Since this is never coming on Vita, I may just invest in a shield for games like this. I'd love me some portable gta besides the psp ones.

 

[shinobi602]

Well, it doesn't speak well to portable gaming as a whole when a 10 year old port on mobile is the most interesting thing happening across all handhelds.

Most interesting according to whom?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Whoa... this thread

I imagine that more popular titles from consoles will be getting mobile versions.

 

[friskykillface]

great news

i bought GTA III for my ipad and GTA vice city for my nexus and both had solid touch controls, just the sniping is a hassle for me, damn you 8 ball mission on that boat, infinite fails

plus i never beat GTA SA so this is good news since i want to play it again

 

[spindashing]

God damn, the mods are quick with the port begging bans. :lol

This is cool, I'm not big on mobile gaming aside from the Sonic games available for android but it must look decent.

 

[ComputerMKII]

I wish the PC version was compatible with the Xbox 360 controller or Dualshock 3.

 

[TheMan]

damn, mods are being really harsh lately.

i'm glad this is finally coming out. hopefully they'll work some magic with the control scheme.

 

[TheSeks]

Now a whole new generator can rage at the RC missions! I can't imagine how many will pass that if they use touch-screen controls over a controller. Oh god!

 

[BlazinAm]

NICE!

Except none of the R* mobile games are compatible with my phone and I didn't know until after I bought them. But cool either way.

What phone do you have?

 

[SmokyDave]

I wish the PC version was compatible with the Xbox 360 controller or Dualshock 3.

There's a mod called San Andreas Advanced Controls that does wonders for the game. Only problem is it's a pig to run in Windows 7 if I remember correctly.

 

[Maedhros]

Probably will never play this. Even with controllers being supported.

How are these ports? They play decently?

I really wish for a day when iPhone's have this option, or at least a controller that mimicks the design. I'm jelly of Android for this product alone.

Huh. I wonder how well it'd work with a Nexus 4. I mean, it's ugly, and clunky, but if it works....

 

[Skyzard]

GTA mobile announcement just wiped-out half the vita users on this board

Glad they're working on other things too at least.

Anyone want to bet on there being another 'unexpected problem' and having to delay the android version? Bring on the Rockstar & Apple conspiracy theories.

For those unaware they claimed there was an issue with the Vice City android version on launch day and delayed it, they had uploaded the apk to the app store for a few hours in which I managed to purchase it before pulling it again. With some apk modding I managed to get hold of the additional data files and it played fine. They weren't too happy when I started claiming they had lied on their news feed and they deleted all my comments.
They also filed a complaint against the video I uploaded to prove it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2wo0J58lJ4

nice

Now a whole new generator can rage at the RC missions! I can't imagine how many will pass that if they use touch-screen controls over a controller. Oh god!

Actually wonder how they will map the RC controls that to touchscreens.

 

[AranhaHunter]

Completely expected. Will probably be $9.99 instead of $4.99. I wonder if it'll required Android 4.3+ or if they will stay low with gingerbread.

Also wondering if it'll support Gamecenter/Google Play Achievements.

I didn't know about gameklip, does it fit moto x as well? Great product.

 

[Palette Swap]

Now a whole new generator can rage at the RC missions! I can't imagine how many will pass that if they use touch-screen controls over a controller. Oh god!

I'm totally expecting them to add gyroscopic controls for shit and giggles to make these missions even more awful.

 

[Lonely1]

I will probably buy this for android, even if I don't like GTA that much... :/

 

[Silky]

Neat-o.

Windows Mobile? Does this Means the Windows Store will have a version of GTA:SA for Windows8 PCs?

 

[awesomebro]

I can't wait for 2023 when I'll be playing GTA V on my iPhone 25!

 

[73V3N]

Wasn't there also a rumour about a mobile Bully too?
or did I dream that

 

[Nakazato]

hmmmmm..... that nexus 7 ive been eyeing seems like a good investment now

 

[Bluekaveli]

No PS4 remake? Welp.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Wasn't there also a rumour about a mobile Bully too?

