GTA, GTA II, and SF: Alpha coming to PSN?

Posted on February 13th, 2008 at 12:37 EDT

For months now users have been begging for a truly great title to be brought to the PlayStation Network from the original PlayStation. Even though we’ve been supplied with Crash Bandicoot and Jet Moto, it never seemed to be enough to hold us over. We were always asking for the bigger and better title. Well, we think Sony may have heard us all.

Instead of lining up just one solid title, Sony has seemingly given the Official PlayStation Magazine there of them. According to their latest issue, Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto II, and Street Fighter Alpha should all be making their appearance for download on the PSN. These two franchises have been key cornerstones for the PlayStation brand and it only makes sense that they would eventually find themselves on the downloadable side of things.

As most of us know the original over-the-top GTA games were what gave Rockstar their huge success. For the younger crowd who haven’t yet had the chance to experience these titles, you’re in for a surprise. They’re nothing like San Andreas or Vice City, they’re unique to themselves and beyond respectable. So for everyone out there waiting for GTA IV, maybe we can spend that time playing the founding father of the franchise before release.

Official release dates haven’t been given, but we’ll keep you posted on when they are.

Sounds great, i really want to get a ps1 game to play while at home or on the move (ps3,psp). but i have yet to see one which really makes me want it. GTA would be an instant buy for me, although i have no idea which one i should get. (if not both)

HHmmm people on here admitting to owning GTA game at the age of eight. No wonder this world is full of ASBO hoody W**kers, mind you if you get parents without any morals what do you expect.
