How can you have Vice City without Billie Jean? That makes no sense!

Aye nice! Great time to give it another whirl, I love that game! Was my favourite GTA until V came out. I really love VC too but never replayed it as much as SA. III I never finished. I got a fair way into it on my iPhone 4S actually (played it during downtime in high school lol) but I lost the save. Good time to give it another whirl myself tbh! But I’ll probably wait for it to come down in price, I’ve already bought these games a few times lol. Will be interested to see how well the new remasters run, I’ll definitely be watching YouTube videos of them. No MJ confirmed. Whaaa???!!! I was going to buy it on Nintendo Switch but I’m a bit meh after reading this thread.

It’ll be interesting to see what songs are still missing or even back. I just read someone say that Lionel Richie’s ‘Running with the Night’ is back in Vice City and that was only on the original PS2 release, apparently.

I have the original Vice City along with my PS2 away in storage. I’ll be digging it out at some point. I do remember Lionel Richie being on there.

I have it on Steam and thankfully it still starts the first car with Billie Jean so I’m still set, but ideally it’d have it for everyone in these new editions. Also just read that for Vice City, someone on Twitter heard Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Bark at the Moon’ during a livestream of the game. That song was removed back in 2012 so that seems back too 🤔

I’ll probably still get it because the idea of having GTA on the go is just too much of a good thing. I spent a lot of this year playing San Andreas because I was travelling back in 2004 when it was released. I completely missed it. It’s brilliant. Maybe slightly better than Vice. But Vice is Vice. It’s such a vibe.😎

It's fascinating how small San Andreas seems now that fog is removed.
Rockstar utilized fog and geography really smartly with their original release. Not only were they forced to reel in the draw distance and use fog in the original games thanks to hardware limitations, but they also designed narrow, windy routes between the cities so that as you drove between them, it felt like it took a while to get to where you had to go. This, of course, in turn made the map feel even bigger.

I've been monitoring reddit and some site since yesterday and by all accounts it seems like they released a mess. Thankfully, VC booted up fine on my PS2 last night. Still getting TDE tho.

Yeah it’s looking to be that way. There have been photos of some civilian NPCs who look hilarious (in a bad way).
But yeah. I might get it later on on a heavy discount… but I’m also in no rush sooooooo.

I'm actually playing Liberty City Stories on the PSP atm. I forgot how much I loved this. There is SO much on the radio that would not fly today 🤣🤣🤣

There is SO much on the radio that would not fly today 🤣🤣🤣 I got Liberty City Stories for my iPad last year but I wasn't really feeling it so I returned it (I'm aware it's designed for short, sharp game sessions but that and the graphics... eh idk wasn't my jam). That's just me though, I'm sure if I had a PSP when it came out I would've loved it. I have the other GTAs on my iPad anyway.
LOL are you talking about the talkback radio stations? I love those! I was literally playing one at work yesterday 😂
This Definitive Trilogy seems to be getting very mixed reviews. I'm sure it has frame rates issues on all things. 17 - 20 year old games, even with a facelift, shouldn't be struggling on PlayStation 5's.
You should probably check out some Switch reviews, it's not too great right now but they're definitely things that could be fixed with some patches. I'm sure if you can get used to it looking a bit rough it should be fine though
