So if Rockstar were to release a game for the PS Vita, wouldn’t it make sense for them to go down the financially viable route of porting an already existing game? Rockstar’s parent company Take Two seems to think so, as made evident by the release of Borderlands 2 on the Vita.
So it stands to reason that Rockstar may be looking to capitalise on the Grand Theft Auto name with the PS Vita, and what better way to do so than with one of the most popular games in the series? Given that the PS Vita hasn’t performed as Sony had expected many developers and publishers have sought to cut costs when it comes to developing for the mighty handheld, just look at the LEGO games which are basically ports of the 3DS versions, even though the PS Vita should be capable of running the PS3 versions albeit with minor downgrades. Then we had the PSP duo of games GTA: Vice City Stories and GTA: Liberty City Stories for the PS Vita, both selling extremely well on the platform garnering critical acclaim from handheld enthusiasts. The world-renowned developer also released the successful GTA: Chinatown Wars on the PSP and the considerably weaker Nintendo DS as well as pushing it out onto iOS devices. Rockstar has supported almost every major handheld with a Grand Theft Auto game, even the Gameboy Advance was graced with a top-down title that harked back to the days of GTA 2 on the PS One. The update was basically a port of the iOS and Android version of GTA: San Andreas HD, a mobile game that’s performed well in the charts over the last few months and has been a hit with mobile gamers.īut could Rockstar be about to deploy the fan favourite to the struggling PS Vita? Possibly. The updated game featured a new lick of paint to the tired visuals and some achievements to give you an incentive to explore the vast world of San Andreas.
Late last month Rockstar sneakily pulled GTA: San Andreas from the Xbox Live Marketplace and replaced it with the updated GTA: San Andreas HD.
