Some of the most recent relesaes in the biggest video game series out there have been less than auspicious. After all, it is strange times when Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, Battlefield 2042, and Call of Duty: Vanguard all have lower scores than My Friend Peppa Pig.

While two of the games above are entirely new releases, and thus carry some serious risk, one would suspect that the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition would be more of a sure shot. Unfortunately for players, Rockstar, and Take-Two Interactive, these remakes are proving much less satisfying than both their original incarnations and the mods players were making of those classic games.

GTA Trilogy - Definitive Edition was not well received by players, and their opinions are not improving as the days go by. Riddled with bugs, glitches, missing features, and bad looking graphics, the three remastered games are now known mostly as disappointments. Just as disappointing was Take-Two's move to send cease and desists to many modders who had created mods for the original games or were working on remasters themselves, while pulling the original games from digital retailers at the same time. Now, GTA modders are fighting back against Take-Two, including one player creating his own remaster of Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas.

A reddit user who signs their handiwork GHOSTinHELL is attempting to recreate GTA San Andreas from scratch with improved visuals. As of writing, it is not known if they are attempting to update any gameplay elements as well. This is more ambitious than an environmental mod, like adding fog back to GTA San Andreas; GHOSTinHELL is apparently trying to rebuild the entire game to look good. It's a monumental task, and one that Take-Two may well stop them from pursuing in the near future.

For the moment though, it looks like something for those disappointed in the official remasters to look forward to, and something made by the community to boot. Considering the remake of GTA Vice City even messed up the Rockstar Games logo, many would love to play a game that shows love for the series again.

One can hope, of course, that the remastered trilogy is fixed up as well, but that will certainly take a lot of time - perhaps as long as this mod. In the meantime, Rockstar apologized and is bringing back the original games, so it's clear the developer has heard player complaints. Now it remains to be seen is if it can do something constructive with them.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
