Why play GTA Vice City on PC, when a wireless router works tooMar 4, 2024 - PCGamesNThe endless creativity on show from the hacking and modding community never fails to impress. This time, we've got GTA Vice City being played on a modded TP-Link wireless router... Just the way that Rockstar intended. As one of the best PC games ever made, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City saw its popularity surge recently as it was rumored to be the setting for GTA 6, alas, this turned out to not be the case.

No, this isn’t satire. This project was apparently something Rockstar North’s developers worked on as a bit of a change of pace in between putting out the equally beloved Vice City and GTA San Andreas in the early 2000s. This is according to Dutch developer Obbe Vermeij, who served as the studio’s Technical Director between 1995 and 2009 and has recently decided to start a blog discussing what he worked on during his time in the role. In one of the entries he’s posted so far, Vermeij delves into some games that never ended up actually making it onto shelves, with one of these being that zombie game, which was given the working title “Z”.

Few names are as industry-defining as the Grand Theft Auto series, so it's no surprise that we're all eagerly waiting to see exactly what Rockstar Games has in store for us next. But before the success of GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Bully, it was the trilogy of GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas that truly elevated the company to, well, rockstar levels within the game industry, and if you've never experienced them yourself or simply fancy revisiting the classics, a new Steam sale is here to make it cheaper.

From the off, it's worth noting that there will be some notable omissions. Some artists – likely those who's licenses are tied up in rights issues – won't be returning to the games. Despite the soundtrack boasting over 200 songs across 29 radio stations, singers like Ozzy Osbourne, Kate Bush and Michael Jackson have all seen their songs removed from the games. That's the downside. The upside is that, in addition to higher quality audio at 16bit 44hrz for all the source music from the stations, you will also be able to experience the game in 5.1 Surround Sound – so if you ever wanted to race in the destruction derby in Vice City whilst listening to 2 Minutes to Midnight swaddle you with its chugging riffs, you're going to be happy with this.

Filed in a California court yesterday (September 2), the complaint alleges that the group of GTA fans willfully and deliberately distributed "public infringing source code" they knew they didn't have the necessary rights to copy, adapt, or distribute, and did so knowing that it "constitutes copyright infringement". "Defendants' source code projects, known as re3 and reVC, purport to have created a set of software files (which defendants claim they 'reverse engineered' from the original game software) that allow members of the public to play the games on various hardware devices, but with so-called 'enhancements' and 'modifications' added by defendants," the lawsuitt states. "Perhaps most notably, defendants claim that their derivative GTA source code enables players to install and run the games on multiple game platforms, including those on which the games never have been released, such as the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo Switch."
