"Xbox is'nt getting GTA."

We are getting "Vice City" instead :P

(taken from IGN)

"July 15, 2003 - Sources report that Rockstar's mega-money maker Grand Theft Auto: Vice City will be coming to the Xbox, possibly as soon as this holiday season.
As many insiders know, the Grand Theft Auto series is supposed to be PlayStation 2 console exclusive, however sources reveal that Rockstar is circumventing the agreement by stripping the Xbox version of the title Grand Theft Auto, and simply repackaging the game as Vice City.

Back in May, Take Two's CEO Jeffrey Lapin spoke about a major Rockstar title in development for the Xbox during the company's quarterly conference call with analysts. "We said that there will be an Xbox SKU from Rockstar in the first quarter of the fiscal year 2004 [Nov. to Jan.]," Lapin said, "but we're not going to comment on what it is at this point." It now looks like Vice City is that game.

Vice City's gameplay will be identical to the PC version that recently shipped, and might also include additional features like custom soundtracks and downloadable content."

Clever stuff.

I wonder if they would be able to get GTA3 ported over as well? They could just rename it 'Libery City'. For me that would mean I no longer need to keep my PS2.

Since getting my new PC I've played Vice city loads, sure it's no Half Life 2 or Halo 2 graphically, but it works to create an 80's feel to the game, and it's FUN :)

I've played Vice City for 10+ hours on a mates PS2 I borrowed for a night, and have only done a few missions.
Its addictive, fun, but the graphics are disgusting...
I swear even the PS2 could have handled better graphics than that (Or maybe not?)... So if they arent improved for the Xbox version I will not be buying it.

I'd proably end up with Vice City on the Xbox.

I could even use the GTA Vice City soundtrack currently on my Xbox instead of that terrible ingame music :D
