On the plus side, the people who said Rockstar would drop some news today to distract from the union stuff we're right, ...they didn't specify if it was good or bad news 😏

What if Grand Theft Auto III was the last 3D era game released? Well GTA LC01 answers that question, reimagining, remastering and revamping GTA3 to include a design and look that take into account the events and lore of VC, SA, both Stories titles AND GTA Advance!

Fusion Fix gets mentioned twice and is shown for about 10 seconds 😂
A modding marvel: Grand Theft Auto 4 PC was a disaster port at launch - but today it's transforming into a path-traced showcase via a bespoke RTX Remix mod. Alex has the full, amazing, story: youtu.be/vGxPdcMQfwg

Ok, seems like Fusion Fix will at least get mentioned which is better than nothing, curious to see how cut down it will be.
I cover Fusion Fix briefly in the video - original plan was to cover both RTX and Fusion Fix in one video but the video needs to be out today (5 day long production here). So I reduced scope including a larger section in Fusion Fix.

DF are finally covering GTA IV on PC and sadly it's just the RTX stuff, sorta feels like all the work we've done for Fusion Fix is being ignored for something shiny instead.

Just a suggestion, if you're playing through GTA IV and you have Fusion Fix installed, you might want to give it a quick spin tomorrow 👀

In the 2023 GTA 5 source leak, a number of documents were included.
One was about the design of the games seabed, and in it there was a lot of screenshots from Rockstar's scrapped game "Agent" (codenamed jimmy) as references or for reusing assets from it.

Another game "finished", completed all the main campaign washes on PowerWash Simulator, might try and get some lingering achievements. Just in time for PowerWash Simulator 2 as well!

Corona flares is yet another thing that does not scale to resolution in GTA, and affects all three games in the trilogy! This explains why the sun and emergency vehicle sirens felt "downgraded" on PC when compared to the PS2.
