Official Screenshots and News Thread!

The main Character for VCS has been announced, it will be Victor Vance, Lance Vances brother from VC who was killed during the start of VC.

This means it's the first time we play as a character that we know dies later on during the series. Lance Vance will also play a big part in the game.

This means that the game is a prequel, meaning no Tommy Vercetti (as hes in jail) and no CJ (It's been confirmed he will not be in the game)

It's set in 1984 two years before Vice

So what are your thoughts?


Victor Vance

It also contains



JET SKI'S!



ALSO YOU CAN SWIM!!!

re: Main Character Cofirmed (It's not who we expected)

There is also a theme park on the beach with a ridable Big Wheel, along with new weather which could possibly be hurricanes!

AND FLYABLE HELICOPTERS!!!

re: Main Character Cofirmed (It's not who we expected)

It's all looking good. Swimming- excellent. All I ever wanted was that. But iIt's theme park I'm looking forward too... is the Chunder Wheel the name of the big wheel? That's pretty funny.

That list in full-

• Victor is a 28 year-old US Marine
• Players can now take on the water of Vice City With jet ski's!
• The animations are more life-like and is a ''step-up from previous titles in the series''
• A multiplayer feature similar to the PSP version of LCS is in the game
• VCS is ''much, much bigger than Vice City''
• Some landmarks are half-built or yet to be refurbished to their state circa 1986

• Binoculars is in the game
• LCS is ''rookie first-gen PSP title compared to VCS''
• Draw distance is great and is said to be better than Vice City on PS2
• Trip skips make a return (If you die or get busted a taxi will take you back to the location where you received the mission from)
• New animations which give both the lead characters and pedestrians a whole new degree of humanity

re: Main Character Cofirmed (It's not who we expected)

Ahhh this is all great info! I think Vance will make a good main character. I cant beleive theres jet skis too, thats sweet. All good news to hear. I just cant wait for some good quality screen shots.

I hope they decide to release the PS2 version at the same time as the psp because I dont want to wait!

re: Main Character Cofirmed (It's not who we expected)

Awesome news. Not too keen on Victor Vance as I was never really a Lance Vance fan, but I'm sure he'll be a great main character, as this is Rockstar after all.

re: Main Character Cofirmed (It's not who we expected)

Victor Vance...Thats so cool!!! this game has all the improvements we wanted.

the plot sounds like Victor and Lance get names for themselves in Vice City, maybe thats why Lance is such a crybaby in PS2 Vice city... Victor did everything for him

re: Main Character Cofirmed (It's not who we expected)

Erm i put the links up so you didn't have to post all of the big pics, so that people on 56k didn't get lag.

Any who the chance of being a stuntman on one mission seems cool!

re: Main Character Cofirmed (It's not who we expected)

so now we have a dead main character and a dead lance in vice city stories does it put you off knowing your character dies at the start of vice city

At least it will tie up some loose ends from VC, well hopefully.

re: Main Character Cofirmed (It's not who we expected)

yeh it as much as i like that the main character has the abilty to swim now it does kind of become weird that u can swim before tommy comes out of jail(Vice City Stories) and not when he does get out of jail(Vice City)
