Rumors of a GTA Remastered Trilogy comprising three of Rockstar’s most iconic Grand Theft Auto games have been making their way around social media for years now.

If I'm playing the original GTA... I think it would be awesome to keep the size of everything the same and give higher resolutions a larger FOV. But that's in top down... if they make it FPS or 3rd person it won't matter.
