Thanks for posting this Tyla, we already had a topic though which you've reminded me about. I've now pinned it, see it here.

Posting fake screenshots is something normally limited to times of slow news, but this fake box art for Grand Theft Auto IV, made by SlimTrashman, is so good even sites like IGN decided to post it. Although made 3 weeks ago, it wasn't until QJ posted it this weekend more or less thinking it was real that it became big news on gaming sites. Others realised it was fake, and earlier today QJ posted again, confirming what everyone already knew. The box art itself is shown below, along with the Xbox 360 version. You can read more about how Slim made these by visiting his DeviantArt page, where he claims it took him between 6 - 7 hours to complete. But then it is probably the best fake box art you'll ever see.

Bear in mind it may only be something fairly minor. We don't know anything it... just because it says "exclusive" doesn't mean there's some big new features

*UPDATE*: We have now found out that the new content will be: new side missions, stunt jumps, races and jobs - this according to popular Swiss retailer Ex Libris (in German and French). (Thanks Adriaan) An interesting discovery recently made by Italian fansite GTA-Series suggests that the PlayStation 2 version of Vice City Stories may feature some exclusive content, not seen in the PSP version. Not all of Take2's localised websites have been updated with this information yet, but the Italian mirror has (here). The first point of interest is that it states the PS2 port features various graphical enhancements - these will probably be in the way of increased draw distance and such. The more interesting point is the mention of exclusive content. In Italian "Numerosi i contenuti inediti, esclusivi di questa versione per PlayStation 2." - which roughly translates to new content, exclusive to this version for PlayStation 2.

I used to play this many years ago. I stopped playing when Runescape 2 came into beta, that was years ago too, so I don't know if it's improved or not since then.

Yummy

Umm... mate, you really need to read the TITLE and CONTENT of this ARTICLE. The keywords are: VICE, CITY, STORIES and PS2. If you're referring to Charger's post, then I think it's clear he has posted in the wrong topic. Though I can't figure out where he meant to post that anyway. :/

Yeah, but remember the type of people, well, majority who do this I'd imagine aren't tech-minded and wouldn't know they could do that. That's how mobile ringtone/pics/games businesses are still in business

Rockstar have updated the official site for Vice City Stories recently with a small but surprising piece of news regarding mobile phone content now available for your cellular device. A mobile site has now been set up where you can purchase a variety of Vice City Stories artwork to adorn your phone's background with, as well as a few sound clips from the game, including the theme tune. All the items are priced between $1.99 and $2.99, and are unfortunately for those who are interested, only available to those of you living in America. For those of you who don't want to shell out any money, or who don't live in America, then we can offer you the GTA3 Pager beep as a ringtone. A nice bit of nostalgia for you there.

This is a bug which ONLY happens on Internet Explorer 6. It is completely random as well, and we've no idea how to fix it. A short term fix for yourself would be to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7, or use a far more secure and efficient browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Opera

Fastest my 1mb has ever been

roffle I was just about to post a FAIL image after seeing gta-connor's post simply because he used the attachment feature instead of linking it from somewhere and it's kinda small now and it's just from owned.com anyway not a proper meme.... wow I should breathe.

gta-connor you have a pretty decent connection there, and good to see you got your full speed back Jared. Upload speed looks a bit poor, but then again you're about 600 miles from the nearest test server so maybe that's why. We've ordered a better broadband package finally, "up to 8mb" from BT. It's called up to 8mb because it depends on your exchange as to what speed you can actually get from the line. We're supposedly able to get around 6mb which would be awesome, the full 8 would just be even better though. 12th February is when we get migrated. Then it apparently takes 10 days before you can get full speed, so I'll try and post speed tests here everyday and we'll see how it goes

The 4th one looks really bad, but the rest are all right. Experiment with different fonts though, and add a bit of stroke to them.

This isn't a big RP'ing forum though, to be honest not many GTA forums are. Unless you've come from GTAWH in which case RP'ing is fairly popular there for some reason. Strange considering RP games in real life are a whole world away from GTA, it's a bit of a clash of interests. I think our RP forum is just enough on it's own, we can't warrant multiple subforums with little interest in them. The RP and Warzone forum has several pinned topics with guidelines etc, there are also two collaborative RP threads you can read. But feel free to start your own. I'm not an RP'er myself so I have nothing to do with the RP rules, but if you're experienced feel free to write some yourself because I believe all the people who wrote the currently pinned topics are gone now.

Take Two have (finally) published a press release announcing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories for the PlayStation 2. A move which ends months of speculation from fans. As far as release dates go, Rockstar have said "the title will be available in North America on March 6, 2007 and will be on European retail shelves on March 9, 2007." A price has not been set for the game. We'll be bringing you the latest news and updates regarding what will most likely be Grand Theft Auto's last outing on the PS2, Vice City Stories, here at TGTAP. Link: Take Two Press Release

Pooper.

The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) have today published a listing for Vice City Stories, in which it seems to have kept the 18 rating which it received for the PSP version - presumably this re-rating must be for a PS2 version. In addition to this the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) in Australia have given their rating of the PS2 version of Vice City Stories, the game received an MA15+ rating. We're assuming that Take Two will make an official announcement on the game when the time is right for them, stay tuned for more updates soon. Link: BBFC and OFLC

It might not be a disaster though, I think it would be interesting to see what R* would do with it. What I do think is that a port of GTA4 to the Wii is stupid. It's just not the sort of game you'd be able to play properly on it. If the Wii is going to get a GTA game then it's going to have to be a new one IMO, made specifically for it.

jf6293: WTF possessed you to even think that the VCS forum would be a suitable place to post this? You sir, are a moron. The official topic I made 2 months ago is still in Gaming Chat where it belongs. I know there's some GTA Wii topics in the GTA4 forum, but I'ved moved them now as GTA4 != GTA Wii. GTA Wii topic is here

someone make a caturday thread.

Link: Take 2 Press Release So R* London have their first big project which is good. We now have 3 R* development studios in the UK. Also great to see R* Toronto developing for the Wii... could this mean that we eventually see a Wii release of GTA4? Discuss this game.

And is there not a 3.10 custom firmware now? Does that allow cheatdevice to run too?
