Vice City Now Available on PSN

Posted on January 30 2013, 10:17am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Games

Today, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has officially joined the other two iconic chapters of the Grand Theft Auto trilogy in the PlayStation Store.

Available as part of the PS2 Classics collection ($9.99 / €9.99 / £7.99), Vice City is the story of Tommy Vercetti’s rise to the top of the criminal underworld that pushed the open world game series deeper into popular culture with its vibrant over-the-top take on Miami, stunning celebrity voice cast and loving, satirical look at the cultural excesses of the ‘80s.
 
Stay tuned for future announcements on additional Rockstar titles being added to the PS2 Classics collection very soon.

    If i buy this on my PS3, is this the HD version?
    (Like added fingers etc.)

      @vlasic7 This is the original version of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. It's displayed in 4:3, so if you're playing on a widescreen high definition television you'll see black bars on the left and right. Let us know if you have any other questions.

      Hey R* I have a question: Is there any chance that Vice City will be available on PSN also in Germany?
      • R* Y3 weeks, 1 day agoReply
        @10penny91 Yes, we are working on it but but we don’t have a firm date as of now. Should have more details in the future.
    • I can't add vice city to my psn cart would you be able to fix this problem

      Rockstar my only question is why don't you port the iOS versions of GTA3 and Vice City onto the PS Vita? It's perfect for the controls. Touch screen controls just don't work and get annoying. You can keep some features like the map icon like in Vice City so when you touch it on the Vita it'll bring up the map quicker. Please consider my suggestion. There can be more profit from Vita owners like myself.

        @MANDO31694 ure not the only one. i asked this myself very often... dont understand why. for konami its possible to port mgs 2 and mgs3 for psvita, but why r* cant port it? pls r* port it for the vita.
      • R* Yon April 16 2013, 12:51pmReply
        @MANDO31694 Thanks for suggesting, but we're busy developing GTAV and haven't announced plans to bring games to the Vita.

      This is awesome! i can't wait to buy it!
      Also, how do i report a bug? because when it says to wait two minutes, it says please wait two minute between each post

      Sure, it isn't that important, but, it's just something i noticed.
      P.S. sorry for being off topic.

                @scareface1970 Yeah, be careful around the water! Glad you're enjoying the game.

              Hi I joined to ask what happened to the Warriors , it's was in the European PSN store and I planned on buying it ,waited so long for it to release on PSN , now its just disappeared,so disappointed in Rockstar who I have been supporting from my gta 3 days.
              • WolfRogerson March 24 2013, 12:14amReply
                @Batman717 Yeah I just checked (UK PSN) and The Warriors (PS2 Classic) has been removed from the store! What went wrong Rockstar?
              • Batman717on March 24 2013, 5:31amReply
                @WolfRogers I don't know why people hardly know about this , it's been kept very quiet it was there for like 1 day so not many people know about it. I was going to surprise my brother with it as we grew up with that game, I'm guessing some legal issue.
              • R* Yon March 24 2013, 11:47amReply
                @Batman717 Yes, due to a publishing error by Sony Europe a version of The Warriors was uploaded erroneously on the PlayStation Store. While we have yet to announce plans to release The Warriors on PSN, we should have news on all of our upcoming PS2 Classics releases soon.

              @ R* hey guys can You tell us are there going to be anniversary posters for Vice City just like there was for GTA III?
              • WolfRogerson March 24 2013, 12:18amReply
                @ChengizVlad09 I doubt Rockstar will be doing anything else VC related anymore, they've gone quiet and even been ignoring any e-mails. :(
              • R* Yon March 24 2013, 11:34amReply
                @ChengizVlad09 No anniversary posters, but there is this from the original 2002 release:

                @R* Y Aghh I have already visualized Vice City posters in same fashion like ones for GTA III anniversary.. something that powerful and expressive, only with slightly changed colors, maybe instead of golden something like light blue and pink for the details, Vice City style :-D. Not to mention characters on them, Tommy, Sonny, Lance, Diaz, Rosenberg, Mercedes and the list goes on.. Anyways download section is full of great stuff..but now, if You allow me I would use this opportunity just to criticize Rockstar's Warehouse prices for shipping just a little bit.. :-D I mean there are things "to die for", especially posters on which I'm very weak :-D but worldwide shipping prices goes multiple times more than product itself and it's a real deal kill :-D. I must say I'm a proud owner of every GTA, except 1, 2 London '69/'61 physical releases and Advance & Chinatown wars, physical also, and that's going to change soon for the sake of collection :-D. Analogously I have every single awesome, piece of art GTA poster. :-D Thank You Rockstar for GTA!

              I want something from GTA 10th anniversary on Vita. GTA Stories was the reason why I bought PSP.
              • WolfRogerson March 24 2013, 12:56amReply
                @15302040 I doubt it, Rockstar have shown no interest at all in the VITA ever since they decided to focus on Cell Phone Gaming instead. The best we can hope for is that Sony pull their finger out and allow PS2 games to be played on the VITA, that way we'd get a good chunk of Rockstar Games on the go to, including San Andreas and Midnight Club!

              @R* A Are there any plans to make Manhunt and Manhunt 2 available on PSN for PS3, besides psp version.
              • R* Aon March 21 2013, 10:59amReply
                @rockchalk917 We haven't announced which titles are still to come to the PS2 Classics collection on PSN, please stay tuned
              • WolfRogerson March 21 2013, 12:22pmReply
                @R* A At this point in time I think only the Manhunt games are the only ones left!* At least here in the EU! Midnight Club 1, The Warriors, etc were added over the course of the last few weeks. You guys haven't mentioned it so either Sony is adding them without letting you know or you're being quiet on purpose.

                *Oh and Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories, but they already have ESRB ratings for a PSN release!
            • WolfRogerson March 20 2013, 1:56pmReply
              For those who are interested, The Warriors is now available on the EU PSN Store along with the Original Midnight Club, it's strange how Rockstar haven't mentioned this.
