My favourite will ever be the PS2 version, yes could be bugged, glitched, with less resolution (not that much), with less graphical power, but that ambience filter... It really give the game an awesome inmersion at every sunset, at every rainny day...

That unique sunny/grunge look of the PS2 original was lighting in a bottle. It really did feel like early-mid 90's Los Angeles.

If you look closely the mobile version had a lot of face disfigurations. Planes flying would disappear mid-flight. a lot of crashes. didnt like it. They killed the soul of SA which it used to have and I am not talking about the orange hue. I am talking about the small details which they're not in SA DEF. ED.

7:17 god daaamn, this is how I imagined the Definitive edition to look like

At Rockstar's office: - We will release a remaster of the beloved San Andreas. - Great idea! Basically, we don't even have to do anything. Check out these amazing mods on the Internet. We can hire the authors of these mods for the remaster. They will put their whole heart into such work! Shit, most will even do it for half free! - Not! Nothing like this will happen! We'll hire the authors of the crap port for mobile phones, pay them the full amount for the service, remove even more songs, and we won't even test these remasters before the premiere. Oh, and sue the authors of the mods. All their works, which have millions of fans, are to disappear from the Internet.

I'm glad they reintroduced the fog in the third patch. I hope they add an option for thicker fog and the orange haze as well.

Original PS2, PC and XBOX versions of GTA SA have more soul because everything was actually designed and tested by humans while most of the updating of textures and models in the DE was done by automated AI software with insufficient amount of human quality control and testing. This is the reason why in the DE many buildings have signs and writings that have many grammatical errors and sometimes do not make any sense and this was not an issue in the PS2 and other original versions of the game. Another example would be the many poorly made character models in the DE. Some gameplay mechanics in the DE are also broken like for example in the DE version the player can not shoot certain weapons while crouching and again in the original versions these problems did not exist.

9:42 it's a marker of the center of the map. They had replace the half pole from the original into red marker in definitive edition.

9:42 This is the middle of the map, in the OG san andreas there was wooden pole halfway into the ground

Man, the definitive edition is actually a remaster of the mobile version. You can tell by the jetpack controls, bicycle controls, fist fight and gym. Everything works exactly like the mobile version, even the camera control feels like the HD San Andreas from Microsoft Store which is another port of the mobile version. Let me list the problems that I've found so far, and I won't even be talking about those glitches. The bugs are the least problems for me because they're fixable, but the problems I'm going to talk about might not be fixed ever: San Andreas: 1. Jetpack: In both mobile and definitive edition, the boosters of the jetpack don't move when you're making a turn, but in the original game they do. 2. Bicycle: You can't slow ride your bicycle in either mobile version or the definitive edition, you can only sprint, while in the original game, you can slow ride your bicycle by holding the "forward" button, and sprint your bicycle by tapping the button. 3. Fist fight: This is my biggest problem. In the original game, there are two buttons for fist fighting. I'll make an example with keyboard and mouse. You can either press left click or "F" to perform a meele fight. In the begining of the game, the two buttons don't seem to make a difference between each other. But when you get to learn those stylish fighting skills, for example, boxing. You'll notice that if you press left click, CJ will fight with those boxing moves that he learnt, he'll squat down on the enemy and punch their faces when they're down on the ground. And when you press "F", CJ will perform the classic gangster fight, which is the default fighting style that you have since the begining, and CJ will kick the enemy when they're down on the ground. But in the mobile version or definitive edition, it seems that the "F" button feature is gone, so when you learn some moves, you will never be able to get those gangster fighting moves back untill you restart a new game. 4. The gym: It works exactly like the mobile version. 5. CJ's walking/running animation won't change based on his muscles or weight anymore. 6. Some NPC characters just look so bad because of the AI automated upscaling. Vice City: 1. Tommy just looks awful. I've seen people saying that the character model looks better, and I just don't know if those guys have ever played or looked at the original game before. 2. Menu sound effect was removed and replaced with the one from San Andreas. I just don't know why that was such a good idea for that stodio. GTA 3: 1. Claude doesn't point his finger to the driver who almost hit him like he would in the original game. 2. Menu sound effect was removed and replaced with the one from San Andreas. I just don't know why that was such a good idea for that stodio. To me, the only two changes that is a neccessary improvement are the map of GTA 3 (which was already there in the mobile version by the way) and the GPS system. Those radio and weapon selection wheels are not bad but I don't think they're anything important, especially not the weapon wheel because sometimes the original way of changing weapons is more convenient, especially for controlller players. The aiming and camera controls in GTA 3 and Vice City are pretty decent, and we get to walk as Claude or Tommy on our keyboard too. But I don't see any improvement for the aiming in San Andreas. They just moved the camera position a little higher and called it a day. And honestly, the so called "drive-by control improvement' doesn't exist. The protagonist still shoots at the exactly same straight left/right direction, I was expecting that they would shoot any 360 direction. Pressing "look to the left/right" button to shoot and release them to look straight again is way more better than having to move your camera to the direction you want and trying to focused on moving your car to the right place at the same time and having to move your camera back because you need to drive somewhere.

