More information has emerged today on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the 'next generation' GTA title for the PSP in development by publisher Rockstar Games. 2 whole new screenshots along information on the cars and the control system has been revealed in a preview published in the UK Official Playstation Magazine. Now not all of this is completely new, as some of it would have been covered in Gamepro's preview, but some of it is:

Screen1  Screen2

  • Popular cars the Phoenix and Stinger make a return to Vice City, as seen in the screenshots.
  • Victor and Lance have grown up poor, and you start off in a trailer park that's brand new to Vice City.
  • There's a whole new cast of characters, as well as some characters from Vice City.
  • As said before, not only is the city bigger, it's more detailed.
  • Buildings look cleaner, signs are at a much higher resolution, and the palm trees look better.
  • Brand new pedestrians, and groups of the same type appear less together thanks to a reduction on clumping.
  • Missions are much more varied than previous GTA's.
  • Water effects have been improved, with a ''choppy-looking surface'' and weather affecting vehicle handling and swimming.
  • Helicopters control smoothly
  • Rockstar Leeds has been listening to your thoughts on Liberty City Stories, like controlling issues, swimming and flying etc.
  • As you probably know, the biker gang makes a return to Vice City. But, according to this article Big Mitch Baker will be the leader again. So expect to see him in the game!
  • In one screenshot we see a silenced SMG.
  • Police troops parasail down in order to 'kick your ass' in Mission 4 titled "Tune in, Bug Out". In this mission you have to buy a rocket launcher and take out police receivers across town, involving car sections, helicopter flights and rooftop battles. All the stuff we love about GTA!

sorry im ment to 44 instead of 41 btw to Patrick Bateman HellGuard99 is right pirating games is worng i mean this is a job people do. look at it this way someone is selling oranges on the street to make money and you just run up to him and steal some of his oranges, He's a person trying to make a living and you come up to him and steal it from him? thats wrong man. Though homebrew is awsome and i mean i Pirate games and music like anybody else but later on i will buy the albums i stole and games because getting the cases feels better than just getting off the internet.

The scans only hint towards retaining the Vice City soundtrack. I want everything on there (and I realise the 1.8gb limitation) or I'm not interested in another Rockstar cash cow.

 » Amazing...

This game will be truely amazing. I hope no rips of this game EVER come out, becaues this game is simply the reason why half the world has their PSPs. And, it is the reason why Rockstar, will be, and is, my favorite game developer.

I hope that rockstar leeds adds in an easier way to get our music into the game, reading mp3's from the memory stick perhaps?

DEVHOOK AND BOOSTER rulez the PSP hax0r scene 4 LIFE!

 » WTF ???

we shud see the things from San Andreas. Clothes Shops, barber shops, mroe realistic restaurants, Vehicle skills, weapon skills, parachutes, jetpacks, planes (not Dodo's or helicopters). Not done, gyms, CLIMBING a 3 ft wall for god's sakes !!!!! If all of the above arent in the game, it proves that San Andreas is and forever will be(after the disapointment of GTA:LCS, Rockstar isn't making big efforts for the 50 $ games) the best GTA ever. if it's too big for 1.8 gB, it aint for the PS2 DVD's so if they make one for the ps2, it shouldnt be as sucky as the PSP's

ever notice how only the black guys in all the gta's can swim? hmm

 » if we dont buy legit games...

If we dont buy legit games, even in ebau where they are dirty cheap like $25 still unfold, devs will get fired, companies close and guess what? no more games for PSP, it happens when it was Nokia N.Gage where pirac was run crazy. At least if you like some games buy it and show respect for 2 years of development in some games...

 » I CALL NO RIPPING GTA VCS

it takes those coders who work for Rockstar way to much time to make that game not to get any thing out of it. If people don't buy this game you won't see GTA SANADREAS!

   by simon (Unregistered) - 2006-08-06
 » bring it on

This game is gonna be ace! You can finally fly without going through a stupid menu on past firmwares. And swim!! They said Vice City Is the best GTA game...not for long!!

 » No you suck
