There are so many changes in the GTA Trilogy patch that Rockstar didn't even try to list them - but the port's original devs have been scrubbed from title screens
The GTA Trilogy's new patch is far bigger than Rockstar seems to want to admit, with a host of quality-of-life adjustments in addition to its visual improvements.
Yesterday, the GTA Trilogy - a collection of GTA 3, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas which launched in a pretty shaky state in 2021 - received its first update in two years. From the patch notes, you might assume that the changes were pretty minor - Rockstar says that as of November 12, the game had received "numerous fixes and improvements," and it had "added Classic Lighting mode which restores the look and feel of the sky in the original games."
For those of you particularly fond of San Andreas' sepia palette, that's great news, but if you simply took Rockstar at its word, you'd be missing out on some pretty chunky changes that have been added to the game. Twitter user Besk, for instance, notes that GTA 3 and Vice City now allow you to run and gun with larger weapons, like shotguns and flamethrowers, in a change that wasn't even present in the original games.

Besk also says that it wasn't just old glitches that have been fixed but new ones unique to the Trilogy release - you can no longer, for instance, glitch through stretches of open water to get to Liberty City's other islands. Elsewhere, they highlighted several visual and animation improvements, including an adjustment to the soda-drinking animation that saw CJ up-end cans onto his face rather than into his mouth.
