A friend told me this was originally intended to release as a "remaster" on mobile devices, but since it was running on UE4 anyway, they decided to release it on PC too.
Not sure if true, someone less lazy can fact-check it. Still, absolutely hilarious thread! :D

A GTA 4 remaster could be in the works
Is this the new Cruelty Squad update?

Apparently the remaster isn't even based of the original games but of a mobile port from 10 years ago

I don't get why anyone would buy this shit. The gameplay in the originals wasn't very good to begin with, the main thing they have going for them is variety, edgy humour (neutered by current year), and driving around to a banging soundtrack - especially in Vice City (removed due to licensing fees even though that's literally one of the biggest selling points of the fucking thing).
I'm actually irritated by the stories that they've patched out music even from the originals. It removes any reason I'd have to go back and replay them. Vice City was the best GTA because you could cruise around listening to 80s radio and dumb jokes.
Because people who mod Rockstar games are the modding equivalent of cuckolds, similar to making fangames for Nintendo franchises. They fix the games while Rockstar DMCAs the fuck out of them and they keep coming back for more to clean up after the bull.Why even waste time fixing this mess?

You can't actually force people not to try, especially since they've paid for the thing, but I think it would've sent a nice message if there was some sort of consensus within GTA's modding community never to touch this thing. They aren't wanted so hey, let's see what happens without them. Sorta like Atlas Shrugged: Modder Edition (Autist Shrugged?).Why even waste time fixing this mess?
This project is really cool thanks for posting it.Steam Version, with the corresponding true Definite Edition Project patch. All of which are made and maintained by people who actually give a shit.

III , Vice City, San Andreas.
They've also got patches for the Stories games, as well as Chinatown Wars. By far the simplest way to fix-up all the old GTA games on PC.
The reversed project also had working LCS port in the pipeline (playable, but still needed bugfixing). And already some mods like thisAnd they went ahead and threatened the vastly superior GTA 3 reverse engineering project out of existence
And removed the original trilogy from Steam
Who says Rockstar can't do funny anymore!
