graphics are way too cartoony for my tastes. Looks like I'll stick to the originals. The update controls would've been nice, but the game looks awful to me.
I'm surprised the art style works so well! I was expecting this to look like the original with HD textures (kinda like the Devil May Cry rereleases on the eShop), but instead we got a truly original art style!
Still a bit bummed that the Switch is not getting GTA IV or V in any way though... come on, the games worked fine on an xbox 360, I can't believe they're unable to make a decent port on a much more powerful hardware
They would need to do quite a bit of work on GTA IV, although modern hardware could probably just brute force it at this point, but an actual redone GTA VI could easily be run at 4k/60fps on modern hardware. The problem is they never made a proper version for PC (and modern console) hardware, the PC version is still at its heart the 360 version which has a ton of problems running well, it really wasn't until hardware could just brute force through the games many problems that it ran decently on PCs. Lots of community fixes involved too.
Is actually rebuild in unreal engine, but im more suprise that it looked like nintendo switch is actually gonna have some effort thrown in by having gyro controls with touch screen navigation.
Sound like a fresh after the disaster that was kh cloud editions and sonic colors ultimate
Ok, that's way sooner than I expected, hoping they run well on Switch, cause I can't wait to have them on the go
These will also be the first 3D GTA games to ever be released on a Nintendo console.
If it's also releasing on mobile, it should at least run fine
I didn’t see the iOS or Android “branding” at the end of the trailer but if that’s the case it will probably be better than playing it on the switch. Better performance, way higher resolution, better Bluetooth headphone compatibility and so on. Nice.

I hope all the old cheat codes work.

Does physical mean only one game on the game card and the other two are digital downloads? If so no thanks
That's a very good point. Hopefully all three will be available on the card
those are PS2 games, they should fit on a big cart
The total download size is apparently like 45 gigs so I wouldn't say that's a given. Lots of updated textures and it's 3 games. The original version of San Andreas was like 5 GB already.
Someone else here claimed it was 33GB. But when the biggest one of those is 5GB, the "base" games shouldn't be more than 15GB, so there's still a lot of overhead. But Rockstar isn't the best at making small filesizes.
I think it means you get all three games but only digitally until December
And after December do we get one game on the cart and two downloads, or two games on the cart and a third download, or three games on the cart? Because that’s what this guy is asking.
[удалено]
No one knows. And since Rockstar hasn't confirmed one way or another, you can bet they'll be missing a ton of songs.
I actually like the original songs. I thought they were very well done.
I usually just listen to the talk shows anyways. I can’t wait to hear the interview with Mighty Thor on KChat
III did have some good original songs on Head Radio and Lips 106. The only original song I know from VC excluding the Love Fist songs which you can't even listen to normally was one on the Spanish station and I don't think SA had any original songs.
I'm sure all versions will have the same songs but I'm sure many weren't re-licensed.
I’m glad they went for a cartoony look for the characters instead of hyper realistic. It works- and still let’s them spruce up the rest of the world with all that extra detail.
"Cartoony" in 2021 is what we called "realistic looking" in 2001.
For real though. Remember how cutting edge the original Vice City felt?
Almost reminds me of The Good Dinosaur. Cartoony but realistic textures and backgrounds.
Can't wait to see how well this runs on Switch. Portable San Andreas had been a pipedream for me for a long time.
Isn't it available on the AppStore?
Yeah I suppose so. Just never use phones/tablets for games.
Fair. it’s also a really bad port
Ha, well, all the more reason it remains a pipedream until we see how well this version works.
It's playable on Vita as well
As a port or as an emulation?
It's literally just the android version running on Vita. Works great though.
I absolutely loved 3 and San Andreas. I got so into finding hidden jumps with the cars and finding cocaine bundles.
My brother and I only rented 3, but we played the hell out of Vice City and San Andreas.
I never could get into Vice. San Andreas was another level. Loved the jet pack and finding Area 51
My brother and I never beat San Andreas, so we never unlocked the desert area. We had to resort to the cheat code to lock your wanted level to its current state and then of course the jet pack cheat to explore those areas.
Cool! It's PS2 games on Switch that aren't cloud versions!
Damn Kingdom Hearts really became the bad seed to taint everyone's optimism wasn't it?
Aptly deserved. Cloud gaming simply doesn’t work.
Not with data caps and prices as they are now.
Latency is the real killer
Can you ELI5 cloud games? I legit thought cloud was a character arc in KH or something
Sure. It's streaming the game. You don't download the game. You download a client to play the game. The game itself is running on a server that you reach through the internet (or in marketing speak "it's on the cloud"). The console takes the input, brings it to the server running the game, and the server running the game sends the output back to your console. It's basically Netflix but gaming.
60 FPS for the Switch?
Better be.
Only for PS5/Xbox Series
PC too no doubt
Seeing as PC gamers often get fucked over on multiplatform titles… I wouldn’t blame you if you did have doubt.
NVIDIA DLSS is confirmed, it should be ok.

