    GTA: Vice City Primed for Re-Release?



    GTA: Vice City Primed for Re-Release?
    Re-classification of game sparks rumours.

    Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has been granted a rating by the Australian Classification board eight years after its release, fuelling speculation that a re-release may be on the cards for the current generation of consoles.

    Originally released in 2002, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City took Rockstar's open world formula back to a 80s flavoured spin on Miami, and it's proved one of the most fondly remembered entries in the series. We liked it so much back in the day we wrote a small novel extolling its virtues.

    A new rating appeared on the board's site yesterday (spotted by Kotaku), suggesting that it could be due a revival of sorts – though in what form and in what shape it is as yet unclear.

    Rockstar were unable to shed any light on the classification, leaving us to scratch our heads as to what this could be; an XBLA & PSN re-release or an all new re-imagining? Please join us in making things up in the comments field below.

      I would love a reboot with updates to gameplay, graphics, and control similar to GTA4. I would preorder today.

          My 2nd favorite GTA game after III.

          I wonder if they have ever explored a 30s and 40s mafia family style game.

            UPDATE: You can step down from fantasizing about the news - Rockstar has confirmed that is related to the rather unexciting business of its PC back catalogue, and isn't related to any forthcoming GTA games.
            Dang it!

                  I would flat out love a HD update of the last gen GTA trilogy. Similar to the God of War Collection. If they could bring it all up to 720p, bump the frame rate up to 60fps and maybe add mid mission checkpoints then surely it would be a license to print money...

                    San Andreas, Vice City and GTAIII Liberty City with updated graphics? I'd be in gaming heaven!

                        Like what city?

                        I wish this was happening with all the achievements and possible additional DLC to expand. I probably would scoop it up myself. I wonder how hard it would be to update those things. I still need to finish 4 though.......

                          Yesterday as I was finishing up "The Lost and the Damned" I was hoping that the next GTA installment would be something like a Vice City 80's throwback, then I came across this thread today. I was all excited, then I read the update =(

                          I still had the most fun playing Vice City on ps2, because that was the first GTA game I played. Since I have completed the main story for every installment available on ps2 and 360 except for Liberty City Stories, and Vice City Stories on ps2. I just didn't like either of them.

                            o....this is what i thought rockstar games was doin....gta III took place in liberty city and that was for the ps2 etc. on the current gen. consoles gta 4 took place in liberty city also so with my creative imagination i was lead to believe that the next installment of gta would take place in Vice City or a city of its resemblance (maybe Vegas) and then the next installment would take place in San Andreas or a city of its resemblance.....Im hoping that this is what they do because i enjoyed every installment of gta san andreas being my favorite.....

                              I'm hoping the next GTA takes place in a midwestern state with three cities based on Chicago, Detroit & St. Louis. So far GTA has covered the east coast, south, southwest & west coast but not the midwest.
