Huge GTA Trilogy Update Is Available Now

When the GTA Trilogy was initially released in October 2021, it generated a lot of interest. The Trilogy, marketed as a definitive compilation of GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas, included Unreal Engine-enhanced visuals and updated control schemes. Lighting effects have been improved, character/vehicle models have been updated, and textures have been upgraded to a better resolution. When the bundle was ultimately released, though, fan dismay was practically instantaneous. The restored Rockstar classics were hampered by issues ranging from startling visual flaws to game-breaking problems. Months later, the 1.04 update tries to address these issues, with lousy textures and collisions/clipping being the major emphasis.

Yesterday, the Rockstar Support Twitter page announced that the massive 1.04 update is finally out. Here are a few significant points:

General – All Platforms

• Improved game performance across all platforms and graphic modes
• Stability improvements
• Fixed several issues when attempting to retry a mission from the last checkpoint
• Fixed many collision issues
• Fixed several texture art and signage issues

Title Update 1.04 for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, is now available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC: https://t.co/miBLbBD46S

Rockstar Games Apologizes For Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Issues

Rockstar Games has taken to their website to apologize to fans for the issues surrounding the recently released Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. The company says that it is sorry for launching the game in the state it was in and acknowledge that the trilogy should have spent more time in the oven before releasing to the general public. They said that the Trilogy is very important to them, as whatever you think of them, they are a part of cultural history and will be adding the classic PC versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas back to the Rockstar Store after they were removed. As an apology, Rockstar Games have stated that everyone who has purchased Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition for PC from the Rockstar Store through June 30, 2022, will receive the classic versions in their Rockstar Games Launcher library at no additional cost.

Message from Rockstar Games:

Hi everyone,

We want to provide an update regarding the unexpected technical issues that came to light as part of the launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.

Firstly, we want to sincerely apologize to everyone who has encountered issues playing these games.

The Grand Theft Auto series — and the games that make up this iconic trilogy — are as special to us as we know they are to fans around the world. The updated versions of these classic games did not launch in a state that meets our own standards of quality, or the standards our fans have come to expect.

We have ongoing plans to address the technical issues and to improve each game going forward. With each planned update, the games will reach the level of quality that they deserve to be.

A new Title Update is on the way in the coming days for all versions of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition that will address a number of issues. We will update everyone as soon as it is live.

In the meantime, it pains us to mention that we are hearing reports of members of the development teams being harassed on social media. We would kindly ask our community to please maintain a respectful and civil discourse around this release as we work through these issues.

While one of the goals of the Definitive Editions was to allow players to enjoy these games on modern platforms for many years to come, we also understand that some of you would still like to have the previous classic versions available for purchase.

We will be adding the classic PC versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas back to the Rockstar Store shortly as a bundle. Additionally, everyone who has purchased Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition for PC from the Rockstar Store through June 30, 2022, will receive these classic versions in their Rockstar Games Launcher library at no additional cost. We will update everyone as soon as these are back in the Rockstar Store.

Once again, we’d like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding while we work through these updates to ensure these games meet everyone’s justifiably high standards.

Sincerely,
Rockstar Games

The Rockstar Video Editor Is Coming To PS4 And Xbox One

Rockstar has says that the next update to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Grand Theft Auto V will include the Rockstar video editor. No idea when that update will happen or if it will have all the features of the PC version. What do you think of the Rockstar video editor ? Will you use it when it comes to console ? Do you use it on PC ? 

The State Of Mods For GTA V On PC

Rockstar has finally issued a statement regarding the use of mods in Grand Theft Auto V on PC, with the company claiming it isn't banning players for the use of single player mods.

"We have always appreciated the creative efforts of the PC modding community and we still fondly remember the awesome zombie invasion mod and original GTA map mod for GTA IV PC among many other classics," Rockstar said in a post on its website today. "To be clear, the modding policy in our license has not changed and is the same as for GTA IV." "Recent updates to GTA V PC had an unintended effect of making unplayable certain single-player modifications," the company said. "This was not intentional, no one has been banned for using single-player modifications, and you should not worry about being banned or being relegated to the cheater pool just for using single-player PC mods. "Our primary focus is on protecting GTA Online against modifications that could give players an unfair advantage, disrupt gameplay, or cause griefing. It also bears mentioning that because game mods are by definition unauthorized, they may be broken by technical updates, cause instability, or affect your game in other unforeseen ways."

What do you think on the matter ? What mods would you like to see if the future ?
