One of the easiest methods for earning money is to hold up a store. It’s fairly simple – just point your gun at the cashier. Keeping the gun focused on the cashier will increase the amount earned but will also quickly raise your Wanted level. Make sure you’re ready to evade the cops or retreat to a nearby safe house after the deed is done.

Also, much like Grand Theft Auto 3, there’s a list of cars that you can deliver for cash. The key difference is that you’ll need to purchase the Sunshine Autos property. After that, any cars that are delivered will increase the daily income earned from the asset. This also unlocks street races which, despite having an entry fee, offer lots of profit if you come in first (especially the last race, which can be farmed endlessly for up to $40,000).

In terms of which assets to purchase first, it’s a good idea to acquire Malibu Club and Boatyard along with Sunshine Autos since these can provide a quick profit with their daily income. If you want the maximum amount of daily income, prioritize purchasing all of the different assets and completing their missions.

Also, much like its predecessor, completing various activities like taxi driving, paramedic work and so on will award some cash. These provide upgrades like max health increases and whatnot as well. It’s also key to save often, especially when embarking on missions where you could die (since respawning in the hospital costs money each time).

Of course, you can also just unlock everything and gain tons of cash by using cheats – head here to learn more. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition is currently available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch as part of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is currently available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. Check out our official review here for more details. It’s also coming to iOS and Android next year.

Of course, several days before release, there were numerous concerns. Why hadn’t Rockstar, or the actual developer Grove Street Games, showcased any extensive gameplay footage? Why hadn’t we seen improvements like the Grand Theft Auto 5-style control scheme in action? The trilogy was already receiving a bit of backlash for its aesthetic, which leaned more into a cartoony 3D style than photo-realism, so there was already some skepticism.

Sure enough, we wouldn’t get any real comparison footage until the trilogy was actually released. And by that, we mean “released on consoles.” If you were one of the unlucky few to buy it on PC, then Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition – arguably one of the most anticipated remastered collections in years – was unplayable at launch. This is due to the Rockstar Games Launcher going down for maintenance. So if you spent $60 on this, sight-unseen or not, then you couldn’t play it for more than a day after launch. But wait, there’s more.

Eventually, the Rockstar Games Launcher did come back online but the GTA Trilogy was made unavailable to play or purchase due to “files unintentionally included” in the same. These “unintentionally included” files were discovered by dataminers to be comments by the developer and several unlicensed songs. The comments are whatever but these were songs that were supposedly removed due to licensing issues. Instead, they were actually just disabled. While they can’t be accessed by your average player, it’s still not a good look.

Keep in mind that all of this is just with the PC version of the game. The console versions have been knocked for performance issues, including frame rate drops on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S (don’t even get us started on the Switch version). While the environments have been praised, character models have seen better days whether it’s in strangely shaped shoulders, odd fingernails or faces that are completely different from the original games. Then there’s the oppressive rain in GTA: San Andreas, misspellings galore, glitches, broken textures, the list goes on.

Rockstar has already begun the process of issuing refunds for the PC version and Grove Street Games has already promised updates while also stating that it was “enjoying this unparalleled level of scrutiny.” While comparisons have been made to Cyberpunk 2077 and its disastrous launch, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition isn’t quite there. These games, at their core, are still classics and fans are enjoying what they can. But the fact that a project with the Rockstar Games label – which last adorned Red Dead Redemption 2, lest we forget – and which has been a dream for many a fan has come out in this state is just downright confounding.

What the hell happened? How did the developers fumble this so epically? Many have pointed to the fact that Grove Street Games was originally War Drum Studios. It’s known for developing the 10^th Anniversary Editions of Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City along with bringing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to iOS, Android, Xbox 360 and PS3. Those ports were dubious for not only making unwanted changes to the visuals but also having performance issues and bugs (which is interesting given how positively received San Andreas was on iOS).

