"The development team found that porting the game to the engine made it look 'clean', requiring them to make it appear dirtier to maintain the original look. Rockstar had resisted the trend of video game remakes as the team found that they required care and attention, but they ultimately felt that the remaster was 'a way to maintain the titles for the next decade-plus' without dealing with the outdated technology. They found that Grand Theft Auto III was the most difficult of the trilogy to update due to the outdated assets; in comparison, San Andreas was much easier, as the original art department had learned to take advantage of the hardware at the time.

The team wanted The Definitive Edition to maintain the feeling of the original games; as part of this, they copied the original physics code. They originally attempted to rebuild some of the main buildings from scratch, such as the player characters' houses, but noticed a discrepancy in quality compared to other buildings. Some assets were improved from the original games, while others were ultimately rebuilt entirely. The team used an artificial intelligence (AI) program to upscale textures before making manual adjustments; producer Rich Rosado estimated that over 100,000 textures were changed. The added navigation feature was also implemented with AI, using pathfinding as well as a***ysing the routes taken by the non-player characters, though it required some manual adjustments; the team found these implementations to be 'easy wins' due to the existing technology. They wanted The Definitive Edition to run smoothly across all platforms while also taking advantage of the higher-end hardware.

The team avoided making the games look too realistic as they felt the characters—whose motion capture data was coded to the original caricaturised wire-frame models—would look out of place. They wanted the characters to maintain their original appearance, noting that the game 'must look like you remember it'. They faced difficulty when working on characters, as they felt that adding detail 'where there was no detail before' might conflict with the 'mental image' of the character designs that players possessed; the team consulted developers at Rockstar North, including some of the games' original artists. ​Much of the material from the original games—such as the source audio, textures, reference material, and character models—were unable to be found due to a lack of archives, as the original development team 'never thought they would have to revisit these projects.'"
