More than portages?
Rockstar’s original goal was to release this Florilge earlier this year and even offer it to GTA V Next-Gen buyers before opting for a release grouped as a download, the American website explains that plans are subject to change before it arrives.
That is Rock star Dundee, Ex-Ruffian Games who worked on Crackdown 2, Kinect Star Wars, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection would have been entrusted with the task. A restoration under Unreal Engine, presented as a mixture of old and new graphics, with a revised surface, but without distorting the original style. And by sticking to the PS2 era as much as possible. If this rebirth draws crowds Rockstar could launch other ports on current machines, such as that of Red Dead Redemption.
In principle, a facelift on the pritties of Claude, Tommy Vercetti and CJ is enough to make you dream. But we are now waiting for a confirmation … or a rejection.
