My Modded GTA 3 Beats The Definitive Edition

My Modded GTA 3 Beats The Definitive Edition
A few months ago I showcased a huge mods list for GTA 3 that dramatically improves the game. Today we are comparing that to the Definitive Edition and seeing which one is better.

Edit 3: I am NOT the creator of any of the mods showcased.

Edit 2: To correct myself, there's an option for Planar reflections in the Trilogy that produces a more accurate result than the screen space reflections used in the video. However, Planar reflections are pretty taxing on the performance because the GPU needs to render the scene twice. On top of that, their quality in the Trilogy is awful so I'm doubtful anyone will choose them over SSR that are anyway more pleasing to the eye.

Edit 1: Links to MixMods have been updated and should work now.

And thank you for all the great comments, I read everything!

Thats actually my main issue about the defintive edition: The overall look and killing of atmosphere. Awesome that you are understanding the colour design better than the developers!

[-BitKev]

It’s cool that you gave credit where credit is due with the definitive edition while comparing it to your modded version. I am disappointed how the definitive version turned out. I think they could of took more time fixing a lot of the the bugs it has. But honestly I will probably buy it when it is discounted for ps5

[presidentkiller]

There's a reason why Rockstar went all lawsuit-happy against modders: they were doing a much superior and better job and (most of them) didn't charge a dime for it.

[themoddingprodigy]

They should have partnered with the modders. The game would have been made with the passion and love they deserve.

[AnticipatedHedgehog]

Until the DE came out I never realized how much I liked the old version of GTA3. The dark and gloomy atmosphere is what I'm missing in the DE. Graphics are great but I'll have to wait and play the ps2 version until the old versions come back to Steam

[johnclark]

The worst aspect about the Definitive edition IMO is the fake ambient occlusion. It’s not too bad during the day, but at night or in a dark area people have this hideous dark aura around them, it literally looks cursed.

[cannedbeverage]

I love the modded version, but there are a few things I want to point out. The lighting, while more atmospheric and I guess nicer than that of DE, is obviously much more outdated and unrealistic, adding AO through the NVIDIA inspector or ReShade might improve it a bit but I'm not sure. The old game also has no material system, so car reflections behave as if the car was one solid piece. I think the only way to get advanced lighting in the original would be through ENB or something (if GTA 3 ENB even has any of those features) or if someone makes RenderHook for GTA 3.

Mods are amazing! They can either add or improve stuff in the game and I love that

[mmmskstudio]

2:00 i love that u put Max Payne music theme during talking about GTA III dark atmosphere . Amazing !

[attilafekete]

Conclusion: The modded definitive edition with all of the additions of previous mods will be truly amazing.

[saulgoodman]

Very good video, thank you so much for an unbiased review and being able to actually list some things that the definitive edition did better instead of ignoring these and just bashing the game like everyone else!

[tamoghnapal]

Imagine if these mods were applied to the Definitive Edition, with a mod to restore the old character models, it would have the full power of Unreal Engine 4 but be what these games should've looked like

[elggiggatuvepos]

Good comparison video. What's really sad is a lot of people would probably prefer the "Definitive" GTA editions over the [unmodded] originals because "they look rather pretty". As gamers we've gone from "Graphics don't make the game" to "Polygons bad, low-res texture bad, older videogame = waste of time" or similar derivative thereof.

[zebracherub]

I sincerely appreciate how you were objective and fair, and pointed out pros and cons from each game 👌

[secretagent]

I think a lot of issues could have been avoided if the PC version was used, as PC version was more stable than mobile version, then modding the definitive edition will be much easier and also a variety of many mods would have been created in the process

[synthnation]

I'm really excited when there's a mod recommend video for Gta Trilogy. It's also the first time that I had to learn and install mod for a game 😂, the thing is that R* sell these games on digital stores and didn't even try to update the game to be playable is just.... speechless. thankfully we have a lot of talent Modders that care and actually fixing these beloved games, and even got a better results than whatever crap R* is trying to do (and yet they still got a shit treatment from R* and T2)

[tmoverdriveyt]

How to make a good remaster:
mod the hell out of the game while keeping the original feel.

[igorpolyakov]

There's actually an HD version of Claude for the original made by OnePiece, who is also the author of the HD cars. Although after sharing pictures of him on Steam, not too many people were fans, but I suppose it's a matter of personal taste.

[goodengaemz]

I would really like to see another part of your gta remastered series but for gta 4. Also guides on how to mod the games would be good.
