    Apparently the trilogy costs a whole ass $90 on PlayStation.

      $91 for PC

    • sween64 on 23/10/2021 - 00:29

      $100 on PlayStation

      • dbell on 23/10/2021 - 07:46

        By the looks of it, it's not worth $100.

      That'll be for the digital, I'm still holding out there will a physical release and it'll be less than that and more appealing.

      • Velathial on 23/10/2021 - 08:19

        Physical was advertised to come out omewhere between December 7th - 9th I believe.

          Worth the wait given that the games have been ported to a new engine and will probably have their fair share of bugs around launch.

          • Topdog on 23/10/2021 - 09:21

            @XVX: so does this mean it will play different to ps2 days? with a new engine, or is that just so it can look more like todays games? but will still play like it did on the PS2

            • XVX on 23/10/2021 - 09:23

              @Topdog: Hard to know based on the info we have. I am sure they would have fine tuned the games in Unreal Engine to feel the same as they originally did, but apparently the games will use a GTA 5 style aiming system, so the shooting will definitely feel different to the PS2 days.

              • Topdog on 23/10/2021 - 09:25

                @XVX: ahh nice, cheers! Keen to play VC and SA again, tried SA with the version you could get on the PS4, and just could not play it. to clunky etc for me to put up with the games length. Hopefully the GTA 5 aiming will resolve that. and let me go on :)

        • jay2datee on 12/11/2021 - 22:23

          It is coming out on physicals 7 December. I pre-ordered the Xbox version on Amazon for $74.90 and they had a promo that if you order on the Amazon app, there’s a promo code to take $10 off, bringing it down to $64.90. So I’m more than happy to wait and save $35!!

          • Velathial on 12/11/2021 - 22:51

            @jay2datee: Nice. Will look at that. Hopefully, the physical adopters come into it with the performance ironed out a bit.

      It is $99.95 on xbox. And no the trilogy is not coming to gamepass day 1. Only 1 of the three games is coming to gamepass, San Andreas.

        Who says this is a remaster? Rockstar is trying its best to be as vague as possible. A "definitive edition". Like we didn't have enough terms to describe lazy video game rehash.

      It was basically a port to UE4. Rockstar had little to nothing to do with the project and War Drum Studios (the people responsible for the original mobile, ps3 and xb360 ports) did the remasters.

      PS now is not available in Australia.
      All you can get is PS plus and the crappy 3 games they give you every month which are usually no less than horrible or useless.

        You can use it via the US store loophole, works perfectly then. It's just the older streaming only games that don't always work well, but the downloadable ones are fine.

    Does anyone know if the og soundtracks will be there still? Since some of the songs on the other ports of these games didn't carry over due to licensing etc..
    The radio stations on these made these games so much better.

        Such a pity. So many of the songs had the radio DJs comment on them too which added to the immersion back then.
        I fired up the old PS2 the other month just to play some old saves just to reminisce with the radiostations and the DJs/songs; unfortunately the games have not aged well (we've gotten too used to HD graphics and more responsive controls) but the sound thank god (thanks to non-online consoles) is spot on.

        • Scipio on 23/10/2021 - 01:52

          yeah, I'm just happy that I've got my original PC discs and also the Steam versions, so I can play the original versions before they started removing music years ago as well as mod options so theoretically upscaled gfx.

      explain the hate? Please. I think we are spoilt for choice across all systems. Nothing to hate about any console any-more. Unless your a graphics nut, the only argument there is switch games. even then its not a argument. Nintendo dont promote the switch as 4K, 120FPS etc.

      • Iwantthebestprice on 23/10/2021 - 19:01

        I have a PS5 and an Xbox X and I hardly play the PS, and it's only due to game pass, the 3 games PS releases each month for PS plus is a bit of a joke. For xbox game pass I feel I'm getting value for money, unfortunately I don't agree with PS plus. I can't be the only one that thinks this surley

        • putshan on 23/10/2021 - 21:19

          You don't buy a PS5 for PS Plus, you buy it for the exclusives and personal preferences (friends online, controller, UI etc.)
          PS Plus and GamePass are completely different things.

          And don't call me Surely.

        • Topdog on 25/10/2021 - 07:43

          for me I think the selection on game pass is a waste of money, and not worth my $15 bucks a month. If a game pops up on game pass I want, ill either buy it or pay the $15 fee so I can play it and finish it in a month. we all have different tastes in games. :) I love my PS5 and I also love my XBOX, the switch gets little use, but I dont hate Nintendo.

            @Topdog: Once these cheaper deals end and everyone is actually paying $15-20 a month, it will be interesting to see if the love in continues, but at the $150 odd for 3 years, its a no brainer for first time subs.

