Why some fans are hyped about the GTA Trilogy Remaster

Fans love the official Xbox Twitter account's response to Rockstar Games. Nostalgia is a powerful feeling, and seeing something as simple as the Johnson House makes players reminisce about GTA San Andreas.

Having the ability to replay GTA 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas with better graphics is exciting enough for some fans. However, Rockstar Games also stated there will be "modern gameplay enhancements."

Although they don't specify what those improvements could be, one can assume that it will fix the clunkiness present in the older titles. The GTA Trilogy Remaster will still aim to maintain the classic feel of these games, so players don't have to worry about it being unrecognizable.

Also, the game being available on the Nintendo Switch is a welcome surprise. The GTA Trilogy Remaster will be on several platforms, so fans can play it however they fancy.

Possible flaws in the GTA Trilogy Remaster

One of the potentially most significant flaws in the GTA Trilogy Remaster is that it might not have all the original music from the three GTA games. Some ports of these classic GTA titles have removed songs in the past.

Hence, some fans might be disappointed if one of their favorite GTA songs is not in the GTA Trilogy Remaster. Renewing musical licenses is a complicated issue, so fans shouldn't hype themselves up expecting every song to return.

Old-school purists might not enjoy whatever the "modern gameplay enhancements" entail. But even regular fans might be skeptical about the so-called improvements in GTA Trilogy Remaster.

Rockstar Games states that they will share more information in the upcoming weeks, so players should curb their excitement until they see more concrete information.

Rockstar Games is also removing old digital versions of the three GTA games. If the GTA Trilogy Remaster ends up being underwhelming, then fans might not be happy as they revert back to the old games (if they don't own it yet).
