Can't do this on a PSP...

[vettefan88]

this argument is ridiculous.

 

who cares which version is better?

so what if you can play it on a larger screen? I can take my version anywhere I want to go. I too, can plug the game into the wall and sit on my couch, but unlike the ps2 I can easily transfer to any couch in my house, or lay in bed. But I can also go out and play with friends if I wanted in multiplayer, something the ps2 DOESN'T have. who cares if you can do a few extra side missions or a few extra rampages? I have about 10 extra multiplayer games that are different every time. and have a more competitive feel since you not againts the AI.

so the multiplayer in the psp version is FAR greater than ANY of the ps2 "exclusives" because these exclusives are just watered down multiplayer bits.

 

The psp version also has the advantage of being capable of using cheat device. which is just another reason the psp version is better, the things you can do with it are even better than things in the ps2 version. and eventually, when everyone with the psp version is pmg'ing cars you ps2 players can continue to sit on your couchs and re-play the same "exclusive" side missions.

 

And you can't forget the psp's ability to have custom tracks, something I don't think ANY ps2 game has ever been able to have.

 

oh, and the fact that I've played, beat, and then continued to play the game LONG before any ps2 player got their hands on it is just another plus for the psp version.

 

 

I'm only making this post because this is a stupid argument. and jsut because the game can be played on a 106' screen doesn't make up for the fact that the watered down side missions were just put in to compensate for the lack of multiplayer. the size of the psp screen doesn't make a difference. when your playing the size doesn't effect the game. you can still see everything crisply, and I've never once strained my eyes or gotten a head ache playing the game.

 

oh, and to the original post of:

 

The way GTA was intended to be played...

 

well since VCS was designed and made for the psp's screen, it was technically intended to played on such a small screen. so right from the start this thread failed miserably.

I think he means GTA as a whole...

 

But didn't GTA1 come out on PC?...

 

Meaning, it was meant to be played on a monitor

 

Ohwell

You say the whole argument is ridiculous and then start bragging about the PSP over PS2. That is so pathetic!

 

Who cares which version is better? Just shut up and go play whatever one you have and enjoy it. Arguing over which one is better is only going to make people more angry.

 

The PSP may have multiplayer and PSP fanboys are using that as a defence because they are pissed off that the PS2 version has exclusive missions and easter eggs. The PS2 fanboys are using that as a defence because they hated the game when it was PSP exclusive.

 

To be honest, I don't care. I personally prefer the PS2 version (multiplayer is useless to me as no-one I know around here would really have it) but that's MY preference. My opinion doesn't automatically make it fact, which is what some of these posts have come across to me as. They are both great games and at the end of the day you should be happy that these two different groups can both enjoy Vice City Stories.

 

This argument IS ridiculous, they both have their ups and downs and cater for different people. Go enjoy the game, that's why you bought the damn thing right?

TBH we don' really care about the new sidemissions/easter eggs, the new sidemissions just mean more work for 100%...

 

And uhm, everyone is arguing about the PS2/PSP... what about Xbox/PC?

[.:Alex:.]

Actually I meant that some people are pissed off that the PS2 gets exclusive content at all. And yes I have seen people saying that they are annoyed by it on these very forums. That is what I meant.

you really aren't a smart one. it's not pathetic as much as it's hypocritical. And even though the argument is stpid I still had to throw in my 2-cents.

your response to my reply is the only thing that was pathetic.

 

and the psp version having multiplayer isn't a defense against the extra easter-egg, or the few side missions. it's just a fact that the multiplayer option is legues better. Really there is no defensive attribute when it's just a raw fact.

and I could care less about the extra easter egg, it doesn't make the game any better, and the extra side missions aren't anything new to the series. just the same stuff, so it's not like I'm missing anything.

to be quite honest you may have multiplayer yes that is the major upside that the psp has to the PS2 version but to be quite honest who gives a f*ck maybe if people started gettin off there f*ckin soap boxes n just got on with playing GTA instead of arguing like a bunch of lil kids fair enough you have your opinion but opinions are like assholes everyone has 1 and they stink but anyway as a PS2 player of GTA's i'm glad it came to PS2 and so what it dosen;t have multiplayer who cares least we acctually got the game but seriously everyonen eeds to pipe down seriously its a game go enjoy it don;t get stressed and write a 5 page essay on why the other platform of the game is better

this argument is ridiculous.