One could easily point to Grove Street Games and blame them for everything but things are often more complicated than they seem. How long the remastered trilogy was in development, the budget allocated to the team, the effect of current events on the development pipeline – all of these things are to be taken into account. But how much of a role did Rockstar play? What was Rockstar mandated and what wasn’t? Did it make the decision to go with this new art-style because it didn’t want to shell out the cash and resources for full remakes? Were remakes initially planned and then reduced in scope due to the amount of resources required?

It’s hard to say but given how Take Two Interactive has been taking down fan remakes and mods over the years – and how it’s already begun doing the same for Grand Theft Auto 4 – it’s hard to believe that there isn’t some agenda at play to cut corners while reaping in the most profit possible. Besides, at the end of the day, it’s Rockstar and Take Two that decide how to market the game. They made the decision to not show any extensive gameplay footage or comparisons until launch.

They also made the decision to price this trilogy at $60 while removing the original versions from sale on digital storefronts. Rockstar even made the decision to not have any pre-loading for the PC version. It’s almost as if this was to prevent anyone from getting their hands on the incriminating data before launch and causing a stink, thus impacting sales. Why did they think no one would notice after launch? A question for another time.

One could theorize about all of this endlessly and push Rockstar to do better. One could also get angry at Grove Street Games for doing a poor job or curse Take Two Interactive for its money-grubbing ways. They could also try to enjoy the trilogy for what it is and perhaps find some tinge of nostalgia that the 3D Universe provides (warts and all).

But is this whole debacle going to have any major, long-term ramifications for either Rockstar or Take Two? Some fans will be less than eager to jump into the definitive edition of GTA 4 when that’s inevitably announced (based on what rumors say, at least). Yet there will be millions who jump in, no questions asked, just because of the Grand Theft Auto name. And even if that fails, well, don’t worry because the hype cycle can kick off once more when Grand Theft Auto 6 is announced.

That the same thing can happen, year in and year out, regardless of which game or publisher makes headlines is indicative of much bigger problems. Regardless, if you’re going to pick up Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, then either hold off until updates have improved performance or try GTA: San Andreas on Xbox Game Pass to see if it’s your speed. Or you could buy any number of remasters/remakes, to say nothing of all of the great new games that have been released this year. You may not put much of a dent into Take Two’s financials but at least you’ll be having fun.

Story

The story sees Tommy Vercetti of the Forelli mafia leaving prison after a 15 year stint and being sent to Vice City for a deal with the Vance Brothers. Things go south when the group is ambushed and it’s up to Tommy to retrieve the product and the cash for his boss Sonny. Like many adventures in the series, a journey through the criminal underworld begins as Tommy meets various characters, locates the culprit and just has a ball living out his violent tendencies.

Cast

The first major difference between Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City is that Tommy is a fully voiced protagonist (with none other than the legendary Ray Liotta playing him). Other characters that the player meets include Lance Vance (played by Philip Michael Thomas), who’s seeking revenge for his brother’s death; crooked real estate developer Avery Carrington (played by another legend in Burt Reynolds); and kingpin Ricardo Diaz (played Luis Guzman); and much more. Other star talent includes Gary Busey, Dennis Hopper and even Danny Trejo.

Setting

In terms of scale, Vice City isn’t a whole lot bigger than Liberty City but it does have a lot to offer. Inspired by 80s Miami, it’s composed of two main islands – Vice City Beach and Vice City Mainland, each having their own districts and unique locations. There are also two smaller islands – Starfish Island and Prawn Island – to explore as well.

Graphics

Rockstar has already confirmed extensive visual improvements across the board like revamped character models, high-resolution textures, more effects and environmental details, and greater draw distance (with support for 4K and up to 60 FPS). Compared to Grand Theft Auto 3, the aesthetic is a lot brighter and more colorful, whether it’s the sunny beaches or the neon-drenched skyline at night.

Open World Design and Activities

In terms of open world design, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City features many of the same activities as Grand Theft Auto 3 like vigilantism, fire fighting, stealing a taxi cab and delivering passengers for fare, and acting as a paramedic. A new activity, pizza boy, is also included. Completing these will once again unlock specific perks and bonuses like increased max health and body armor, fire immunity and so on. Other new additions that help the world come alive include a shooting range for testing out different weapons, robbing stores and, of course, causing random havoc to increase one’s Wanted level.

