The GTA remastered trilogy will have a number of substantial visual upgrades as well as GTA 5-style controls and targeting, according to a new leak.

The information comes from a since-deleted article from a Rockstar support page spotted and shared by GTA Forums user alloc8or, who leaked the GTA remastered trilogy's achievements yesterday. A description of the upcoming remaster – which includes GTA 3, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas – describes a bevy of enhancements "across-the-board" as well as a revamped control scheme similar to GTA 5's.

"Three iconic cities, three epic stories," the leaked description reads. "Play the genre-defining classics of the original Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas updated for a new generation, now with across-the-board enhancements including brilliant new lighting and environmental upgrades, high-resolution textures, increased draw distances, Grand Theft Auto V-style controls and targeting, and much more, bringing these beloved worlds to life with all new levels of detail."
