BlueGender Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 [color=blue][Size=1]Grand Theft Auto Vice is coming Octbober 29th and it will e twice as large ar Grand Theft Auto 3. There will be a 9 hour soundtrack towering over Grand Theft Auto 3 hour soundtrack. Motor Cylces and Helicopter are now accesable vehicles and it is not said thr are 100-120 missions in the game. You will be able to explore 50+ interiors and it is confirmed that you will be able to buy clothing from cloths store.Belo is a list of what s confirmed in the game and the story. New Weapons: Chainsaw Machette Colt Python Ruger MAC-10 M-60 Uzi Screwdriver Assault Rifle New Cars: Voodoo Virgo GPX Banshee Inferno Stretch Motorcycle Walt on RedCar Gameplay Improvements: Improved cleaner, smoother hand to hand combat system that includes various kicks and punches. Also you can kneel down to steady you aim. 40 weapons. (Compared to GTA III's 15) These include a knife, machete, six-shooter, uzi and many more. New character animations are included for each weapon, such as a stabbing animation for the machete. Improved targeting system. It will change color depending on threat and tell you if a ped is armed. Improved AI. The police can now shoot out tires. They will also chase after other criminals this time. Peds do more action such as jog, lay on the beach, roller-skate, sit on benches, cross streets and walk in pairs. Peds will also crouch down behind cars when in a gun fight and gangs will walk in groups instead of in single file or on their own in GTA III. GTA: Vice City will be all open from the start! (Meaning you can explore the whole city without limitations.) The city is two and a half times larger than Liberty City! Ability to enter at least 50 buildings! These include and are not limited to: bank, coffee shop, hotels, shopping mall, airport and night clubs. The buildings are multi-leveled and have fully decorated interiors. Buildings are interactive. For example: walking into a store and buying new clothes. Greater geographical diversity, such as downtown areas filled with skyscrapers, neon-lit boulevards, run-down slums, swampland, the ocean and a huge network of streams and rivers. At least 100 missions (possibly 140)! The missions will tend to be longer, more challenging and more sophisticated with high-end production values, unlike GTA III's 'grab-and-go' missions. They could include a car chase, gun fight and an interior interaction all in the same mission. New side missions such as pizza delivery, and the rumored SWAT, limo, and ice cream missions. The main character can talk. About a 2000 page script, with greater character and plot development than ever before. 80 minutes worth of cutscenes, compared to GTA III's 30. A possibility of playing as different characters throughout the game. Vehicle Improvements: 120 vehicles in all! (Compared to GTA III's 50) Real-time shadowing on car's surface. Improved on the number of reflective surfaces on cars. Better lighting and shadowing. Scenery will cast shadows on your vehicle as you drive by. Different types of police cars! Higher resolutions. Better damage models, such as broken windows. You can also damage your car with a weapon, like a bat. You can bail out of moving vehicles. Ability to shoot tires to slow down your foes. This will make the car lose handling. Warning: The police can do this as well. New sportscars and trucks all inspired by the '80s. Many more boats, such as a luxury sailboat, speed boat, fishing boat, Coast Guard boat; and waterways and canals all over Vice City to drive them through! There are now motorcycles*, helicopters, planes (one with pontoons, so it can land on water), etc. When on a motorcycle your clothes ripple in the wind! Ability to shoot forward on a motorcycle. Multiple pedestrians inside a vehicle. (On the vehicle, in the motorcycle's case) Ability to use weapons inside the helicopter, such as a sniper. Sound Improvements: There will be an estimated 9 hours of radio! (Compared to GTA III's three and a half hours.) Close to 90 songs! These are actually real songs this time, from artists such as Judas Priest, A Flock of Seagulls or Michael Jackson. 8000 to 9000 lines of pedestrian dialogue. (GTA III had about 3000 and that was roughly an hour and a half) A GTA: VC soundtrack will be licensed by a major record label. Story: Here is the storyline as it follow's so far, As quoted from the Grand Theft Auto article in GameInformer magazine. Set 20 years before its predecessor, Vice City introduces us to a new hero, Tommy Vercetti, a former street soldier for the Forelli brothers who has recently been released from an extended prison stay. As a reward for his silence, a young Sonny Forelli sends Tommy to Vice City to expand their criminal empire. Of course, Tommy's first big deal goes terrible wrong, and he soon discovers that he has lost all the cash the Forellis had earmarked for their VC operations. Sonny Forelli, not a man to be jerked around by a washed-up ex-con, demands his money back in no uncertain terms. Tommy happens upon a small bit of luck through his relationship with Ken Rosenberg, a shady lawyer with heavy connections in the VC underworld. Rosenberg befriends with Tommy, outfitting him up with a sweet pastel suit and an invitation to a boat party that will be attended by many of the leading lights of the criminal community. What happens after this is anyone's guess, as Rockstar would not comment. Still, we expect that Tommy's road to the riches will not be without its share of double-crosses and violent betrayals.

