Summary
Thomas Williamson said players "don't know the whole story" behind Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition, while acknowledging some complaints about the remaster were valid.
Nearly 5 years after release, he argued fan expectations were so high that a perfect remaster was virtually impossible and said only Rockstar Games could have fully met them.
Williamson also said the collection still had many satisfied players, noting the Nintendo Switch version was for a long period the only legal way to play the classic games there.
A major 2024 update later improved performance, graphics and bug fixes, but the trilogy remains a flashpoint over how classic GTA titles were modernized.
