Why are VCS & LCS not being remastered too?

The more time passes, the more I feel like R* wants us to forget about those two gems... I loved the atmosphere of LCS and the empire system of VCS and I'm really afraid that we'll never get a chance to play them again.

 

Not even talking about CW, or GTA 4 which could use a relifting after 13 years.

If Trilogy TDE sells well then LCS and VCS remasters / ports can happen

I guess history will repeat itself. Like how there was GTA VCS/LCS for PC mod based on GTA VC/III. There might be GTA VCS/LCS based on GTA VC/III Definitive Edition. Rockstar or/and TakeTwo won't be happy about that though.

Why does it always have to be 20 years? Let's not forget Xbox 360 got San Andreas remaster (mobile port) in 2014 which is 10 years after PS2 release.

 

If GTA Trilogy sells well I think we could expect GTA LCS and VCS Remasters bundle in 2023.

 

Also GTA San Andreas itself is only 17 years old next week.

 

And GTA 4 remaster would be just porting PC version in 4K 60 fps to consoles, without changing engine or anything.

It won't be that easy for IV, since most of its optimization problems were because of it, one being based on the console editions, and two the Euphoria physics we all love so much were dependent on heavy CPU calculations, especially at the time. The game's a complete mess, they'd have to work their butt off and redo the coding for all that to properly optimize it if they did ever "remaster" it.

Hopefully, people still remember the LCS leak that it will come to PC:

It is supposed to be ported by Lucid Games but won't be remastered, so I will expect it to look like the normal GTA 3.

I asked a question about this maybe a week ago, and Spider-Vice addressed it here.

 

After the massive fiasco Lucid Games caused when they stole modder's content for the mobile release of LCS, I doubt Rockstar would work with them again.

Really hope they both come to PC one day, whether remastered or not. If they do come, would prefer them being remastered from the get-go and charge $20 for each game. 

 

They could combine it with the Trilogy in the menu selection as GTA 3 and VC also seem to be in the menu selection while SA is the main base game. I am not sure but that's what I have seen till now.

 

That way, both 3 and VC will have a decent-sized singleplayer compared to SA and maybe even surpass the total number of missions.

Good point. And if they included those games in the package I'd be happy to throw in $60 for it. I never played them before.

I think if they remaster LCS and VCS its happens relatively soon, not 2026. Cant imagine they just remaster these 2 games out of blue(or with IV remaster etc), near trilogy release it makes sense.

I don't think they will ever come because of three reasons:

1.They meant to be released for handheld consoles so they don't consider them as a main title gta game

 

2.less copies were sold 8 millions for LCS and  4.5 millions for VCS compared to gta III,vice city and san andreas with 17.5,20 and 27.5 millions.

 

3.They have limited fan base compared to the trilogy games,only gta fans and PSP fans even know the game exists.

That only says untapped potential to me. Both games were PSP exclusive for a while and as a result they received very late PS2 ports, especially VCS hence the lower sales (those numbers are still amazing btw).

LCS probably, VCS most likely not due to Phil Collins being an integral part of the game and licensing issues and sh*t.

This is a crime against those two games, they are very good.

Most likely the fact that Flash FM, Wave 103 and VRock would have to be gutted a lot since Rockstar got a LOT of big name songs and artists for this game.

 

Phil Collins (and by extension, Genesis) have remained cool with Rockstar and continued to have stuff in following titles, even after the GTA IV purge, all the Phil Collins and Genesis songs remained.

Ah that makes more sense, thanks for clearing it up.

I always found it odd LCS got a port to iOS and Android, but never to PC. Was hoping this remaster would bring those too to PC also.

They had a Prairie Cartel station in Chinatown wars but Homicide got removed in IV. It's still a very grey area honestly, especially with In The Air Tonight being Phil's signature song.

I really really hope they remaster them. Underrated games that deserve the remaster treatment too.

I'm a pessimist, so as the DE versions "erased" the original original trilogy commercially and canonically, the chances of LCS and VCS becoming available as new ports diminished. R* was not interested in reintroducing them to modern consoles back when it would've required less effort either, so if R* was suddenly more interested in re-releasing them now, they would "have to" see even more effort, as they would have to be remastered too.

 

I hope I'm wrong, since I also think they're greatly underrated. If the DE trilogy sells well, tbh I can see it more likely that R* creates some sort of Fortnite inspired 3D era online -thing... (Kinda surprised the trailer didn't end with "also coming soon trilogy online")
