YouTuber remastered GTA San Andreas and fans are calling it ‘absolutely insane’

GTA San Andreas was undoubtedly one of the best Grand Theft Auto releases of all time.

The Grand Theft Auto community was more than excited when the franchise's trilogy - featuring three GTA hits - was due to launch its Remastered version for next-generation consoles.

However, in 2023, the launch of the much-anticipated GTA Trilogy left many fans disheartened.

Rockstar Games handed over the project to a small company called Grove Street Games to create the so-called 'remastered' version.

Unfortunately, the highly anticipated release did not live up to fans' expectations, including countless bugs, misaligned objects, and a lack of noticeable texture and graphic details.

In light of this disappointment, a dedicated YouTuber took it upon themselves to deliver what the official remaster failed to achieve, and managed to surprise the GTA fandom in doing so.

The YouTuber started by remastering CJ's character. Creatively using a 3D software blender, he creates a 'completely reimagined version of CJ' - and it looks outstanding.

He then continues to re-design Grove Street, perfecting every single house along the way before he takes viewers to see the revamped version of CJ's house. Here, the content creator has added impressive details of wall cracks, paint chippings, and enhanced lighting.

Pointing out his hard work, the YouTuber said: 'The foliage is what carries it for me. Realistic trees and bushes, it just makes it look so much more alive.

'Like if we just zoom into the detail, man, it looks crazy.'

And the final product looks phenomenal. As an extra teaser, the YouTuber gets his viewers to take a look at the 'iconic meme scene.'

One fan was so impressed they wrote: 'This is absolutely insane. He should literally use this video as a job application for rockstar.'

Some fans have described it as 'literal perfection' whilst others have said that he's 'made the San Andreas fanbase proud.'

Another responded: 'I appreciate the work you did all on your lonesome. This reminds me of all early development games which turns out horrible in the end because they only rendered a piece that works and looks great, but ends up falling apart in the full release.

'I don't think a remaster a ready to look like this on current hardware.'

Another gaming fan commented: 'That's very impressive! I even doubted about if it's render or a real video! The detalisation is on the next level here! Why don't you gather your own team to try to... Remaster the whole game! 0_0'
