GTA VC - Why Steam was NOT a bad version? - Feat. MrMario

If you have GTA releases on Steam, I would be grateful if you could take a look at this tutorial below! tinyurl.com/y72w4tna 😎 P.S. This used to be an old tutorial for Australian gamers. Now it isn't important where you live or activated the game. P.S.S. Can you click on "thumbs up" on this comment so it could be higher? Thanks!

[@rompevuevitos222]

@@aspirewot8408 My point is that they never really removed the music Also, if they don't update the game, they don't need to remove the music since they can keep the game up after the license expires Otherwise they could deem your physical copy illegal because the contract expired and you still have the non-licensed songs They could avoid all this problems if they updated it BEFORE the license expired instead of waiting 10 years for a re-release because it wasn't valuable to fix the game before But ofc then the comunity has to step up to fix their shit so why would they care amirite?

In case you don't know he was meant to be an ally for the entirety of the game till the end, was changed to be enemy due to rockstar problems with the voice actor of Ryder so they changed his role in the game after los santos missions. So since it's so hard to give him new lines I think it's better if they just kill him during the last mission in los santos or make him disappear.

[@gianrivera2293]

Compare all the Rockstar games console vs. PC and different versions.

[@YarbroughJL82]

GTA VCs graphic corruption bug may have been due to DirectX 9.0 [Dx9] which was released only 5-6 months prior to the game's release. The game requirements listed DirectX 9.0 compatibility as a requirement, but programmable pixel shaders were fairly new (pixel shader 2.0 debuted with Dx9). Not all of these shaders were equal, and instructions were handled differently between them - especially when dealing with textures. I would be willing to bet compatibility issues disappeared as Dx9, and the offending drivers, were updated.

[@suicidalbanananana]

What i think happened with the songs is that upon knowing the license was going to expire Rockstar prepared a version without the songs, then it took Valve a few weeks to add the functionality of giving buyers a different version of the game based on purchase dates, then somehow somebody at Sony and/or Rockstar went 'but wait, why not simply renew the song license?', and that happened instead, so when Valve (finally, valvetime style) completed the functionality, Rockstar felt like they should at the least use it, regardless of the different solution found in the mean time.

[@rixille]

There is a serious problem when games that stopped being developed or patched over a decade ago receive a new update that alters the game in any way. Steam users should have the option to load the original version of their game.

[@Mister_BIack]

I played the first 1.0 Vice City release on the PS2, the second version on PS2 a whole after and I have the Steam version of Vice City. The only thing I noticed when it comes to version differences are blood and rampages (and one mission for the bikers where you wreck the city). Since I live in Germany and we all know the Germans are pretty hardcore when it comes to censoring back then I never missed both blood and rampages, I could always live without it. The thing I care about is smooth gameplay and controller compability. I needed to cap Vice City at 60fps because it would have weird car mechanics and gravity glitches and a controller can only be used via modding but if both runs well, I'd say the Steam version is the best I've seen yet when it comes to stability, functionality, gameplay and control IF you can accept no blood and rampages (imo). Thank you for this video, was very informative as always.

The censorship in the German version was not because of laws, it was because R* only gave the already edited version to the rating board. The PS4 version, which is a completely new release, is uncensored in Germany. Oh, and by the way, the first PS2 version was too, if console and game were set to english, which is where the fiasco comes in. As only the edited german version was rated, releasing the version that could be made uncensored to retail was illegal, as only games in their rated versions could be sold. R* paniced, and threw out the edited PS2 version and this weird PC release.

Moral of the story: Get a CD of Vice City if you wantto play with no problem. Or get the torrent... No need to thank me

[@VyceryonNet]

Doesn’t really matter much, when the differences are triggered by an init script, that can easily be edited in the games containing folder, for example in GTA3 you can’t blow up a passenger airplane, the script only allows blowing up the dead dodo, unless you change the “No” to a “Yes,” or visa versa, that goes for any game in GTA series, the animations are in the game but are locked until the script allows them to be used, or forced in this case by the user using notepad, wordpad etc, don’t worry if you mess something up, just delete the entire containing folder, the uninstall, when you reinstall it’ll be back to the default script.
