Grand Theft Auto trilogy set for a re-release on Mac. PS3 and 360 too, please Rockstar?

Remember a little series of games known as the Grand Theft Auto trilogy? That rather beautiful set of discs released last generation for the Xbox, PS2 and PC? Remember how it provided us with the delights of GTAs III, Vice City and San Andreas? Well now it's getting a re-release. On Mac. Cue jubilant air-punches of delayed vindication for Apple fans, but sad faces for 360 and PS3 owners.

The 3 best GTAs with Trophies in HD would be amazing.

[Nitrowolf2]

i would buy that in a pinch

[SilentNegotiator]

I'd buy it in a Walmart.

Ba-dum-TISH.

[Red_Orange_Juice]

how much would you pay for that?

[SilentNegotiator]

Hopefully it would be $40 and further embed the trend.

[Gago]

now getting games console/pc owners already played 9 years ago

[SilentNegotiator]

Stealth Disagreer? You mean stealth troller...

[fooltheman]

apple isn't know for being a gaming machine...

though blizzard always made a market for it's games...

[DaTruth]

They should make this for PS3 with all cities accessible at anytime by plane. Whichever story you're playing would remain the same, but at any time you can jump a plane and fly from SA to VC.

And if possible, throw in some new missions that require going to other cities, like that one mission in San Andreas where you go back to Liberty City and shoot up the Mafia.(probably impossible due to actors and licensing, but maybe they could add in new content and actors into the old stories, given the mission structure of GTA games being what it is)

Edit: Said PS3 because there's really no chance of this fitting on a DVD and switching disks would render it pointless.

[TheLastGuardian]

That would be cool but I think they should do a whole new game with all 3 cities in one.

[DaTruth]

That would also be amazing! But more amazing would be both our ideas on one disk. All the old stories, including the PSP ones and one massive story with all cities taking place over 25-30 years, from VC in the 80's to SA in the 90's to LC in the new millenium!(Cameo appearances would be insane)

[TheLastGuardian]

Actually more than 3 cities in one, I'd rather see Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Stories(hints my avatar). It can be set in the 60's and have The Truth as the protagonist with pot smoking and selling mini games. They can't fit San Andreas on the PSP but I hope it comes out on the psp2.

[DaTruth]

They could have almost unlimited size for SA:stories if it were a digital download. I don't know the limit on UMD storage, but DD can exceed that(don't know if that's practical though).

[gtamike]

Lets hope R* looked back at these old more fun GTA's and not make after crap less fun GTA like GTA4 was.
Next GTA is a rent you let me down rockstar (coming from die hard fun)

Want the old GTAs in HD? Get PC versions and pluggin in PS3 controller and install controller drivers. done

[siyrobbo]

same here, only id want achievements not trophies

[C L O U D]

That would be amazing!

Ahh when GTA III first came out...listening to the opening theme.

Great times.

[Zydake]

ViceCity and GTA 3 WOOOOOOOOO

[TheLastGuardian]

GTA: San Andreas is the best.....game ever!

[Zydake]

.meh didnt like that one lol

[Eiffel]

Meh at Vice City, San Andreas all the way.

[Stealth20k]

Why dont they make a new gta game instead of sitting on there asses

[mrcash]

what are you talking about? rockstar is always busy, they just released rdr, next is agent and la noire and whatever else they are working on.

[Zydake]

Max Payne 3

[Stealth20k]

La noire isnt being made by rockstar and agent is in development hell.

Rockstar north and all there gta teams are sitting on there asses

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

what do you think.

[SephireX]

Yes. They're sitting on their arses making games. They don't make them while running around.

[siyrobbo]

nobody knows anything about agent yet, they just have not revealed anything yet. I remember a few months ago, red dead redemption was coming out in a couple of months and nobody had seen anything about it, everyone was expecting it to be a mess of a game, look how that turned out.

Rockstar know what they are doing, even when it seems like they dont

[ChronoJoe]

Got to be honest.

I'd rather have the entirety of last gen in HD, to this gen... at all... games cost too much to produce now, which makes them in the end, better visually, but shorter, less fun and more expensive.

[Stealth20k]

Not true

[ChronoJoe]

Why'd you think that way? it's fine to do so, but why just post 'not true' surely a disagree would have sufficed.

[SephireX]

Wait a minute. Are you saying that FF7 is better than FFXIII? Oh wait...

[Shaymin]

Please Rockstar release those games in HD and with trophies

Then I would be the happiest man in the world

[DigitalRaptor]

That's the only way I would have them on PS3.

I already own them all on PS2, so having the exact same games digitally would be useless. They would need to have trophies and be remastered in HD.

[likedamaster]

Seems like someone's addicted to trophies.

It's not a bad thing. Just don't knock 360 gamers that do it for achievements.

Happy gaming, hopefully we'll get these gems to add to our achievement/trophy... err, game collection.

[marioPSUC]

Even if they re-released them without trophies/achievements I would buy it in a heartbeat, day 1 purchase

[TheLastGuardian]

Does the mac even have acheivments?

[ChronoJoe]

He means if they were on PS3.

No, mac doesn't have achievements... I don't if they're launching via a sub platform though (ie steam) in which case it could have achievements.

[jkuli6]

Please re-release all 3 for PS3!!! Trophies or no, it would be amazing!!

[Nada Nuff]

Why? I mean, why now? Was someone actually requesting this?

[Stealth20k]

All they said is they would release all 3 games on the mac....not upgraded in anyway.

And I would love them to make a second console gta.....they made 5 last gen

[tiamat5]

Awesome! now i can play the ones I missed

[earbus]

Been there done that remakes are a waste of time .

[UltimateSin]

Only a matter of time.

[Darkfiber]

Meh, they are all outdated crap now. The only way HD remakes work are with "timeless" games, like ICO games. God of War trilogy worked because they were late in the PS2 lifecycle. A lot of games just don't hold up today. Besides, these games are all way too similar. Everyone would get burnt out on them before they get through the first one. But money is money, and people will buy them even if they just end up collecting dust.

[PoorMansGT]

you realize ico came out in 2001 so your own point is moot. also you are wrong,i don't believe in outdated. i can play great games from ps1 and still enjoy the hell out of ,certainly more than the easy unoriginal crap we get mostly today.

[Syaz1]

i never got to play gta lcs and vcs since i didn't have a psp or ps2 back then. gta 3, vc, sa, lcs and vcs box compilation for current-gen console pls!
