Liberty City Stories - GTA 3's Second Chance
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- Hey there! It's Doug!
Just when I thought I'd experienced all that the 3D GTA Universe had to offer, I finally tried out Liberty City Stories and had a much better time than I thought I would considering I expected this to be something like a copy and paste of GTA 3. But to my surprise, it was so much more than that, because in my opinion, LCS takes some of the things that made Vice City and San Andreas so great, and it applied them to the world of Liberty City to give GTA 3 the second chance it deserves. And over this video's 17 minutes, I'll tell you how. I hope you enjoy!
Also, I just wanna give a quick shout out to @1DERER1 for allowing me to use his remaster of LCS' theme song in this video. Check it out when you get the chance! • GTA Liberty City Stori...
Happy Saturday ☀️

God the 3D era really had a completely different vibe for every single game, and nailed it every time. How the fuck they revisited the same city, with the same time period (or near enough) and make it feel TOTALLY different is beyond me. The feeling the 3D era gives me is just a warm fuzzy feeling all around tbh
GTA 4 even though it was the first game in the HD rage era, still felt like the characters were cool, the city's atmosphere felt warm and fuzzy too
The GTA Stories games helped me see how much change can occur in a city within so little time.
How can you say GTA III music sucks?
I mean Flashback FM, 80's classics, Game Radio with gangstarap, Kjah with reggae.
GTA III Radio is a figging 00's banger collection
I’ve tried listening to it on multiple occasions and I remember REALLY trying to like Game Radio specifically, but I just can’t bro haha. I’ll tell you right now that I’m a huge rock fan and can enjoy a bit of rap music too, but sadly, GTA 3’s soundtrack just didn’t appeal to my music taste. I’m positive some people love that game’s music, but unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll ever be for one of them lol
@@DougTheDog6I get that bro lol too bad you didn’t like I feel like if the remastered version was an ACTUAL remaster and expanded the radio it would’ve been way better
"MSX FM UP IN YOUR MANOR!"
But fr tho GTA3 radio stations slap.
It has the Scarface oat
III's Flashback , Head, Lips, MSX, Rise are all hard af. Game is good but weakest out of all rap radios in GTAs. They're all good but the tracklists are too short and you get tired of the repeating songs sooo fast. LCS radio is better though. But GTA III has some of my favorite songs in GTA.
Driver is older than GTA. GTA was heavily influenced by the first two driver games
Thanks for the correction. I forget if I said this in the video or not, but I wasn't playing video games yet by the time GTA 3 released (San Andreas was actually the first video game I ever played lol), so couple that with the fact that I didn't do as much research for this video as I typically do for things like this (which I'll absolutely take the fault for), and I'm not too surprised I made a mistake like that. Still though, considering how mainstream Grand Theft Auto was in the early 2000s, I'd still say its influence on the gaming sphere helped forge a path for the other franchises I mentioned
@@DougTheDog6 No problem! Your video was great.
GTA was out in 1997 , driver in 1999
The later driver games started adding guns and such. They're influenced by GTA. GTA had 2 games and an expansion before the first driver released.
The only thing people can mention is GTA going 3D
@@LePetitGarage Gta in 1997 was top-view, as GTA 2, that was released in 1999. The same year when third-person view Driver was released, 2 years before GTA 3
LCS was a game I spent far too much time on as a kid simply because it was a portable game. I got to see everything that happened to the city and why it looks how it does in 3. One mission I could never make it past was killing Vincenzo on the boat while everyone had chainsaws only to realize the revolver one shots the enemies
That mission was so fun, I loved the arcadey feel with the top-down perspective. One of the most unique missions in the whole game lol
That mission was very much fun. It literally gave the vibe of chainsaw massacre
yeah that mission was almost impossible for me as a kid, i remember when i found out about the revolver too and that rush of dopamine when i finally beat it
My dumbass did it with a shotgun.
