A Day Before Launch, GTA Definitive Edition Still Hasn't Gotten Official Gameplay--But It's Leaked Anyway

A lot of gameplay footage showing off the updated GTA games has emerged just ahead of launch.

9 Comments

Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition launches on November 11, but the game has already leaked, providing a good look at the gameplay for the three-game package.

Videos posted on Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media platforms provide a first proper look at the gameplay for GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas. Leaks like this happen all the time, but given that Rockstar has released very little official gameplay footage, this is especially noteworthy. We're finally seeing what the games actually look like and how they play.

The leaked gameplay footage shows off the new and improved visuals, along with a new user experience that includes GTA V-style controls. Check out the videos below, which were discovered and roundup initially by VGC.

Buying The Definitive Edition is the only way to get all three games together in one package. However, San Andreas comes to Xbox Game Pass on November 11 by itself, while GTA III will be released through PlayStation Now in December.

In other news, Take-Two recently confirmed that it has 62 games in the works coming by March 2024, though whether or not GTA 6 is one of these remains to be seen. According to a report, if the GTA re-releases perform well, Rockstar might remaster Red Dead Redemption next. Take-Two's Karl Slatoff recently outlined Take-Two's position on remasters, saying it's all about the money.

What about the soundtrack? This is key, especially for Vice City...

@chisoxrule: Apparently, there are 16 tracks missing from Vice City and 5 from San Andreas:

Some tracks were removed prior to the 2014 update as well such as Michael Jackson's tracks. Licenses cost money and this is almost to be expected but, thankfully, most of the playlist remains intact.

@gotrekfabian: It ridiculous that thats how these licenses work. Those original tracks are as much a part of the game as anything else. Once they are put in they should stay forever. These companies aren't losing anything by them staying in. Corporate greed and insanity at its finest.

@Alex4789123: I have to agree, soundtracks paid for should remain a part of the IP they are used in rather than having a timed period but it gets hazy where remasters and remakes are concerned. Are they still the same IP?

VHS, DVD AND Blu-ray re-releases of films and shows often suffer the same issue and many have had to be altered when a license is not renewed.

@gotrekfabian: This is exactly why Sega insists on owning any music used in their games.

If you license instead of buying the rights outright, you'll always have this issue. And it's not just music, as we see with Metal Gear Solid 2.

Isn't this from the same developers that were responsible for the mobile phone versions of the gta trilogy?

Don't buy this cash grab. Force them to develop new works, not recycle old.

My question that--looking all over the internet--no one is answering...

When do the reviews hit? I figured that would be today.