More Side Content

While GTA: Vice City has “only” 38 Story Missions, its side content is significantly greater than GTA 3. There are asset missions (which increase the amount of money earned from an asset per day), phone missions involving assassinations, street races, RC races, stadium missions which range from a demolition derby to a bike obstacle course, and much more. Combined with all of the different activities that need to be completed, there’s a lot of content on offer.

Assets

After completing a certain story mission, GTA: Vice City provides the option to acquire Assets. These are essentially businesses which can provide a steady stream of income each day (provided you complete all of their associated Asset Missions) along with save points. The majority of them must be purchased and while it costs $400,000 in total, the mobile version of Vice City halved each Asset’s cost. Perhaps this will carry over into the Definitive Edition? We’ll have to wait and see.

Safehouses and Properties

Much like in GTA 3, you have safehouses where you can save progress, change outfits and equip weapons. However, there are also various different properties which can be purchased. These function as safehouses but also allow for storing vehicles in the garage. Some even have neat features like employing bodyguards outside of the premises. While not introducing tons of new features over its predecessor, being able to marvel upon your properties, whether it’s the Ocean View Hotel or El Swanko Casa, is great.

Gangs

Though the “businessmen” rule Vice City, there are still various small gangs fighting to eke out a living. Tommy can undertake missions for different gangs and upon completion, they’ll come to his aid in combat. Meanwhile, rival gangs will attempt to attack, which can lead to some impromptu gang warfare.

Radio Stations

Like Grand Theft Auto 3, there are nine radio stations in Vice City but with much more licensed music than before. You have Flash FM with pop music like Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean; Iron Maiden’s 2 Minutes to Midnight on V-Rock; and Fever 105 with tracks like Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang. There’s also Vice Public Radio, a public talk station, and K-Chat which hosts celebrity interviews. An “MP3 player” is also available like in GTA 3 which allows for importing one’s songs into a custom playlist.

Vehicles

There are 101 vehicles in GTA: Vice City with a much greater variety to choose from across Four-Door Cars, Two-Door Cars, Vans, Industrial vehicles, Boats, Sports Cars and RC Cars. It also introduces motorcycles and aircraft that could actually be flown. The Definitive Edition promises a control layout similar to Grand Theft Auto 5 but how this will improve the original game’s driving – which is still better than GTA 3 – remains to be seen.

Weapons

Compared to Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City significantly ups the amount of weapons that can be acquired. These include the Colt .45 and Colt Python pistols, Spaz 12 and Pump Action Shotgun, the MP5 and Tec9 SMGs, and even a minigun alongside the flamethrower and rocket launcher. Even better is the sheer number of melee weapons from a simple screwdriver and knife to a katana, chainsaw, meat cleaver and machete.

Checkpoint System

Though all games in this trilogy will benefit from a checkpoint system, it’s especially useful for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Now you can restart the Demolition Man mission immediately upon failing it, cutting down on a lot of the frustration. Hopefully, the GTA 5-style control scheme acts as the real difference maker and improves the actual handling of the RC Helicopter.

Playtime

In terms of playtime, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City requires 19 hours to complete the story as per HowLongtoBeat.com. This extends to 27 hours if you play the main story missions and side content but for completionists, it will take 43 hours to accomplish everything. Again, considering the development time and how much there is to do over Grand Theft Auto 3, that’s pretty good.

10.768GB on PS4 and PS5

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is roughly 39 GB in size according to PlayStation Game Size on Twitter. Vice City’s Definitive Edition isn’t the biggest game but it still requires 10.768 GB of installation space.

Story

The story centers around Carl Johnson or CJ, who returns to Los Santos after a five year absence to attend his mother’s funeral. After being accosted by officer Frank Tenpenny of the C.R.A.S.H. unit, CJ reunites with his friends from the Grove Street Families gang. After surviving a drive-by shooting and learning that the Ballas and Vagos have seized most of the territory and power, CJ commits to staying in Los Santos to help rebuild the gang. However, this is only the beginning of a grand saga of conspiracies, betrayals and high-stakes crimes.