They kept getting so close! 😂
Wasn’t there also another mission with a chainsaw at one of the warehouses just around the corner from Vincenzo’s as well? Shit was hard because the dude was fast and killed you quick
TBF rockstar has said countless times that III was essentially the practice run to see if a full 3D sandbox could even be done and if people would enjoy it. They mention multiple times that there was no blue print or any other existing game to build on, so it was all just guessing and taking shots in the dark.
That’s exactly my point. GTA 3 was them dipping their toes in the water and seeing what they could do with a 3D open world game, throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. And once they found out what worked and what didn’t, they used that experience to make the best games they could going forward. It’s okay for GTA 3 to not be as good as its successors, because it *was* the blueprint, and without that foundation, we don’t get games like Vice City, San Andreas, LCS, VCS, GTA 4 & 5, Bully, Red Dead 1 and 2, and so on
I've played pretty much ever gta game, but for some reason the nostalgic feeling is the strongest with this one.
Just curious, was this the first GTA game you’ve played or watched someone play? I know I personally feel the most nostalgia for San Andreas, the first game I’ve ever played, and Vice City, which I remember watching my brother play a lot
@@DougTheDog6 I'm pretty sure 3 was my first one. I don't remember whether LCS was a game I played before or after Vice City. I was real young when I played the 3D era games, but maybe I'm not that nostalgic over San Andreas is because I still often play it the most out of any GTA game.
@@LaggySnakeLCS is such a good game. Very nostalgic
@@DougTheDog6gta vc

I couldn't wait for this to come out on PS2, back then it was unbearable just waiting 2 years for a new GTA game. Are you going to cover Vice City Stories and The Ballard of gay Tony
I remember playing lcs on psp along side vcs, the thing I like about it was its mafia theme combined with a Dark story, everyone you meet either dies or disappears from the rest of the game.
I don't know what it is about a good mafia theme that can make any medium of entertainment so compelling! LCS definitely did a way better job at making a good mafia story than GTA 3 ever did, so much so that I'm really thinking about playing it again even though I just beat it not too long ago. Also, you just did a great job at describing GTA 4's story with the whole 'everyone either dies or disappears' thing, which I think is one of the reasons why that game is so good as well
LCS is my favourite GTA game. Not a popular opinion but it’s so good. I can’t think of a part of the game that I didn’t enjoy.
I love the whole dark mafia vibe too it. Certain gta games feel like cartoons
VCS is my favorite, but LCS is the most nostalgic for me since it's the first GTA I had beat, and did a ton of the side activities in.
@MerlautZone vice city stories is good but its hard af I've never been able to complete it
The nostalgia tells me that vice city is better but my heart always holds 3 highest
Both are the nostalgia lol, LCS and VCS blow VC and 3 out of the water. honestly my top 5 GTA games are LCS, VCS, 5, San Andreas, and 4 in that order.
@@coments101 congratulations
@@coments101you smoking funny stuff if you think vcs is better than vice city..hell vcs isn't better than 3
@@ShawnReed-ny1hd Bro what? VCS is crazy good, the radio, gameplay, everything is great. What about VC is better other than the story? 3 is literally worse in every way too.
I loved GTA3, it was incredible for the time it released. Not my favourite but they all are very nostalgic to me.
Gta3 skill issue lol. LCS is underrated though
I was Playing GTA IV recently and actually saw a Pedestrian Hail a cab and it it pulled over and picked them up.
Really? I’ve been playing GTA 4 for over 10 years and I swear I’ve never seen it before, but considering how immersive that game is, it makes sense to miss one of the little details like that lol
I actually really love GTA III because of how different it is. Especially how it looks and plays. It's very arcade-y and "pick up and play". Although I do agree the story is terrible. It was originally gonna have a *way* better story but Rockstar changed a bunch of random shit around and turned it from a genuinely good crime drama into a big joke. Check out GTA Series Videos' video about the GTA III design doc if you haven't already.
