Yea I'd imagine the trilogy will feel very dated when it drops if those rumors are true.
And I'm sure a lot of people will still buy based of nostalgia and wanting to replay these classics

But I can't imagine the younger gen will be too hype to play these considering visuals haven't had much improvement and the controls stayed the same.
I'm sure they won't see a point in getting these games which have clunky controls and dated visuals when they can just play GTA 5 instead

Just seems like a missed opportunity to get a whole new gen of gamers interested in the older GTA games

I still might cop though, just depends on price and how the game looks and feels tbh

Trust me they are worth playing (not talking directly to you.) There are a lot of great things about GTA 5 but, I truly feel it's the worst GTA if I had to rank them. I just dont think the gameplay, graphics are enough when it was void of the feel rockstar instilled in the series from 3 onwards. It's the most marketable to the general public for sure

O yea I know, I stayed up MANY nights as a kid playing San Andreas for hours. It's one of the most fun games OAT. And Vice City soundtrack still hasn't been topped

And yea GTA 5's story is severely lacking, which makes the game's story not very replayable. Definitely a step down from GTA 4.
But from reading those rumors on the last page, it just doesn't seem like the new improvements will be a good enough selling point to convince younger players to spend $60+ on these games.
For a lot of kids GTA 5 is the absolute STANDARD for how GTA should look and feel because that is the only GTA game they really know.

But we'll see how well the Trilogy performs before I make too many assumptions

If these don’t at least look better than the ports that went to PS4 we need to have a serious discussion about how much of a f***ing scam Rockstar is. A MOBILE port? Nah bro there’s no way they’re releasing the exact same versions again for full price and expect people to pay for them

Lol on no DO NOT get your Hope's up as far as this looking like the Mafia remake. I would bet my house that is not what this is going to be. These games, even by today's standards are pretty huge I know they wouldn't put that effort into remaking them to that degree. The funny thing is, they actually could have remade them all by now considering how many years ago these games came out. But yeah, it's best to temper your expectations.

Where does all this mobile port rumors come from bro the versions that are out now ARE the mobile ports

This is a totally new version, and the new mobile games will be a port of that.

HOWEVER. Don’t expect more than texture upscale, redone animations, and QOL changes

when there are mod combos with more of an upgrade that will get used in comparison posts on twitter, ig and tiktok, itll over for this Trilogy as far as critical reception goes, total bag fumble because theyd make twice as much $$$ with at least some effort put into this release

So the achievements/Trophies have leaked and yeah this doesn't seem like a port. They're doing full on brand new achievements. Like big foot rumor from the original San Andreas is coming full circle with an achievement that makes reference to RDR1. "81 years in the making" you have to spend a certain amount of time on the country side looking for Big Foot.

There's also achievements poking fun at memes, such as The ".....Here we go again" meme. People also found out that it'll be visual updates as well.

There's also a bunch of brand new achievements.

The following is taken from some guy on reddit. Take with a grain of salt, but it sounds reasonable

"tl;dr they're going to look the same with slight enhancements to faces, better animations, and overall better lighting.

Believe me or not, it really doesn't matter. The games are going to largely look the same as they did back in the 2000s. Textures have been upscaled, faces have been updated so they look less like triangles, the game uses more dynamic lighting rather than baked-in lighting. Gameplay-wise, animations are almost identical to the normal versions, but cutscenes have largely been reanimated to look less stiff, and the models now have fingers rather than oven mitts for hands. Facial animations are almost "too good" as in the weirdly decent facial animations don't fit the low poly models. Car damage is now more dynamic, and the "damage models" have been done away with. They are more reflective like the mobile ports but more high resolution.

The city is going to look exactly the same. Epic has an internal tool for transferring texture and geometry data from RenderWare to Unreal, so the city shouldn't look any different other than the texture and lighting changes. Ped AI was actually designed to work largely similar to how they were in the original games, not better or worse. There's going to be almost nothing new content-wise, except for the skins from the later editions of the original games, and GTA III has a new "xmas" cheat code that covers liberty city in snow.

The reason the game was ported to unreal was simply due to RenderWare no longer holding up to modern standards and not really playing as well with modern hardware. RAGE was considered but Unreal was chosen due to the existence of tools to easily port content from RW. Dundee is a very small team but they had a lot of passion for this project. These will be the definitive versions for most people and lack many of the issues the old mobile GTA ports had.

The games have pretty much gone gold at this point and Dundee has started work on the mobile ports to release sometime in Q2 2022 (not sure if this has been officially announced yet)

EDIT: I've posted a fair bit more in the comments relating to controls and gameplay changes. I want to keep this post concise and readable."

Don’t know why people are assuming these are going to be full remakes. Most likely just standard up scaling at most. Especially if this is dropping on switch
