Hope it's also released on current gen.

I believe that console versions are ports of this (which in turn is a port of a mobile release of GTA:SA, it already supports 16:9 resolutions and so on) and the Steam version is just a release of this one.

Can't wait to be a busta.

I wonder if there will be a discount for those of us that got the Xbox Original DL version. Will check if I can redownload it.

 

[funkystudent]

Would be great on vita.

 

[Boke1879]

Hoping this finds its way on the PS4 and XB1. Would sell gangbusters.

No. There won't be. No way in hell.

16 : 9, native 720p and a smooth (hopefully 60 ?) framerate would be pretty good too though (for those who've never played it on a half-decent PC).

 

[Taker34]

This game on vita would be really great. Actually the whole trilogy can be pretty successful since they only need to port the iOS/android version.

 

[OraleeWey]

What if it has online support!!?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Game is normally locked to 25fps isn't it? Have to unlock it on PC.

 

[User 479360]

I never played Vice City Stories (stupid, I know, since I loved Vice City) but I rarely used my PSP. My OCD prevents me from taking handhelds out of my home.

I'd love a remaster of it and LCS for Vita.

 

[Leflus]

I would have down like a clown for this after GTA4 but before GTA5.

Now? I'm not so sure. Depends on how much work they put into it.

 

[Tsunamo]

Will be great to replay it again in HD.

A Vita and/or current gen release would be great aswell, but i'll take what I can get for platforms.

Buy it! Seriously it's great especially for a PSP game.

True, should be an easy port, just patch in trophies and boom.

 

[Khaos_Knight]

But I already own the regular PC version.

 

[Syph Medwes]

I hope it also comes to XONE/PS4.

I would honestly pay for the PS2 version on PS4 if all they added were trophies.

 

[SillyJoe]

Game is normally locked to 25fps isn't it?

Yeah, and even then you can only unlock it to 30fps unless you want abnormal physics which kind of ruin the game completely.

It'd be nice to see Rockstar fix that.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

It would be incredibly easy, and even with the Vita's small but dedicated userbase, it'd most certainly make a profit.

But it ain't happening.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

It'd be nice to see Rockstar fix that.

I thought Grief or someone here had posted instructions to run it at 60fps without breaking the game.

 

[Gamesadict]

Anniversary is in only 4 days, maybe release next week?

I really want an excuse to play this again.

 

[Pudge]

The PC version of GTA SA has been getting some pretty regular testing with new beta depots spotted. Not sure what is happening there. One of the early betas was briefly not password protected and a gaffer found it to have xinput and proper widescreen support. Also some music licencing issues are being dealt with, as had occured with Vice City. Seems old owners may get to keep the old music, but new users won't.

Will be interesting to see what is happening on 360.

This makes me happy. More devs should put time into their old PC ports to make them playable. 2004-2008 was a bad time for all of us.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I'll buy this on PC no matter what but I really want this game on vita. It'd be so perfect.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Loving all the Vita responses. Wish Rockstar read these threads.

 

[NoCryingUntilTheEnd]

.

omg thank you. Still doesn't confirm lock-on, but it's a step in the right direction.

 

[industrian]

Each version has it's benefits.

PS2 - Best lighting but poor IQ and framerate. Worst controls, loading and pop-up issues (though these improve a lot with a hard-drive i.e playing on a PS3).

XBOX - Improved somewhat graphically (better than the DP in some ways but overall worse, especially the IQ) and controlled great (especially on the 360). My go-to version but very disappointing port.

PC - Could look way better (but had terrible controls).

Still can you enlighten me on why they removed, the other versions just look sterile without it.

In aircraft yes.

On foot and in vehicles? Not really. Combat is ridiculously easy with mouse controls.

 

[Prologue]

Need some Vice City love

 

[Allez Phill]

I hope they update the sound. The sound design in GTA: SA is horrible, makes me not want to play it.

 

[Cornbread78]

Somebody start sending out some tweets. It would print money, and Sony should flip the bill I mean, it would definately be in a ver y affordable price range for them to fund it with 2K/ R*

 

[BasilZero]

Would also be nice to see the gta stories from psp remastered ;(

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

I finished it only once, at the time of release, on PS2. Loved it, restarted it countless times, but never got to the end again.

I always want to replay the PC version (I did, for 5 hours, a couple of years ago), but the keyboard controls constantly put me off. For some reason, it's one of those games that needs proper controller support.

 

[shamanick]

Could this be the "cool thing" the PS4 owners get? Free San Andreas HD?

I'd probably buy the bundle just for San Andreas HD

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

gta sa isnt going to hold up well after playing gta 5. dont see the point to this tbh considering any modern pc/laptop can run it, just buy from steam

 

[Jawmuncher]

Well we know that Rockstar will more than likely end up redoing the GTA Stories for iOS at least.

What gives you that idea...?

 

[Off-Kilter]

What with GTA V Remastered on the horizon, and Rockstar seemingly moving on to current gen, I'm gonna file this under "doubtful"

 

[Jawmuncher]

What gives you that idea...?

They've redone GTA 3, Vice City, and SA.
Each of them being top sellers. Don't think they would stop there when they have 2 other titles from the same era. Chinatown Wars even came to ios.

Achievements for a game don't appear.

This is happening.

The questions are:
when?
how much?
Current gen?

 

[Dobsie]

I hope it keeps the multiplayer part of the original gta sa where you could only be ~100ft away from the other player

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

I had a surprising amount of fun with this back in the day. There wasn't much to it but still.

But while we're on the subject of multiplayer how awesome would it be if they added some mp to a remaster? Just adding online free roam to the game would be all kinds of awesome.

 

[GeoramA]

Rockstar likes money afterall!

Glad I still have a PS3. Hope they remaster all the PS2-era GTAs.

 

[TheAbsolution]

It's a significant difficulty spike with no explanation of what you're actually supposed to do... "All you had to do was follow the train, CJ." Well, not really. You had to stay in front of the train to the right for 50% of it, and then keep a sizeable distance to the left for the final 2 guys, and you had to hope that Smoke made the logical decision in who to shoot... and he regularly did not.

The PS2 version of this mission and Zero's flight mission were significantly harder than subsequent releases on PC and Xbox, where they made those missions easier. After a hundred tries I beat Zero's RC plane mission on PS2... after painstakingly outlining the best possible path to take and then taking 10 or 20 tries to actually execute on it. And then replaying it on PC, I did it in one try; same with Xbox Original/360.

Launch the Red Baron!

Yeah, that Zero mission was a killer on the PS2.

Yeah, I'll give you the Zero RC missions for difficulty. The van one on PS2 essentially had the fuel running all the time versus the PC release which had it running only when you were pressing the gas. Made it much easier.
But at least that entire mission string was completely skippable.

But then how could you earn $4000/week from Zero's toy shop???!

Assuming of course you hadn't already made billions of dollars on the horse betting in downtown Los Santos[/b]

 

[SillyJoe]

I just got a program named FPS Limit Adjuster and that actually seems to do the trick. Damn, San Andreas feels sooo good at 60fps.

I have to admit, I feel pretty silly not knowing something like this existed after 50+ hours on record, haha

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Modern GTA controls or bust. Can't go back to that shitty aiming or drive mechanics.

 

[Memorabilia]

The Burning Question everyone wants the answer to: Will the Hot Coffee mod still work?

If not, no sale.

That has probably been removed before the game even got it's first digital release.

The shooting may be shitty but the driving is fine.

Psst...I was joking.
