Grand Theft Autohas often been on the cutting edge of graphical fidelity. From when the firstGTAlaunched in 1997 to when the updated version ofGrand Theft Auto 5released on the Xbox One and PS4, the games usually look impressive. However, fans often ask for HD remakes of those classicGrand Theft Autotitles. And recently, one artist showed what some of theGrand Theft Autocharacters might look like with modern technology.
Of course, much of the reason that games are beloved is thatGrand Theft Autoallows for free-roaming sandbox fun, and this has always been the case. And the storylines within the campaigns have also been an integral part of the success, which includes the protagonists. In wanting to create someGrand Theft Autocharacters in HD, artist Hossein Diba figured that the protagonists of the games would be a good place to start.

Because theGrand Theft Auto 5protagonists are coming to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, Hossein Diba focused on some of the other 3rd-personGrand Theft Autoprotagonists including Claude fromGrand Theft Auto3, Niko Bellic fromGrand Theft Auto 4,Tommy Vercetti fromGrand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Carl Johnson fromGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
There were perhaps other options to chose from, between DLC or smaller games likeGrand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.However, the few Diba picked are likely themost popularGrand Theft Autoprotagonists so far. And the HD results are rather stunning.
Along with posting a video to show off the 3D rendering, Diba also has shared multiple comparison images. Many like to debatewhichGrand Theft Autogame is best, and the visuals can be a part of that argument. With Diba’s work, at least now the protagonists are on the same level.
For many, seeing the characters of the popular open-world games in HD just reminds of the desire forGTAremakes. Whether it isGrand Theft Auto4, San Andreas,or all of the above, fans have been asking for the games to be remade for years. Rockstar Games takes its time to create each of its games, often spending years to craft each experience, which is usually for the better. But in the meantime, HD remakes or remasters would be something many would appreciate.
Perhaps Rockstar could allow another developer to step in and carefully work on remastering some of the oldGrand Theft Autotitles.Bluepoint is rumored to be working onMetal Gear Solid.Asking a team like that–that focuses solely on remasters–to recreateGrand Theft Auto3orGrand Theft Auto: Vice City,for example,would give the players what they want while freeing up Rockstar to continue working on new games.
