Two top gaming sites have posted previews of Vice City Stories' mutliplayer modes today. Gamesradar were the first with the new info, however, they seem to have pulled their article for some reason. The other site to post, IGN, still have theirs up though. There are a few new screenshots and lots of new info regarding the multiplayer aspect of VCS, details of which are listed below. There are a total of 10 multiplayer modes Like Liberty City Stories, VCS is still only playable in Ad-Hoc mode. No infrastructure mode is available for proper online play. Improvements have been made to the "Survivor" deathmatch mode from Liberty City Stories, there will now be AI controlled vehicles and pedestrians on the streets in addition to the human players The new Might of the Hunter mode is similar to "Tanks for the Memories" from Liberty City Stories, but this time teams must shoot down the Hunter. Tanks for the Memories and indeed all the other modes from Liberty City Stories make a reappearance in VCS. Links: IGN Preview IGN Screenshots Gamesradar Preview (currently not online)

That has actually been discussed before Slayer. Trouble is there's always a 50/50 chance of it failing or succeeding... which isn't really that good. On the one hand, you get loads more members - loads of which will never post, they only reg to see the content. On the other hand, you lose loads of visitors because they can't be bothered to sign up to access content.

Bit of a stupid place for an easter egg though, look where it is on the map, not exactly hard to find is it? The cement shoes man in Vice City was camouflaged in with the rocks so it was pretty hard to see unless you drove over those rocks.

Guys the screen is from Rockstar of course the HUD is real. They aren't going to leave it with LCS' colour scheme are they. Have a little sense. As for the chain of peds, that's just weird. Perhaps Rockstar want to show off how glitchy the game is, a few of the water shots show how crappy the graphics are. Look, here's the shot in question - http://www.thegtaplace.com/image.php?img=g.../jetski_hud.jpg It is from Rockstar and hasn't been edited. The original poster's zoomed in image shows the peds more clearly though. As for screens demonstrating the awful graphics, this is the one you want to see - http://www.thegtaplace.com/image.php?img=g...nder_bridge.jpg Bottom left and right, what the hells with the jagged triangles with the lighter shade of blue eh?

Oh God I hope GTAIV doesn't have this shit with it. I never really played the BF games anyway...

UK based gaming website Eurogamer have put up an article today about the PS3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV, and the fact that it too may have exclusive content, just like the Xbox 360 version. The source clearly isn't reliable but it could be true, and in my opinion, it is likely that we will see content available for the PS3 version anyway. Rockstar unsurprisingly haven't commented on this yet, and probably won't. Link: Eurogamer

Unlucky. See you soon, you're not able to sneak on to the computer I take it?

That file is huge at 63mb, I'm not sure if anyones already uploaded a backup somewhere on the web...

IGN have a new preview on the weapons available in Vice City Stories, there are also five new screenshots showing off a few of them. Link: IGN Weapons Preview

I'd like to point out that you arent required to write "I posted this new on Vcspsp.com and saw it was not here." at the start of every topic you make, also no need to link to the original post AND the site itself. Kinda spamming a bit. Thanks for the info anyway.

Yeah the bots are now able to parse the images and essentially break through the verification, apparently this has been made a lot tougher in IPB 2.2 though so... For me, I don't really like these forums, they're rubbish, I never go on them...

Some more stuff done today... Features page for GTA Advance Uploaded all box arts for all GTA games GTA3 Info page Vice City info page gtalcs info page gtavcs info page vice city system requirements

Thanks, I've done the GTA Sys Req page, I'll sort out radio stations later.

Yeah it's not new, from the official site I believe. BTW, I see you have completely copied and pasted my news story. If you aren't giving us credit by linking back to the site then you're breaching my copyright. Please rectify it.

UGO.com have put up an interesting hands-on preview of Vice City Stories. In it they discuss a couple of missions they get to play, and they also give away details on what could be the new 'hidden packages'. Of course it could just be another thing to find, it's not quite clear yet. Nena's 99 Red Balloons was of course featured on the Vice City soundtrack, albeit her original German version, 99 Luftballons. Another nice humourous piece from Rockstar there, and 1 less package for us to find it seems! Whether the German or English version of the song will be in the game is unknown, but yet again, we are told to expect an awesome soundtrack. Also confirmed in the preview was that we will be working for both the Mendez brothers, it was previously unclear to whether both or just one of them was in the game. Link: UGO.com Thanks to jarjar for the heads up.

I can't stand U2, Bono just makes it even worse. Maddox wrote an article on U2 once, I WHOLLY agree with him - http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=11worst

UK Gaming website GamesRadar have a new preview of Vice City Stories, this one focuses on the side missions you'll find in the game. The main highlight of the preview is the explanation of a new mini game - Beach Patrol. The stamina boosting mentioned here also suggests there will be some sort of stats system implemented, whether it's as extensive as San Andreas' is unknown. Alongside this the preview also talks about the Chunder Wheel being part of a fully working fairground with a bunch of rides which you can go on. The preview also touches on insane stunts, which we already know about of course, as well as having a few new screenshots on show. Link: GamesRadar

This isn't bumping it's an active topic. The point of him posting was to find out why the guests arent signing up, and get suggestions to help sway their decision.

Yeah tilly. I'm glad you said that because I was thinking to myself last month, that maybe all of the sections on the main site, on the left hand side underneath the links to the specific pages, we could link to that games forums. In addition to this I was thinking of posting my downloadfaq.php page on the forums so other people can edit it. And also, creating a promotional pic on the downloads pages (they're actually visited more than the homepage!) for help and support for modding go to the forums... that sort of thing. Yeah we merged them last week. The reason was because stunting is not a popular thing on GTA sites, as most stunters just stick to gtastunting.com... basically the specific sections didnt have many topics in them so it was easier just to have 1 forum for all stunting related topics.

Time to partay. I have the booze, everyone get down to my place!

http://chrisjp88.bebo.com - add me if you want. MySpace just pwns bebo though, and besides, bebo is only promoted in the UK and has been since it started. Barely anyone in any other country has heard of it. My friends who actually have profiles mostly stick to MySpace. P.S. If you haven't worked out already, yes my profile is just a joke, barely anything is serious on there.

Computer and Video Games have published a brand new preview of Vice City Stories today. In it there is not much in the way of new details, however, there are some new screenshots. Some of the screens have already been seen in magazines, but of course they weren't digital. Among the new images is a screenshot which is our first pictoral confirmation of hovercraft in the game. Information was spread a while ago with a literal translation from a German magazine regarding hovercrafts in VCS, though it wasn't clear whether it was down as fact or speculation - now we have pictures this is all irrelevant.

I may put the best ones up on the gta4 fan art page if you like.

Right so we've established that we have a good amount of info and news? That's good, there must be something else to improve upon somewhere...

And what exactly is your suggestion? We are aware of this btw, and we are one of the most heavily trafficked GTA websites on the internet. You're a member and something made you want to sign up, what was that? What can we improve to make anyone feel like they want to sign up?
