Since theGrand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionhit store shelves earlier last month, it’s safe to say that the overall public perception of the collection is far from glowing. Fromin-game typos inside ofGrand Theft Auto 3to level breaking glitches in others, gamers are unhappy with the many amateur mistakes that hurt the overall experience. Now, fans have set their crosshairs on one potentially lazy blunder that can be seen inGrand Theft Auto San Andreas.
For the uninitiated,Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Editionis a remastered assemblage that aims to improve the experience of three defining PS2-era Rockstar titles:Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. AlthoughGTA Trilogyadditions such as updated scenic environmentsplus increased draw distance sound like a dream come true, a significant number of problematic errors and slip-ups resulted in the trilogy being a nostalgic nightmare for many fans. With all this in mind, it’s no surprise that the games have been met with negative user reviews on sites like Metacritic.

To supplement the ever-growing laundry list of features in the trilogy that fans seem to disfavor, gamers have found distorted images of weapons fromGrand Theft Auto 5inGTA: San Andreas - Definitive Edition. The post created by Reddit user ParsnipEcstatic9013 shows CJ standing outside an Ammu-Nation in San Fierro looking at the foreign yet familiar guns in the window. More specifically, the “Military Rifle,” “Assault Rifle MK2,” and the “Heavy Shotgun” are plastered all over the store window, including a cut “Assault” sniper rifle.
After the post made the rounds, replies to the image debated whether it was a lackadaisical effort in the trilogy to save time developing new textures or a reference to Rockstar’s other work like howMichael’s Jacket fromGTA 5is inVice City. After all, fans are still discovering new Easter eggs in the collection even a month after release. With that said, the consensus seems to fall under the prior, as all the weapons are comically large, with the “Military Rifle” and the “Heavy Shotgun” unrealistically towering CJ in height.
Seemingly careless features like this have ultimately hurt the re-release of these once industry-defining games. Despite that, it should come as some relief to fans thatRockstar Games has updated theGTA Trilogywith patchesmeaning CJ’s adventures inSan Andreasshould run a little smoother. Although, one can only hope the developers remake most of the incorrect in-game textures for immersion’s sake.
