They had some shitty mobile developer make the remasters. They obviously didn't give a shit and it shows.
Its mind-boggling how greedy TakeTwo (or as I call 'em, TakeJew! Heehee!) is.
GTA Online is the most profitable piece of media ever. EVER. LITERALLY. Every radio show, movie, TV series, album, and game that came before it didn't make as much money.
And their CEO had the audacity to say "we're disappointed with the performance of GTA O."
They eschewed all subtlety and game sense with Red Dead 2 Online to make it as predatory and miserably grindy as possible, with very little content or QoL, and in the process killed it. It's the equivalent of a store owner saying "I'm only going to sell cheap t-shirts and they're all going to be $5,000. I'll be rich!" Like, how do you even get to such an elevated position being so short-sighted and stupid?
They wanted all three of their history-defining titles remastered, all at once, by a mobile games studio of like 15 people, who were already known for having done a bad job on the mobile ports anyway. "What, we already paid these retards a $5 to make the games worse and now you want us to spend another nickel renewing the radio tracks? Fucking goyim consumer asshole, buy the nostalgia already, shithead."
The tragic (and perhaps, now for the best) part of this is they had the GTA 4 and RDR1 remasters planned next, but they were cancelled after how badly the 3D era remasters came out. Literally all they had to do was pull a Mafia Remastered; would have saved them so much bad PR and made them more money, but they're so maniacally cartoonishly stingy that they refuse to invest all but the lowest amount of money in a venture. When you wonder who runs the world and are they evil, think of TakeTwo management. It's really not fiction that they're harvesting kids for adrenachrome.
And actually, the REAL saddest part of all this is that the Definitive Collection sold
excellently, according to a few market metrics anyway. Dumb goyim bugmen niggercattle will continue to buy absolutely
anything and encourage horrible game releases so long as [brand that made me smile as a kid] is on the box.
If anyone I know irl is preordering Starfield I'm stabbing them in their worthless faggot eyes.
