Hopefully they aren't just PC ports, but rather remastered. Otherwise the pc versions would still be a better buy.

ESRB Rates Grand Theft Auto III & Vice City For PlayStation 3
- Thread starter onQ123
- Start date
Sony publishes all of the PS2 releases on PSN, so they're assured to be just ISO dumps with whatever kinks worked out from when the emulation was split between software and hardware.

I replayed GTAIII a couple years ago, I think it holds up and is still my favorite GTA to date. I mean yeah sure the controls are clunky now but the music, the characters and the city have yet to be beaten. Plus in that game unlike GTAIV you actually can do missions the way you want, not the way Rockstar scripted out (case in point, using vehicles to block roads before missions etc.)
Finally, silent protagonist > all others.

basically no interest in playing straight ps2 ports of these honestly.

my posts are "MEH"
Excuse me for being vague. I wish GTA5 was set in Vice City. Modern or 80s, I just want to see an HD vice city.

But isn't Los Santos basically a whole new location? I wouldn't consider Liberty City from GTA III the same as Liberty City from GTA IV.

Why make a whole new city in a whole new area when you can just keep iterating on the same ones for 10+ years? It's the Rockstar way. In 2020 we'll get a new Vice City in GTA VI I'm sure.
True but Liberty City is still loosely based of NYC in both cases.

Good for you. Please call Obama and ask him to issue an emergency statement that you are not buying it.
Thank fucking you!
Basically. I don't think it'll bear much, if any, resemblance to PS2-era San Andreas.
lol wut
Anyways, will buy. I'd prefer a hd ps3/vita version, but I'd still bite even if it was just ps2 classics. Don't have a BC ps3 anymore.

No GTA V this year? Fine! Gimme the GTA HD Collection with III, VC and SA (and revamp the targeting system, R*).

Are you kidding me? Do you really think the Los Santos in 5 will look ANYTHING like the Los Santos in SA?

Vice City is best fuckers. No long ass meaningless countryside, stupid ass meter management, stupid ass gang alert grid alarm, stupid ass mini helicopter tank controls missions, or Superman 64 ring tutorials to swim or fly. Fuck that noise.

It'll probably look something like it yes.

yeah, these are just PS2 Classic releases. There would have been alot more hype building up to HD Re-releases.
You know of all the games to not get the HD Remaster treatment, the PS2/Xbox/PC GTA games are the ones that makes the least amount of sense. I mean the GTA games were the best selling games of the PS2 and sold excellently on Xbox. When people think of a classic PS2 game, nine times out of ten, one of its three GTA games is going to come up. Who here wouldn't have bought GTA The Trilogy HD with GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas? Hell, throw in ports of the PC versions of GTA1 & GTA2 as extras and really make it live up to that name.
I own the PC versions of all of the GTA games I mentioned on Steam, so I'm not affected, but I still don't think this makes sense.
