Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

Too little too late. Glad to hear theyve been working on this but that fact some of the mentioned issues still exist (vehicles materializing is still too close, and SA performance) is still not a good look and should not be issues on such old games, even on the Switch. Yomerodes Agree with your post, except witcher III meets all those criteria though even the consistent 30 fps framerate

A crazy fantasy is finally coming true: we're getting Grand Theft Auto on the Nintendo Switch. It's been over ten years since we last had a GTA on Nintendo consoles, which was Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars on the DS, and since then the car-stealing, pedestrian-punching simulator has largely been confined to PlayStations and Xboxes. doctorhino Idk what you ment to say but all these games run on Unreal Engine 4 not on the botched anniversary editions they released on mobile devices. I'm a fan of the series and love open world games on the Switch, but I don't want to play these games on a Nintendo system. It feels wrong to me. I'd rather play the grown up/messed up stuff on the PS5/ PC. In saying that, I am not excusing the developer or publisher for the state of the game at launch. That was unacceptable. Nintendo Life’s resident horror fanatic, when he’s not knee-deep in Resident Evil and Silent Hill lore, Ollie likes to dive into a good horror book while nursing a lovely cup of tea. He also enjoys long walks and listens to everything from Motorhead to BB King.

I really only want to play 3 and Vice City (I’ve never played San Andreas so I have no nostalgia for it like I do the others.) Then we get the announcement of those remasters which was not a massive head turner because these were the games I bought the PS2 for so wasn't that interested. But that made me hope that I may get an opportunity to play some of their games again in the future. Yomerodes Framerate parity will never happen. Best to just hope for 60fps. You can bet that if it's 60 fps on the Switch, it'll be 120 fps on the PS5/XSX.

I could understand botching a port for GTA V (if that ever came around). The game has a huge file size, even for the PS3 and 360. This, however, could have been avoided entirely had they decided to focus on the Switch, then make massive improvements on other platforms. They seriously need to start thinking like Capcom. To prepare for launch, we will begin removing existing versions of the classic titles from digital retailers next week."However, the console could do with some hardcore credentials, something that pushed the limits graphically and was mature rated. Something to prove the Switch 2 wasn’t just for kids and can play major third party games. Sounds like I’ll need to continue watching it and see how it (continues to) shapes up. I don’t want any compromises for that price tag especially on a PS2 port. 😩 Because they're incredibly old, and let's face it, the improvements will be minimal as most remasters usually are? anoyonmus who said they couldn't run? If the switch can run crisis remastered and the Witcher 3, pretty sure it has handle something like Kingdom hearts. SE just lazy Pretty big news. GTA has been on Nintendo systems but not the most popular entries. I love these games, will probably double dip and get the collection for both PS5 and Switch.

I agree. It’s fine and enjoyable. I think it’s worth it because I have nostalgia for the originals. Much better than when it first launched. Complaints are minor now, at launch they were major. Though once again, I should mention that the last GTAV trailer showed no visible improvements between the PS5/XBS versions vs the PS4/XBO versions outside of the lighting.)

khululy ok, well yeah I'm completely wrong about it using the mobile engine, sounds like running on UE4 is a much better solution so it will be interesting to see how that effects gameplay. GTA5 is on RAGE so I'm surprised they didn't just port it to that, but I also know nothing about the game's code. Weren't these the mobile versions of the proper games? I got Vice City free on PSPlus and it was so bad. I loved it when it originally released but not even my nostalgic glasses were strong enough to see any good in it. If it was the people that ported Witcher 3 to Switch then I would be optimistic on the 32 card being used. Like it was mentioned before, LA Noire on Switch was disgustingly handled and I don’t see this being much better. Framerate parity, I am expecting probably 30 fps at the very least for Switch and maybe for Xbox One S and base PS4 too
