Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is still considered today one of the most loved episodes of the historic series by Rockstar Games. Its recent re-release as part of the GTA Trilogy has caused a lot of discussion due to the new graphic style and technical problems that have emerged, further proof of the affection of the players towards CJ’s adventure.
But if the GTA Trilogy six months later still doesn’t convince you despite the refinements made by Rockstar, a reconstruction of Groove Street in Unreal Engine 5 could make you travel far enough with the imagination, trying to imagine what a real remake of San could be like. Andreas. The Youtube channel TeaserPlay shows the iconic neighborhood of Los Santos with all the power of the new graphics engine from Epic Games, with enormous attention paid to all the details of buildings, cars and lighting effects.
Also impressive is the polygonal model of CJ made by the artist Hossein Diba, which looks to all intents and purposes straight out of a latest-generation game, although it is not possible to see it in motion. The approximately two-minute footage obviously doesn’t show gameplay sequences, but convincingly exploits the technical capabilities of the latest version of the Unreal Engine, delivering a more realistic Groove Street than ever.
With GTA 6 still far from its release, who knows what results in Rockstar can achieve on the technical front with the new, highly anticipated chapter of the series.