The PS2 version will always be the best. The ambiance is just incredible

That glowing red marker is supposed to indicate the center of the map, however in the original and previous releases it was always a tiny electrical post!

If im being honest here, here's my list from best to worst (in terms of graphics and visuals) : 1.Modded Version (SA_DirectX 3.0 and lots more) mainly because its customizable, so you can literally make the graphics the way you like. 2.PS2, and its not for the OG or the so called Nostalgic reason. The orange tint on the game stood out from the rest, and it captures the atmosphere in that one particular time. Sure its the same one as PC, but the orange that covers the screen... Theres no competition. Here's the complicated one, between the PC (Un-modded) and the DE (Un-modded) version, theres really much to say about them... so im not going to write a 500 page essay on each two versions of the game... But for this time, im gonna put them both in 3rd place. Both game lacks in some aspects, and i think both games really need more works that needed to be done. 4." 10th Anniversary Remastered"(Xbox, PS3, Mobile port) Its the worst, theres no denying to this one.

1:40 is that Polaski

"i know all the public bathrooms in the city!" -Wise gang member.

1:51 "Time Up Theme" is taken from GTA Vice City

The original was perfect, and you can't beat perfection.

My all time favorite is the PC Version with SkyGFX to mimic the PS2 flair, SilentPatch to make it work properly on modern machines. Endless possibilities with mods. No game had ever hooked me for so long. Nice to see the old GTA footage.

i do not like how the definitive mini map looks like loi

7:00 rockstar should have hired them to make the remake

7:15 First time seeing Rtx without water on the ground XD

I know flying the Red Barron was way harder than it was on PS2 :( having more fuel was a great help though :) The first change I noticed was the grass at the cemetery Wow! that blew my mind ,cars exploding way to early sucks though :( I hate the rain!

i played the beta and i really loved it. there was a bunch of cool features they actually deleted in the final version. The cars looked better too. I think the beta is the best version!

I didn't know there was beta footage of San Andreas, and damn CJ walking is like someone from The Warriors

3:39 Ballas Big Smoke? xd

Which version do you think is best? I had to reupload the video, due to copyright issues, sorry about that. Anyways, hope you enjoy the video! :D If you have any suggestions for the next video, feel free to leave them in the comments!

it's so funny , they add sound in post prod for all the beta footage :p

They compressed all the textures and sounds in the conversion to mobile then they treated the now compressed textures with saturation and an unnatural shininess that looks at first like an improvement. The ports to console also had audio dropping from every other cutscene inconsistency, broken radio since it was initially dynamic in the original version and they removed songs, and it would restart in a different location if you left your vehicle similar to the LCS sometimes and more issues.

Almost the entire fan base thinks that every classic 3D GTA game had clumped hands. When in fact GTA 3 on the original XBOX had no clumped hands.

i love how the door marker... things, were re-used in red dead redemption 1

9:51 the marker is defined as the centre of the map

I had the ps3 version. Loved that i got a chance to play that. And for 20 bucks on ps store.

0:44 haircut style : purchased

Anyone saying the definitive edition is the worst is absolutely clueless

0:52 the basketball looks like/is a png image

7:13 It doesn't make sense to have a 2010's Porsche in a game set in the 90's

I think GTA SA with mod graphics is better than the definitive édition because they are many bugs and glitches.

No, it's not the worst, I've just finished and had a lot of fun as always, but yeah, some stuff really could be better, like the models of npc, and some bugs that didn't exist before, still, I enjoyed a lot

beta/alpha just looked like the normal version but filmed with an old camera

3:48 Why did Big Smoke joined to those Balla Scums??

That glitch in the Def Edition, with the red marker on the farm. I saw it. I took notice that it was DEAD center of the map though.

9:50 the red dot, I have a perfect explanation in my oppinion. If you've been into making samp servers at any point, this is the default spawn location for the multiplayer server (from scratch) or if you enter the server and fail to load assets, and just somehow it's indicated in the red circle.

I love how they are just talking while the helicopter in the air is reloading

That mission marker in that farm actually is the dead center of the entire map

i can not believe the mod graphics it was OP bro

3:48 BIG SMOKE, ARE YOU? XD

I hope they will fix the bugs in definitive edition

3:50 this ballas is Big Smoke!

