As Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Prepares For Its 15th Anniversary, We Notice Just How Small It Was

From GameWatcher: "October 27, also known as the release of two high-profile video games this year, marks the 15th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. In retrospect, it really wasn't as big as we remember."

2nd best GTA game after san andreas.

GamesMaster19822379d ago

Best GTA for me and the best soundtrack also. Sick of all the rap and hiphop crap in the latest games.

mafiahajeri2379d ago (Edited 2379d ago )

Oh yeah it had the best soundtrack, but GTA always had variety in music so if you dont like the music change the station.

This song was the best

The cast was mental Ray liotta as Tommy Vercetti was genius, luis guzman as diaz was epic too

GamesMaster19822378d ago (Edited 2378d ago )

I know they all have a variety in music . But V pretty much had all rap, rnb and hiphop and I just don't like them types of music at all. And yes Tommy Vercetti will always be my fave GTA character.

MadMax2379d ago

Same here! Definately an awesome soundtrack, some of the best bands came outta the 80s!

2pacalypsenow2378d ago

Vice City had Hip Hop, just like Every GTA game since 3.

GTA 5 has a massive library of music and not just Rap

GamesMaster19822378d ago (Edited 2378d ago )

Yes all garbage music for the gangster wanabee youth these days.

arkard2378d ago

GTA 5 library of music may have been massive, but I couldn't find a single good rock/metal station. They focused on rap/hip hop and everything else was an afterthought.

2pacalypsenow2378d ago (Edited 2378d ago )

If Rap was such garbage, it wouldn't be so popular in GTA games.

Maybe it's just you that doesn't like the genre, I will agree that current Rap is trash, but there are some gems there and 90's-2000's was great.

Profchaos2378d ago

I'll agree the selection wasn't as good as San Andreas was radio X was an awesome station but there's some solid tracks on vbr like fidlar cocaine

The map in the article isn't really to scale and it's not completely comparable I'd equate vice city's size to half of Los Santos City in v not counting outside Of the City ofcourse

Also still ties in for best GTA soundtrack and story along with San Andreas

InTheZoneAC2378d ago (Edited 2378d ago )

Vice city has a small map, no where close to half of V's map

BrettAwesome2378d ago

Well, he didn't really say that, did he?

Profchaos2378d ago (Edited 2378d ago )

I'm not saying half of v's map I'm saying take purely the city of LS in v forget about everything else in the game ignore everything North of the vinewood hills and West of the pier and it's most likely about just under half the size. The map in the article will try and tell you the comparable size is equivalent to the docks that's just not right

A Look Back at 'Grand Theft Auto: Vice City' Which Turns 20

Revisiting Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was released on October 29, 2002, only a year after Grand Theft Auto: III. As hard as it is to imagine in an era that sees a decade go between releases, GTA games used to drop annually.

Where it all kicked off, huh? Vice City is a video game treasure.

ThatArtGuy546d ago

It's my favorite GTA for setting and overall feel.

chicken_in_the_corn546d ago

It's my favourite for story and characters

Demetrius546d ago

A timeless classic that feels fresh even when u play it today

jznrpg546d ago (Edited 546d ago )

Morrowind did a great job of open world in 2002 also but unfortunately Elder Scrolls has been diluted since then and hasn’t really progressed at all besides in the graphics department. Sad really .

shinoff2183545d ago

Pretty sure that was GTA 3, and then it took san andreas to perfect it. San andreas is still one of my favorite games.

Wait, no new PS1, PS2 or PSP additions?

CrimsonWing69564d ago

It’s frustrating how they barely update that library. I get that Jimbo hates old games, but c’mon, the classic catalogue with trophies was a big draw for me. Was really hoping to get some heavy duty classic PS1 games to platinum. Looks like they’ll do exactly what they did on PS4 with the PS2 library…

LucasRuinedChildhood564d ago (Edited 564d ago )

Games like Resistance: Retribution have already been rated as well so they have some stuff ready.

I think they still don't have a healthy supply of classic games for the next few months and they have to really spread them out ... so because of all those Yakuza remasters on Premium this month ... they made the decision to hold off putting up more PSP or PS1 games until next month. :(

They need clearer communication on this. They could have said that we can look forward to some PSP games next month or something.

FinalFantasyFanatic563d ago

I'm so glad I stuck with the essential tier, I'd be ticked paying more with the expectation that the classic catalogue would be regularly updated and built up. The classic catalogue was the biggest draw of the upper tiers for me, so not seeing any new PS1 games is pretty disappointing.

Ben Dover564d ago

While the VC remake is a turd, this is an impressive month.

SlothLordPootus564d ago

Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.

jeromeface564d ago

fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no

cluclap564d ago

It wasn't a mobile port though? The team that made them did the mobile games but if I remember the actual remakes aren't the mobile versions.

andy85564d ago

Playing it at the moment. It actually looks pretty clean. I'm on PS5 though, can't comment for other versions. I guess the updates helped a bit

VersusDMC564d ago

If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.

Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.

EvertonFC564d ago

"inside" indie game looks interesting for sure too

SlothLordPootus564d ago

Inside is great. If youve played limbo it's very similar

dazzysima564d ago

Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.

Have they even added any new trials since launch?

rob-GP564d ago

Yes, loads - they just stupidly havn't updated the list on the console!

I can't recall of the top of my head but there's been a bunch of games, probably about 10 or so. I'm gonna drop Shu another email and try and get him to tell the UX team to update the list. It's annoying when they don't update things

VersusDMC564d ago

I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.

MrNinosan564d ago

Running out of steam? This month is amazing, and the months before it has been great aswell.
At least 3 of the Dragon Quest games are great, Medium is okay, Assassins Creed is nice gems for those who missed put, Inside amazing, Castlevania superb, the Yakuza remakes are fantastic.

Lots of Trials has been added simce launch.
If you don't use the service or are interested enough to first check what's there, why comment?
