Lament the Cruel Passage of Time and Your Own Mortality by Acknowledging that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is 10 Years Ol

This was my first GTA experience and it's still got to be my favorite. Loved the music, loved the neon, loved the Ray Liotta...I love this game!!!

I am unable to handle the nostalgia.

Damn, that trailer was nostalgic.

idunno. the gameplay doesn't really hold up imo, compared to what they've done since then with Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3, and GTA 4. shooting and movement in general is clunky as all hell, and losing all yr shit when you die makes it even worse.

if they did a remake of the game that improved all those aspects, I would totally be on board, even if they didn't update the graphics at all.

Ah, the best GTA game. 
 
Rockstar really knows how to put a trailer together.

I have this game on steam, and it is always installed. Like somone said, you just can't beat Vice City as a Period Peice...the 80's rocked.

Doing top speed down the main drag from Downtown to Vice Port at night on my PCJ 600 while Billie Jean blared was about the coolest I've ever felt in a videogame.

I am now meta-nostalgic.

im definitely playing this tonight, xbox port, trails off.

Man, I was 24 when this game came out.  Now I do feel old.  =/  One of the best games of all time though, couldnt stop playing this one!

Good ol' Seasparrow behind the mansion.

I got two outboard engines!

I just now thought to myself, for the first time, what the fuck were my parents thinking letting me near GTA3 at the age of 9 and VC at the age of 10!?!

I forgot how much Scarface this game was.

Oh man this nostalgic throwback to the 80s is old enough to be featured in a throwback to a decade ago... man. MAN. I knew our post-modern culture would start to get weirdly self-reflexive if I waited long enough.

This is still my favorite GTA game.

Still the best GTA in my opinion.

How the hell did they manage to translate a game like this to touch only devices? It must play awful.

Dude you can drive BIKES !!!

Too bad Sony Music Entertainment got Vice City pulled from Steam over music licensing.

wow, that trailer just aged me 10 years

Chase a man down in the middle of the street with a chainsaw all over again this December sixth.

Holy shit, I was 10 when I played this.

Doesn't seem like 10 years wow fond memories of this game the flying tank trick was always fun.

now im not a HUGE graphics whore , but there is no way i could play this game again with those graphics.

Woah, wait, what?

Coming to iOS and Android?!??

Is still my favorite in the series, IV just had too many player to friend interactions that had to take place. If I wanted to go bowling or drinking with a buddy, I would jump in my car and go to a real bar.

Nostalgic overload, great game with a great sundtrack
I'll buy it on my iPhone when it's cheap

So many memories!

I remember my friend getting it and telling how you can ride motorcycles and that it was super funny when you got thrown off, he was right! Perfect music, that was one of my favorite songs in the game. The language, just the look and feel. Awesome. Spike strips? the fuck!!!!

I will always remember my experiences with this game. Probably over 100 hours all told, comparable to my times with FF7/8 and No Mercy/Wrestlemania. Back when getting your wanted level up was fun. You could keep it going for huge amounts of time thanks to wanted icons all over the map that decreased your wanted level slightly without erasing it entirely. Also owning businesses, the club specifically and the bank job mission that came along with it, were spectacular. Finding a hooker to get a little health boost, killing her afterward to get your money back.. ah to be a youth again.

Last but not least, Tommy Vercetti.. a legitimately funny character. Instead of these guys I'm supposed to relate with and feel sorry for. Just give me someone who is plainly crazy, with a sense of humor.

@Doctor_Fink: Agreed. The music was awesome in that game.

I will gladly add my voice to the chorus and sing the praises of Vice City's soundtrack. That was some seriously rad music they used. VRock, Radio Espantoso, Lovefist, Maurice Chavez… everything… just perfect.

"Is it true you like my curls?
Do you think we look like girls?
Would it cause a sexual block,
If you saw our great… big… socks?"

@Bassman2112: they did it with GTA 3 so now it's time for Vice City

A fantastic game with a great soundtrack.

Lance Vance is still a prick.

No Windows Phone? Grrrrrrrr

Can wait to play it on my phone, so many memories. San Andreas has even more though, hope that gets ported soon also.

Basically unplayable on a touchscreen, I really tried to like it on Android but it just wasn't worth it.

Whatever, Green Day's Kerplunk is TWENTY YEARS OLD! Bask in your oldness!

Vice city will always be my favorite. San Andreas is overrated and GTA IV was just awful. Vice City is the last time I ever truly loved the series.

oh alex you and your crazy (in a good way) video titles

Oh the days of boxy, pointed faces and bodies.

Best headline in a while.

Best GTA Game.

That bank heist mission was hard with a mouse and keyboard, imagine how it will be on an ipad.

Fuck that

Still my favorite GTA game.

Awesome trailer. Vice City is still my favorite in the series, due in large part to the absolutely fantastic soundtrack. I can't imagine playing it on a touch screen, but I might be tempted to boot it up on the PC after seeing that.

I'm picking that shit up on android day one.

i shall live forever
