While there is plenty of new content to get your hands on this week, we’re happy to welcome Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, one of the most highly regarded entries into the GTA franchise, in to the PS2 Classics category. If you never had a chance to experience this classic, or just want to jump into the role of one of GTA’s most memorable characters once again, download it today.
Fans of Dishonored (which is finding its way to numerous Game of the Year lists already) will be excited to see the Dunwall City Trials Add-On released today as well. Take on challenges of combat, stealth, and creativity as you re-enter the foreboding city of Dunwall.
As is they're coins down a sofa, some announced games seem to just disappear. So just where are these missing VR games?
For GTA SA
Meta made a lot of budget cuts and cancelled a fair few exclusive game contracts we don't know if this was cancelled but it's possible and this was announced prior to the release of GTA definitive edition which was slammed and eventually moved to be supported in house by Rockstar.
Since then we have just gotten the mobile versions a d they are actually the best way to play the definitive edition unfortunately the consoles never got a retrospective patch to implement the improvements they made in the mobile games.
But for VR we know a VR mode was found in the definitive editions game files thanks to data miners so seeming it was meant to be using the definitive edition as a base given its ue4 that makes sense. And the mode is there right now (some Polish may be required still) I would assume this is ready to go but meta got cold feet and cancelled it given the games reputation.
I do hope Rockstar forge ahead and still just launch it anyway on psvr2 as it's a game I've loved since day 1 on PS2 I'll even tolerate the de version to get it in VR
From GTA BOOM: "Recently, Obbe Vermeij, a former developer at Rockstar North, shared some intriguing technical details about the ingenuity that went into creating the cheats for the GTA Trilogy"
While GTA V is set in the same place, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas still deserves a complete remake.
It truly does. To this day it's my favorite. In reality though this will never happen, unless they get ai good enough to do it idk lol
This is a tough one we've all seen the remakes of GTA SA in ue5 and they look nice however this is a 6th gen game it's artstyle is so heavily directed by the limitations of the PS2 era machines things such as fog and draw distances were so interwoven.
Ignore the de release but if you were to remake this game it couldn't be made the same the city's are not that big when shown in the hd era instead what would work is a game heavily inspired by the GTA SA and the world would need to be expanded on.
But in many ways I feel like they need to leave the original game alone relicense the original songs and release a 4k 60 version for consoles without the modifications we got and really it should be free for owners of the de edition.
Right now the definitive edition is realistically the PS2, pc disc (not steam as they patched music out) or Xbox if you can tolerate white and black buttons.
It's nice to imagine full blown remakes of VC and SA but I have zero faith that Rockstar would take them on or do them justice. Not enough money in it.
lol@ $14.99 for GTA San Andreas.
Why did they skipped Vice City?
Instead of listening to fans and giving us proper HD remakes, they try to rake over their fans with a "Rockstar Tax" on their older games.
Way to treat your loyal fans.
After the sell the crap out of these re-releases, they will probably make an HD release of them all and make even more money lol
is Rockstar forcing you to buy it? nope.
im getting Big Sky Infinity and Black Knight Sword this week.