I’ll definitely have to check that out! And I know what you mean as far as the arcadey aspect of GTA 3. It’s definitely not a bad game to drop yourself into and just mess around, but as someone who’s main purpose in a video game is usually to beat it, well, let’s just say it wasn’t very enjoyable trying to achieve my main purpose lol
i LOVE your videos because of this ! thanks for bringing my memories back
love yo content, just subbed. Looking forward to your future videos!
Thanks man! I appreciate the love!!
This video was great. Love your comedic approach to the commentary, it kept me laughing all through my lunch break!
Wow, 500 views and 40 likes in just 10 hours. In the past 5 years of making videos, this is by far my best-performing video in such a short amount of time, and I just wanna thank everyone for all the love! It's been a blast getting to read all of your comments throughout my shift at work today, and I'm glad I could finally respond to them now that I'm home haha.
Also, just wanna say real quick that it's gonna be a little while before I'm able to post my next video essay (I've got a video that's very important to me in the works that will be coming out next), but if you'd like to see something similar to this, feel free to check out this video essay I made on Thrillville and Thrillville: Off The Rails back in February! ruclips.net/video/HATfrE-bT1Y/видео.html
Anyway, thanks again for all the love everybody! I hope you all have a great day!
To truly appreciate GTA3, you had to play it when it was released. Playing it now and comparing it to the games that improved upon it, is just not the same and never will be. It's definitely the worst of the 3d GTA's, but I still love going back to it because of the nostalgia. I've been playing GTA since the first one, and it blows my mind how it has been 10 years since GTAV released and the rest of the entire series was released within 12 years. GTA6 better be worth the wait.
That’s exactly my point. I firmly believe that GTA 3 was a great game back when it first came out, but since I’m not lucky enough to have that experience, it’s very hard to find enjoyment out of it because I’d already played San Andreas, GTA 4, and GTA 5 by the time I finally got around to GTA 3
And yeah, it’s insane that we’re officially past 10 years of GTA 5, but I’m 110% confident that when GTA 6 comes out, it will be the absolute best game of all time until we get a GTA 7. Who knows about how Online will be, but single player is gonna be one hell of an experience, and I can’t wait for it
You took the words out of my mouth. I remember being amazed playing GTA 3 as a kid. Ofc I didn’t know what I was doing & couldn’t get complete the game but getting a high wanted level was fun.
I even love other Rockstar games like Bully, Warriors, Manhunt, etc.
As for GTA6 I’m patiently waiting as well. I think GTA online was the worst thing to happen to the series but I’m not mad at it. I just feel like that is a main reason why we don’t have 6 yet
In short: GTA III was amazing for it's time, but has aged horribly.
Also, I have zero hopes for VI. Rockstar has gone full longnose and will no doubt push that EGS score as hard as they can. Hell, I don't even think V was that good, it's the worst 3D/HD entry in the franchise IMHO, and doesn't even have III's excuse of being old and prototypal.
@@DominatorLegend And yet GTA online still has full lobbies 10 years after...
yep, I bought GTAIII in 2002 and it was amazing at the time.
LCS is the one GTA game I've sunk the most hours into on a PSP. A couple things I can note -
On PC, you can look around in GTA 3 with mouselook, even if you are using the lock-on system. The PC games used traditional controls of the mouse to move camera around, but also had manual aim option for all the weapons.
The only thing LCS don't manage to do well with GTA 3's world is the atmosphere. The Silent Hill style fog effects and weather are absent, along with the lighting. But that has more to do with the limitations of the PSP. I wish so badly Rockstar would've released a port of both LCS and VCS on PC to let modders fix them back in the day. But I have given up on Rockstar all together after those god awful "definitive editions" they released. Those were bad enough, but even worse was them outright going to war with modders who spent nearly 20 years fixing stuff in GTA 3, and then delisting the originals to try and force people to buy the crappy remasters.
absolute banger of a video mate, love your essay style and it would be premium to see you cover Vice City Stories.
Was just looking through the comments of this video again and figured I should let you know that I actually went ahead and made that Vice City Stories video. You should check it out if you haven’t seen it yet!
