CVG - Greying, decade-old memories of Vice City become full colour again with this iOS re-release. This is Grand Theft Auto on holiday, all garish red sunsets and top-down convertibles. GTA III's everyday streets felt drab when I first encountered Vice City's airy open spaces; its palette is hot pink and aquamarine, while its predecessor's was grey-brown. In swapping grit for glorious decadence, Rockstar made Vice City one of the most-loved places in videogames.
Revisiting Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was released on October 29, 2002, only a year after Grand Theft Auto: III. As hard as it is to imagine in an era that sees a decade go between releases, GTA games used to drop annually.
Game Rant Writes "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City turns 20 years old today, and many gamers will have fond memories of one of the open-world genre's pioneers."
Morrowind did a great job of open world in 2002 also but unfortunately Elder Scrolls has been diluted since then and hasn’t really progressed at all besides in the graphics department. Sad really .
Pretty sure that was GTA 3, and then it took san andreas to perfect it. San andreas is still one of my favorite games.
"A bumper crop of PlayStation titles make up October’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup. All these games will be available to play starting Tuesday, October 18. Without further ado, let’s dive in. Also added this month: The Medium, Dragon Quest Builders, Dragon Quest Heroes and more. "
It’s frustrating how they barely update that library. I get that Jimbo hates old games, but c’mon, the classic catalogue with trophies was a big draw for me. Was really hoping to get some heavy duty classic PS1 games to platinum. Looks like they’ll do exactly what they did on PS4 with the PS2 library…
Games like Resistance: Retribution have already been rated as well so they have some stuff ready.
I think they still don't have a healthy supply of classic games for the next few months and they have to really spread them out ... so because of all those Yakuza remasters on Premium this month ... they made the decision to hold off putting up more PSP or PS1 games until next month. :(
They need clearer communication on this. They could have said that we can look forward to some PSP games next month or something.
I'm so glad I stuck with the essential tier, I'd be ticked paying more with the expectation that the classic catalogue would be regularly updated and built up. The classic catalogue was the biggest draw of the upper tiers for me, so not seeing any new PS1 games is pretty disappointing.
Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.
fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no
It wasn't a mobile port though? The team that made them did the mobile games but if I remember the actual remakes aren't the mobile versions.
Playing it at the moment. It actually looks pretty clean. I'm on PS5 though, can't comment for other versions. I guess the updates helped a bit
If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.
Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.
Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.
Have they even added any new trials since launch?
Yes, loads - they just stupidly havn't updated the list on the console!
I can't recall of the top of my head but there's been a bunch of games, probably about 10 or so. I'm gonna drop Shu another email and try and get him to tell the UX team to update the list. It's annoying when they don't update things
I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.
Running out of steam? This month is amazing, and the months before it has been great aswell.
At least 3 of the Dragon Quest games are great, Medium is okay, Assassins Creed is nice gems for those who missed put, Inside amazing, Castlevania superb, the Yakuza remakes are fantastic.
Lots of Trials has been added simce launch.
If you don't use the service or are interested enough to first check what's there, why comment?
i hope soon we will see a GTA hd collection
also to get bully on psn in hd like xbox360 has will be nice(i know bully came out in retail version for xbox360)

I bought VC for my iphone yesterday, and it's just not right without a controller. I'm torn. The game looks and SOUNDS so great, just like it used to....all the nostalgia coming back to me. And then, I try to DRIVE.........
