News Why Didn't GTA: Liberty City Stories, GTA: Vice City Stories Release on PS4?
Rockstar classics were rated
Sony’s desperately short-lived PS2-to-PS4 programme was strongly supported by Rockstar, and a couple of years ago it looked like it was set to complete its Grand Theft Auto pentalogy by deploying PlayStation Portable ports Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories on Sony’s...

News Yachts Finally Have a Purpose in GTA Online Update
Yachts spree
GTA Online’s luxury yachts have generally been considered a Dock Tease by fans, ever since they were introduced several years ago.