Some are speculating that the new Bully trademark could be a mobile title.

 

[Cheese Sandwich]

Why is port-begging banned? Lack of informative discussion?

 

[PFD]

I feel like the majority of people that buy these GTA games on mobile boot it up for 5 minutes, say "wow" that this huge game fits on their phone now and than never play it again. I can't imagine playing through any of these games through touch only on that tiny screen.

Speak for yourself. I thoroughly enjoyed GTA3 and Vice City on my ipad.

Shinobi's skill in Ban Graveyard +5


Makes sense that San Andreas would be coming since the other two already have... and sold well. Controller support should also help.



I just wish it was on the vi.... WAIT A MINUTE! You can't get me, Shinobi!

 

[TheSeks]

Why is port-begging banned? Lack of informative discussion?

"Thread shitting." Adds nothing to the discussion.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Why is port-begging banned? Lack of informative discussion?

Basically, it's annoying and doesn't really add anything to the discussion at hand.

 

[deejay8595]

Good luck with the Zero RC missions on tablets!!!!

 

[kris.]

What phone do you have?

An HTC One X. The controls don't work at all when I try to play. Had to call Rockstar Support and they basically told me that it's incompatible and I can get a refund if I want to but GTAIII and MP were only $.99 each so I was like eh fuck it.

 

[TheMan]

Why is port-begging banned? Lack of informative discussion?

i would guess so. It's in the TOS so technically you can't blame the mods for enforcing the rule, but i feel like historically port begging has gone largely unpunished.

 

[marrec]

Can't imagine how big this is going to be considering the size of Vice City.

Can't wait to buy this and debate playing it on my phone for months before deleting it having never launched it.

 

[reKon]

I can't wait for the "follow the damn train" mission.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Yessssssss

I've been waiting for this since I got a USB dongle for my Nexus 7. Vice City is fun but San Andreas is godlike.

 

[okayfrog]

Awesome, now if only they could make it controller-supported and add lock-on to the Steam version.

 

[RdN]

Great news! I was expecting it for the 10th anniversary, but the sooner the better!

 

[1st Course]

lol @ all the port begging in the first page.

 

[SmokyDave]

I can't wait for 2023 when I'll be playing GTA V on my iPhone 25!

Oh fuck me, that's going to be incredible. Now I want the next decade to hurry up.

 

[kulapik]

Welcome to Banlandia, first stop, GTA: SA for mobiles thread.

 

[RE_Player]

Speak for yourself. I throughly enjoyed GTA3 and Vice City on my ipad.

iPad and tablet I could understand but on phones I still think it's a little ridiculous.

 

[thequickandthedead]

Any chance of mod support? GTA 3 IOS had it apparently.

 

[Maedhros]

Basically, it's annoying and doesn't really add anything to the discussion at hand.

What about quotes with only a "." next to them? These aren't banned, but everyone does it here.

 

[Sothpaw]

They'll port it to Windows Phone but not Vita. smh

Windows Phone is actually increasing market share believe it or not.

 

[TheMan]

What about quotes with only a "." next to them? These aren't banned, but everyone does it here.

"this gunna be good" and popcorn gifs need to get the boot as well.

 

[Guevara]

GTA III on my iPhone 4 was fun for a minute, but didn't play well enough to really get into.

It's technically impressive but not something I'd stay with. It's like wow, a few years ago this was the hottest home console game ever and now it's in my pocket.

 

[coldfoot]

I wonder how well it will run on the ipad mini, if at all, or will we all need to upgrade to A7 chips. Also, anyone made a controller addon case for the iPad mini yet?

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

First page is a graveyard. :lol

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

The port beg is strong with this one.

 

[Lonely1]

Why wouldn't it run on an iPad mini?

 

[coldfoot]

Why wouldn't it run on an iPad mini?

The non-retina ipad mini is quite weak.