Guest Solid Snake Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 [color=teal]There is no doubt that I will be buying this game. But it isn't all about the violence. As you say, there are numerous advancements in the game such as more vehichles, longer radio (though the songs may be lacking), and an over-all bigger game. Exploring alone would set me straight for at least 2 months, and that's only if I play it every day. ;) It really makes you wonder -- if this game is a mere III plus, what advancements will they make for IV, besides online capabilities?[/color] :blah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 [color=red][b]Well, I don't have a ps2 so i will ahve to wait for Vice City to come out on PC. But I will definitly buy it.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hideki Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 This game is gonna be great. I can't wait to grab a bat and start knocking people off their motorcycles :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoCactuar Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Well blue gender, i think you have basically covered everything i wanted to talk about, lol. But if any of you do want to get some good screen shots, or official information, go to... [url]http://www.gta-vc.com[/url] You can find there the new screen shots, and the conformation list that Blue Gender posted. But finally, Otaku has expanded to the Relm of GTA. Let us all bask in Rockstar & DMA's glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zidargh Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 [SIZE=1]It appears that Rockstar has outdone itself this time. Also I'd like to say 8-Ball stars in Vice City too which is quite a mystery. Seeing as his is basically a prequel in the making, and not too far away at all.[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]But it didnt say anything abou if the game has a higher resolution that it wouldnt have any slowdowns, hmm. And also I hope this GTA has none of those gltches like running down the subway and landing on the air port o_0.[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]But in the end, this sincerely looks amazing. Quite a good first thread, well done.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 [color=royalblue]I love the idea of being able to go into buildings in GTA: Vice City. I think it'll really expand the game's appeal. Also, the ability to shoot out tires is a small but useful addition...I mean, if you're chasing someone and you're too far away, you can use a sniper rifle to shoot them off the road basically. I think it's a very cool advancement. I wonder how the police will pursue you if you're in a chopper though. I mean, if you're shooting from a chopper...will they just ram into you, or shoot you or what? That part of the game sounds very cool...[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Indeed it does, this game looks great. Unfortunatley, I dont have a PS2 and have dedicated myselt to my beloved Gamecube. Lets hope that PS2 makes an exception and brings GTA:III onto the GCN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 [color=royalblue]I don't think there is any way you're going to see GTA: Vice City on GCN. I mean, you never know...but it's very doubtful. There was talk that GTAIII would appear on GCN, but DMA shot that rumor down pretty fast. GTAIII [i]is[/i] going to appear on the GBA, however. I don't know what they'll do with GTA: Vice City in terms of cross platform stuff. I would imagine that Sony is very determined to keep the franchise as exclusive as possible.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Break Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 [size=1]This sounds like such an improvement on GTAIII, all this little details like shooting out tyres, bailing out of cars and shooting from helicopters will make this game a hell of a lot more fun than GTAIII (which was very fun anyway ^^). One thing that I hope GTA:Vice City will not have is those damn glitches.. they're annoying, but funny as hell. One was if you jumped onto the hospital roof (2nd island) and walked to the left wall you end up in this weird room, you can see cars going by under you but there is no floor, there are loads of psychadellic colours flashing around, then you carry on walking and drop through any random place in the game.. ^^ it's very delightful.