Grand Theft Auto 3 and GTA: Vice City reappear on ESRB for PS3

Now, Tommy, that says "coming soon".



Open world PlayStation 2 gangster romps Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City may soon be re-released on PlayStation Network.

Both have reappeared, rated M for PS3, on the American ratings board ESRB.

They first appeared back in January. That they're back, suggests a release may not be too far away.

These won't be HD remakes - they'd probably be sold together in a special bundle if they were.

Rockstar hasn't officially announced anything.

But where is San Andreas - at the gym? The only explanation we can think of is that Grand Theft Auto 5, reportedly due this October, shares the same setting - both beautifully compared side-by-side in a fan-made video.

Grand Theft Auto 3 was released in the autumn of 2001, when Eurogamer operations director Tom Bramwell was a fresh-faced young upstart with a pen in his hand and a game in his drive. Glassy eyed, he wrote, "There are some real eye-opening moments, like rain pouring down from the clouds and the huge moon glinting at you from the sky..."

Vice City touched down just one year later, in 2002. Both Tom Bramwell and Eurogamer's then editor Kristan Reed reviewed it.

Vice City Is Still My Favorite GTA ...I Could See Why San Andreas Would Be For Other's

MrSoutCity

I will finally get a chance to finish Vice City

Vice City was my favourite. But I never got to play right thru San Andreas, so would like a them to remake that.

But please, I'm begging for a remake of Bully. That game was good.

They ported it....to the 360. I still have the PS2 versions of all the GTAs and Bully so I'll skip this.

But it's the Wii tho. I'm not even tryna be a troll, but is the Wii even more powerful than PS2/Original Xbox?

I have my PS2 copies of Bully and SA, but the memory card ports on my PS2 don't work anymore.

No, it says they won't be HD remakes.

Unless they debug San Andreas don't bother. That game was filled with glitches

A graphics upgrade would have been dope. I guess its a good idea for those too young to play it back in the day. This is the only market I see this appealing to. They all had a different atmosphere. 3 is my favorite though.
