Rockstar brings back original versions of GTA Trilogy

Rockstar Games to restore original PC versions of Grand Theft Auto trilogy

Rockstar has finally made a statement about the less-than-smooth Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition launch, apologizing for failing to meet expectations.

“We have ongoing plans to address the technical issues and to improve each game going forward. With each planned update, the games will reach the level of quality that they deserve to be,” said Rockstar.

• The classic Grand Theft Auto versions will be re-released as a bundle
• Rockstar's statement only mentions the PC version of the remastered trilogy
• The Definitive Edition versions are based on earlier mobile ports
• Modders are already busy fixing up the PC version

Updates: An update is on the way for all versions of the remastered trilogy which should take care of the most egregious bugs, but Rockstar has also announced that the original PC versions will return to sale.

Originals: Buying the Definitive Edition will also bag you free copies of the original versions for PC to be redeemed from the Rockstar Games Launcher.

Co-op campaign and Forge mode for Halo Infinite not likely until May 2022

Halo Infinite is almost here, but although the multiplayer launched last week and the campaign is unleashed on December 8th, the co-op campaign and Forge modes will not be out until next year.

Xbox just celebrated its 20th anniversary and launched the free-to-play Halo Infinite multiplayer mode as a little treat – although the pretty sparse battle pass and its slow progression met with criticism.

Overtime: Halo Infinite Season 1 will last until May 2022, which means the co-op campaign and Forge mode will most likely be released after that. Halo Infinite seasons were originally intended to last three months.

Seasonal: 343 Industries' Joseph Staten said the co-op campaign and Forge mode will launch sometime during the second season, and unless that plan changes it means at least another six months until Halo Infinite is a complete package.

Which classic platform was Retro City Rampage ported to?

ANSWER: MS-DOS!

Retro City Rampage is an unabashed love letter to old-school gameplay, and the developers went pretty far in making it authentic. Retro City Rampage: 486 is a DOS port designed for the classic operating system that could theoretically run on 30-year-old hardware.

The DOS port is missing most of the minigames, but it did play pretty well on an old computer and was easy to install since it was distributed on floppy disks. Fortunately, you don't need a stone-age computer to enjoy Retro City Rampage: 486 – if you own the PC version you can just fire up DOSbox and download your complimentary copy of the retro version.
