[The winner of this award was GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition]
Isn't the point of a remaster to get something in a better state?
Nope, they kept all of the old crashes, mesh failures, and noclips intact. PLUS they took creative license and introduced plenty of spelling errors, clipping errors, and more. Of course, it isn't really Rockstar you should be thanking, since like so many other cheaply made remasters, GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition was given to a small studio which is mainly known for mobile ports of other big budget games. To give you a sense of scale, the /v/GAs have more than double the people working on this show (for zero salary, by the way) than a small studio in Florida. But Grove Street Studios had a secret weapon up their sleeve: Removing the human element entirely and using artificial intelligence to handle all managerial decisions, which was clearly an amazing idea.
Don't get me wrong; AI can do some work. There's some insane stuff going on in emulation when it comes to upscaling. The potential is there. But every leap in technology requires near countless failures. And unfortunately, it looks like we're starting to enter that era. Even an automated factory still requires humans for quality assurance, which is something Rockstar, and to an even greater extent, Take Two, seem to not understand.
