>"Rockstar has given us a first look at the upcoming Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Collection, and it showcases the enormous amount of work that has gone into improving the games' visuals. You're never quite sure with a remaster whether you'll be getting an up-ressed version of an old game or a completely overhauled product, but so far, it looks like Rockstar and developer Grove Street Games are treating these classics with the reverence they deserve.Rich Stanton, News Editor: What blew me away was the simple trick of transitioning from the 'old' scenes into the new, which really emphasised how much brighter and cleaner those environments look. Like many people, I imagine, I haven't played these games in well over a decade so my memories of them are always 'better' than how the things actually looked at the time, and seeing this was like Rockstar had reached into my brain, fetched out the nostalgia goggles, and somehow made it into a game. I honestly wasn't that excited about the GTA Trilogy, but all of a sudden I just can't wait to get back to the gorgeous, pastel-soaked Vice City, stick some Duran Duran on, and burn rubber.Nat Clayton, News Writer: It's a really weird aesthetic! GTA 3 through San Andreas came out at a time where you couldn't really pull off the grounded, gritty look of 4 and 5, and so get around it by heightening their look and tone. This remaster attempts to retroactively declare that a deliberate stylistic choice, and what you end up with is this uncannily shiny lo-fi look. The kind of thing you'd see on a '90s mag or some sort of spoofed game showing up in the background of CSI.That said, my experience with the early GTAs is playing them in the cramped bedroom of my brother's best mate, putting up with his mean-spirited jokes because your parents wouldn't buy you 18-rated games. Can a remaster capture that energy? Would it even want to?"
