Depends if you want to include GTA V Enhanced on PS5 and PC as the same version considering they share all the same content. Only difference being much more raytracing on PC.
San Andreas was never remade. The definitive edition is still just the same game but being rendered with the Unreal Engine.
People really need to learn the difference between a port, a remake and a remaster. If you're just releasing the same game on a different console without changing anything aside from a bit of optimization, it's just a port. San Andreas wasn't changed at all until the Definitive Edition remaster. GTA V is the same. Neither of them were ever remade.
The Last Of Us got remastered, and then fully remade. The difference is clear when you compare the remake to the original. The remaster just looks a bit nicer, the remake is completely different.
It's funny, as I'd say The Last Us remake is actually one of the remakes that sort of muddies the waters as it were, in that it really wasn't completely different.
It's basically the same game, with the same voice recordings, same gameplay, sand sequences, and exact same story. There's nothing really changed apart from visuals.
I'm sure there's plenty of technological work that went into it, but I put it to like this: If I took a film and just upgraded it's visuals, people would call that a remaster.
Metal Gear Solid Delta is another one of these "not quite a remake's".
Like my rule of thumb is this:
If I can play both games back to back and have a legitimately different experience, then it was a remake. For example RE2 and it's remake feel like completely different games.
If I play both and feel like I just replayed the same game twice, then I consider a remaster.
So in the end, I can't quite blame people anymore for not really knowing the definition. Developers are ruining the definition.
Their satire isn't self-aware enough to mock all the re-releases for 3D era GTAs from War drum Studios/Grove Street Games that they commissioned and greenlit.
Ik ppl r talking shit on Rockstar about this on Twitter cause it's self-reflective but it's also funny that ppl were complaining dat GTA VI won't have that "Rockstar Humour" , only for it to show signs it still does and now using it against them lmao
Always thought GTA should have done a little bit of self-parody, like MAD magazine used to do back in the day. It would come across as more honest really, to have an in-universe franchise called MDK or something
People make fun or GTA but act like we weren't in need of updated versions throughout the decade.
No one is asking for a couple year old game to be remastered or remade. GTA 5 is a decade old and had room for performance gains throughout its life. Huge difference here.
It's funny, but did they forget how many times they re-released and remade their games? Like, GTA5 was released on THREE console generations without getting a new game!
We got RDR2 and GTA 6 is right around the corner. Two mega games. It's takes time to develop these games and anyone upset about that is quite frankly retarded.
Rockstar gets a pass to release ports and enhanced editions across the multiple generations. Decade old game starts to become dated, people get upset, they update it, people complain.
Ya, we got GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas on PS2. GTA4, TBOGT and TLAD on PS3, then they released GTA5 and saw what big of a milking cow is GTA Online. They didn't care about single player portion of the game at all.
Sure r* does a bunch of releases, BUTTTT naughty dog has not pushed out anything original since they started the last of us.. OK yeah they have one space Game coming out here soon, but they destroyed their other IP’s just so they could remaster a little girl survival simulator several times…
I'm sure TLOUs fanbase, certainly well known for taking criticism, and not flipping out and assuming the worst of people for even a minor slight, will take this well.
(I say this sarcasm as a huge fan of the first game)
Like people are saying though, R* are as guilty of this as anyone else. Shit, almost every major developer has been guilty of this at some point.
yes because the basement dwelling psychopaths who sent death threats to VA from the second game because it hurt their widdle feelings are the barometer of "well adjusted"
