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

Maybe as DLC for the DE version of the Trilogy.

We can soon play Liberty City Stories on Windows 10 itself with the help of Android app support, we can sideload anything we want. 

 

Good for those who don't want to mess with PSP/PS 2 emulators.

I would say that if you have not potato PC, you should try PCSX2 emulator to run these two. 

Setup is quite easy, and these look still good. Only LCS has some optimization issues where it can dip framerates on top machines, but overall performance is good.

I got that, too. Not optimized in several areas, but it is a fine game with plenty of new gameplay features not seen in original III. Enjoyed it a lot. I think it was my first PS2 game lol

I did and it's a horrible thread first off GTA IV is not available on PS4 or PS5. Second it's an old game and has been showing its age.

Honestly it’s not like it’s gonna look any better being remastered

 

Though if it were remastered, I know I wouldnt be able to look away. Kinda like if you see a pink Ferrari or box Chevy with 40” rims, it’s offensive but you can’t stop yourself from looking at it. Can you imagine what Louise’s baby would look in HQ? Or the real-time reflections coming off Vic’s shiny bald head?

 

I don’t want it to happen, but if it does I know what I’m gonna be watching on YouTube for the next month and a half

Those are the good ones. You need to replace your sh*tty car and drive a box chevy with 40" rims :kekw:

Only if I can put a Pepto-Bismol bodywrap on it and lambo doors and a soundsystem that costs more than the GDP of a third world country and then wonder why nobody wants to buy it from me for 80k a few years from now when the slip-and-fall scam at my local Walgreens doesn’t work and I have to pay attorney fees as well as medical bills out of my own pocket

Fat chance. But if they ever decide to do it, there are two main conditions to be fulfilled:

 

1) Exclude grove street games in every possible way. Burn the studio to the ground while at it.

 

2) Release it just as it is on PSP/PS2.

 

* It's probably close to impossible, but it would be nice to see those two classics run on constant 30 FPS, merely to have something in order to justify the " remaster " bs, although I would be just fine with whatever the framerate was on the original platform.

Remember that Google Play will come to Windows this year, so GTA LCS can be possible (android version of course)

 

Microsoft Store support android apps only on Windows 11, don't wait for it; and Google Play is not coming to Microsoft Store

After what we got with the Trilogy, they'd be far better off just leaving LCS/VCS the f*ck alone. I consider them both to be highly underrated, I don't want them to be turned into some Frankensteined botch-job.

 

On a second note, why does R* never seem to acknowledge VCS's existence? That's the only 3D Universe game (excluding Advance) that didn't get a mobile re-release.

I think its a combination of Phil Collins' pesence in the game as well as the portrayal of Remi. With Phil there could be some behind the scenes drama between him and Rockstar, which would be far from unprecedented. And then with Remi being a stereotype of trans people they're probably piss scared of offending the psychopaths on Twitter.

Funny, I remember a time when "offending" people was the least of their concerns...

Not really. They seem to have no problem licensing his songs and genesis songs as they’ve appeared in other games. I think it’s that the rest of the soundtrack is too expensive.

Not worth the effort. LCS mobile already sold poorly.

R*'s recent track record with re-releases that aren't GTA V leaves a lot to be desired (although I will admit that they made the right call by letting Remedy tackle the Max Payne remakes themselves). With that in mind, I think having the PS2 versions (PSP if absolutely necessary) make it to PlayStation Plus Premium at some point would be the best course of action, even if it comes off as lazier than proper remakesters.

 

It couldn't be any worse than the awful performance LCS has on PS3; the game is a slideshow regardless of whether you're using the original disc (on both hardware and software-based backwards compatible Phats), or playing the emulated version on PSN on any model.

After looking at how these remasters have gone, I am glad they aren't.

Honestly, I think GTA 4 remaster is a rumor. I never seen or hear Rockstar announce it. But I hope they do it.

What Rockstar needs to do is redo EVERY GTA and give them GTA 5 graphics, and/or GTA 6 graphics if it comes out some time soon.

They need to make their way to Xbox and an official PC release too.

 

PPSSPP exists. But this happens

Rockstar is probably trying to see if there are enough patsies willing to waste their money on that bug-filled piece of crap remaster they can create.

Remastering such old games like GTA trilogy was inherently a bad idea, which shouldn't have happened in the first place. What they should have done is make sure you can easily play the old games on modern platforms, and then perhaps remake some of them (personally, I wouldn't be too keen on seeing the remakes of the trilogy, but if the originals were still available to purchase, I wouldn't mind). Same goes for VCS/LCS.

That said it's a pity R* haven't brought VCS and LCS to PS4. Hell, they even brought The Warriors and Manhunt, both of which are very niche titles. I kinda understand why VCS didn't make it (they would probably need to censor a lot of confederate flags and whatnot, which is a lot of work for Rockstar), but LCS has no such issues.

I really hope they never ever touch VCS. And if you Want them to, your a disservice to the community. They would butcher this game so bad with the removal of songs and controversial content. Just look at VC, it doesn’t feel right with Billie Jean and a few others out. LCS ran pretty bad on ps3 through emulation. They will give the project to GSG and they f*ck it up more. Hell NO!! Go play it on PS2/PSP.

They should have also brought them to PC since PC players are still stuck with emulating them.

For sure. What I meant is that it would be very easy to bring (at least) LCS to PS4 since it's handled by emulation there and PS2 version already exists. But they didn't even bother to do that, which is why they wouldn't make an extra effort and get it to PC either.

Well VCS was also on ps3, it played alright but LCS had issues. Vcs was delisted because of licensing issues.  There’s a gtasv with both being ran on ps3. Sucks I wanted them to but I didn’t have a ps3 atm.