            • Topdog on 26/10/2021 - 16:03

  • kazuyamishima on 23/10/2021 - 03:59
    +5

    It’s funny that a lot of people are still reading that the collection is coming to Gamepass, whilst only one out of the three will come to (San Andreas), and GTA III will go to PS Now.

    In both scenarios, you still have to pay to have the complete collection.

    • AngusD on 25/10/2021 - 08:54

      It's also unknown how long they'll stay on either service. Based on Rockstar's previous form, I suspect it won't be long. I think both GTAV and RDR2 were on GamePass previously, but only for a relatively short time… 3 or 4 months? I think they were using it like a demo… put it out there for long enough for people to sample it, knowing that a lot of people probably won't get anywhere near finishing them in that time and will be motivated to buy them afterwards.

  • nuttapillar on 23/10/2021 - 06:26

          It's cheaper buying the game pass to play those games. Plus you get to play the other games from game pass.
          It definitely beats RRP pricing.

    • Velathial on 23/10/2021 - 08:50

      First time…? Rockstar has never released a game until they believe its ready, meaning an inflated development time in recent days.

      We are far away from the days when waiting between GTA3 and vice city was only 9 months.

      Dev time for games since GTA 4 has taken maybe 3-5 years. It's wholly dependent on what improvements and systems they are wanting to develop into the game.

      • Puglife on 23/10/2021 - 09:12

        Neither has Project Red…oh wait…
        I'm happy to wait for GTA and Elder Scrolls for many more years. Because they wait for years but always get it right.
        That's why they are the two most anticipated games to come.

          Bethesda has never got their games right on release. Great games…but far from perfect alot of the time. You cannot tell me with a straight face they always get it right…Fallout 76 for example, and any of the initial release bugs in Bethesda games. That being said, more playable across the board than cyberpunk was at launch.

          Cyberpunk was clearly not baked for long enough. I'd compare it to Anthem levels of mismanagement that lead to nowhere near enough dev time.

          • Puglife on 24/10/2021 - 10:50

            @Velathial: I honestly have never played a Fallout game, so I can't really respond. But I was more referring to things like Ubisoft games. Pumping out the same games year after year without any substance or longevity (hence I guess why the prices plummet on them so quickly). Like Assassin's Creed, just the same recycled game year after year. I guess I like that Rockstar and Bethesda put in the effort and time to make a game that lasts 10+ years across multiple consoles. Like Red Dead Redemption, GTA and Skyrim. I'm probably bias though because I mostly play open world games.

            • Velathial on 24/10/2021 - 18:49
              +2

              @Puglife: Hmm ok, prob should have referenced Ubi rather than CD project red lol

              I can agree, Ubisoft is stuck in a rut with no innovation or changes to the gameplay formula they have with anything atm.
              They're simply sticking to what they know sells. Let's face facts, people bitch about the games, but still buy them, otherwise, Ubi wouldn't keep their whole library so formulaic. However, at least they put more work into their games than anyone with a sports license currently.

              I think games like Skyrim, GTA and Red dead have long-lasting appeal, but you can see a lot of the same exploitative nature the rest of the gaming industry has been using for the past ten years. Numerous re-releases with little or no improvement, all post-game support directed at online-only, etc.

  • lordezekiel on 23/10/2021 - 07:33

    All three games are going to be censored and have content changed/removed to be more inline with current societal expectations… and say goodbye to most of the songs you remember listening to in the game.

        I think he is talking out of his ass, but the notion of societal expectations is a good point. The series was lambasted back in the day, so I can just imagine the response it could generate now.

          Yeah saw s video showing that they removed the confederate flag from Phil’s shirt.

          Hopefully that’s the extent

    If this is only a "graphics update", don't even bother buying those old games.
    Just emulate

      and they removed a quarter of the soundtrack. You will be feeling sore when you discover radio Los Santos is repeating the same 6 songs.

      If they don't add new era-based songs in this remaster after removing so many since the steam version. It's a straight downgrade. Modders will be on this on PC day one to put the original radio back in.

    lmao shit.

    I was 100% on these all day one. Now they have that ugly shiny look these lazy remaster things often do, like the mobile ports did too. idk. 100 bucks is a bit of money for games I bought on disc a hundred times at 2 bucks a pop. I was thinking around the 75 mark and honestly that was a bit much. Anyway, I was all in, was, now that I can see just how much they've changed up for free, I don't know.

    Much more interested in 3 and VC, not just because I prefer them immensely, but because San Andreas is already on Xbox at that. Shit (profanity) idk now. If it wasn't on Game Pass I'd have probably just ponied up, I have 60 odd in MS Rewards money put aside for it anyway so it's not too bad but shoot, idk now.

    Help me, OzB community! Or don't, I'm a chump who'll likely just buy it all day one anyway.
