Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Hits PSN

psn vice city Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Hits PSNAs promised, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has arrived over at the PlayStation Store as a download, where it will cost you $9.99 which will fall under the PS2 Classics collection. I am quite sure that those who will download it, the majority of them would have completed the game in the past on their PS2, and would want to take a romp down memory lane. In fact, the folks over at Sony were nice enough to create a map which originally packed in the game box available as a high resolution JPEG file for you to print out, simply because this is a digital format of the game. I am quite sure that after printing out this map, you would find it handy should you get lost in Little Havana.

Apart from that, those who are perfectionists might want to check out maps for GTA3 and San Andreas, as both of them can be downloaded from the PS Store to boot. This is truly an experience for you to rediscover your love for the franchise ten years back, and it will prove to the masses whether this game is able to stand the test of time or not.

Rockstar apologizes for GTA: Vice City Android hiccup, hopes to get it out by the end of next week

We’re sure that many Android gamers were looking forward to downloading Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City onto their devices, and while iOS users are probably having a blast with the game, it looks like Android users might have to wait until the next weekend. The game was originally scheduled for a release on the 6th of December for both iOS and Android, but it seems that due to validating errors with the APK, the game was removed from the Google Play store after having been downloaded by a few hundred users. The Google Play page for Vice City now leads to a “Not found” page. Rockstar has since issued an apology, “Hey guys, due to unforeseen technical issues, the Android release of Vice City will be slightly delayed. Our goal is to get this out for Android by the end of next week. Our apologies for the delay to all our fans on Android devices and please stay tuned for updates.”

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for iOS and Android trailer debuts

Come 6th of December, gamers who have enjoyed Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will be pleased to know that the game will be debuting on both iOS and Android, but until then the folks at Rockstar have released a new trailer video of the upcoming game that will give players some clues as to what they might be able to expect. With the game having been released a good decade ago, there will be some improvements to the graphics, along with some slight changes to the gameplay to make up for the fact that the controls will be touchscreen based. It’s probably not the best looking game we’ve seen on mobile so far, but GTA has mostly been about the gameplay and we guess with Vice City sitting at 10 years old, its graphics can certainly be forgiven (might even be nostalgic for some gamers). In case you missed our previous report, the game will be priced at $4.99 for both iOS and Android.

Well the good news is that in celebration of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’s 10th Anniversary (29th October), Rockstar has announced that they will be re-releasing the game for mobile platforms (iOS and Android) this Fall. According to the announcement:

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was originally released in October 2002 for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, just one year after its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto III, changed the gaming landscape forever with its combination of open-world freedom, humor and action in a living, breathing city. Vice City expanded upon the open world gameplay of Grand Theft Auto III, combined with nostalgia for the 1980s to create one of the true high points in the marriage of video games and mainstream pop culture, loved by hardcore gamers and casual players alike. The upcoming mobile version of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City brings the full experience to mobile devices, featuring native high-resolution graphics and several enhancements unique to the iOS and Android platforms.
