Support NeoGAF

[Bluekaveli]

The first time this game came out I was in my 20's and I lived alone and got high and spent entire weekends devoted to looking for them.

I'm an old man with a family now, I ain't got time for that. Lol. I will smoke a bowl when everyone goes to bed and cruise around to Emotion FM.

Holy shit so this game basically hit you right in the feels then with the nostalgia.

I used to fall asleep every night cruising around just listening to Emotion and is wake up at 3 am parents already asleep and the music would still be blasting.
4 years ago 😢

Funny, I was only 10 when I got this game. 13 years later, I turn back into a kid everytime I play it.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

This is the problem with licensed music. Often, it doesn't apply to all future releases, just the original release.

 

[gwailo]

Songs were removed a while back, for the mobile/PC/360/PS3 releases. Really sucks though as this



Had me hoping it was just a ROM dump with emulation over the top

I cheered up a bit once I remembered I can run Spotify for PS4 over the top and listen to the original playlists on there!

Neither Spotify or the media player works once the game boots up.

 

[Storm Raider]

What's your guys opinion on the Trails option in display? Vice City specifically.

I like it a lot. Really feels like I'm playing on some sort of HD PS2.

 

[RdN]

Losing some tracks sucks, but it's how the industry works, no way around that.

I'll definitely pick this up during a sale...Specially for Vice City.

You gotta be kidding me.

Lol! Sony fucking you guys all the way.

Spoiler

I'll still be buying it though

 

[Zee-Row]

I can't play San Andreas without Killing in the name of. It ruins the experience for me.

 

[Gaogaogao]

Removing songs from the steam games I had already bought is unforgivable.

I'm still mad.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Aaaah Vice City got fucking slaughtered. D:

 

[Jack The Nipper]

Screens? Want to see why these are 15

I guess digital foundry will have an analysis though?

 

[Massive_Edge]

i remember vice city came out and i actually, for a while thought Tommy was actually an older Claude....thinking VC was a direct sequel to 3

i was young

 

[Corrupt]

I'm still pissed off from when Rockstar got their fingers into people's Steam libraries and replaced the originals with smartphone ports that had the music removed, without even giving users a choice.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

ouch a couple of those tracks are pretty defining... and kinda expensive i haven't went onto Canadian PSN yet either scared they'll be $60 CAD together lol

still going to buy at least VC and SA though haha q_q

Canadian prices are the same as the American ones, $14.99 CAD each.

 

[DeathGlobe]

for those complaining about steam there are fan made patches that restore the lost content

You're not the only one buddy

 

[bender]

Tracks removed
VC:
. Michael Jackson -"Billie Jean"
· Michael Jackson -"Wanna Be Startin' Somethin"
· Ozzy Osbourne -"Bark At The Moon"

Ouch. I think it may have been by design but the first song that played on the radio in Vice City was "Billie Jean". Will not be the same without it.

 

[KalBalboa]

I'll wait for a $5 flash sale on Vice City.

Same here.

 

[What A Time To Be Alive]

GTA III runs like fucking ass for me. Like I'm talking sub-20's right here my boy.

 

[friskykillface]

as long as Hall & Oats songs aren't touched we good

the gods, but i am also waiting til this is on sale for like $5

 

[DAROCK2300]

So freakin' tempting....

Not at $15 a piece.

 

[5taquitos]

You gotta be kidding me.

Lol! Sony fucking you guys all the way.

I don't think any of the music issues, from cut tracks to lack of Spotify, are on Sony.

 

[hugocésar]

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

 

[matrix-cat]

I want to see what DF has to say about these framerates. The Star Wars games that came with Battlefront made it seem like we'd be seeing pretty good bumps in framerate, but if these still don't run well that's pretty shitty, especially for the price they're asking. Losing Billie Jean is just the icing on the cake. What do they play in that moment when you first get in the car instead?

"Digital Rights Management. Its the way of the future.

I was reading somewhere that John Deere was doing this with some of its tractor software or something, and farmers were having severe issues with operational situations. Imagine if you wanted to operate your vehicle or whatever, and it was inoperable because of server downtime.

 

[stuminus3]

Vice City doesn't have Kate Bush anymore?

WELL IT MIGHT AS WELL NOT EVEN EXIST THEN.

 

[Azriell]

I know it's not a perfect solution but you can always make a Spotify play list and then play that through the PS4 as you play GTA. It's what I did in Fallout 4 after the music got old.

According to other posts in this thread, you can't do that. Spotify is disabled.

 

[Mineshaft_Gap]

It would be nice if the series had proper controller support on PC.

Well in that case this really does suck.

I've tried that and it's not nearly as responsive as this. For real.

What hurts is how terrible it looks. GTAV is a pretty girl. This is a leftover MILF

EDIT: And reports of the soundtrack's demise are premature. There's like 5 terrible so GS missing. It's still the best OSTEVER

 

[DeathGlobe]

I recently replayed through entire series with that and left over fix and it worked flawlessly for me. It even displayed the Xbox 360 prompts

 

[80s Bad Guy]

And I meant every word that I said.

EDIT: Jesus the ost is skipping all over the place. I should have walked away.

ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN, CJ!
I hate this mission!!

[dh4niel]

I'm super tempted as I want to play these games with decent controller support but I think I can wait for the DigitalFoundry analysis. Just.

 

[mikefrails]

I'm questioning whether VC is worth it without it's full soundtrack.

 

[YomommaZ]

I'm interested in getting this on a sale sometime. It would be a nice trip down memory lane. I just have to find time to actually play them.

My favourite songs were "Video Killed The Radio Star" from VC and "It Was a Good Day" from SA so I'm glad those 2 are still in.

Can someone post a few screens please?

 

[Drac84]

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

 

[Pics_nao]

No Billie Jean, no buy.

Spoiler

Nah I can't say no to VC

Stop running you fat slimeball!

Man, I wish vice city had a versus mode. I would show you my little friend. I mean...

Sure can

I disabled the trails filter in VC and GTA3

 

[jjasso21]

Wow, $15 for each of the GTA games. It's tough to justify it. I may have to watch a few YouTube videos on the quality of each game itself.

 

[ramoisdead]

Getting rid of MJ and 2Pac songs is a crime.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

I was going to literally rebuy all of these GTA's on the PS4 mainly because of the soundtracks. I wanted to take a trip down nostalgia road and reminisce on how good the music in the games was. It sucks so bad that the soundtracks have been stripped =(.

 

[L.O.R.D]

i still have the original PC version with hot coffee mode
Also bought the entire collection from 1 to 4 with all dlc for $10

 

[sw26]

Any confirmation if the UK/EU release is 50Hz?

 

[Tunavi]

60 fps?
