GrudgefromSanAndreas Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Ciao a tutti GTAFrutti! As you all know LCS was released for PSP in 2005 and next year for PS2, however it is set in 1998 which is 7 and 8 years ago. Of the 3d era games distances between release date and setting year are 12y (SA), 16 (VC) and 22 (VCS). The latter 3 were definitely period pieces and definitely felt that way. However 7 and 8 years doesn't seem to long for me... i mean back in 2006 ppl still used phones from 1998 and cars from same year there were many of them, crt monitors were i believe still common etc So what you think?

god speed Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Didn't play it at the time, but I think the portrayal of the internet's growth, the Y2K craze and the teen pop on the radio helps it capture the feel of the late 90s.

KingD19 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Nope I played it when it first came out didnt feel modern to me but I know I had a lot of fun I never was impressed by 3D era gta graphics either even as a kid how I viewed not them back then is how I still view them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I mean, kind of. I don't think LCS was meant to represent a current time period, especially because it was set three years prior. It's a nice pastiche of a time close enough to remember. VC wasn't current either, but this didn't stop the game from being immersive and entertaining. The bonus of having a game set in a specific time is it doesn't really age. It's a snapshot. We can rag on things like that without the worry that things will feel stale. This is how certain aspects of life were at some point, even if they were exaggerated for comedic effect. Man, I haven't played LCS in years. I remember playing it on my cousin's PSP not long after it came out and I was blown away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
