Rockstar Games Launcher confirms Grand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogy using Unreal Engine

A few days ago, the Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee rated Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition. And today, the official Rockstar Games Launcher was updated with some mentions about this upcoming remastered trilogy.

The Rockstar Games Launcher basically confirms that this trilogy will be using Unreal Engine. As you can see below, there are string values for GTA 3 Unreal, GTA San Andreas Unreal and GTA Vice City Unreal.

My guess is that Take-Two and Rockstar will officially announce this trilogy soon. As we’ve already stated, Rockstar will call this trilogy “Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition“.

It will be interesting to see whether these remasters will feature any major graphical enhancements over their vanilla versions. It will also be interesting to see whether there are any similarities between the mobile versions and these remasters. After all, the mobile versions of these three GTA games already use Unreal Engine.

Stay tuned for more!

  1. Hold on tightly those physical copies of old GTAs, because they’ll be your only choice if you want to play those games in their unbutchered, original state.

  2. I wish Rockstar would just release the damn source code to these games, so the community could create source ports for modern systems. That’s what kept DOOM and Quake running on newer and newer PC’s so flawlessly prior to the re-releases, and many players still prefer source ports to the official updated versions. Plus think of the modding potential for open sourced GTA.

    Hell, we already had reverse engineered game engines for GTA III & VC before Take Two DMCA’d them.

    1. That sounds like a beautiful alternative timeline…sadly we live in the one where they take down fanmade mods.

  3. I have a bad feeling about this, like they are just porting the mobile versions with a “HD” label slap on it.

    1. more importantly for me.. music! had to mod mobile vice city to add michael jackson song back and others they cut

    1. Show me your gaming library f*g and i will show you mine and see who bought anything from take-two “f*g” you people are hilarious you say 1 things and up doing the opposite

  4. And to think that once upon a time i loved rockstar games 🙁 they were at their peak at the 6th consoles generation.

          1. If anything he is just calling out the greedy practice of the company…but that’s common, almost a mandate in AAA gaming

          2. Using a stereotype as a descriptor doesnt make you a “ist”. Grow up and get over your persecution and victim complex, you are falling into another stereotype and you didnt even notice.

          3. Using a jewish stereotype literally does make you an anti-semite, yeah…that’s kind of anti-semitism 101 my dude

          4. Leave twitter…for your own sake. If you dont know how generalizations work, that’s on you.

          5. FFS you said it yourself, is a stereotype…not to be taken seriously by definition, any mature person knows that, grow up, child.

          6. People form their perceptions of the world from stereotypes. This is literally racism 101, I don’t know what else to tell you. Get off 4chan, read more books.

          7. You read as a snowflake, i dont know in what kind of clown world do you live in, but anything and anyone has a form of caricature or stereotype expression, deal with it, or since when anything related to the jews or judaism has a free card from criticism?
            Here’s a hint, we won the WW2, we dont live in the 1900s anymore, you should be happy.
            You are fishing for things to get offended by, Karen.

          8. I’m just smarter than you and more well-read, its okay, no need to get upset about being an anti-semite apologist.

          9. You are the full stereotype it seems…you should be more humble…you read as a supremacist with that attitude, be worry of not falling into the same trappings of the past.

          10. No its okay I just know I’m better than you because I’ve read like 3 books and don’t use worn out meme words to insult others. Its okay little boy, you’ll grow up some day. Or probably not.

          11. Jews are literally to blame. The ruining of Western video games is one small symptom of critical theory; which was a political strategy developed by Marxist jews.

  5. That Unreal Engine part is kind of misleading.
    If they’re doing it in UE, then it’ll be a Remake. But the leaked doc says remastered.
    So …. I guess its using UE4 as a frontend for various UI elements for the trilogy’s bundle/common launch menu.
    Grand Theft Auto Trilogy remasters are being developed by Rockstar Dundee, which previously worked on the Halo: The Master Chief Collection under the name Ruffian Games.
    The same devs used UE4 frontend for the MCC collection’s UI and menus previously.
    There even used to be a common UE4 error in Halo MCC for PC.
    Hence, this remaster is not actually being made in Unreal Engine.
    Its the same ol’ GTA III,VC, SA code made using Renderware. Just spruced up a bit. Similar to Halo MCC.

  6. It will be censored and will lack a ton of music tracks because of expired licenses.
    Just find the reverse engineered versions of 3 and Vice City that 2K took down like the absolute c*nts they are and play those instead.

  7. Its most likely a port of the mobile versions to the Nintendo switch, which has already been rumored for a while now, but taketwo love money so they will throw it on PC to have the dum dums buy it as well. terrible PC port of an old mobile game incoming

  8. If it was a single game i’d have some hope. But 3… this will just be a copy and paste hack job. I’d be surprised aF if it’s anything more then some piss poor color tweaks and AA.

  9. The GTA trilogy remastered!?

    Features :
    – 1920×1080 support (1280×720 coming later in a DLC)
    – lots of extra skins
    – Use your own pronouns!
    – ALL sensitive content removed

    ?
    Me : OMG! I can get all of this crap for free??
    Rockstar : Nope! It’ll be available at the insane price of $99,99!
    Me : OMG! I can’t wait to be scammed ! Aaaw Rockstar, you’re the best dudes!??
