Streamer Ilya Maddyson Davydov appreciated the GTA III remaster from GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition . He was pleased with the new product from Rockstar.
Ilya Maddyson Davydov:
“Dude, the windows in the building are not just sprites, I see depth, the effect of presence is very strong. What city, what is the drawing distance – a little soapy, but the game looks better than Cyberpunk 2077, to be honest. Over the price of graphics, there are no complaints at all, realizing that this is a game that is a hundred years old and that looked just awful. <...> It seems to me that people are mad with fat, honestly. What did they expect in general? Well, yes, everything looks unusual, cartoonish, but, apparently, people have not seen for a long time what a simple GTA III looks like – all square, miserable. “
Maddison also noted the key, in his opinion, disadvantage:
Ilya Maddyson Davydov:
“To be honest, there is still a small minus because of this cartoonishness. GTA III, despite the fact that it was an ancient and wretched game, has its own kind of noir atmosphere. It rained constantly, the colors were cool. Again, this fog, which I did not particularly like. But there was something like that, some kind of dirt on the street. She was so criminal. I don't know if it happened on purpose at Rockstar, or if they didn't even think about it, the game was perceived as cold. Here it is colorful. “
Maddison noted that in 2021 GTA III is very similar to the games of the LEGO series – what previously seemed realistic due to the lack of such graphics in video games, in principle, began to look plastic.
Ilya Maddyson Davydov:
“In general, the game from the classics, in which there was a wow effect, which was that it was impossible even to imagine a game in a three-dimensional city like that, turned into just a mobile phone where Lego people run around the city.”
