PewDiePie slams GTA Trilogy as \u2018another Cyberpunk\u2019 amid major launch issues YT: PewDiePie \/ RockstarYouTube King Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg has joined the growing number of voices unimpressed with Rockstar\u2019s GTA Trilogy remaster, comparing the game to Cyberpunk 2077\u2019s turbulent launch and calling it \u201csad\u201d to even look at. Despite Rockstar Games\u2019 stellar record with the Grand Theft Auto series, they appear to have produced their first misstep. The GTA Trilogy Remastered \u2013 consisting of GTA III, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas \u2013 dropped on November 11 and has been widely panned as incomplete, ugly and a poor remaster of some extraordinary games. Many fans are now in the unfamiliar camp of being seriously disappointed by a Rockstar title. For their part in the misstep, the developers have promised to sort the game\u2019s problems and have apologized for its state upon release. An update regarding the unexpected technical issues with Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy \u2013 The Definitive Edition. https:\/\/t.co\/YP4pkOLQmG pic.twitter.com\/AsfYPuMI0d \u2014 Rockstar Games (@RockstarGames) November 19, 2021 Dropping into the remasters in a November 19 YouTube video, PewDiePie echoed many of the community\u2019s complaints, referring to them as \u201chilariously bad\u201d in the video\u2019s title. Speaking of the graphics, the 32-year-old said: \u201cWhy does the game look old there? I thought remakes were supposed to make them look good, right? They look worse, how is that even possible?\u2026 This is like Cyberpunk all over again \u2013 it doesn\u2019t matter what game you\u2019re selling, it\u2019s what hype you\u2019re selling.\u201d Cyberpunk 2077 launched at the back end of 2020 after multiple delays. Despite huge anticipation and expectation of CD Projekt RED, the game released with a plethora of issues, and the devs were forced to apologize and offer refunds. He continued: \u201cYou\u2019d think these big companies would learn at some point. Like these giant game studios would understand: \u2018we see all these competitors messing up their releases and dishing out poor quality products\u2019\u2026 I thought Rockstar was above it.\u201d Whether the Trilogy can salvage its poor launch remains to be seen, but Rockstar finds itself in unchartered territories as fans demand better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
