Even by corporate greed standards, the whole Definitive Edition debacle was an absolute dumpster fire. The sheer arrogance and stupidity to force an underprepared studio to cobble up a quick rehash of some of the most beloved titles in history within a ridiculously tight deadline is just mindblowing. Like Matt said, releasing these games once every year for say $30 / piece would've been so much more profitable in the long run. But nobody cares about the long run anymore, it's crazy.

Grove street games underprepared? they already worked on it before and triped on the same rock in an even more clusterfuckery way, maybe if they didnt abandoned the old port they could had fixed it overtime and actually make a good port then they could have had a great base for the definitive edition

@libertatemadvocatus1797 2 жыл бұрын

The reason why is because most corporate positions nowadays are based on generating short-term profits. You pull off something that makes a quick buck and you get promoted or find a higher paying position in another company. So many corporate executives are looking at something to churn out a quick buck with no regards for long lasting consequences. All the people above them see is they spent X amount and they got Y amount in profit which is a profit margin of Z and therefore they are promoted. That's why you're seeing so many corporations making really dumb and short-sighted decisions. Crank out a shoddy profit, make a quick profit, and let the next poor bastard deal with the fallout.

I appreciate that Grove Street isn't being trashed too hard. A team of 21 for 3 remasters for a massive audience of a beloved game is TOO MUCH. Rockstar, who has teams, who has funding, who controls deadlines and QA, is responsible.

@geeknproud321 11 ай бұрын

Grove Street could have turned down the job or offered to alternatively do a focused remaster of a single game. Anyone in their right mind knows this kind of project is way WAY too big for a team that small to handle on a deadline. They should have known their limits. Yeah, it all leads back to Rockstar's poor decision-making with their own franchise, but Grovestreet saw dollar signs. Both are to blame. It's too bad because a lot of Grovestreet's work modernizing and updating the game's environments and visuals is lovely. It's a shame that the volume of work forced them to rely entirely on automated processes instead of using them where it made sense. Eventually these will probably be the ultimate versions of the games given enough time and mod support. But even now in Summer of 2023 they're still kind of a joke.

The issue about the music is that Rockstar didn't even try to renew the licenses, they just didn't care. The most expensive song to licenses as far as I know is Thunderstruck which goes for 750K so Rockstar could easily drop a million and still get the song, no corporation will never sell at a certain price. There is always a price. And the thing too is that if they had to remove songs, they could of replaced them.

It does bug me (no pun intended) sometimes when I see comments asking "did they not even test this?!" or that "unexpected technical issues" comment from Rockstar. Mainly because not only would Grove's Street QA have raised red flags, but Rockstars own QA would have done the same when they recieved mile stone builds of the game, so they knew full well the state of the game but still decided to make Grove Street keep to that deadline. So thanks again for speaking up for QA in general and I look forward to the next video.

What blows me away is, the mods for graphics, fixes and whatnot for the original versions were far superior than what we received. If I was in R*'s/TT's position to remaster, I would've instead contacted the mod authors and gave them lump sum + royalties, along with a plague somewhere in-game to honor all those who worked on the mods (with names etc.). This would've been a huge plus, and done them wonders to get their credibility back that they've lost over the years with GTA Online and RDR Online (Plus lack of DLCs for both games). Care about modding community that loves the game more than the company - check. Care about the original content to the point where you hire/pay those that did the work for you and properly compensate them - check. Honor the original content. HONOR THE ORIGINAL CONTENT. Ugh. It disgusts me how they unabashedly shit on Grand Theft Auto. Period. Full Stop. Then 'rewrite history' by removing the superior products, making it so torrenting is the only way to get it (sucks for console players). What sucks is it seems the soul of Rockstar is still in there, GTA V was alright (base game) and RDR 2 singleplayer was outstanding. But the body (take two among other things) is just.. rotten, and it's been seeping into Rockstar for decades. Just a damned shame.

Just doing GTA3 first would probably also have cut down development time and QA time significantly for the other two games. Simply because they probably share a lot of the code base. So doing the simplest game first would have been the logical choice. Another, probably much more simple choice might have been to just get into contact with various modders, buy their mods and just release the games with the mods preinstalled. That would at least be viable for the PC port. For the consoles it might be a bit more complicated.

To be fair, it was the limited release that actually got people talking; but as functional as it was, and still were seen as decent ports if not particularly shiny like a true remaster would be, that’s about it. Though considering how available the trilogy is, physically, not many are talking much about it negatively these days, just in memory of how the announcement was taken. The only thing required to get anywhere close to this level of hate is to make any remaster that is worse than the originals. But examples like GTA Trilogy and Warcraft 3, went the extra mile and basically tried to destroy any chance of playing the originals on machines they already ran on. And in Warcraft 3’s case, were completely successful at doing it.
