Meanwhile, some leakers claim that GTA IV remastered is going to release in 2023, along with a remaster of 2010's Red Dead Redemption. In other GTA news, fans have already found a "newer" Red Dead Redemption 2 easter egg in GTA: San Andreas Definitive Edition. This led to classification boards to reclassify San Andreas as an "Adult Only" game and effectively turned it into arguably the most controversial GTA game ever.įollowing the discovery, Rockstar had to release a new version of San Andreas that did not contain any trace of the "Hot Coffee" files all the while facing several legal problems that culminated in Take-Two settling a class-action lawsuit for $20 million.
Rockstar ultimately disabled this "mini-game" for the final versions of San Andreas, but fans eventually discovered references to the sexually explicit content in the game's files and modded it so that anyone could have access to that particular aspect. However, using the "Hot Coffee" mod, players could control CJ's actions while he and his girlfriend engage in very close relations. In the original San Andreas version, gamers would only see an exterior view of Carl Johnson's girlfriend's house after she invites CJ back in for "coffee". If proven true, the presence of the "Hot Coffee" mod in the remastered version might trigger another potential class-action lawsuit against Rockstar Games. After all, the "Hot Coffee" mini-game cost Take-Two more than $20 million in legal costs over a decade ago. With that said, it makes sense if Rockstar would want to make the collection unavailable temporarily to remove these files.
What's even more interesting is that there remains an uncompiled version of the collection's code that contains all the cut and missing content, as well as developer notes and scripts. The game still has the files for all the music with expired licenses in Vice City and San Andreas, except that the respective games no longer play them. Rockstar hasn't clarified which "unintentional files" are still in the games, but data miners have proven that Rockstar did a sloppy job as far as remasters go. The bundle remained unavailable to play and purchase as Rockstar explained that it was working to "remove files unintentionally included in these versions." Because of the urgency of the takedown, many believe that this was related to the "Hot Coffee" mod that Rockstar should have already removed from the remastered version of the game before it launched. Rockstar's handling of the launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition has been a mess - they've even had to go so far as to take down the Rockstar Games Launcher for nearly two days. Rockstar's negligence could cost them millions - AGAIN You'd think that Rockstar would actually bother to completely remove unlicensed music from the game's files.
