Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is easily one of the best ways to enjoy some of the most iconic titles in gaming history. The bundle is composed of remasters of GTA III, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas. Although it didn't enjoy the best launch, Rockstar Games and Grove Street Games have, subsequent to launch, worked to improve the quality of each title in the collection.
So far, the Epic Games Store and Steam release of the individual remasters have been better received compared to the bundle's initial launch.
With that said, the remasters only fueled the hunger for proper remakes of the said games. San Andreas, in particular, received a stunning Unreal Engine 5 remake by a fan last year. Now, another fan has given San Andreas a facelift with the help of AI.
u/AaronGP went viral after sharing the results of his AI-generated art on r/StableDiffusion. They used a combination of ControlNet, Img2Img, and RealisticVision, to create realistic versions of the characters from GTA: San Andreas.
It's not quite like a full-on remake for modern platforms but the AI art teases at what could be if Rockstar Games entertains the idea.

GTA: San Andreas was originally released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2. It's considered one of the most influential titles in history. The story revolves around CJ Johnson, who returns to his hometown, San Andreas, following his mother's death. However, upon returning to the gang-ridden city, CJ finds out that some things have gone from bad to worse. The game is still arguably the most controversial entry in the series due to its depiction of violence, sex, gambling, as well as gang-affiliations.
Rockstar Games revisited San Andreas with the release of Grand Theft Auto V in 2013.
At the moment, Rockstar is busy updating GTA Online while working on GTA 6. According to reports, GTA 6 is a step closer to launching.
