Less bloat
Still I could cruise for hours listening to 80s music without getting bored.
Crazy to think that we called this a big map, but we now know every inch of the GTA5 map
Proof size doesnt matter
Felt bigger when you had to wait FOREVER for each island to load when you went back and forth.
nice and cozy. i knew this map better than future bigger maps.
Wow, saw a similar picture of san andreas and the map wasn’t that small but it looked way smaller than it felt in game.
Except this isn’t the vice city map, it’s a recreation in another game with different scale. No vice city wasn’t massive but it wasn’t as tiny as this image makes it out to be
Looks like Cities skyline
Still big enough for me to be unable to break every window in the shopping mall and get to the mansion on time!
Still the best GTA.
Small but nice , The vibrant of Vice City is really cool.
People need to realize big does not equal good. Look at any Yakuza game where the map is literally a God damn city block and it feels huge
The best part of Rockstar games like this are the attention to detail.
Back then there was no such thing as riding a motorcycle in a car game. You bought a car game? You play a CAR game. Aircraft? Get the fuck out. You bought a car game you’re going to stay in that car and drive around and do EVERYTHING in a car (i.e. Crazy Taxi). Not GTA though.
*My experience playing Vice City:*
What are you crazy?? **There are motorcycles now??**.
Oh sweet, I can shoot with one hand and drive with the other. Awesome, I can do a wheelie and see how long I can balance on it!
Wait… there’s a PLANE in this game? AND a helicopter!??
HOLY SHIT THE HELICOPTER SHOOTS MISSILES!!
(People really need to understand that era of gaming. Just having a literal radio in your car in GTA 3 where you can change the stations and hear funny commercials was **life-changing** level of immersion)
Like, that’s why games were awesome back then. It wasn’t so much the graphics but having new things you could **DO** in a game.
Just think of all the basic shit you can do in games today: Shooting out the windshield? Getting into a car from either side of the vehicle? Hitching a trailer to a rig? Swimming (in later GTA games)…
This was all NEW shit. Mind-blowingly incredible.
The reason we all loved this map was because there simply WASN’T a game out where you could just drive around a map. At all. Period. Then adding all the guns and missions and easter eggs? It was a legendary game.
its a similar thing with morrowind, its so tiny, but compaired to the later games, the game has so little wasted space, that it feels so big…
wasted space is an issue in modern videogame maps, and nobody is saying anything about it…
Àgain, this is a sims 2 recreation of the map, not the actual map from gta.
That’s a modded Sims map. If you compare it to the actual VC map, you’ll notice that around half the roads are missing and the whole map has been heavily shrunk.
That’s not the Vice City map. It’s a recreation made in the Sims.
This is not GTA, just so everyone knows.
Felt bigger when it was the real map.
That is not vice city that’s a copy of it
Its so small i thought it was my dick
If today they were to do a game with a map that small I fully expect to have access to every single building/rooms on the map.
And still you had a loading screen when crossing the estates bridges.
Given that it came out 2 years after GTA3 and a year and a half before San Andreas, the Rockstar team achieved a hell of a lot in those couple of years.
I could never get over the chromo filter over everything. The blur effect gave me headaches within like … 3 minutes.
