Gonna grab Vice City once the PSN Web store decides to start working. I played San Andreas way more but I'm worried it might trigger some emotions I really don't want to ever feel again.

Spoiler

"Follow the damn train CJ!"

 

[chrislowe]

I'm still getting them. Music license expirations suck. In my head Vice City looks glorious.

They should have created spotify-playlists with the music and made you able to use spotify in game as musicplayer.
Problem solved

 

[AzaK]

They really need to show on the store that these are PS2 games.

Don't remind me!

 

[Jinroh]

The hud is stretched?! They couldn't even keep its aspect ratio?

 

[Timu]

Sure can

I disabled the trails filter in VC and GTA3

This is from the game's own built in widescreen right from the options right?

 

[Any Questions]

San Andreas was perfect. Might pick these up

 

[Omegabalmung9]

Yup

 

[dreamfall]

Damn, they removed that Lionel Richie track?! Gah, I loved that one.

Will probably pick these up to just revel in nostalgic bliss. Vice City will always be my favorite ever.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

The whole trilogy for £32!? Nope. Sorry, its 2015.

 

[Fuzzy]

Read the descriptions.

 

[POWERSPHERE]

Would love these to be remasters.

 

[Nestunt]

The title of the OT is one of the best in Gaf history

 

[L.O.R.D]

this is misleading

those are mobile port , not PS2 port ( the GTA games )

That was removed in the 2nd versions that were pressed in 2003 ish. Smuggler's blues as well.

 

[Mastah]

What is misleading? All released GTA games are PS2 ports, lighting gives it away. It's exactly the same as it was on PS2 minus few songs.

are you sure ? this are nor the android or steam version ?

As long as my boi Fernando Martinez is there with Emotion FM then it's an instant buy.

Do cheats disable trophies?

Who is going to redo the aspect ratio to fit a higher resolution?

They are the PS2 versions.

 

[gafneo]

This is definetly a drawback to owning digital rather than hardcopy. Heard steam version even auto updated and removed songs.

The ios version, and original Xbox I believe, had a custom station in gane. Wish they could have added it here.

 

[Leyasu]

Tempted by the fruit of another is still present. The VC soundtrack has retained its structural integrity.

Squeeze... What a fucking tune

 

[Kingsora]

Not in Europe?

 

[The perfect Dark]

Sure can

I disabled the trails filter in VC and GTA3

My god, they did not age well. 14,99 lmao.

 

[tanooki27]

they look ok for ps2 games. what did you expect?

Nope.

Do cheats disable trophies?

Apparently not (They don't for FF 7)

 

[Foffy]

Android versions changed up the huds, allowed there to be a controller camera while driving the car ala SA, altered the visuals to give the characters more detailed models, and significantly changed the HUD to SA.

These are the PS2 ports with all of the removed tracks from the Steam and Android versions. You might as well have purchased the PC versions, went with some mods to add removed PS2 elements, and called it a day.

It would be cheaper to do so.

 

[Jack The Nipper]

This is why I always wish Sony would consider better ports of games like pc versions when a ps2 game has it


Deus ex
Half life.

Wouldn't want ps2. Maybe a novelty factor to have it.

 

[andshrew]

Do cheats disable trophies?

They don't in GTA 3.

 

[Storm360]

Apparently not (They don't for FF 7)

FF7 is a proper port, not emulated

Trophies disabled with cheats in GTA SA, other games not apparently

Ah, well no idea then.

I don't want to risk it.

The only way that's going to happen is if the developers want to port those over.

Why not just simply play them on PC, instead? They're right there.

 

[Lashley]

How do I remove trails?

 

[Darrenf]

Are the EU versions 50Hz? I want to get SA, but if it is I'll get it on my US account.

 

[Goldrusher]

How do I remove trails?

Click the right side of the touchpad and go to "display".

 

[thenameDS]

Played the first two mission of Vice City last night before bed, yes it looks like a PS2 game but my god I love this game. Can't wait to complete it and move onto San Andreas.

Only negative for me is the controls. But I'll just have to adjust and get use to them. Also may try some cheats on a separate save to see if it disables trophies.

 

[Spizz]

Supposedly cheats don't disable trophies in Vice City.

Love that OT title lol, good stuff. I'm really tempted to buy Vice City but I'm a dollar short on the store. It's a sign...

 

[illmatic22]

Do cheats disable trophies?

I only have San Andreas but yeah cheats disable trophies.

 

[Lashley]

Click the right side of the touchpad and go to "display".

No option for me on San Andreas

 

[Garlador]

If Sony had just allowed ps2 backwards compatibility then this wouldn't be a problem at all and they wouldn't have to worry about the soundtrack.

... And those prices aren't good. Walmart sells all three games bundled together for $16.99 or so and still has them in stock.

 

[luchadork]

$23aud ($17usd) for gta3 is absurd. theres no way i'm paying $69 for all three.

 

[Dobsie]

Just dug out my ps2 and fired up San Andreas, so much nostalgia, this games brilliant. I'm not sure I can be bothered to buy it on ps4 though, £12 is steep for such an old game, plus I've still got my memory card save on ps2, last modified Feb 2006! Me and my mates had so much fun with the 2 player part on this game, spending countless hours messing around, online just isn't the same.
But anyway can anyone confirm if the 2 player part is still in? And is the 1080p upscale really worth it? The map on ps2 is pretty much unreadable now to my HD spoilt eyes.

 

[Fox Mulder]

they look ok for ps2 games. what did you expect?

At this point, why not put up the best versions? The ps2 versions weren't even as good as the original Xbox, and they've had remasters on ios for awhile now.

 

[dedhead54]

Just fired up Vice City. We'll see if I actually play through it. If I do I'll buy the others. I am not thrilled about the price but I also am willing to pay to play 3 of my favorite games of all time on my PS4.

 

[Lashley]

Can you disable trails on SA?

They will be on sale in a couple of months for half price most likely. Like, I get you want to play your favourite games again but at that price its worth waiting isn't it?

If people want them and can afford them, why wouldn't they buy them now?