Remember, its never morally wrong to download cracked versions of the og gta triligy

9:48 That's Actually The Exact Center Of The Map...In Definitive Edition This Marker Pops, But In The Og Versions Some Billboard Is Present...

First thing you realize is the walking animation, video talks about the markers

In my opinion, the OG Xbox version was the best one. It had the tech power where it basically was a PC and it had the orange hue and Ps2 positives. It also is backwards compatible. The Definitive version is by far the worst one. Terrible character models and the fact that CJ looks like he has had bad botox. I completed Big Smoke and that was enough for me due to the many issues and game breaking bugs I experienced in Vice City. I refunded it and went back to the classics.

9:07 missing music? I literally heard L7 - Pretend that we're dead in that mission (and I'm pretty sure that song was cut from the game, yet I could still hear it)

9:32 middle of the map for those not knowing 🤘

My favourite is the original version, I don't need remastered or anything else.👍

Take that Take Two interactive out of the job and Bounce in (Take in) the Modders 🤣🤣🤣

3:49 Is that big smoke?😲😲

Thats San Andreas With That 1D Animation Style Is the one I know and love

3:48 big smoke

What did you record the mobile port with

one of those vids that looks like a 120minute vid

I'm not going to the Mind the graphics from the alpha, because it looked glorious in Alpha/Beta stage

3:50 smoke what the fuck

Don’t mistake Rockstar’s work for what Grove Street Games have done. Honestly, I don’t blame Rockstar at all except for the fact that they actually accepted to have Grove Street Games develop the Definitive Editions. The one that should get the blame is them.

To be honest I like them all but the PS2 version feels like a complete game with no bug's

The missions were og how they took you across the map to new locations

Chill bois, Rockstar fixed a lot of the bugs on the patch 1.03

Orginal vibe never get old

whats that Vadim M? you talked how steam has some problems?

Carl walking at the beta version made me thought hes wierd

Modders did a great job... They put so much love and passion into making a remaster. But a company couldnt.... Rockstar is slowly becoming EA

3:49 is no one gonna talk about big smoke wearing purple

Graphics mod is way better than the new game, but graphics mods have certain game crashing bug, Idk if this one has those bugs, but these bugs will be still better than the new game lol. 9:50 It was the center of the map, in the original version, Rockstar planted a smaller electric pole to show the center of the map, but it's exchanged by this light

childhood i was 5years old now im 21💯

If we exclude the beta version then; Gta SA original release > Gta SA pc release > Gta SA remastered > Gta SA definitive edition

Cool video but the girl in the song keeps asking me if i was day drinking.

Hey bro does gta sa directx 3.0 work on android version or is it for pc only

GTA SA with IV car physics would be cool to see if it was ever possible

3:49 wait a minute is that big smoke?

9:32 The marker is center of the map. There used to be a lamppost there.

Some of these small things are what made GTA SA one of the greatest games of all time. I don’t want to be buying DE so instead I used a cracked 1.0 patch and modified it like hell. New gun sounds, gun models, first person, graphics, re textures, pretty much a whole lot of stuff

Bro the red marker was the center of the entire map

I didn't know that there were so many versions of GTA sa.

Considering that, the remastered version was released for Android phones, it was a great version, even I play it to this day! But when they sent it to the consoles, it wasn't good anymore, Maybe because it fell far short of what these consoles could process, because having released GTA 3, VC and SA for Android was awesome!

They could’ve did more with the definitive edition like add some new stuff and stuff from the beta to make the game fun when you finish it

9:35 it marks the center of the map

The beginning of the video movies used to look like that

For me the beta version is better than cyberprank

NBA young boys music I heard it’s called kacey talk or ten talk

My favorite version is either PS2 classic, or the Vita remaster

"Massive graphics overhaul" lol... the game looks literally like The Simpsons: Hit & Run i think this guy is the only one who, somehow, tolerated the defective edition..

Old is gold 🔥

The PS2 and the pc one is the masterpiece and will remain

Ps2 version is so nostalgic I like the orange vibe

He bro i have a question Can we run that definitive edition on Android with processer 720g😅

In my opinion, perhaps the PC version is the best of all. But still I stick with the HD version of Android. Well, despite being so underrated or even having certain bugs. She feels very alive, she has a lot of great detail, the separation of the hands and fingers is great and she looks good, and the reflections of cars are very nice. Anyway, I hope that the final version improves a lot so that it is worth the investment.

well at least gta3def got weird performance issues while the other two runs kinda smoother, maybe gta3def contains too much lighting in cities

l just realized they probably took the android version as base since it would be easier to modify the android version in unreal instead of redoing the whole thing

Definitive edition be like: BUGGED GLITCHED BUT THE GRAPHICS ARE HOT

I wish i got those beta version and feature
