    http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/45851/celebrating-the-grand-theft-auto-vice-city-10th-anniversary-plus.html
    Building on the success of the groundbreaking Grand Theft Auto III in 2001, the release of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on October 29, 2002 pushed the open world game series deeper into popular culture with a vibrant over-the-top take on Miami, a stunning celebrity voice cast and a loving, satirical look at the cultural excesses of the ‘80s.

    To celebrate the 10th anniversary, there will be a series of commemorative assets released, including never-before-seen artwork and a brand new anniversary trailer highlighting some of the most iconic scenes and music from the game. In addition, a limited run of collectable promotional items will be made available for purchase through the Rockstar Warehouse, with select items also available via online giveaways.

    In conjunction with the anniversary, we're pleased to announce that we'll be releasing an Anniversary Edition of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for select iOS and Android devices later this fall. This upcoming version will bring the full experience to mobile devices, featuring native high-resolution graphics and several enhancements unique to the iOS and Android platforms. Stay tuned for more details in the weeks ahead including a list of compatible iOS and Android devices.

    Most have probably seen this, but I just spotted it on R*'s newswire a moment ago. Vice City 10th Anniversary Trailer:



    I'm excited for Thursday, can't wait to see what this looks like on me iPhone 5's 4" retina display. I never finished the original VC, so some of it will be quite new, it'll be fun.

    Yeah, I bought it last night. Played it for 30mins, and was very smooth! I enjoyed it, brought bac some memories :)

    Was playing it on an ipad 3.

    Got this for iphone 4s this morning. Plays pretty well.

    I notice that when you save a game you have two icloud slots. Does this mean you can pick up on ipad where you left off on iphone?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 197 ✭✭PaurGasm


    The favourite game of my childhood...Gonna go buy it now actually!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10,259 ✭✭✭✭Melion

    Are you sure it's compatible with your device?

    I have a Galaxy s3 so it had better be compatible.

    Yeah, it says it's compatible in the market.

    I just checked on my S3 and its not coming up. Maybe try sign into play.google.com and buy it using link above?

    On ipad it was 1.3 GB, so probably best to use a wifi connection.

    Just looked at them. Typical play store problems. Thats one of the reason why I download most games on ipad and not S3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 805 ✭✭✭xerces


    Just downloaded it, it looks and plays beautifully on the iPhone 5.

    I'm amazed that I have the full Vice City game on my phone, I'm off after the 100%, woohoo!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10,259 ✭✭✭✭Melion


    It was taken down, whats going on :( I want to play it today


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,105 ✭✭✭Benny_Cake


    According to a mail from Rockstar Propaganda, the Android release has been delayed until the end of next week due to unforseen technical issues.It should be available on iOS now.

    Makes sense if it does.
    If santa is good to me this crimbo i will be downloading this straight away.
