Reason Original Versions Arent Back Is.....

Cause then no one would get these downgraded """"Definitive""""" versions that cost more in comparison, and are definitively worse.

Yes, but those are tied to their trashy launcher instead of Steam (which is much more popular).

So the point still stands

How are remasters downgraded?

This new version is actually based on the Mobile version of the game, which is glitchier, has missing effects, and other issues. People found this out due to there being mobile buttons prompts in the files here.

Now comparing it with the PS2/Modded Steam Original version, it just speaks for itself how they removed the original lighting, characters are a lot uglier, theres bad AI upscaling on text which lead to a ton of typos, new textures that just look out of place.

The style the original was going for is just gone.

""""Definitive""" looks like an asset flip mod, while PS2/Original Steam look much better. Although the original Steam version does need a mod to make it look like PS2.

Originals are downgraded PS2 versions. In most cases remasters have better graphics than originals. Most bugs are fixed already.

Originals are downgraded PS2 version, but its still much more consistent with how it looks. GTA 3 should not look like San Andreas or Vice City. Each of them should look distinct.

Also, modding the Original port to match PS2 is very easy nowadays. So making it the PS2 version makes it much more definitive than ""Definitive""

So you want GTA3 and VC to have worse graphics because originals had worse graphics than SA?
Both 3 and VC remasters have their original distinct color palletes.

Art Style.

The Definitive Edition ports all pretty much have the same G-mod asset flip looking style. While the PS2, modded PC versions do all have a different look.

They still do.

They're broken and should have been pulled from the store years before this

Oh look, you gave them a reason to post the same 3-year old hate video again.

They work fine for me, not that it makes any difference.
