There are many iconic games in the Grand Theft Auto series. The series has experimented with different settings and gameplay philosophies in games like GTA Vice City, GTA 4, and others.
Despite the abundance of GTA games, few of them have had as lasting an impact as GTA San Andreas. Fans still have warm memories of GTA San Andreas even 20 years after it first came out, and many still think it's the best GTA game ever made.
This adoration for the game has also spurred requests for a prospective remake, and Youtuber Teaser Play has provided fans with a brief preview of one. In the most recent concept, GTA San Andreas is seen running in Unreal Engine 5, and it looks exactly as we had imagined.
The character models and locations in this design are highly detailed. The concept includes fan-favorite characters like CJ, Ryder, and Big Smoke, evoking nostalgia in players who played the game when it first came out.
The idea also includes venerable train pursuit missions from the past. The atmospheric lighting is a highlight with gorgeous shadows and reflections, similar to other Unreal Engine 5 displays.
This idea emphasizes even more how poorly Take-Two Interactive handled GTA San Andreas. GTA San Andreas was released in 2021 as part of a remastered collection of GTA games, however, the developer was unable to produce anything even substantially resembling the idea presented above.
The GTA Trilogy's version of GTA San Andreas was not a far cry from what fans had hoped for, and it was filled with a bevy of flaws that only served to add to their dismay.
Teaser Play's premise appears amazing in many ways, but it also has several limitations. Animations are a significant step down from the industry norm, much like most fan-made concepts, although a polished release from a large developer might fix this problem.
Despite its advanced age, GTA San Andreas has a particular place in the hearts of gamers everywhere. GTA San Andreas seems to be the ideal candidate for a high-budget remake created from the ground up, especially in light of the recent success of remakes like Dead Space and Resident Evil 2.