@@DougTheDog6 no worries mate, yeah I checked it out when it came out, always good to see people covering unknown classics
Just finished this game for the first time, really enjoyed it. Back in the day I didn't own a PSP or PS2, just GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas on PC. LCS aged fairly well, but it was quite tough compared to newer games, kept dying a lot :-D
i played the crap out of lcs during the entirety of the last decade and i still do, it has its flaws but i love it (theres also the nostalgia factor)
Thats is one of the best titles ive heard to describe GTA:LCS. Great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. The video is also well made
Thanks a lot man!!
Great video man, fantastic insight into LCS!
Man I had all the important cheat codes literally ingrained in me as a kid. I can't believe I played this game on the PSP. Looking back it was pretty incredible that they could fit such a game into that little thing. Thanks for uploading. PS I can't stand GTA3 either and the first time I played it was on an iPhone 4
GTA lcs was my childhood ps2 game. Also I think the lcs gta has the best theme song.
Honestlyyyy. I don't even have any nostalgia for it, but since I started hearing it while loading up the game for this video, I can't get enough of it!
I remember my first RUclips post aww congrats😊
No way! RUclips algorithms actually work for a change!
That was a very good video to watch. I'm not a very big fan of GTA, but Liberty Story is as good as you describe it. I tried it once through PPSSPP and spent 4 hours playing. Definetly the definitive GTA III experience. Haven't touched it since, but that's just because I'm not that into GTA. The only GTA I've actually beat is Vice City on Xbox, and that's my personal favourite.
Hope your channel grows! Keep up the good work.
I like the idea of "the definitive GTA III experience", because LCS is definitely the true definitive edition of 3 in my opinion
Anyway, thanks a lot man! I put a lot of time into putting this video together, so I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Real
I Believe GTA LCS & VCS Run in the VC Engine, Both explaining why the cars handle better, and why there are bikes.
Lore-Wise by 2001 they banned bikes in Liberty City.
I’m pretty sure they run on the same engine as GTA 3 as well based on AI behavior and the way the protagonists move. I feel like the reason for better handling and the inclusion of bikes more comes down to Rockstar’s ability to tweak and program in new features. And yeah, I heard about the whole bike ban thing, which I thought was a really clever way to explain the lack of them in 3 haha
@@DougTheDog6 Yup, But the engine is up to speculation, unless somebody has a Hex Editor or something.
Yeah that’s just a bs cover did much deeper an darker rabbit hole that’ll never explained.
@@merkcityboy834 Understandable
I remember buying this for PS2 back in the day and finding it alright, my biggest issue with it was the framerate being absolutely abysmal, but later when I used my copy to make an ISO file and played it on PCSX2, it was fantastic! I have it in 4th place on my GTA ranking.
This is the best Liberty city stories review I've ever seen, and I remember not liking gta 3 when I first played it lol
engaging for the algorithm, you're entertaining af
Thank you brother! 🙏🏻
One of favorite GTAs, always liked it more than GTA3, don't get why most prefer GTA 3 over LCS.
I feel like it’s because LCS is looked at as just a PSP port so people don’t wanna give it a try (at least that was my excuse for the longest time), and that’s why I wanted to make this video, because GTA players who’ve avoided it should absolutely give it a chance
@@DougTheDog6its mostly due to it being only on PlayStation hardware. But it deserves more recognition
It was one of my first GTA games along with 3 and SA and VCS... so many memories of msking cheat sheets
A very subtle video explanation! I kinda like Doug to explain every bit and paying his homage as well as showing any lacks of it. You know, sometimes you have to root for the underdog, isn't it?
GTA 3 Rise FM and MSX fucking slapped.
That and gta 3s version of flashback fm. The whole scarface soundtrack which was one of my favorite movies when i first played gta 3
Lips 106
Good stations but the LCS version of these two were better imo
@@SkiiZa.Killah Outside of Rise FM, I do agree. MSX 98 was goated.
