Coupling that with the fact that enemies can be damage sponges and healing supplies are pretty scarce, it becomes quite cumbersome to tackle many of the late-game missions without resorting to cheat codes. Some missions in GTA: San Andreas had checkpoints, but none are present in the remaining games in the trilogy.

One of the biggest issues with the earlier games in the series is the lack of checkpoints in between missions. Here are 14 of the biggest issues that Rockstar needs to iron out in this rumored trilogy of remasters. According to rumors, Rockstar seems to be putting a lot of work into making these titles appeal to a modern audience – such as switching the games over to Unreal Engine. The games present in the trilogy are all more than a decade old, and haven’t particularly aged well in a number of aspects. Naturally, fans are beyond excited to jump back into these genre-defining games of a generation gone by. Reports surrounding the remasters have been backed by credible sources and industry insiders alike, giving some amount of legitimacy to the entire affair. So, we improve the technology, we upgrade the visuals, and we make performance enhancements.It’s been heavily rumored that Rockstar is currently working on a remastered trilogy for the classic Grand Theft Auto games, which include Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Earlier this year, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick (Take-Two is Rockstar’s parent company) mentioned to VGC that the company’s strategy was that remakes/remasters should never be a simple porting job: “We’ve done differently than the competition – we don’t just port titles over, we actually take the time to do the very best job we can making the title different for the new release, for the new technology that we’re launching it on.

This remake has been rumored to be happening for quite some time, most recently with a rating for the trilogy popping up in South Korea. The trilogy will be released on PC via the Rockstar Games Launcher. Rockstar says that it will remove the originals from digital retailers starting next week, so if anyone wanted to buy San Andreas or Vice City in its original state from a digital storefront, now would be the time to do it. We don’t have a specific release date, but the timeframe given by Rockstar for the mobile release is “the first half of 2022,” so presumably we’ll be getting the trilogy on other platforms before then. According to Rockstar, the games will be launching for just about every platform, including PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS, and Android.
