It still boggles my mind that this collection was deemed passable by Rockstar, that they allowed this bastardisation of some of their greatest games to just release, and on top of that discontinue the original versions, removing them from digital storefronts.
What makes this all so frustrating especially, is that these three games were, and still are in desperate need of a remaster, one that doesn't completely ruin the visuals, restores the original radio music (you're seriously telling me that a billion dollar corporation couldn't pay a few licencing fees), and adds several much-needed quality of life features. This isn't it, unfortunately, but so much of what could've been is just staring you in the face, and it's ball-bustingly agonising.
Laughably, the recently released mobile versions of these games seem to be better than the actual console and PC versions, with lighting more akin to the original games, which really shows where their priority was.
I hope to god they keep updating this remaster, now that the mobile version is out, bring all of the fixes from that platform over to PC and console, so we can at least have a semi-decent remaster of these three masterpieces of their time, but something tells me they aren't going to even bother trying to fix this AI-generated trainwreck.
