With GTA San Andreas remastered likely on the way, then, we asked ourselves what we really wanted to see from the updated classic.
A remastered trilogy of Grand Theft Auto games looks to be coming to current-gen consoles, with Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas all set to be included. While rumors have been circulating for a while now, Kotaku seems to have got confirmation from some inside sources that these remastered classics will be landing on PS5, Xbox Series X and even Nintendo Switch, with a mix of “new and old graphics” that retains the feel of the original titles while likely making them a bit easier on the eyes for modern audiences. It’s San Andreas, though, that seems to be attracting the most attention – which isn’t a surprise. It was critically acclaimed on release, and is frequently referred to as one of the best games of all time – even if the violence, gangster tropes, and sexual cutscenes offer plenty of fodder for the series’ detractors. Its freeing open world managed to do without loading screens (interiors aside), giving a sense of scale and freedom to its crime-ridden city well before Breath of the Wild landed on the scene. It was also the first GTA game to introduce the light RPG features that are so normal in the series today, allowing you to customize your character’s appearance and train them in specific skills.
