Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Coming to PSN Next Week

R* writes:

'Ever since the releases of San Andreas for PSN and Vice City for iOS and Android, we've received more than a few requests from the community wondering when they'd be able to touch down at Escobar International and return to the neon-lit streets and sun-splashed shores of Ocean Beach on their PS3s. Today, we can confirm that it won't be long now'

They really should release these for the PS Vita as well but I welcome this news

Emilio_Estevez4102d ago

It's probably just a matter of time/logistics.

nevin14102d ago

Or the fact they won't to release GTA Vita game 1st then announce that the PSN version of GTA 3/VC/SA could now be bought on Vita.

violents4102d ago

Does anyone know, are these HD remakes or are they just straight ports? I would still be fun to play either way but an HD remake would make vice city look soo much better at this point.

SolidStoner4102d ago

are you sure? It will look not so good on these new big screens............

TooTall194102d ago

go on psn and download san andreas. its a ps2 classic which are straight ports

violents4102d ago

that sucks I have a huge tv and straight ports to hd res on a big tv make them look blurry and weird sometimes.

E2S4102d ago

WHich is why I don't buy them. They look very off on a big flat screen. Maybe they'd look good on Vita though.

A Look Back at 'Grand Theft Auto: Vice City' Which Turns 20

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.

Where it all kicked off, huh? Vice City is a video game treasure.

ThatArtGuy536d ago

It's my favorite GTA for setting and overall feel.

chicken_in_the_corn536d ago

It's my favourite for story and characters

Demetrius536d ago

A timeless classic that feels fresh even when u play it today

jznrpg536d ago (Edited 536d ago )

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 .

shinoff2183535d ago

Pretty sure that was GTA 3, and then it took san andreas to perfect it. San andreas is still one of my favorite games.

Wait, no new PS1, PS2 or PSP additions?

CrimsonWing69554d ago

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…

LucasRuinedChildhood554d ago (Edited 554d ago )

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic553d ago

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.

Ben Dover554d ago

While the VC remake is a turd, this is an impressive month.

SlothLordPootus554d ago

Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.

jeromeface554d ago

fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no

cluclap554d ago

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.

andy85554d ago

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

VersusDMC554d ago

If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.

Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.

EvertonFC554d ago

"inside" indie game looks interesting for sure too

SlothLordPootus554d ago

Inside is great. If youve played limbo it's very similar

dazzysima554d ago

Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.

Have they even added any new trials since launch?

rob-GP554d ago

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

VersusDMC554d ago

I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.

MrNinosan554d ago

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?
