The GTA Trilogy sparked excitement when first announced last October. Slated to be a definitive edition of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, the Trilogy boasted Unreal Engine-amplified graphics and modernized control schemes. This includes enhanced lighting effects, upgraded character/vehicle models, and higher resolution textures. Unfortunately, the fandom disappointment was almost immediate when the bundle finally launched. Issues that ranged from jarring visual glitches to game-breaking bugs plagued the remastered Rockstar classics. The 1.04 update looks to remedy these issues many moons later, with shoddy textures and collisions/clipping being the primary focus.

In any case, the GTA Trilogy is getting the support it needs. Fans were skeptical for a long time, with some even taking matters into their own hands on PC with “Better Rain” and “Make Los Santos Great Again” mods. Only time will tell if the Trilogy will reach the same heights as the vanilla games. A large-scale update is undoubtedly a good start. Despite the collection’s maligned post-launch period, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick stated that it “significantly exceeded” sales expectations.
