Shame on you Lola! Razz

Vice City is probably my favorite GTA, ever. Yes there were constraints, and it did not offer the same freedom/variety as SA, but driving a fancy Infernus through South Beach at night with some golden hit from the 80s playing in the background was priceless. The characters were all glorious too, same for most of the missions.

This, I played them all except the one we do not speak off... And I always look back with fondness to VC for it's atmosphere. Everything came together so well. Smile

Hell and that's not even doing it justice since the other stations were great as well Very Happy

VICE CITY MADE ON GTAV ENGINE on PS4 damn I WOULD BUY THAT IF IT WOULD COST 100$

seriously ... this game is so epic even GTAV CAN NOT TOUCH IT !!!!


the only other game that COULD touch the COCAINE ERA OF NINETIES was SCARFACE !!! it had also that 1980-90 vibe to it
damn that game HAD STYLE and MUSIC ... would also RE-BUY IT if they would remake it on a new ENGINE , i already own a original PS2 and PC copy of it



oh and fuck the PS2 version of Chinatown get the DS version is SUPERIOR IN EVERY WAY , from nice touch controls to special mission to ... and yes it works flawless on NO$GBA

Lol, 5 being my first GTA, I was surprised upon starting GTA IV to hear that Phil Collins was also on the radio in that game ((with Genesis' Mama). Lots of other stuff that carried through too, Bob Seger, Hall and Oates and Queen to name just a couple.

What is "the one we shall not mention"?

And GTA Chinatown Wars on DS is the same as ios version, right?

nope Chinatown IOS is Inferior because, its the fucked up port of the PSP version !!! not the DS VERSION with touch control interface , map , games , drug trade etc all those things where in the DS version are just cut ... just see the IGN review [this video that i posted that shows those features]

the INFERIOR IOS version


heck i finished this whole DS game on my android tablet , running tough a emulator

DS version is the way to go !!!

Yes.

@Hfric

What are you talking about? Chinatown Wars iOS has *all* the same touch mechanics that the DS version does because, here's the wonderful kicker, iPhones/Pads are touchscreen devices Troll Dad As for content? Nothing was removed from the iOS version that was included in the NDS, they even went back to using the NDS-style visuals instead of the PSP's updated visuals as well as later adding all the PSP-exclusive radio stations, making it the definitive version to get. All the touchscreen minigames that were removed in the PSP version come back for the iOS one. Also, the PSP version *didn't* cut the Drug Trade and neither does the iOS version.

So no, the iOS version is *not* inferior. It's SUPERIOR Wink Improved visual quality over the NDS, antialiasing, smoother framerate, bigger screen (I actually really like the PiP aspect of the puzzles that make do with a single screen rather than two on the NDS), more audio (including Independence FM for playing your own iTunes music) and none of the drawbacks of the PSP port.

Bullshit.

Touch control interface = check. Not cut.
Map = check. Not cut.
Drug Trading = check. Not cut.

The visual style is the same as the NDS version, only running at a significantly higher resolution and with some extra lighting/detail. Still uses the same celshaded effect, unlike the PSP which switched to a more traditional visual style. Ergo; NDS version, not PSP.

it works fine only on the Clone version of this game , same was at the scene release date ... the crack was nothing more then a compressed emu put int the same exe , not only it made this game ONLY run in winxp then other systems that where also compatible but also slowed this game by 10 fps ... in this forum i shared a thing that was a internal loop hole in Securom that was used for many year by known coders , NFO DUBED this Register fix and Procyon and other just took this and posted like crazy in theres NFO ... like they found a messiah , a registry method that runs clones without any emulation software wow ... Rolling Eyes

so get the clone , use my method thats now all over the net , and run it with 1 core affinity [1 CPU CORE]

change this in bios or in Msconfig

if your graphic card still has problems , blame DX11 fucked up dx9c emulation see this
also read his about on YT for more info

Yea saw it some days ago already.
Would look more than good enough for a remaster TBH. No need for realistic characters or environments, as the art style itself is good looking.
