I haven't seen the mods for the GTA trilogy (from what I have heard that exist) but this looks pretty good. I might have to get back into these games.
Lube Me Up
Looks better than I expected but in an era of remakes its disappointing to get remasters.

Let's not also forget that they charged an extra $10 switch tax with LA Noire and didn't even put the whole game on the cart. |
Fuck. So they charged the switch tax and still didn't put the whole game on the cart? Damn, there goes the slight hope I had for them putting everything on the cart...
Surprisingly much work has been put into this, although I'm not 100% sold on the style change.

It was just a matter of they thinking if they would make return on the investment and cutting down to run on the machine as with every other 3rd party. I guess the thinking of 3rd parties hating Nintendo can die. |
In the case of GTA5 you wouldn't have to cut it down as it already runs on hardware weaker than the Switch, and a return on investment is a no brainer for one of the most popular games ever on what's soon to be one of the most popular systems ever.
I wouldn't say third parties "hate" Nintendo, simply that as with every company there are times when they make bad calls, because companies are run by human beings, and human beings are imperfect.

The version that runned on PS3 and X360 likelly wouldn't work ported to Switch, but perhaps it could. Since they are even porting to PS5 and Series they had time to think if it was an error to not port it to Switch and correct that, apparently people still buys it a lot even so long after release (but I saw some complaining that the biggest focus for GTA5 for R* is the online and that would be a problem on Switch, which I dunno if really would be).

Switch already runs games way from demanding than the PS3/360 version of GTA5, like Witcher 3, Dying Light, Crysis Remastered, Doom Eternal, etc.
Just cos someone makes a mistake doesn't necessarily mean they'll rethink and correct that mistake.

Indeed. I am happy to pay the cart Tax if it means we get the full game though. |
Base price for LA Noire is still 49.99 on eShop. I'm surprised they even releasing Switch version. Their lazy asses can't even put GTA5 on Switch which would sell a few million. Probably because they don't want to bother with their cash cow GTA online for Switch. They could just put GTA5 single player game and it would still sell a few million. GTA online full of cheaters and they can't even fix that.

Yes, and no. The GTA Trilogye remakster is a "trial", the classic "if people buy that means people only want this" and "if people don't buy that means there is no audience for this kind of game on this platform" |
Trilogy is likely the test, correct. If this does well enough, then you can almost be certain you'll see GTAV on Switch 2. Rockstar could try to do a cross gen release of GTAV on Switch and Switch 2 to cash in big like the rest of the cross gen releases, but that would also be much more work. The Switch version may be too much of a downgrade however, who knows? Then it would be simple to just put GTAV on Switch 2 like the trilogy on Switch.

Probably Switch 2. Most Nintendo fans are tired of tests. EA would be the worst offender for test on last two Nintendo systems. If GTA trilogy sells 3+ million on Switch and Rockstar still ignores it then it would be on them. I know Nintendo has inferior hardware but GTAV is two generations back game. Not that I care since I have it on PC but I'm just wondering why they don't put minimum effort to make money. It can't be that hard of a port. There has to be some kind of biased against Nintendo like there is at EA. I'll give them credit though they could have just ignored the Switch. So here we go.... Test number one thousand for Switch owners. At least some developers had the balls this generation to put games on it that neglected Nintendo systems in past like Bethesda.
