Chris Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 It's been all but confirmed by Rockstar themselves now, the question many people have been wondering about has finally been answered. Vice City Stories does indeed look like it's coming to the PS2 after all. Many people speculated that Rockstar would not bother porting the game to the PS2, seeing as we will see the release of Grand Theft Auto IV this October dwarfing all other GTA games, but a search on the official ESRB website for "Vice City Stories" now lists a PlayStation 2 version of the game too, with the same 'M' rating and descriptors as the PSP version. This means Rockstar must have submitted the game to them. See for yourselves on the ESRB Search page for "Vice City Stories". We'll hopefully have a press release from Take Two soon, confirming that this is correct. Stay tuned for more VCS and GTA4 updates. UPDATE: After reading some of the comments here I checked other countries rating sites and was unable to find any other mention of a PS2 version. The BBFC (UK) only has the trailers rated for the UK, PEGI (Europe) only has the PSP version, and while the OFLC (Australia) does have a PS2 version rated, it doesn't have a PSP version there, suggesting the listing is a slight mistake by the webmasters when it was submitted back in September. Thanks to Neil for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashon. Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 This might look convincing and I saw this posted over at GTAF also but I think nothing's confirmed yet until Rockstar announces it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I hope this isn't correct. It's LCS for PS2 all over again. Oh well, nice job finding out about this, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 nothing's confirmed yet until Rockstar announces it themselves. Yeah that's what I've pointed out in my post, it isn't 100% confirmed yet, but the thing is, for the ESRB to have that listed surely Rockstar must have submitted it? Oh well, I'm sure we'll hear from Rockstar soon once this news gets posted around the interweb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOYA Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 It would be fantastic if it came out on PS2! I hope it does, it looks like it would be a good game on PS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charger Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hopefully this time they add some nice Features. I have a feeling they will give us a hint of GTAIV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Well, if it's listed on there site chances are it is true and is going to happen. The Australian Game Ratings website doesn't have it, but that isn't anything new . EDIT: Although the ones it does have says Playstation 2, there is no PSP one there: http://www.oflc.gov.au/special.html?n=46&a...p;record=216048.

Rashon. Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) Hopefully this time they add some nice Features. I have a feeling they will give us a hint of GTAIV Well, then what will they add? The most they'll modify is those mysterious 10 drawings all over Vice City in VCS like the "Hello Again" and "You Aren't Supposed To Be Here (I'm not sure if it said that in the PS2 version of LCS)" in LCS. Other than that, it should be the same game. Edited January 21, 2007 by Rashon125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott. Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I hope it does. I really enjoyed the last Vice City on PS2 but it broke. VCS seems like a great game but I haven't played it yet. I loved the 80's theme in Vice City. COME ON ROCKSTAR CONFIRM IT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I hope it does come to ps2, but only if all the annoying glitches are taken out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM™ Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I just hope that as well as it comes out for PS2, it should come out for PC. But it might be a bit more different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I hope it does come to ps2, but only if all the annoying glitches are taken out... I think there only choice is to fix all the bugs and glitches, PS2 players won't stand for as many glitches as PSP players did. It was a step up in portable gaming, but on PS2 it's below the average line. I just hope that as well as it comes out for PS2, it should come out for PC.But it might be a bit more different. Did LCS come out on PC? Nope. So VCS won't either, I bet my money on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i hope it was rated by them, coz we dont have any other people to rate our games. Which is a problem considering they are terrible at rating games. No R rating, and if a game has the smallest touch of gore or sexual references it's gone. Except for some, I was reading today about a game (God Of War I think it was called) that was accepted with an MA+15 rating and has the same or very identical interactive sex scenes San Andreas had, but not hidden in the game. There actually a big part of the games progress. Not to mention the amount of nudity the game has also. And it wasn't banned, nor is anyone around the world hitting the roof about it. Now that people, is bloody radiculas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's annoying yes, but the graphics are better on PSP. So that stands for something I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
