GTA Trilogy Update Adds New Features

The latest update for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition has introduced several significant changes and improvements, some of which were not mentioned in the official patch notes. One of the key additions is the ability to run and shoot while using shotguns, assault rifles, and the flamethrower in Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City, a feature that was previously removed from the remaster but has now been reinstated[4]. The update also includes a new 'Classic Lighting' mode, which restores the original look and feel of the sky from the classic games. This feature was highly requested by fans and was initially introduced in the mobile ports in December 2023[3][5]. Other improvements include numerous bug fixes, such as correcting issues with garage doors, signage, and various other graphical and performance issues across all three games (GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas). The update has also enhanced character movement, gunplay, and animations, and has improved the overall performance and FPS on current-gen consoles[1][2][5]. Additionally, the update allows players to pause cutscenes, has improved reflections using cube map reflections instead of Unreal Engine SSR, and has fixed several visual glitches and texture issues[2][4]. These changes aim to bring the console versions more in line with the better-received mobile ports and to improve the overall player experience after the trilogy's contentious launch in 2021.