@@DarkenedX08 I love House Music ngl and imo the only really memorable track from 3’s Rise FM is Score. I feel like both are the same radio but have very different music genres
Liberty city stories was my into to GTA if I’m not mistaken on the PSP. It could have been vice city stories but either way I played both games about the same time and adore both of these, super nostalgic
Bruh gta 3’s flashback fm was what defined my music tastes. 80s pop songs and a taste for scarface.
I feel the same way about vice city stories and vice city, i feel like vice city was rushed and there was so many missed opportunities to make it better and vcs fixed alot of that but not all like map for example, i wish they added the gator keys to vcs at least.
I actually played LCS on a legit psp back in the day, it took a lot of getting used to since there was no second analog stick to turn the camera around. San Andreas will always be my favorite gta game but theres something about the dark, gloomy and cloudy atmosphere of 3 and LCS
i really loved liberty city stories and vice city stories
two veeery underrated games
I really want to play GTA Liberty City and Vice City stories again. Heck. I wish they'd give us San Andreas stories too.
I will say, being colorblind, the triangles when targeting were much easier to see in LCS for me, I guess green getting darker to black was easier for me to see than green turning to red, maybe that's why they did it.
That's not even something I had considered at all. I never thought about how that could make it easier for people with color blindness like yourself, but still, I wish there could at least be a toggle option
This was the first ever GTA game that I bought & played back when I was 11 years old & it was such an enjoyable game. I’m actually happy I bought this before GTA 3 because it was soooo much better as an introduction to the series.
(GTA 3 is probably the worst money I’ve ever spent on a video game in my life & I probably traded it in for Hitman, I think) 🤣
I just finished this game and found this video by chance. LCS is a great game, also enjoyed VCS
I love this game! I recently got a psp and have been playing through this and im amazed how rockstar managed to make a game like lcs on the psp!
I first found out about GTA LCS on some random internet search when I first played GTA VC and then 3(my friends gave me those games) and I was very upset with GTA 3 since NYC is my most favourite place in the world and the game was too bad, like cars were very unsafe and I felt it will explode on the first crash and also the city was dark and empty and I had this glitch where there was no way to save the game, like even at the safe houses you get the menu but it won't save. But when I Played LCS, on ppsspp around 5 years ago, I absolutely loved how bright it was, the cars looked really good and I loved the designs of the wheels, even though it's difficult playing GTA on a keyboard, I liked it. I love all GTA titles especially vice City, 4 and San Andreas, and they hold an important place in my heart 💜 great video!
Hey man. Loved this vid and I would love to see u talk about GTA Vice City Stories which was the prequel to GTA Vice City and imo its the most criminally underrated GTA Games of all time
I wanna say i've definitely seen pedestrians hauling taxis in GTA IV, but then again, i might be misremembering it. I do recall seeing pedestrians already in cabs
Some other people have pointed out pedestrians hailing cabs in GTA 4, but I swear I’ve never noticed it in my 12 years of playing lol
Sadly LCS is the only GTA on PS2 which don't support analog buttons (missing it especially in cars for throttle control but it might work for brake I think which is really odd), probably because PSP didn't have it. VCS has analog throttle again.
RISE FM HAD THE BEST MIX I HAVE EVER HEARD IN A VIDEO GAME !
As someone who loves rock music and appreciates good rap music, all I can say is that LCS' radio didn't really appeal to me, but everyone has their own tastes in music so I respect your opinion brother!
I definitely understand what you mean . for a disco/house /rap head like my self they implicated lives mixes from Dj clue and rogar Sanchez which is mind blowing to me at the time@@DougTheDog6
Eminem had to slow himself down because they couldn't rap as fast as him.
