Can we get a LCS and VCS remaster?

That is all. Two of the most underrated GTA titles ever. Pretty much impossible to play on modern consoles because they are not available on modern consoles.

For now GTA LCS & CW only (not VCS) are coming to PC only with Windows version of Google Play (i think on next year)

For now Google Play for Windows is beta and we can't use it (most players can't use it for now)

Every month I hope that Playstation adds it to their PS2/PSP classics catalogue.

 

But I want everyone to be able to experience it. Xbox owners and PC players.

LCS is one of my favorites and I never played VCS so I would love to experience it so I really hope they get remasters

There is a fan made port if LCS using VC engine. VCS though, it just wouldn't be worth playing with all the music they'd remove, not having in the air would ruin the Phil Collins arc, and the game would be too offensive for Twitter snowflakes.

I'd argue that VCS should be re-released anyway, just with a content warning at the start:

 

"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories presents the game's narrative in its original form from 2006. The game includes culturally sensitive content and themes, and is intended only for mature audiences."

Especially VCS which doesn't even have an Android version. LCS got an updated Android version at least...

I don't think that will ever happen. Take Two and it's army of lawyers sued the people who made re3 and reVC.

Nah, remember when War Drum removes anything related on confederate flag in VC and SA? I can guaranteed that those devs would going to have an heart attack when they learn about Marty's mission, literally one of the very first mission in the game.

As much as i love the stories games and would really love to see them available on more modern systems, i really don't want to see R*, War Drums Studio or Lucid Games butcher them up so horribly. Let's put the art style, countless bugs, downgrades and sh*t aside for now. The soundtracks alone is a concern.

 

While R* clearly took a similar route to GTA 3 when it came to LCS's Radio Stations (it being a budget title and all that), it didn't stop them from completely annihilating Radio Del Mundo with the 2015 mobile port (Just like what happened with Vladivostok FM).

 

If they couldn't be bothered with renewing the license for some ancient as hell South Asian and Arabian folk songs then how will they deal with VCS's enormously expensive soundtrack?

 

I know that licensing is a complex issue but VCS with 10-20 cut songs would be a disaster alone. No wonder why they didn't bother with remastering VCS at all. That and the fact that by GTA standards, it's actually rather obscure among casual fans.

^ That's something that always baffles me about Rockstar, they make historical income from GTA V and Online but won't take the time to renew the rights for Billie Jean, Tom Petty or the kick ass european playlist in GTA IV?

 

Also LCS is one of the richest games imo for special vehicle hunters and with an official definitive edition I'd just expect them to somehow spoil that and make helicopters semi unobtainable.

I’m going to try to say this in the nicest way possible. Nobody cares about Radio del Mundo.

Eh, I actually liked it in an ironic sense of way. LCS soundtrack was mostly lame tbh aside from Liberty Jam, MSX and maybe some of Flashback FM (still better than GTA 3).

 

My point stays the same tho, VCS soundtrack is probably my favourite out of the GTA Series so losing even 2 or 3 songs would suck.

It just feels incomplete not having the entire 3D universe games playable on modern consoles and PC.

All they need is a port for PS4 and PS5 with a resolution upgrade so they can be ran at 1080p, 1440p or 4K. On PC all of this is easily solved with emulation, the game can even be ran at up to 8K on PCSX2 if your system can handle it.

 

The 3D era games are kind of hard to remaster because they have a very distinct visual style and I don't trust that Rockstar, or whoever does all the work, will do a particularly good job. I mean, look at what GSG did to the Trilogy. No thanks.

Though far from perfect, the recent Trilogy Definitive Edition made me wish they have included those or that they will work on them soon.

 

I had the originals in their PS2 versions and I think they were incredible. More so with the context and city changes as prequels. It made me feel 3D Liberty City and Vice City were more like a universe with its time changes and characters history.

 

Sure its modernization would made them be different to the originals in terms of vibe and so, but I'd go for a definitive edition approach. 1.05 patch fixed lots of things and made it quite enjoyable gameplay-wise. Not spectacular neither the best treatment for such iconic titles, but I guess It would be reasonable as a side project for what they might have in their hands with VI or other IP.

All they have to do is make them look a bit different visually. VCS especially

You can't play this game around the hoes though.

Fo real though, VCS was the start of commercials getting darker and edgier (compared to say, giggle cream in Vice City) and that was awesome. That commercial for Evacuator would stir up a hilarious storm today haha and you just know plenty of twatters would be offended by Reni.

 

If Ballas games were too chicken sh*t to keep Phil's confederate flag shirt in Vice City a similar remake would definitely be censored like crazy

cant remember

I recently found out you can play the PSP versions on your computer or phone with an emulator so now I have two new GTA's to hold myself off until some GTA6 news shows up, I never got to play these as I have no consoles.
