Pedal to the Metalhead: Why GTA Vice City Should Influence GTA 6
š® Ah, GTA: Vice City. A game thatās been etched into my brain for the past 22 years. From the iconic line āThatās not vodka, thatās boomshine!ā to the slurred Scots drawl, itās a masterpiece that still holds a special place in my heart. And as I revisit this gem on my old PS2, I canāt help but dream of GTA 6 capturing a touch of Vice Cityās garish charm when we return to Tommy Vercettiās reworked stomping ground in 2025. But why, you ask? Let me break it down for you.
The Legendary Mission That Stands Out
If your memory is a bit hazy, let me jog it for you. Picture this: Scottish metal band Love Fist recruits Tommy to escort them to their gig. Sounds simple, right? Well, not quite. Turns out, thereās a psycho on the loose who has rigged the car to explode if it drops below a certain speed. šš„ A detonator meter starts filling up, and itās your job to maintain the speed while avoiding crashing into other cars. As if that wasnāt enough, the dialogues exchanged between the Love Fist members are pure comedic gold, leaving you in stitches. š¤£
The Bomb Defusal Comedy Show
Assuming you manage to keep the car from blowing up, youāre treated to a hilarious back-and-forth as the half-drunk metallers ponder over how to defuse the bomb. āWeāre all gonnae die,ā one of them calmly predicts, while another contemplates getting drunk. Eventually, Tommy saves the day by pointing out the green wire that needs to be pulled. And just like that, you can head to the venue with the band chanting āLOVE FISTā in your ear. š¤šø
The Nostalgic Joy of Replay
Replaying this mission in 2024 was an exhilarating experience, despite the clunky controls on the original PS2 hardware. It made me appreciate Rockstar at their finest, embracing the pure chaos that defines GTA Vice City. And thatās exactly what Iām hoping for in GTA 6. I long for another game that embraces the slightly cheesy, lighter-hearted side of the fictional city. Some may argue for a darker, more mature theme, but for me, Vice City is all about the vibrant, wacky experience ā minus any questionable āgroupies to abuseā mentions. Thank you, but no thank you, Love Fist. š āāļø

Everyone has their preferences, but hereās hoping for a touch of nostalgia and wackiness in GTA 6.
Q: What can we expect from GTA 6 based on the released trailer? A: The only trailer weāve seen for GTA 6 so far hints at a new yet familiar side to Vice City.
