But today, the Rockstar classic that we want to call attention to is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – and why a remake of it would make all the sense in the world to everybody involved. Games like Manhunt, Red Dead Revolver, and Bully would absolutely sell themselves while single-handedly reviving the franchises to which they belong. As such, with Rockstar’s ever-growing catalogue of great games that still hold up incredibly well on a conceptual level, the idea of some of these games getting a proper remake is very alluring. Remakes can update a game in ways that make it feel more like it belongs in the current generation with completely updated graphics, improved gameplay, and a host of other things that breathe completely new life into a game. Still yet, an optimized port of a classic game will never quite have the tantalizing appeal of a full-on remake. This is certainly appreciated, as the older hardware needed to run original versions of these games is more often than not incompatible with modern TVs and PS2’s themselves are getting pretty old, and less of them maintain their ability to properly function with every passing day. At best, we do seem to get occasional ports of some of their more popular older games, especially those from the PS2 era. This is both a curse and a blessing, as it’s nice to see these new entries continue to come out and raise the bar for their respective genres, but it’s also a bit of a shame that we have little reason to expect Rockstar to ever revitalize their older games. That said, Rockstar does seem laser focused on churning out new entries of their flagship franchises – not really going back to old ones.
It’s no secret that the Grand Theft Auto series is full of fantastic classic games that still have plenty of juice left in them.
