GTA Trilogy Gets Big Surprise Update That Makes It Much Better
- Rockstar Games has made updates to the remastered Grand Theft Auto games in the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition collection to improve their gameplay and make them look more like the original versions.
- The updates include new lighting options that make games look more like the PS2 originals, bug fixes and visual changes like better-looking high altitude clouds in San Andreas and bloom added to streetlights in cities.
- The update also allows players to run around while aiming with any gun and improves the rain in the remastered trilogy.
- Rockstar Games has removed Grove Street Games' logo from the splash screens of each game and updated the maps to be more accurate and show all landmasses and streets correctly.
- The updates are currently available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. However, players on PS4, Xbox One, or Switch do not have access to them.
- The GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition collection contains remasters of three PS2-era Rockstar titles — GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas.
- The games were criticized upon their November 2021 release for playing poorly, containing many bugs, poor character models and textures, and feeling unfinished overall.
- The updated version allows players to enjoy the original games on modern hardware with some quality-of-life improvements like autosave and a weapon wheel.
- The trilogy is a better option if players want an easy way to play the old games on modern hardware.
- However, the trilogy still doesn't offer perfect emulation of the old games.

The best feel-good movies on Netflix right now
- Netflix has some very good feel-good movies, even though its selection is not very robust. The best of this month's new additions are Race and The World's Fastest Indian, two true stories that share some common elements with each other. The secret to their success is that the main characters overcome their anxieties, their personal roadblocks, and all other obstacles to achieve their goals. Jesse Owens came to Germany during the Nazi reign and proved that their racial superiority myths were just that in Race while Burt Munro in The World’s Fastest Indian traveled to the US to show off his motorcycle’s speed on an American racetrack.
- Other recommended feel-good movies include Matilda, about a young girl who fights for an education and uses her telekinetic powers to create the life she’s always wanted; Aloha, a breezy rom-com that follows a military contractor who falls in love with a spiritual young woman and has to deal with his ex-girlfriend resurfacing; and Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, a behind-the-scenes look into the beloved PBS children’s program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
- If you're in the mood for music and entertainment, there's the documentary The Greatest Night in Pop that looks at the making of We Are the World; Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, which is a silly movie but is also a loving tribute to the annual competition; or The Harder They Fall, a mesmerizing take on the Western genre.
- If you're looking for something heartwarming, try The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, which follows a young boy in an impoverished Malawi village and his struggle to educate himself and build a working wind turbine; or The Half of It, a coming-of-age romance that depicts a happy ending brought about by self-realization and self-improvement.
- And for some good old-fashioned romance and comedy, there's Always Be My Maybe, a clever 2019 rom-com about childhood friends who rekindle their romantic relationship as adults; To All the Boys I've Loved Before, a 2018 romantic comedy based on Jenny Han’s novel, featuring Lana Condor; or Set It Up, a fresh and authentic take on the tried-and-true rom-com formula.