Yes, it is ridiculous, and apparently you do.

My Evidence?

Well look just below this:

 

so what if you can play it on a larger screen? I can take my version anywhere I want to go. I too, can plug the game into the wall and sit on my couch, but unlike the ps2 I can easily transfer to any couch in my house, or lay in bed.

I'm only making this post because this is a stupid argument. and jsut because the game can be played on a 106' screen doesn't make up for the fact that the watered down side missions were just put in to compensate for the lack of multiplayer. the size of the psp screen doesn't make a difference. when your playing the size doesn't effect the game. you can still see everything crisply, and I've never once strained my eyes or gotten a head ache playing the game.

All it is a flame to the PS2 fans, telling them how stupid they are and how much their version sucks (perfect to keep a flamewar to keep going). If you gave some, and I mean, even one good point about the PS2 version without saying thats only to make up for how much it sucks, I would've let that pass.

 

-Multiplayer: Its a great feature, no doubt about that. But what if there is no one for miles (and I really mean MILES) that has GTA:VCS, let alone a PSP. Then you're left in the dark I suppose. But really, I never got too into GTA with more than one player. Its only a feature that was introduced for GTA: San Andreas, and I didn't find it that great. But I think the one in VCS is more better as it might be the screen only focused on your player.

 

-Easter Eggs and Sidemissions: Great, more to keep us busy when we're done with the storyline. But still, what's there to do afterwards? Barely anything that a PSP player can't do. You'll be able to do most of the same things only difference they have Multiplayer and Custom Tracks, still, just a small thing that came built in the system.

 

-Custom Tracks: I never owned a PSP, but I'm assuming this is extra Audio. Yeah, I can do that too, its called putting a CD in my CD player or play some MP3s. All this seems to be part of what Sony built in the PSP. You have to remember that the PSP came out way after the PS2, and with that, there will be quite a few new fun toys to put in it.

 

Really, in my opinion, this all comes down to personal preference. The PSP is great platform, it totally revolutionized how we see handhelds. Before PSP (and Nintendo DS), handhelds were just these things with graphics that look like a step between Nintendo Super NES and N64. But now we get quality similar to the "Plug in the TV" consols. I have a feeling that eventually, the two concepts will be blended into one concept. So you can play it on a bigger screen (with more controllers plugged in and a large screen) and when you gotta be on the go, you can take it with you. This is possibly one or two generations away, but I have a feeling it will happen if it hasn't already.

 

The PS2 is also great, it came at a time when graphics were still pretty blurry (for most games that I owned.), and you couldn't do much in games like you could do now because the PS1 and N64 were already being pushed to their limits. I think that without the PS2, we wouldn't have had the PSP.

 

Only reason why R* put in some of that extra stuff in the PS2 version is because they wanted to give a reason for people to buy a PS2 version perhaps. I havn't read too far into this but I should look into it.

 

-All I have to say is in a way, PSP and PS2 are both great platforms and they are proven by what I have seen and read. But in my opinion, trying to compare the two is sort of like trying to compare a MiG 15 with a MiG 21. They both have similar a mission, but because they were both engineered at two different times one seems to have an advantage over the other, and with that comes different capabilities.

 

 

get stressed and write a 5 page essay on why the other platform of the game is better

Just like I did.

arguing like a bunch of lil kids fair enough you have your opinion but opinions are like assholes...

Like you...

 

Anyhoo got VCS on PS2, no real difference, It's too blurry for me though, Trails or no trails, PSP is much clearer

[.:Alex:.]

All it is a flame to the PS2 fans, telling them how stupid they are and how much their version sucks (perfect to keep a flamewar to keep going).

My thoughts exactly. Amen to that AT400.
