GTA Vice City

Allright, cool. Had heard that the whole thing was just PS2. Relief, even though I probably won't pursue a bootlegged PC copy for a year. Hell, I've got a couple games queued after this one to play, including my first complete stab at madden.

 

:mercy: :mercy: :mercy:

It might be a while for me. I hope they have a damn heavy metal station on the radio this time. Vice City's VROCK was a step in the right direction, but I'd like to see some musical affirmative action brought to the modern day as well.

 

Maybe.
but that just seems to be a personal preference, where the game's built more toward the theme. Maybe for San Andreas they'll do a bit more punk.

 

I guess a lot of it depends on what time period it's set in. Vice City obviously had the Miami Vice thing going on, the cut-scenes with music in the background reminded me so much of that show I've been looking for DVD box sets.

 

If I was president of Rockstar, I'd do one called Lone Star City. Have the city be a cross between Dallas and San Antonio with a dash of Houston. The storylines could include a corrupt-professional-sports thing, a fat-cat-J.R. Ewing-meets-Boss-Hogg crimelord thing, a Mexican gang thing, a redneck-militia thing, a Southern Televangelist thing, or any number of Texas-inspired action scenarios. There'd be a mandatory country station... two or three for this game actually... as well as Tejano, gangster rap, Dallas-style heavy metal, and two or three redneck-ass talk radio stations.

In any case, the new GTA is sure to deliver the goods. I for one can't wait.

 

that's not bad you should submit it to Rockstar

 

If they ever had the technology to do it justice, a Vice City NYC would be badass. The subways, the boroughs, the Park, it'd be something fierce to put together the way they put together Miami (friend of mine who plays the game recently went there on business and says it's damned funny that it's laid out so close). The only regret to the Miami theme is that they didn't make an attempt to get into the keys, but I can't see much relevance and it would have to be a seaplane trip at best.

BTW, the Texas theme is pretty tight.

 

I think the first GTA III game is supposed to be sorta like NYC. It's Liberty City, but they play with the names like that a little. San Andreas is obviously L.A. and Vice City is Miami. I like the Texas idea also, I hope they continue with the city themes. I recently played True Crime: Streets of L.A. and the street layout was perfect, but the width of streets and landmarks was a little off. I'd like to see a little more accuracy, but the original content, like that of the GTA series actually makes it a little better. True Crime was more accurate, but less fun.

 

True Crime was different, not bad, but I ended up selling it back for cash before my big move. GTA's got the lock on the genre, in my opinion. The mix of action with the spoofy humor has earned them brand loyalty from me.

 

Ahh. Yeah, never played it. So now I'm interested, but don't want to take a step backfrom a good game to play an average one by today's standards.
