There have been many previews and screenshots of Vice City Stories appearing on the web today. As there is such a large number of them I've consolidated everything into this one post. For those of you who are just interested in the screens, I've uploaded all of the new screenshots to our VCS Screenshots page. UPDATE 1: IGN have posted their Preview and a couple of brand new Screenshots Eurogamer have followed suit and also posted a preview of their own with one new screen. UPDATE 2: Gamesradar have posted a Preview along with some Screenshots, all of which are seen in other previews today. UPDATE 3: SPOnG have a preview of VCS on their site, there are no new screens in this one though. As well as this, ComputerAndVideogames have 2 new screenshots for your viewing pleasure/ UPDATE 4: German gaming site 4Players.de have a whopping 8 new screens, 2 of them being exclusives. GameSpy have also posted 2 new screenshots, in addition to some old ones with a weird blue effect on them. UPDATE 5: GameSpot have posted some new screens, as well as some of the older ones now without their watermarks. UPDATE 6: TotalVideogames have posted a preview but with no new screens. Finally, what seems to be the last preview comes from 1UP, they also have a few new screens with their article. Enjoy reading through all those articles! I myself couldn't really find any new information. However, one screenshot shows an air ambulance. Whether we'll be able to carry out the Ambulance missions in this is unclear, but it seems pointless putting in an air ambulance if we can't use it.

Yeah what on earth did you do to the text? :/ What were you cutting it out from my image or the vcs logo? Also you just used random artwork to cover up the joins in the images, I tried my best to blend mine, I want some better screenshots though before I make a decent banner.

C:\Documents and Settings\Chris\My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files replace 'Chris' with your username on your computer obviously though.

There's some sort of Action Replay or Gameshark device that can do this sort of thing, I mean if you take a look at the PS2 pages on GameFAQs you'll see loads of PS2 saves people have uploaded... http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/save/914983.html Ah look there's SharkPort, X-Port, Codebreaker, and AR MAX saves there. I'm guessing you might need one of those devices to get a ps2 save on to your PC. Your PS2 probably won't recognise your USB device as it's only made to recognise PS2 specific things, such as the eyetoy. Plugging it in will do no harm though, or at least it shouldn't do.

Dmac is online 24/7 posting VCS news on vcspsp and then coming over here and posting it which gives him a genuine excuse for linkage, then I post it. Still, doesn't matter anyway, it's not a race to post news, and who the hell visits general GTA sites for VCS news, people either go to gtapsp or gtaportable I would imagine.

You know Gerard will be able to tell you what's good and stuff probably, head over to one of our his sites; MSForums.com and register there if you have PC questions and stuff. There's more expereinced PC pro's there so you may get better responses, or stay here and get info from us, which is good, but might not be as accurate I'd say it's a good processor though, what speed is it?

Official Playstation Magazine USA have a new one page preview of Vice City Stories in their latest issue. There's no new information in the article, however, there are two new screenshots for you to look at. LINK: Magazine Scan

It's not a glitch in FireFox, it's actually technically a bug in IE. The name effects (only viewable in IE) when used actually invalidate the code and would cause problems on special screens such as blind people using text readers for example. of course this wouldn't ever be the case on a website like this. But all non-IE browsers are standards compliant so they won't implement [useless] feature if it will make them non standard compliant. You probably have no idea what I'm talking about. But anyway, we might trial them or something. Some people can find them annoying.

Electronic Gaming Monthly have published a couple of new screenshots along with their one page preview of Vice City Stories. There's no new info in the mag but you may like to read it over anyway. We'll have the digital shots soon. EGM Scan, Gamespot Topic Thanks to HappyKhicken for the scan.

German fansite GTAReactor are reporting that Play the Playstation, a German magazine, have published a preview about the demonstration they saw at the Leipzig Games Convention. The magazine explains a new "Empire Building" mode which will be in Vice City Stories. This sub plot will give Victor the role of forcibly conquering the criminal organisations and other gangs that own the buildings and businesses throughout Vice City (approximately 30 of them). After you have acquired these businesses, you can then invest your own cash in them and run them profitably, or at least try to. Think of it as a vastly improved safehouse buying feature we first saw in the original Vice City.

OMFG the blue laser returns. Lol. I still don't understand how it appears in every one of your pics, it's kinda funny.

It is, he told me on MSN. I was just waiting to see what everyone else said about it before I posted.

A screenshot of another game does not constitute an impressive fake in my opinion. It constitutes a lame publicity stunt.

Why are you using such an old version? That's probably about 3 years old. Get the latest one - http://www.thegtaplace.com/pafiledb.php?ac...file&id=728 It should have a server list built in, if not, go to game-monitor.com, of course gamespot won't have a server list, they're games journalist, not a gta multiplayer site.

I've finished with the VCS style for now, I'll wait for some better screens to use.

Thanks, I'll now work on the VCS style, and move this topic back into the Suggestions and Feedback forum.

Yeah I'm going to make a VCS style after this. http://www.thegtaplace.com/gta4/ Layout is now blue... What do you all think?

Sydney, Australia. What sort of colours for the layout itself do you suggest? EDIT: Decided I'll use a blue'ish colour.

I've updated the logo. http://www.thegtaplace.com/gta4/ Press Ctrl+F5 if you still see the plain black one, it should be a silhouette of a city. In case you're wondering, the picture I photoshopped for the city background was this http://sophie-g.net/photo/oz/baie/pct/coucher.jpg

Just your personal preference? or you mean it's too dark that it's difficult to read stuff?

Oh God please don't post comments like that People will think you're serious and flame you for it, it's just pure flamebait.

Hmm... I swear I managed to find it for free somewhere... Anyway, it's attached to this post BNKGOTHM.TTF

Much like the GTAIV "preview" that appeared on Weebls Stuff we posted about 2 months ago, Something Awful have written an equally amusing 'preview' of the game. For those of you who haven't been on the Internet before, Something Awful is a comedy website with articles consisting of irreverent rants, usually with a satirical tone to them. Their GTA4 preview is no different, so have a sense of humour and laugh along. Some people complained about Weebls Stuff for posting inaccurate information, completely missing the point... Link: GTA4 Preview @ Something Awful Thanks to GTA-SanAndreas.com for the link.

http://www.thegtaplace.com/gta4/ I just updated it... what do you think? (press Ctrl+F5 to make sure you see updated css and images) I want it to be dark as we know nothing about the game, so it gives the section of the site a sense of mystery. At the moment the logo is completely blank, I thought about putting silhouettes of random characters in it, however, I thought one site already did that, but if I don't find it then I will add this in. I just don't want to be labelled a copycat. What about using the site though and browsing the old gta4 pages which need updating, does it look all right? Any changes you recommend?

Scrubs is great, not as good as Green Wing, a British medical comedy. Americans would hate it though because they simply cannot comprehend British humour, which is good in a way. Never heard of 'House', it's kinda poorly named, what does the title have to do with the content? Perhaps it's unusual in that the people live in houses or something... [/sarcasm]
