![]() Weapon switching is improved across the board with the ability to use a shoulder button to bring up a weapon wheel, but auto-targeting feels far snappier in San Andreas than in GTA III and Vice City, and while you can circle-strafe while locked on to an enemy with a lighter weapon equipped, heavier machine guns and the like still root you to the spot and force you into a manually aimed first-person perspective regardless. Similarly, the “GTAV-inspired modern controls” promised in this collection’s marketing have been applied somewhat unevenly over the three individual games. However, you can’t override waypoints that are automatically created during a mission, like if you wanted to take a detour across town to an Ammunation or a Pay ‘n’ Spray perhaps, and the pathfinding can often get confused as it continually recalculates over the course of a journey, at times resembling something closer to a hastily scribbled signature than the shortest possible route. It seems so antiquated that my original playthroughs with each of these three games were done with a paper map unfurled across my lap, so it’s very convenient that you’re now able to just hit pause to scan the full map of each game world and drop waypoint markers to your destination, like modern gamers would expect. There are some positives, mind you, but almost every welcome addition is implemented at the cost of some sort of buzz-killing compromise. If this half-baked Definitive Edition is anything to go by, I have to wonder if Rockstar reveres its own games as much as the rest of us do. At best this trilogy is ill-conceived and half-finished at worst it’s straight-up broken. And yet, series creator Rockstar Games has decided to pay tribute to this modern gaming monolith and its two equally acclaimed PS2-era sequels, Vice City and San Andreas, by producing a collection of re-releases that cuts more corners than a Yakuza Stinger in a Liberty City street race. If any game deserved a definitive edition that allowed fans to relive that revolution without squinting to ignore ancient graphics, it’s this. The trophies " Street Sweeper" & " Pest Control" are missions of the same name in Grand Theft Auto IV, and " Not So Fast" is a mission of the same name in The Ballad of Gay Tony.Has there been a game released in the last 20 years that’s been more influential than Grand Theft Auto III? From its establishment of the open-world sandbox fundamentals to its critical role in reshaping videogames into a more attractive medium for mature audiences, GTA III’s shadow still looms large over almost every facet of the artform.The trophy "Where we're going, we don't need roads" is a reference to the same quote in the movie Back to the Future.King of Liberty City is unlocked by attaining all other 43 Social Club achievements in the same playthrough.15 are Social Club-exclusive, with 8 being new ( Got Any Stories, Old Man?, Talks a Lot, Instigator, Chasing Paper, Am Walkin' Here, Relief Pitcher, Fare Game, Recycler) and 7 being previous PS4 trophies (read above). ![]() 9 ( Without a Scratch, Escape Artist, Mob Boss, Planned Ahead, Got This Figured Out, By a Mile, Come Out to Play-y-y-y, Liberty City Minute, Full Artillery) are new.19 are carried over from the PS4 version.28 achievements/trophies (29 on PS5 only, with King of Liberty City being the platinum trophy).2 ( Population Control and Where we're going, we don't need roads) were scrapped.King of Liberty City was carried doubly: as the PS5 platinum trophy and as a Social Club achievement.7 ( Hunting Season, Repeat Offender, If You Ain't Cheatin', You Ain't Tryin' renamed Cheaters Do Prosper!, Blood in the Streets, Play Fetch, Pest Control, Like a Boss) as Social Club achievements.27 were carried to the Definitive Edition in one form or another:. ![]() This version featured 29 PlayStation trophies (28 + 1 platinum trophy, King of Liberty City).
