Rockstar Games en Grand Theft Auto leek een gouden huwelijk, toch kwamen er de laatste tijd scheurtjes in deze relatie. Was het niet vanwege de re-re-release van Grand Theft Auto V dan is het wel vanwege het recentelijk uitgebrachte Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition.
Bugs, glitches en visuele oneffenheden zijn een summiere opsomming van de vele problemen waar de games mee te kampen hebben sinds diens release. In een open brief betuigt de ontwikkelaar hun spijt en beloven ze diverse updates uit te zullen brengen om de game op een niveau te brengen dat we van ze mogen verwachten.
Het doel van de Definitive Editions was om spelers de mogelijkheid te geven om ze op moderne platforms te ervaren, toch zijn er spelers die liever de klassieke versies spelen. Om dit mogelijk te maken brengen ze GTA III, GTA: Vice City en GTA: San Andreas als bundel terug in de Rockstar Store voor de PC. Iedereen die de Definitive Editions heeft gekocht krijgen hier, tot 30 juni 2022, gratis toegang toe.
Onderstaand de volledige verklaring:
Hi everyone,
We want to provide an update regarding the unexpected technical issues that came to light as part of the launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.
Firstly, we want to sincerely apologize to everyone who has encountered issues playing these games.
The Grand Theft Auto series—and the games that make up this iconic trilogy—are as special to us as we know they are to fans around the world. The updated versions of these classic games did not launch in a state that meets our own standards of quality, or the standards our fans have come to expect.
We have ongoing plans to address the technical issues and to improve each game going forward. With each planned update, the games will reach the level of quality that they deserve to be.
A new Title Update is on the way in the coming days for all versions of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition that will address a number of issues. We will update everyone as soon as it is live.
In the meantime, it pains us to mention that we are hearing reports of members of the development teams being harassed on social media. We would kindly ask our community to please maintain a respectful and civil discourse around this release as we work through these issues.
While one of the goals of the Definitive Editions was to allow players to enjoy these games on modern platforms for many years to come, we also understand that some of you would still like to have the previous classic versions available for purchase.
We will be adding the classic PC versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas back to the Rockstar Store shortly as a bundle. Additionally, everyone who has purchased Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition for PC from the Rockstar Store through June 30, 2022, will receive these classic versions in their Rockstar Games Launcher library at no additional cost. We will update everyone as soon as these are back in the Rockstar Store.
Once again, we’d like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding while we work through these updates to ensure these games meet everyone’s justifiably high standards.
Sincerely,
Rockstar Games