Setting

Up till now, previous titles offered cities divided into boroughs or islands, and were fairly reasonable in size. But Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas offered, well, the state of San Andreas. This meant cities like Los Santos, San Fierro and Las Venturas which each unlocked over the course of the story but there were also smaller locations like Red County and Flint County (which make up the countryside). Whetstone is where Mount Chiliad and the logging town of Angel Pine are located while Tierra Robada is a peninsular county with a bayside area. Bone County is where the deserts, and the Sherman Reservoir and Dam are located among other conspicuous sites. In terms of sheer size and scale, this was the largest world in the series till date.

Cast

As CJ (voiced by Chris Bellard), players encounter a fairly large cast of characters. Sean “Sweet” Johnson (played by Faizon Love) is CJ’s brother with whom he has a shaky relationship with; Melvin “Big Smoke” Harris (played by Clifton Powell) who serves as Sweet’s right-hand man; the corrupt Tenpenny (voiced by the impeccable Samuel L. Jackson); and many, many more. Even Ice-T has a fairly important role as rapper Madd Dogg.

Character Customization

For the first time in the series, players can actually influence the appearance and stats of the main character. There’s Respect, Stamina, Muscle and Fat which can be increased or decreased based on one’s actions. Hitting the gym, for example, will increase CJ’s muscles while eating too much periodically increases his weight, resulting in slower movement speed. And while GTA: Vice City had different outfits, San Andreas provides numerous brands with different articles of clothing that can be mixed and matched (along with different tattoos and hairstyles).

Open World Design and Improvements

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas offered a number of different improvements to Rockstar’s open world design when it launched. Pedestrian AI reacts more intelligently now – hitting their vehicles causes them to exit and attack the player. Attacking pedestrians also causes others to run away and there are much more extensive interactions with random folk. Gangs also have a stronger presence, existing as their own entity in the world and attacking or supporting CJ depending on his allegiance.

Swimming and Climbing, 2 Player Co-op

One of the greatest new additions in GTA: San Andreas is – believe it or not – the ability to swim (both Claude and Tommy would slowly die in deep water). CJ could also climb over various walls and fences, which meant the days of trying to find a way around simple obstacles were finally at an end. It’s also the first game in the 3D universe to introduce two-player co-op. Despite some restrictions, it offered some pretty fun ways to cause mayhem with a friend. Whether it’s included in the Definitive Edition or improved is currently unknown.

Side Content

Much has been made about how much side content the trilogy offers, and San Andreas is the most packed of all. Outside of the 100 – yes, 100 – main story missions, you have Asset missions, racing tournaments, stadium events, Schools, the Exports and Imports chain of side missions, challenges, graffiti tags, and much more. Classic activities like taxi driving, paramedic, firefighting and vigilantism return, once again providing rewards for completing their various levels. HowLongtoBeat.com estimates 31 hours for the main story, 46.5 hours for the story and extra content, and a whopping 82 hours to complete everything.

Gang Warfare

Instead of simply having gangs as friends or foes in the world, GTA: San Andreas introduces Gang Warfare for taking over rival gang territory. Each district has a number of territories that must be cleared of rival gang members and will generate money upon capture. Even after a territory has been claimed by the Grove Street Families, opposing gangs can attempt to retake it and it’s up to the player to stop them. Based on CJ’s Respect level, you can recruit up to seven gang members who will accompany you and attack anyone that looks at you funny. Sometimes, they’ll even run off on their own and randomly hijack a vehicle. The AI isn’t necessarily the best but the resulting chaos is great.

Vehicles

There are 212 different vehicles, over double that of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City with various sports cars, SUVs, Lowriders, Sedans, Motorcycles, Industrial vehicles and much more to choose from. There are also a number of boats, helicopters and planes along with RC vehicles and, last but not least, the Jetpack. San Andreas also introduces driveby shooting, which allows for firing a weapon while inside a vehicle, and it’s seeing improvements in the Definitive Edition.

