GTA:VCS


Well, blame the E3 week. News is coming in thick and fast! We've just received the official Press Release for GTA: Vice City Stories.

Rockstar Games,  is proud to announce Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Developed by Rockstar Leeds in conjunction with series creators Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories will be available exclusively on the PSP system in North America on October 17th, 2006 and Europe on October 20th, 2006.

"The success of Liberty City Stories on the PSP system was nothing short of spectacular," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games and Executive Producer. "The incredible PSP system technology allowed us to do things we never thought possible on a handheld system and we are excited to once again give our audience a fresh experience in one of their favorite locales in the Grand Theft Auto series, Vice City. With Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories we look to once again smash expectations of portable gaming, bringing an all new story and exciting new gameplay elements to this classic setting."

"Our collaboration with Rockstar Leeds has been a tremendous experience," said Leslie Benzies, President of Rockstar North. "Together we have been able to create uncompromising experiences on the PSP system that not only stay true to our initial vision for the series but that surpasses our own goals of what could be done on a handheld. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories will thrill longtime fans and excite new PSP system gamers like never before."

"We are proud of what we were able to achieve with Rockstar North on Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories," said Gordon Hall, President of Rockstar Leeds. "By staying true to the high standards of the series and surpassing fans' expectations for a Grand Theft Auto title on a portable machine we feel confident that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories will redefine what handheld gaming is capable of with the most intense PSP system experience yet."

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is a new game in the Grand Theft Auto series with an entirely new storyline, new missions and gameplay that brings an unprecedented experience to mobile gaming. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories features the interactive, open environment of Vice City with professional voice talent, a diverse soundtrack and high production values that have become trademarks of this landmark series.

From the looks of the website, pre-orders might have already started, or might start pretty soon. So what are you waiting for? Go pre-order GTA: Vice City Stories now!

# guys...RaiderX 2006-05-10 11:49
just cuz its another GTA game, doesnt mean its gonna have the same exploit. The game is entirely different code. Its probably not gonna have any kind of exploit in it, possible, but has nothing to do with the code form LCS.



Ill buy this, but I wish we coudl get a BRAND NEW city for our PSPs instead of these rehashes, but I liked Vice City, Miami is my home town! VCS will probably be very good

# not trueRaiderX 2006-05-10 11:55
was GTA LCS not fun b4 the cheat device came out? no, it was still fun, the cheat device just made it better.



Oh and hopefully theyll put in the custom tracks option again, but MAKE IT PLAY MP3s FROM THE MUSIC FOLDER INSTEAD OF THOSE GAY CONVERTED FILES!!

Reply
 

 
# yeah i know...Guest 2006-05-10 11:55
To RaiderX, yes your probably right, and I'll get this game regardless, but its just a cool thought. Especially if Rockstar really did have control enough to allow homebrew, just to show that they are true gansta!



Also RaiderX, what happened to AOE? I'm despiratly waiting for this.

# Bad newsGuest 2006-05-10 12:00
Well I asked a worker of rockstar north about it ( I knew him from E3 ) and he said to me personally that there will not be another exploit and that sony made it clear but he told me to expect something "controversial" , he cannot assure me 100% that something "controversial" will be in the game but he said they are thinking of sneaking something in to get publicity for the game.



This above is no true so rockstar cannot sue me for revealing any game information , everyone take this as an opinion.

If Edison Carter didn't make CheatDevice for LCS, my UMD would've been ebay's months ago. Also, it gave homebrew a lot of extra life with the exploit.

# *****tyGuest 2006-05-10 12:23
this is so *****ty how bout making an original game ROCKSTAR instead of shrinking a previous game which requires no work anymore (they learned how to with LCS) and changing the plot. this is so stupid and it will still sell well on the PSP.stupid stupid stupid

# pspGuest 2006-05-10 13:34
dont forget that the selling numbers of gta vice city will be much much higher if there will be an vice city eloader

so the homebrew can contineu



a lot of people wont buy it couse they now gta 3, vice, san, and now the whole serie again on psp thats lame i can dream gta i have the pc serie i have the ps2 serie i played the psp version for 14 procent, and never did a mission again only thing i,m doing in gta is flying arround on a motorbike with the cheat trainer, and loading eloader



so i guess a lot of people are tired of the gta 3 series too and are only interreseting for a new gta when there are nice options on it like an eboat loader or finally maybe internet wifi play instead of stupid adhoc play, someone ever gather arround 4 friends with all a psp and all a copy of gta ?? i even dont got 2 friends that also got a psp





so that would be also a interresting option for rockstar to consider

you are a f'n moron. rot in hell sh*t head. fanjita does NOT know anyone at GTA in order to get a f'n exploit. EDISON CARTER found the original exploit and fanjita and ditlew expanded upon it. god i hate these f'n noobz that make up this dumb sh*t and want everyone to believe it so they can be cool. fricken 10 year old kids.

# Do not expect credit!!Guest 2006-05-10 14:07
Many times I have been the first to email Pspupdates with new information and I noticed that I was never the one given credit but surprisingly oh so surprisingly credit was always given to someone they knew. Now I no longer bother letting them know of any information because they don't deserve it. At least other sites give credit where it is due instead of being bias. Maybe that is why they are late with news when compared to many other sites.

# suckzGuest 2006-05-11 06:47
this really sucks i spent $100 on 2 copies of gta liberty city stories to play with my little brother and now the same for vice city, Hell naw



i own gta 3, vice , san an , liberty stories and i felt really cheated for $50 buying a game i already own on the ps2 they should do something where if you send them all the game covers from 3 to now in a letter they give you a $150 rebate for being soo phucking loyal to them



their getting greedy and im looking forward to the next gta after 4 cause since its gonna come out on the ps3 and x360 its probrably gonna be stripped down to a chitty city all small to fit on a 9 gig disk and worse graphics cause the x60 has less than half as powerful hardware



exclusive ps3 to the limit gta will be amazing x360 is like a suped up computer from 2 or 3 years ago ps3 is the future

I was really excited to see another gta game coming to psp untill i realized that most probably it will come with a firmware update.... Sony knows how high demand will be for this game, and im pretty sure that we'll have to update at least to firmware 2.7 to play it... Ill think twice about putting this game in my psp if I have to update my firmware and lose homebrew capability...gta vcs or tons of homebrew... its gonna be a tuff decision

i really think this game is gonna be hot but i think they really otta let you fly planes and helicopters. in liberty city stories for my psp, it was a good game but i think it was too short. in vice city stories they need to put some of the features san andreas had. they need to add helicopters flying cars parashoots, jetpacks, and other stuff. they also need to make the area a little bigger with highways or something. im gonna look forward to this new Gta for psp. for all the people with updates below 2.7, number 74 may be right. one