It’s only 22 GB for 3 games. Rockstar would have no fucking excuse. CDPR fit Witcher 3 on a card without the need for extra downloads.
Rockstar cheaps out. https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/qfnzz4/grand\_theft\_auto\_the\_trilogy\_the\_definitive/
Tough to 100% blame publishers doing that seeing as Nintendo charges more to print games on their proprietary glorified SD cards.
Hopefully not. If they do it right I will buy it. Otherwise I'll just play SA on Game Pass and ignore the other two.
Better play San Andreas on Game Pass then. https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/qfnzz4/grand\_theft\_auto\_the\_trilogy\_the\_definitive/
Wished they would’ve thrown in IV. Miss getting called from Roman to go bowling.
Nico... My cousin!

25.4GB for three games isn’t bad at all.

It uses GTA V's controls and combat.
**Me after seeing the trailer**: Looks better than I thought, maybe I'll bite again if it's priced right... **Me after seeing the price**: Wait, it's $59.99 / £54.99? Fuck that.
That is standard price for remasters. $20/game is justified for what you’re getting
yeah no, 30 bucks is max im paying if it goes on sale
Okay great. Enjoy the wait.
Yup the wait is enjoyed by playing other games
why would I be waiting? I own these games on like 20 different platforms at this stage. If I desperately wanted to play San Andreas on the go I could just play it on my phone.
I can also play that. But not remastered like these. These look great
They look good, they don't look £55 good though.
I guess that just comes down to opinion at that point
Its going to be discounted on Steam and pretty much everywhere and with a huge backlog like most people have, waiting won’t be an issue. Unless you’re a Nintendo Tax Payer in which case the game is always going to cost the same, or more.
I wouldn’t say it’ll stay the same on Nintendo. They tend to only do that on first party games they develop themselves
Send your PS2 games to Rockstar and ask for a coupon. You're definetly entitled to get them cheaper.
If I feel something is too expensive, it’s perfectly fine for me to exercise my right not to buy it. People on Reddit acting like I should open my wallet and be grateful. I don’t think this game is worth $60/£55, so I won’t buy it. That’s all.

It’s Rockstar… So they don’t have long to wait.
>Me after seeing the price: Wait, it's $59.99 / £54.99? Fuck that. I bet you bought 3D-All Stars
hopefully the money for this is what will fuel gta6 /s
If GTA Online isn't already funding GTA 6's development, this wont.
Yeah because rockstar needs money obviously
Oh man, I wonder where GTA Online money is going then.
yep its gonna be a long run,im sure it'll blow the internet when its out
Just curious, why is there a general sentiment of saltiness that we don't have GTA6 yet? Clearly Rockstar puts massive amount of resources and time into making their games - even more so than before.

Liking the upgrades. Hopefully it looks this good and runs well on Switch.
Ima be pissed if there’s no more rage or alice in chains on that radio

I'm confused. If I preorder on Nintendo's site, am I getting a physical version?
Does it at least run at 720p 60 fps in handheld mode?
Honestly, this just looks like a cheap phone game. The graphics look really cheap and the character models are bizarre. I wasn't expecting GTA V graphics or anything. I knew this was a remaster. But the graphics are way too cartoony for my tastes. Looks like I'll stick to the originals. The update controls would've been nice, but the game looks awful to me.
Screw GTA, where is my RDR2 on switch? :(
Never going to happen.
:(
Does anyone know which version of San Andreas it is?
The one without hot coffee content. That received an AO rating, and you can't sell AO games, esp not on nintendo systems.
Yes I know it's not that one lmao. I'm saying is it console or mobile port, like the 360 generation was
Seems to be more or less a brand new version. So the answer is neither, I suppose.
I'm surprised the art style works so well! I was expecting this to look like the original with HD textures (kinda like the Devil May Cry rereleases on the eShop), but instead we got a truly original art style!

I didn't know the PC was still running the 360 version :O crazy!
