Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition
Sorti le 11 novembre 2021, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition propose une version remastérisée du classique de Rockstar Games, adaptée par Grove Street Games sous Unreal Engine 4. L'édition est publiée par Rockstar Games et Netflix, et se trouve accessible sur un large éventail de supports, allant du PC (Microsoft Windows) aux consoles de salon actuelles et précédentes — PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch — ainsi que sur mobile via Android et iOS. Sur ordinateur, le titre nécessite le lanceur Rockstar Games Launcher et est affiché au prix de 59,99 euros.
Le jeu replonge le joueur dans les années 1980, au cœur de la ville tropicale et néon de Vice City, pour y suivre l'ascension criminelle de Tommy Vercetti, une intrigue marquée par la trahison et la vengeance. Cette version définitive entend moderniser l'expérience originelle en apportant de nombreuses améliorations techniques : un nouvel éclairage, des environnements optimisés, des textures en haute résolution, une distance d'affichage accrue, ainsi que des commandes et un système de visée revisités à la manière de Grand Theft Auto V.
Du côté de l'accueil, la presse et les joueurs offrent un panorama contrasté, reflété par une note agrégée de 70,08. TouchArcade considère cet opus comme un argument majeur pour l'initiative jeux de Netflix, tandis que GamingonPhone y voit un témoignage intemporel de l'impact culturel de la franchise. Parmi les retours joueurs, certains saluent une redécouverte plaisante, supérieure au remaster de GTA III, portée par une vague de nostalgie et des graphismes jugés excellents. D'autres en revanche regrettent la conservation de mécaniques jugées fastidieuses, comme l'obligation d'acheter l'ensemble des actifs et entreprises, qui freinerait la progression.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« GTA: Vice City – Definitive is worth buying, but I think this is the first actual killer app Netflix has to get people onboard its games initiative. Having the original GTA: Vice City would have been enough, but this release is actually better than the PC and console versions in almost every way. I don’t even think I’ll go back to those versions without the Classic Lighting option. The original game is a timeless classic, and my favorite GTA game, so I’m glad we now have a great version of the remake on mobile alongside the original which is still available. »
« Grand Theft Auto: Vice City stands as a timeless testament to the cultural impact and immersive storytelling capabilities of the GTA franchise. The game's retro graphics, though dated by modern standards, contribute to its nostalgic charm. »

« An interesting adventure, a noticeable leap compared to the last part. Great graphics, interesting gameplay. Classic. I really liked this novelty. I recommend. »
« Dropped this game down to a seven after reaching the part where you have to buy all assets and businesses. Why would you ever add this in a game, it hinders your progress and forces you to do quests that could easily be end game, Why Rockstar isn't in my top 10 developers, every game they do something that stops progress and wastes time. Being complete honest, game is good, but it seems to follow the safe route like most GTA games except GTA 4. Vice city is very fun but it follows the three-phase plan Rockstar can't get away from in regard to GTA's. Phase 1: get familiar with mission givers, Phase 2: throw a bunch of quests and mission givers towards the player character until they get caught up. Phase 3: kill the main antagonist or go on a extravagant heist to end the game. Otherwise, The combat is fun, story is classic, and the movement is refined in this edition. Only reason I can't rate any or most GTA above an 8 is because, while Rockstar is great with stories they can't not play it safe with their story phasing. Vice city falls into this "status qou" scenario. »
« Review de quem nunca jogou o jogo original. Este jogo por ser lançado após o GTA 3 foi uma boa evolução, mapa melhor trabalhado, história melhor trabalhada, personagens melhores trabalhados. O gráfico do definitive edition combinou com a cidade de Vice City. A história me agradou bastante, mas achei o final muito precário, talvez poderia ter sido maior. Foi o único dos 3 jogos que não teve bugs que atrapalham. De todos jogos do remaster, esse no geral foi o que mais me agradou. »