I was lucky enough to have played GTA III when it came out and it quickly became my favorite game to play until I played GTA SA. Which became my favorite game to play until IV. I really believe comparing it to the installments that came after is not only disingenuous to the game itself, but also to what the game represents. And to be fair you covered that portion of your video. And I guess everything is subjective but when I was a kid in 2001 playing it at my friends house almost daily until my parents got me my own copy, and just seeing how the game was in comparison to the games I was playing at the time (Crash, Tomb Raider, Madden, racing games here and there), it was crazy. Plus, and I know I’m very much in the minority on this take, I very much enjoyed the story. Plus I still listen to Chatterbox FM when I need a laugh 😂. But it’s your opinion and it’s all good. Keep up the good work
Thank you bro, I have to say that you are by far one of the more respectful GTA 3 fans I’ve interacted with in this comments section lol. And I feel you with Chatterbox, that station is hilarious haha
Great video as always doug
Great video. I played LCS a lot on my psp years ago, and was the first GTA I've ever played prior to San Andreas on the PS2.
Question: I haven't played the PS2 version of LCS, would you say its better than the PSP? I would guess yes due to more powerful hardware.
Sadly I can’t really answer that because I’ve never played LCS on the PSP (neither the emulator nor the original hardware), but I can only imagine the PS2 version would be superior due to the better hardware as well as the fact that it released later, which you’d think would give them the opportunity to patch any existing bugs
Psp version is superior ithink
As always, the soundtrack was awesome. And the missions are amazing. Passion of the heist?
Passion of the Heist was a good one haha
did u get past Boomshine blowout took me bout 5days no ckap worth it for a classic tho vice city.
Yeah bro I passed that first try lmao. I get it though, some missions are harder for some people than others like Wrong Side of the Tracks
As someone who has over 20 hours into GTA III exclusively on steam... yeah LCS is better. Shame it wasn't ported to PC
luckily it can be emulated on pc
Where did you "bought" gta lcs?
Let’s just say I bought it from an independent seller on the internet
By the way, have you heard of r/Roms on Reddit? It’s a pretty cool little community for retro gamers 😉
I may agree with most of what you say about GTA 3 (especially with its aiming on consoles, my gosh is will that always be a headache) but I WILL NOT accept you slandering its music! 😤☠️
Also, I'd be really interested in hearing more about what you dislike about GTA 3's story (even in comparison to LCS).
Nice vid. 👍
This was my first GTA game, as well as my first PS2 game. I have so much nostalgia for it. So much so that I went ahead and worked on fixing bugs in the unofficial decompilation project (which sadly is no longer public thanks to R*, I wish more people could experience the game on PC).
I had no idea such a thing existed! Hopefully you guys are able to find a way to publish it someday
GTA 3 was a great game for its time. Had a good storyline based on real life gangs and the theme tune is unforgettable.
Back in elementary school, everyone loved San Andreas, others like vice city, but liberty city stories was my shit. I Had the ps2 port. I really like the strict mafia story.
how do u emulate games i really wanna play some old games but cant
It depends on which console you wanna emulate. If you wanna emulate PS1 games, all you’ve gotta do is install DuckStation and you’re good to go. If it’s GameCube or the Wii, install the Dolphin emulator. Xbox 360, Xenia is the one you’ll need. For the PS2, you’ll need PCSX2, but you’ll also have to acquire a PS2 bios. Once whichever emulator you wanna use is set up, you’ll have to acquire a ROM for the game that you wanna play, but after a bit of tuning, you should be able to play after that! I don’t really know anything about any other emulator since those are the only ones I’ve used, but either way, I’d suggest looking up a tutorial for whichever you choose as it will help you way more than I can lol
Man I loved this game so much as a kid. Game came out when I was in middle school and was my first intro to GTA. I’d like to think owning a PSP and GTA LCS was analogous to owning an N64 and any Mario game… they just went together and it was weird if you didn’t have it. Great soundtrack too, listened to every station multiple times over. Coq Au Vin with Richard Goblin plays in my head on a weekly basis and I’m nearly 30 now…
Would love to see more like this bro
Ngl I thought Liberty City Stories was only released on PSP, and I also confused it with Episodes from Liberty City.
Until recently, I also thought it was a PSP exclusive and that only VCS was ported to PS2. I swear it’s some kind of Mandela Effect lmao
@DougTheDog6 Probably is mate because I definitely remember it only being released on PSP and that's why I never played it
RUclips Recommended
I played this game on all platforms.
