GTA: Liberty City Stories Playable on PS Vita Next Week


Sony have confirmed that GTA: Liberty City Stories will be playable on PS Vita next week, more details inside...........

An interesting tidbit of news was revealed by The Official PlayStation Blogcast, and it has to do with one of the most commercially successful PlayStation Portable games ever released: Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

There are plenty of PSP games incompatible with the PlayStation Vita, and Liberty City Stories is one of them. But no more! When the PlayStation Store updates on Tuesday, July 17th, Liberty City Stories will be compatible with your Vita.

While this isn’t an updated version of the game per se, and doesn’t include things like Trophies, you will be able to download the game off of the PS Store directly to your Vita if you’re looking for something to play during what seems to be a perpetual lull in new Vita releases.

Let us know if you will download the game in the comments below!

The Vita needs its own GTA not a PSP port! But good looking out Snake. And this is why this is my favorite site!

I went on FB and this was at the top of my page for some reason, creepiest coincidence ever. I think the gaming gods were talking to me, I will definatley download this classic title for my Vita.

It's nice that they (Sony) are looking to get these classic games out for the VITA.  I really don't know what the big deal is for the PSOne Classic support is...there aren't really any games that I want to play from PSOne to my VITA. But the GTA games are my FAVS!  YES, Definately DLing this one!

You can (at least in germany) buy liberty city stories and vice city stories if you go on your vita and search gta in the store. You wont find it by browsing throught the games though

AngelMass said...

This is good but seriously, what we need is a original GTA game for VITA

aj8435 said...

Can't you just download the GTA stories games to your PS3 then transfer them to the vita? I can see this being big news for non PS3 owners but the majority of people who have a vita also own a PS3 so I really don't see the big deal. Now give me an HD version or dual analog support (or both) and that would be newsworthy!

The ps vita as supported this game since March, I already have it on my vita along with GTA Vice City Stories and Chinatown Wars, so yeah its already supported and so are all the other PSP gta games

If it's under 20 bucks, I'll buy it, if it's not I won't.

ive had liberty city stories on my vita for months - just downloaded it from the store .

blackSun said...

That's nice, I can now download it directly to my Vita and I hope for all psp games too like MGS pw

A port..... C'mon Rockstar! We need a Vita Exclusive GTA! I will get this if it's priced decent. But I want a game to harness the Vitas power. Not a port

Yossi said...

I will download the game for sure! I'd like to see a trailer for the game if it's possible.

Whether or not Sony choose to give this classic title the 'revamp' iit deserves, I think it is a step in the right direction. It's stable proof that Sony are not dormant and are flexible with the ideal of expanding their gaming library for this neglected handheld. Besides, what smash-happy kid can say "no" to a little Liberty City carnage?

dan said...

Ive downloaded some psp games for my vita but at the end of the day i dont wanna keep doing that or i may as well have just kept the psp!!!!! We need some better vita games!

Guest said...

seriously wtf "a port"? wtf do you mean "a port"? its a psp game released on ps vita store not a port 

B Fizzle said...

It was not originally designed for the Vita. Therefore it's a port.

B Fizzle said...

All I was saying is that I want a vita exclusive designed around the vitas controls and capabilities. That is all.

Jmslovatt said...

A port is when a piece of software is rewritten for a different piece of hardware. The vita is able to emulate the psp kernel to play psp games. This is therefore an emulated game, not a port. No porting here whatsoever

Lol said...

yes, I've actually been playing it for the last 2 months lol, both GTA games are playable this way.

HE MAN said...

What? I've had GTA:LCS and GTA:VCS on my Vita the first day it was released 2-22-12. Transferred them over from my PS3... they've always worked and ran well.

Lol said...

I think its $19.99, don't quote me on that though.
