Fans have discovered a new love for the classicGrand Theft Autotitles since the remasters were released, including the max muscle CJ inSan Andreas.
Reddit user Luf2222 recently shared an image of two versions of CJ fromGrand Theft Auto San Andreas, both of which were maximum muscles and minimum fat. The side-by-side comparisons between the new CJ and the classic CJ illustrate the changes not only to the environment and lighting but the character model ofSan Andreas' main character. Despite the old CJ’s jagged edges to his frame, someGTAfans are voicing their appreciation for the original max muscle look over the remastered version.

Luf2222’s max muscle CJ comparison shows how much of the main character’s model has beenchanged in theGTAtrilogy remaster, extending beyond smoothing out his arms and legs. Although it’s easier to compare the new CJ to a real human, the max muscle version of the remastered CJ is getting criticized for lacking a neck. On top of the muscular thickness connecting CJ’s shoulders directly to his head, the new character model also appears to have fewer or less defined abs than the CJ in the originalGrand Theft Auto San Andreas.
Because of the revamped lighting in the remasters, the revamped CJcharacter model withGTA Trilogy: The Definitive Editionhas more distinguishable definition to him. His face is also more expressive compared to CJ from the originalGTA San Andreas, making the emotion of the character more prominent throughout the story. The character also has improved hands compared to the original model, making it more clear how he handles various objects, weapons, etc.

The PC version ofGrand Theft Auto Trilogy: The Definitive Editionhas already been taken down and prior to its release, the original versions of the remastered games were removed from PC storefronts making the remasters the only way to play the classic titles.