Great video bro. Subbed.
A couple of years ago, lcs actually got ported by fans to the pc but take two took them all down, if you can find re lcs beta 6 it's totally playable from start to finish, but moddb only has a re-upload of beta 5 which had a lot of game-breaking bugs still fun to play around with though.
That sounds like Take Two 🙃 but I never knew about that! Hopefully I can find a way to get my hands on beta 6 someday, that sounds awesome!
Keep up the amazing work! I'd love to see a video covering tomb Raider Legend or Underworld
I’ve actually never played a Tomb Raider game believe it or not, but I’d be willing to try it out!
@@DougTheDog6 ayeee hell yea, tomb Raider underworld has some wild ports, most notably the ps2 one
I love LCS, it’s like if 3 and SA had a baby
Amazing video. This game was always described as the crappy psp port of GTA 3. I'm glad you too think that this is an actual improvement to GTA 3. And I love long videos like these. Kinda good for watching while eating something 😂
I feel you bro, I always love to pull up something like Schaffrillas or Scott the Woz while I eat hahaha
How do I download the game for ppsspp? I wanna start emulating games but idk how to do it 😂
I don’t really know much about PPSSPP (I myself played the PS2 version), but I know you can just google it and the first result will be the website to download it (I’d post the link here, but the last time I posted a link on RUclips, I got a community guidelines strikes 💀). Idk if you need a bios for PPSSPP or not, but I do know you’ll need to either upload your own ROM to your computer or obtain a copy of one by whatever means you “legally” can. I’d personally suggest looking up some tutorials for figuring out the emulator, but apart from that, I wish you luck in figuring it out bro!
schlagg was one of the reasons GTA III was so heavily changed in 2001
This is my first GTA game and the first time I discovered open world games. I still remember being absolutely mind blown on how you can just drive around ang punch people as a 12 year old kid.
I love Liberty City Stories, I've never finished because I'm a lazy silly head, maybe this summer I'll do it justice
good video bro keep to up
12:00 I dunno about the GTA3 Radio, Game Radio and Flashback used actual licensed songs: Game Radio has rappers that were from their record label at the time (famously Royce Da 5’9, he’s known for the Bad Meets Evil duo with Eminem) and Flashback contains songs from the 1983 Scarface movie! And if you keep listening to LIPS106 in GTA3, they have the GTA1 theme song in that radio
I’ll be straight up with you, the music in GTA 3 sounds to me like some stuff they came up with in the development studio rather than anything actually licensed. That being said, I know there are a lot of people who really do enjoy GTA 3 and LCS’ music, but it’s just never been for me
That’s a really cool fact about the GTA 1 theme song though, I never knew that!
@@DougTheDog6 you’re actually correct, the majority of LIPS106 is actually recorded by the dev team. But after all that, they at least were able to acquire such rights to more notable music starting with Vice City of course, the ultimate best of 80’s music at the time!
Didn't realize a lot of people hadn't heard of this one. Was born in 1999 and played Vice City a few times in 04ish (not missions just fucking around on my older cousin's PS2), rented Vice City Stories once in about 08, then the first copy i had of any GTA game was LCS toward the end of 08 probably? Got San Andreas then 3 not very long after that. Got a copy of VCS for my PS2 when i was like 11 (2010/2011) or so (already had a PS3 bc RDR was my favorite at the time, still is esp. so after 2, but they didnt have the ports for the 3D ones out yet tho). GTA IV was definitely at the end of its run when i got that copy of VC or VCS it but i got it at a flea market so ofc it didn't work. Loved IV tho, still play it occasionally to this day. Love V too for different reasons but Rockstar's just ran it into the ground at this point. Always found the RDR games more fun/interesting but everyone's got their preference. Gotta say, 2's online mode was disappointing to say the least, they wasted a lot of potential by sinking everything into V even tho it was a way older game. Typed a little much lol. But never realized LCS was that unknown at the time. Makes sense, SA and VCS are way better/kinda overshadowed it. But that was basically my introduction to the GTA Series and Rockstar as a whole. Also played a lot of Bully around the time i was also playing LCS/3/SA a lot, wanna see a sequel of that (or maybe just a similar series not linked to the first one) but also don't want them to prioritize that over/cause delays for GTA 6 and hopefully eventually RDR3. Not gonna lie didn't like LCS much when i had it but can't deny i had a good bit of fun with it seeing as it was my first time having a GTA game i could play whenever. SA was my favorite but still have fond memories of LCS
I played the Re: LCS version of the game and unfortunately didn't finish it
I got LCS for PSP and I liked it so much that I also bought it for PS2, If you like GTA 3, you will really like Liberty City Stories although I wish they could've added more things to it
Graphics are rough on this on my ps2 - especially with my aging eyesight. I"m going to give it another go this week after I get my ps2 to HDMI dongle thing. Thanks for the video!
