That kinda sucks. I also have III, VC & SA, finished to 100%, with little to no issues, but I noticed LCS is not "officaly supported" on my iPad, so I thought I'd make sure it works before spending $10.99. Guess I'll stick with my PS2 version for now.

 

Yeah, that is same for me. III, VC, SA, and CW work flawlessly for me on iOS but LCS is absolutely atrocious. It's 10.99 for you? It's only 6.99. It's cheap and is worth it imo, but it definitely has some problems with it right now, at least in my case...

 

But yeah, I have the PS2 Version and that is good enough. As always, the PS2 Versions for all GTA's are the ones I go to when I want to mess around, even though I own these Mobile Ports, I still play on PS2 mostly. I only play on Mobile when I am bored at work on break or something, etc. Just for on the go and a quick session.

 

 

Seriously? I'm playing it on the iPhone 5 and it doesn't lag at all.

 

Dead serious. I wouldn't just say LCS sucks on my Phone for no reason. I am scratching my head why this is. I am not kidding every 5-10 seconds, Toni will just stop in his tracks and it'll freeze abruptly, and then he will continue driving.......For about 3-5 seconds until it stutters and lags again.

 

I don't get it. It's actually nearly unplayable when it lags every 7 seconds on average...Literally. No exaggeration...

http://lucidgames.co.uk/ are the developers it seems.

Source?

 

Kinda funny that Rockstar purchased Leeds specifically to work on mobile games, but yet Rockstar has resulted to outsourcing all the mobile work.

 

 

Seems like they never saw LCS, or any other f*cking GTA. And also they didn't have much time.

 

IIRC, War Drum didn't even get all the assets for the III, VC and SA ports and a lot of things had to be hacked in to work properly. I can't imagine what a company (who I assume may be) smaller than War Drum did with Rockstar's lack of support. Maybe it's actually really good that they reused textures and changed the atmosphere if Rockstar didn't help them at all.

I'm starting to think that this mobile port was "rushed" It's just that how is it possible that LCS lags like sh*t. I'm saying this because i'm starting to get a little annoyed of the frame rate issues. So far in my play-through i've been experiencing constant lag during some of the missions. And unlike andriod we IOS users can't change the graphic settings like andriod users can. It's just kinda retarted that LCS lags horrible at times but then when i play SA it plays really smooth. I mean SA has a way bigger map if not "huge" Compared to LCS which re-uses the same small map of Gta 3. So there should be no lag whatsoever playing LCS on a high-end phone like the Iphone 6.

 

How much you want to bet when the Andriod version is realeased some time this week it'll have smooth game play with no lagging issues. What was the reason for the Andriod version to be held a week more? Gets me wondering whats R* or whoever ported LCS is going to add to the andriod version.

That's usuallly normal for games that just got released. Developers just test the game on the newest iPhone and emulators. Every phone behaves differently (iOS version, amount of apps installed, jailbreak.. etc) I'm playing it on my iPhone 5 which is still on iOS 9.0.2 and is jailbroken (not a lot of tweaks installed though, just some critical ones like editable Control Center and other things). And it doesn't have a lot of apps installed. How does it run? Perfeclty, It doesn't lag or crash, nothing. But i hope they're going to fix it soon. All other gta games also got some updates that fixed a lot of bugs, crashes and lags.

Everything is double the price in Australia.

[gamerzworld 1,028]

In case anyone was wondering, it does run on iPhone 4s - the FPS just regularly tanks.

 

Also, the first post doesn't mention Windows Phone - which is coming.

 

 

The game will be coming soon to select Android, Amazon Kindle and Windows Phone devices.

That looks very impressive. Can't wait for VCS, and my preferred PC Version as well.

I wonder if a mobile version of VCS would make it easier for the VCS: PC team to port things over for the mod.

VCS:PC mod is dead.

 

What the f*ck?

God damn, literally happens to every big mod.

Not to mention that Renderware actually didn't come with support for Android and iOS afaik.

[Johan 5,474]

Took me by surprise, didn't even know this came out until my friend got on my PS4 during my vacation to check on V only to see the LCS shirt promo during the loading screen.

 

Really happy to see this game finally being "remastered", it was my first actual game in the series as well as my favorite one.. Toni will always be a memorable character to me.

 

Here's hoping this means we'll see it on consoles soon again; even though the San Andreas mobile port on consoles wasn't as good as I hoped it would be.

RenderWare had support for OpenGL but not OpenGL ES (Embedded Systems). So War Drum wrote a OpenGL wrapper for OpenGL ES.

I can't wait to get this on my Samsung!

 

Just one more thing, i heard there's some songs got removed (like every other remastered GTA's on mobile) and a new song added? which radio stations got infected? and which songs exactly?

Awww, nothing is perfect...

• Two songs removed so far "I Believe" and "Spin Spin Sugar" from RISE FM.
• Double Clef FM, Flashback FM, Head Radio, K-Jah, LCFR, Lips 106, MSX FM and Radio Del Mundo are perfectly fine.
• Both songs by The L.O.X have been removed from LIBERTY JAM.
• One song ADDED to Radio Del Mundo, "Ah Ya Zein" by Salatin El Tarab Orchestra.
• Apart from the Radio Station (which are 48Khz VBR MP3), the rest of the audio looks to be ripped from the PS2 version using MFAUDIO - LCS.

What a shame that they removed some songs especially from RISE FM which's one of my favorite LCS radios. I find it really odd that they added a new song to RDM...not sure why they bother but okay i guess...

 

Hopefully we could restore them...

Yeah, I'm a bit dissapointed that Radio Del Mundo is the only radio station that got an exclusive song, but Rise FM & the Liberty Jam got screwed over by removing four songs. I honestly expected the original version of "Rhythm of the Night" by Corona to appear on Rise FM (even though the song was already in GTA V on Non-Stop-Pop FM). It's not that bad compared to the 2013 San Andreas re-release though.

Take-Two issues all their press releases to investors and media via BusinessWire - so it's hardly not official. However, it does seem Take-Two issued a correction for the release that removes Windows Phone - so ether they pushed it back due to Win10 Mobile update being delayed or someone made a mistake.

Maybe you should revolt against the Brits or some sh*t. No army could ever fight soldiers with carbine rifles riding mothaf*ckin' kangaroos xD

 

In all seriousness, I'm glad MSX 98 was left untouched. Honestly it was the only station I ever listened to in LCS lol

Rockstar moves in very, very strange ways.I have a feeling that this remastered version is going to hit Xbox 360, just like the remastered SA hit Xbox 360 with trophies and all that.

Still, I'd prefer a Steam/retail PC version over any console version - though the chances of that happening remains very, very slim, especially if it releases on Windows store for PC
