They liken the remasters to some of the more robust fan mods that are currently available for the games on PC. Don’t expect a full overhaul of these games though, as Kotaku’s source also states that the remasters are using a mixture of “new and old graphics" and are trying to stay as true to the PS2-era games as possible while still offering some updated features like a revamped UI.
That would make sense if they’re looking to offer these games on a number of platforms but just manage one code base. Kotaku says that Rockstar’s Scottish in-house developer Rockstar Dundee is handling this project, and that the games are being remastered in Unreal Engine. GTA V is just a better game, no question. I loved Vice City, its my favorite GTA (nostalgia + 80s soundtrack), but San Andreas is a better game.
Bringing them up to speed to run on more modern hardware and, more importantly, be able to be more easily maintained into the future makes a lot of sense given the historical importance of that particular GTA trilogy. I remember when this same thread happened (on multiple forums) with San Andreas vs Vice City. Rumors of old GTA games being remastered have run rampant for years now, and the only confirmation we have this time around is Kotaku saying it comes from a source they trust, but the whole idea isn’t really that far-fetched. However, a new report from Kotaku states that Rockstar is currently developing a remaster of that 3D trilogy–which includes GTA III, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas–and is planning on releasing them on all current and last-gen consoles including the Switch, PC, and mobile devices.