Gta 3 is the most creepy, gloomy, unforgiving Gta and I love it for that reason, they will never be able to recreate the atmosphere of that game
THIS GUY IS A LEGAND KEEP DOING WHAT UR DOING LOVE THE vid oops caps
i remember hearing alot of indian/arab music in this game
Radio Del Mundo which plays mostly in taxis. Love that station.
I never played the stories games due to only owning an Xbox and PC.
But I am always intrigued by them. And will play them soon via emu
I had both a PS2 and a PSP but I still never really got the chance to play them either when I was younger (apart from the odd time my brother or cousin would bring one of them while visiting), but now that I’ve finished LCS and am currently working towards finishing VCS, I can confidently say they’re both really fun games. I hope you end up enjoying them like I have!
VC & SA features and physics = LCS.
The reason behing the gameplay improvements behing both Vice and Liberty City Stories is that they used the San Andreas version of the RenderWare engine.
I never played Vice or liberty city. Just the Stories games on the psp. Watching this video brings back memories.
Worth noting that a bunch of GTA 3's Music (not all) was still "Custom Made" for the game itself and wasn't licenced... Hell, Rockstar North was still called DMA Design back then even (their logo is in the PS2 start up of the game, I believe they had been rebranded when the PC and eventually Xbox versions released)
Rise/MSX/Game FM have some absolute Bangers that are Licensed, Flashback FM is just the Scarface OST which is funny/cool and Head Radio/Lips 106 is completely Original music made specifically for the game.
To play the devil's advocate, the mobile version of LCS can be decent if you use a Bluetooth controller
I always forget you can actually use controllers on phones lol
And they upscaled the graphics a bit too
Fog effects being better, along with the lighting
my special childhood videogame, spent hours on it. Brings me joy just thinking about me and my grandma playing it, good times. Great video.
its often lags on pcsx yeah I tried that before, yet vice city stories doesnt.
Weirdly enough, I don’t recall any lag on LCS when I played through it, but I noticed some very unpleasant lag spikes on VCS when I played through that one recently (although it was very rare that they popped up)
I love this game it was the first GTA game in played as a kid back on the PSP
As a GTA 3 enjoyer I’ll say Liberty city stories is better than GTA 3 in pretty much every way. I notice most seem to prefer III over LCS nobody can really give me a reason other than “oh it’s just a PSP game” yeah one of the best PSP games that’s more elaborate than the console counterpart
Flashback FM in GTA 3 is god teir music
Doug thanks for letting me lend your Porsche the other day for my date. Love you big dawg keep it up❤
GTA3 was my first PS2 game at a neighbors house and it's the only 3D gta I have on my PS5. 😮
Well put together video, played it when I was young on the psp, had multiplayer with Bluetooth, was sick, used to play it with my mate and brother
Bro that’s awesome. I always wished I had friends to play multiplayer on the PSP or Nintendo DS with 😭
i grew up with liberty city stories over the other gta games and after playing all of them recently this one is still my favorite also one reason i like it is because it has a in game map unlike 3
