There's far more to GTA's heritage than the same three games every time.
It's a huge disappointment that in 2021 still the only legal way to play VCS is via PSP, PS2 disc or PSV / PS3 backwards compatibility.
Despite re released of the mainline games GTA 3 vc Sa on android and iOS even LCS got an iOS port we can't play VCS anywhere on a modern system.
Bioware is a shell of its former self. Blizzard is imploding. Rockstar turned into one of the biggest shill companies in gaming and barely ever release games.
This is why I'm tuning more and more to indies and AA studios almost entirely when it comes to what I'm playing.
Speaking of, I've been pretty hooked on a little known Roguelike action platformer called Fury Unleased. Games addicting, and can typically be had for dirt cheap, apparently. Also has online co-ol It even has a workshop where people contributed a lot of awesome/hilarious faces you can use for your character.
Seeing as new titles are taking 5 years+ to push out at this stage...to be honest, R*'s games are so good I'd happily see most of their catalogue get remasters. This could be a nice gauge to prove to them that we still want a new Midnight Club, Bully etc.
Also, I would love to play GTA IV again. I f always adored it but I find that people appreciate it a lot more nowadays.

I got one at launch and still have it.
Great system and super portable.
Not so comfortable for big hands playing for long sessions though.
Have good memories of Peace Walker on the Go, pun intended.
I believe there is some prototype of a hand held console with dedicated GPU that can run modern AAA games too.
PSP has such great games, it's such a shame Vita didn't do as well, I still use mine I bought in 2014. I still would love an upgraded handheld if just for ports, though.
I've enjoyed my PSP a lot, too bad they're not making handhelds anymore.
That time when Skype was available on PSP was awesome.

it's more prevalent now, so I don't think it's the same thing. I've been all digital since 2014, so if the next gen of consoles has a discless SKU as well as one for physical media, I would likely get the discless one.
Sony at least had the decency to put in 16GB storage in the PSP Go which was more space than what other models with disc drives had out of the box to compensate for the lack of physical media.
Microsoft didn’t even bother putting in a 4TB HDD into this thing to make it more enticing over a standard model. This whole things reeks of halfassed decisions just to see how the market reacts to an all digital device.
Its far more relevant now and could EASILY be a popular choice...
but just not at that price
It might have been Vice City Stories PSP version considering the filesize. If its the PS2 version, the filesize must be bigger than 800MB.
It is possible that Sony is trying to update the store to add PS2 classics in preparation for the release of PSP2 and the return of BC on the PS3.
Please, please make this happen, every last ps2 game upscaled, right down to the most obscure crap game, with every game having screenshots and videos, i wouldn't mind paying £40 each for the Ratchet and Clank PS2 games
This idea = full of win! I always imagined, pre psp release, that when a portable playstation released, I'd be able to play all my ps2 games on it. Now it seems this may just become a reality :) Hope it isn't just for psp go or worse yet, just psp 2
As far as I'm aware, It's just a corrupt duplicate of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
How I know? 'cause I've just searched for it on my own PSP & when you highlight both "GTA: Vice City Stories" & "GTA: Vice City" .. they've both got the exact same description.
I expect it to disappear once the store updates or when Sony notices it & takes action.
I must admit though, It's still very odd that it's been put there in the first place.. GTA Vice City Stories came out ages ago.. so why upload it again?
enkeixpress, how do you report a news article and then 2 minutes later approve it without cancelling your report? Makes no sense. On topic. I hope this is true. Would love to play Burnout 3 on the go
