Unfortunately, being right and being out of trouble are two separate concepts when it comes to a lawsuit. In my opinion, the Rockstar lawsuit has no legs because the reverse engineered versions of the GTA games are explicitly requiring a legit copy of the games, and do not use any Rockstar Intellectual Property. I expect the remastered version to be a cash grab.
My personal take: the company has such low confidence in the quality of their upcoming remasters, that they are afraid an open source project could actually outrun it with enhanced graphics, bug fixes, mods, and the like. And that also apparently means threatening open source projects that could eat into their margin. While a lot of gamers will probably welcome these remastered versions, this announce happens while Rockstar are currently suing some fans of their games who have ported it to the Nintendo Switch and other platforms (including the PS Vita), via the ReVC and Re3 projects.Īt least this confirms what everybody thought: a remaster is coming, Rockstar intend to milk the cow. A launch for iOS/Android is also planned for mid 2022.
It will include GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, and will launch on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The remastered version will be launched under the name “GTA The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition”. GTA 3, San Andreas, and Vice City remastered, will launch on current gen consoles That’s additional trouble for these ports, already in the middle of a lawsuit initiated by Rockstar. This could impact unofficial ReVC/Re3 reverse-engineered ports of the games, which require gamers to own a legit copy of the games in order to retrieve the necessary assets. As part of this launch, the game publisher announced they will be pulling all three games from digital retailers next week. Thanks IObit Uninstaller is fantastic.Rockstar officially announced yesterday that they will be launching remastered versions of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas.
I have been using it for a few months and I do not know how to live without it, I recommend it to my friends and family.
"IObit Uninstaller is the best software to remove programs on the computer, it is fast and very effective it does not compare anything with basic uninstaller of windows, it seriously cleans all the rest of the program and so there are no delays in the computer. In fact it is basically just what one needs to keep your computer good to go." Lynette van Niekerk It also has a software updater which reminds you when one of the programs need updating, and the fact that it will uninstall batch programs really makes it a winner. I love the fact that it uninstalls all the left over fragments. "I find IObit uninstaller excellent to use as it has all you could wish for. IObit 'ALL' products are safe' and easy to use' most of all look after your PC's." Jeff A Watts I highly recommend the uninstaller (and the latest beta) as a safe reliable program that shifts stubborn programs! Most importantly, remove 'hidden' coding that the programmer intended to leave, which then brings adverts to re-install again! I, in the past have serviced and fixed laptops and mobiles (android) and always leave them, with IObit products installed, and ask them to regularly 'hit the big' C' and tell them it will automatically fix and speed up their laptop/computer/mobile! :) "I have used IObit programs for years with great effect ! For this reason I stay with IObit products.
In short, if you use a Windows PC, you should download IObit Uninstaller to uninstall applications." PC Magazine
Competing free tools, such as Comodo Programs Manager and Revo Uninstaller, perform similar functions, but IObit Uninstaller bests those rivals with its community-based suggestions and ability to remove annoying Web browser toolbars and plug-ins. This free utility makes it a breeze to delete apps, including stray files that are often left behind when you use Windows to delete software from your hard drive or SSD.