Schools

One of the many “firsts” that GTA: San Andreas introduces are schools where CJ can improve his skills in driving, boating, flying and biking. Each offers a range of lessons and tests to complete along with different medals based on one’s score. Some like Flight School and Driving School must be attended for story progression, though completing everything isn’t required. Various vehicles are doled out as rewards and thanks to the Definitive Edition’s new checkpoint system, which allows for restarting a failed mission immediately, it should be easier to complete some of the more frustrating challenges like Flight School. Hopefully.

Restricted Areas

Restricted areas were introduced in GTA: Vice City, granting a Wanted level in the police station or the bank after a heist. San Andreas expands on these significantly – along with the police impound garage, there are also military bases like Easter Basin Naval Station which grant an immediate five stars upon trespassing (and where fighter jets can be stolen). So if you’re wondering where the “survive for as long as possible in the military base” challenges in GTA 5 came from, it all began in San Andreas.

Assets and Properties

Assets return, once again allowing players to acquire different businesses which generate income on a daily basis. Most of them are unlocked from completing missions though you’ll need to spend money to acquire places like the Verdant Meadows Airstrip. Properties and safe houses are also back with numerous types scattered throughout the state of San Andreas. Some may be free while others require purchasing (and offer different benefits after clearing certain missions). Not all of them have garages but will sometimes spawn vehicles nearby.

Weapons and Combat Improvements

Though it has slightly less melee weapons than Vice City, San Andreas offers 38 weapons in total. This includes classics like the M4, Spaz 12, Tech9, Flamethrower, and Minigun along with new weapons like the Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher and Desert Eagle, not to mention tools like Night Vision, Thermal Vision and Parachutes (which required rethinking the series’ fall damage system). Combat is also heavily revamped over previous games with options like dual wielding firearms, revamped crosshairs which become darker as the enemy’s health decreases, and auto-aim improvements. Again, how the GTA 5 style controls will factor into The Definitive Edition remains to be seen but it’s the best in the 3D trilogy up till this point.

12 Radio Stations

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas also features the most number of radio stations in the series with Playback FM providing classic East Coast Hip Hop like Public Enemy; K-DST offering classic rock tracks like The WHO and Billy Idol; and Radio Los Santos with its West Coast Hip Hop like Dr. Dre, 2Pac and much more. You even have WCTR, a talk radio station with a variety of programs and shows. There are 12 stations in total with one custom station for adding your own songs. While previous titles have  had a custom playlist option, San Andreas offers more options like shuffling, and adding commercials between songs. You can also have your playlist function as a normal radio station.

22.679 GB on PS4 and PS5

PlayStation Game Size on Twitter estimates the total size of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition to be about 39 GB on PS4 and PS5. GTA: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition takes up 22.679 GB, making it the biggest game in the trilogy. Those curious about the general quality of the remaster can also check it out on Xbox Game Pass – it arrives for the service as a standalone release on the same day.

Certain tracks that have been heard in recent leaked gameplay footage haven’t been listed like Sigue Sigue Sputnik’s Love Missile F1-11. Still, there are over 200 songs across 29 radio stations with higher quality audio at 16bit 44 hz along with support for 5.1 Surround Sound.

In the meantime, the full tracklist for all three remasters can be viewed below, helpfully organized by radio station.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is out tomorrow for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. It’s slated to release next year for iOS and Android. Pre-loads are currently available for all consoles but PC players must wait till the game is live to download it. For more details on the biggest changes in the trilogy, head here.

That’s not all though – okayjosh on YouTube also uploaded footage of Grand Theft Auto 3 – The Definitive Edition and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition. Overall, there’s a world of difference from the older games with much better draw distance and improved environmental textures. Even the revamped character models look pretty good and in keeping with the original aesthetic. The new checkpoint system can also be seen in action.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition arrives tomorrow for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. It’s currently available to pre-load on Xbox and PlayStation platforms along with Nintendo Switch while PC players will have to wait until launch to download it. Stay tuned for more details on the title in the coming days.
