The final location in GTA 3's storyline would be terrific to revisit in GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition. The game came out nearly 20 years ago, so anyone who bothered to return to this location for the mission might remember the nostalgia of beating it for the first time.

It would be the end of one journey, but players could now play two other games in GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition.

Ocean View Hotel is on a street known as Ocean Drive in GTA Vice City. It's a colorful street, as the neon lights and vibrant color scheme make it one of the most visually appealing locations in the game.

Going back to it in a graphically superior game like GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition will bring back some nostalgia for GTA Vice City fans. Fortunately, there are screenshots that confirm the graphical upgrade in the location.

The Malibu Club turns up the dial on the neon lights and vibrant colors that define GTA Vice City's art direction. It's colorful and serves as a destination for various missions throughout the game.

It would be interesting if Tommy Vercetti could dance, but seeing the pedestrians still doing it would also be memorable. It was one of the first interiors that a player could visit in the GTA series. Seeing it nearly 20 years later in GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition would be a pleasant trip down memory lane.

2) Area 69

Restricted areas always feel forbidden to explore. After all, that's part of the charm of visiting them. Area 69 plays a small role in the GTA San Andreas storyline. Ergo, it would be fascinating to revisit it in GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition with its improved lighting and better textures.

It's an excellent location to boost one's Wanted Level to an absurd degree, and seeing some old military vehicles there would feel great. It's close to Verdant Meadows Airfield, so one can steal a Rhino or Hydra and bring it back there, just like old times.

1) Johnson House

CJ's first safehouse in GTA San Andreas is undeniably his most iconic. It's on Grove Street, a location that many players still fondly remember for over a decade. Hence, some will inevitably love to visit it in GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition.

What would be interesting is if the Hidden Interiors Universe would still exist. GTA 5 had players visit buildings with no loading screen or anything to disrupt gameplay. By comparison, the original games necessitated the Hidden Interiors Universe due to technical limitations.

The Johnson House is both storyline-important and incredibly useful in-game. It's a location that many players will revisit in GTA The Trilogy Definitive Edition for one reason or another.