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueGender Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 [size=1][color=blue]Well GTA:3 Might be coming to Gameboy Advanced it has not been spoken on by Rockstar in a long time some believe it is canceled and as for the GTA series appearing on the GCN it is highly unlikely...atleast for the next year Rockstar signed a document that said GTA will only appear on the PS2 til mid-2004(not including the handheld and PC market). The thing that I am most looking forward to in Vice City is CHATTERBOX!!! I think Chatterbox was the best radio station in Grand Theft Auto I hoe they get Laslo to return it would be funy to see ho he is in the 80's. Here is a list of rumors I found non are confired but all arehighly specualated. Game Rumors: Half the weapons will be inventory stored, half will be weapons you pick up on the street (ie. trash can, shovel, pipe). Swimming is allowed, but only on the surface of the water. And only in shallow areas, in deep waters they have a shark patrolling. Hidden packages and 4x4 missions have been removed, but "unique jumps" along with "rampages" have returned, along with "challenges" and "red herrings" New side missions include SWAT, helicopter rescue (entitled "rescue"), Pizza delivery (on a moped) and boat versions of "vigilante" and "emergency" missions. You will also be able to exit your vehicle while on these missions and you will be wearing your missions respective uniforms. Fireman missions allow you to aim your hose at the fire this time. You can be held up by other gangs or stopped by police for no reason. You will start out being provided a small hideout in the slum area of town but slowly as you make money will have the opportunity to buy new houses ranging from middle class suberbia to a mansion in the ritzy part of town. There is a mainland and a second island that has a military base and an airport. The airport contains a Cessna-like plane that you can fly. The military base has a police station in it. It also has a military helicopter that if you access, you will automatically get a wanted level for being in a restricted area. Cars have gas and you will have to fill up cars periodically in the game if you dont want them to run out of gas during chase or mid-mission. Skateboards, Bikes,and Rollerskates will be fully accessable and will be required for side missions . You will be able to rob banks ,convienient stores, and Ammunation. Lazlow will be back . There will be more then one playable character. You will be able to enter movie theatures and see a short movie. You're able to shoot tires out, and watch cars sway all over the place and even slam into trees or fly off cliffs. When you crash into a builind a dent will be left in it. Your car can get dirty and you may have to get them washed at a car wash. GTA3's Fido has a camio. High level veichals are impossible to be stolen by you and you have to purchass them for hefty sums of money increasing the reason to maintain them. You will be able to use the Delorian (Back to the Future) to travel through time. As your statis in the undegrowned crime scene is upped you will be let in more exclusive nightclubs. In the begining you will be let in a cheap club with un attractive people. You can pop tires with the screwdriver. Buddy is the main crime boss in the game. He is also voiced by Phillip Michael Thomas (the guy who played "Tubbs" in Miami Vice.) [/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueGender Posted September 12, 2002 Author Share Posted September 12, 2002 [color=blue][size=1]It is a rumor most likely fake it has been said many times by Rockstar to be un-true the list I gave in the post before this was a list of rumors. But you never know Rockstar is full of suprise and might include the car in game. They confimed the higly specualted shark rumor a while ago.[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean we can turn into Mr-T and pity the fool? How about.... no. It's something for people to speculate over until October 22, 23, 24, 25, 27, 28, 29 (Depending on Location, and/or pre-order). But it does mean one thing, this game is surely hyped. Lets just hope it can live up to all of our expectations. And with the screenshots so far, there is no reason to doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foredaddy Posted September 14, 2002 Share Posted September 14, 2002 I wasnt gonna but it until i found out that I could take my GTA 3 and trade it in for Vice City and only have to pay $15 bucks at EB. and it does look pretty good.

That was the beauty of drive-by shootings, or merely running people over. :p Well I am absolutley adoring the idea of being able to go into places. I'm wondering how freely you'll be able to raom the places. That idea that buildings take a little damage is a major plus. Now if they could take my idea in my post in the other topic to full effect ^_^. But this sounds really awesome..
