SETTING

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition is split into 3 individual games and take place in a variety of different fictional cities which are well known throughout the GTA Series. Grand Theft Auto III takes place in Liberty City which is based on New York City; Grand Theft Auto: Vice City which is set in, well, Vice City. This is based on the real-life Miami and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which is split between Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas, being the real-life Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas. 

Some newer players of the Grand Theft Auto franchise who may not have played these classic games may be more familiar with the more recent versions of Liberty City (from GTA IV) and San Andreas (from GTA V). It is unknown on what the setting of the three titles looks like in the enhanced versions as there has been no footage released, however you can read more below about the specific settings about each title by clicking the icons below.

       

 

STORYLINE

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition features Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Each game is set in what originally was known as the ‘3D GTA Universe’, which means the stories are linked together in some form, although each title is set during different decades. GTA III is set during the year 2001, GTA: Vice City is set during 1986 and GTA: San Andreas is set during the year 1992. Some characters in each title appear in the other but only a handful. 

It is currently unknown if there are any alterations made to the stories from each game in The Definitive Edition, however it is unlikely. If there are any changes, we highly doubt they will be of a major nature which would completely change the storyline.
