They’re just greedy, they could easily afford to repurchase the licenses. Heck a lot of them they’d probably get discounted or for free due to how much reach and free publicity their product effectively offers.
@@GumballiInneParodie then that would ruin the point of the game, people mainly know this game because of phil collins, and plus the founder of rockstar is a phil collins fan so why would they do that 💀
Why would they? The gta 3, vice city and San andreas remasters were major failures. So if they remastered this, it automatically wouldn't be well received. If those remasters did well then I'm sure they would get the proper licensing and release it, as well as liberty city stories, but there's just no point now. They wouldn't sell well.
My grandmother and father bought me PSP when I was 6 years old. It was 2008. I played different games I could play and I have both LCS and VCS. 21 years old and I still play them. I like LCS more cause there are missions not as annoying and insanely hard as in VCS, but VCS still has special place in my brain.
It would run like shit, better buy a PSP is cheaper than a phone, because to run PSP games on mobile you need at least a 300€ phone with big screen or tablet.
Never played the game, but I’ve watched videos on it. Fantastic soundtrack and an amazing story. Rockstar should remake it, but due to their stupid cheapness, they won’t.
Didn't they remove VCS from the PS3 store though? They removed it from PS Vita too but you can still get it if you buy the PSP collection which also gives LCS and Chinatown Wars.
Such a good game the story was awesome and the game had alot of missions im glad i got to play it on ps2 but its sad to see it not come back no wonder i can never find this game anywhere
Dammmnnnn I completely forgot about that I was always wondering why they never remastered this it was so good and I forgot they had Phil collins and in the air tonight damn copyrights
@@markedmanmist I barley played vcs the graphics don't look good as gta lcs sure there are some bugs with lighting and texture but lcs is a great game aswell
I had this AND liberty city stories for my PSP circa 2005. Simpler times. I remember how cool I felt playing GTA in study hall or a free period at school instead of waiting til I got home to use the PS2.
Another (possibly bigger) reason behind not remastering VCS was the financial failure of GTA: LCS on mobile devices. Once that happened, Rockstar paused any further developments of remasters until DE.
If they do it’s gonna suck and people don’t want remasters from theme anyways since how bad they do with the definitive edition and they will hire grove street games if they wanna remaster it
They did with GTA 4’s Vladivostok FM station as well. Rockstar was too cheap to renew the licensing, so just replaced the entire station with different songs. It’s honestly gross how greedy they are.
Tbh I don’t really care about remaster i just wish they put this and LCS ps2 versions on ps5 like they did with 3, san andreas and vice city before the DE came out
In some ways I'm happy for this, VCS is my all time favorite GTA and I can only imagine what it would of looked like if t2 or r* butchered it like the trilogy edition!
I played it on PC it’s was such great game I think I liked it more then Vice city because of all the businesses & the Drug story and the music obviously.
I played this game only on *PlayStation 2* and it even had Phil Collins as the guest character along with his greatest hit "In The Air Tonight" which was available on Emotion 98.3 that I could listen to. I mean, I know Rockstar can be so unbelievably frugal with their decisions after Dan Houser, Leslie Benzies and Lazlow Jones left for good, but I didn't think they could be so indolent enough to not repurchase the rights since they already have lots of money.
Yoooooo I’ve never played this, I just recently beat liberty city stories and couldn’t believe I went so long without playing it. But I never knew Phil Collins was actually in a gta game that’s crazy
That's why vice city & San Andreas didn't have all the songs because of license, I'm like if you can afford it then you can now even tho yesterday price is not today's price
I think VCS has the best story line out of any gta. Reason being is every main character is memorable and some even being genuinely funny. There is a mod for GTA VC that converts it into VCS including the first 10 missions or so. I also think a bigger reason why we won't see a re-release of this game is yes copyrights with the music and stuff but this game is also a legal mess because it was made exclusively for the PSP and then later ported to the PS2. look at LCS, I'm pretty sure all of the music is R* own music they made and own yet we still can't get LCS on PC or Xbox or mobile.
They could’ve just cut that part out or redesign the level to where it has nothing to do with Phil Collins. I know it’s easier said than done but it is 100% doable.
This is the only GTA game I haven't played. I played LCS when it got ported to PS2...I wanting to play this one really bad, but by the time this one got ported, life got busy and it completely slipped under my radar.
