After announcing the figure of the 140 million copies sold worldwide of GTA V, the call from investors left a very interesting question that opened a new unknown about the future of the franchise. And it is that, taking into account the more than repeated fashion of the remasters of games, what if we saw some remasters of previous GTA games?
A statement more than a question
Take-Two's financial results call left another interesting note that would reveal some of the company's intentions for the future of the GTA saga. In one of the questions addressed to the CEO of the company, he was told about the possibility of launching some kind of remastering with which to imitate the pull that GTA V is experiencing.
And, with 140 million copies In 7 years of life, it would be easy to think that an improved version of previous titles would attract the interest of many players, who thirsty for new Grand Theft Auto content will immediately pounce on the new games.
Well, Strauss Zelnick, the CEO of Take-Two, has wanted to be quite frank about it, and has assured that being an excellent question, he has preferred to classify it as an affirmation, revealing that indeed there is the possibility of remastering, but that everything related to the release schedule is in the hands of Rockstar Games.
A rumor with tradition
The supposed remastered trilogy of GTA is not something new. The rumor has been around for quite some time, and it seems that this special pack would include grand theft auto a iii, Grand Thef Auto Vice City y Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, three mythical installments that brought the franchise to the top, especially with Vice City.
The possibility of replaying all three titles with updated graphics, improved resolutions (such as 4K) and new details updated to the current times, is something that thousands of users are especially excited about, so it would be very clumsy of Rockstar. not to launch a product like this with which to make even more cash.
And meanwhile waiting for GTA VI
The problem with all this is that the launch of GTA VI would be extended even more in time. With the remastering of the three mythical editions, the developers would have extra time to continue working on their next big release, something that, given the time and secrecy they have been taking, could be bigger and more ambitious than we could imagine.
Do you think we will see this remastered trilogy this year? And the big question, would you play the stories again in this new format? Surely more than one will be freeing up disk space right now.
