VCS: Flood of Info + First Scans

No need to wait until tomorrow for the Australian GamePro magazine: new Vice City Stories (PSP) info from the Rockstar interview has hit GTAForums, along with thirteen scans (they've since popped up in several places, and I've tried to gather everything). Let's go through it one by one:

• The main character of the game is Victor Vance, Lance Vance's brother. He's 28 years old and in great physical shape, no coincidence that he serves/served in the military.
• VCS is set in 1984, 2 years before the events of Vice City. The city will be bigger, but probably, as with LCS, there will be only minor changes.
• Improved animations - among other things, the behaviour of the characters has been refined.
• New vehicles: for example the JetSki, which you can see with your own eyes in the pictures below.
• We can fly a helicopter again.
• Victor can swim.
• Just like in LCS, there will be a multiplayer mode here too (we want one on PS2 as well!).
• New weather element: hurricane.
• Fewer "from point A to point B" style missions, more unique missions.
• New water effect, with the JetSki we can splash water onto the shore.
• Vice City's radio stations return, with new songs of course.
• New loading system - only short pauses before missions.
• New amusement park on Ocean Beach: we can get on the Ferris wheel, and the game switches to first-person view when we do.

Things that probably (and sadly) won't be in the game:

• Customizable characters and vehicles.
• Wall climbing

The scans are pretty small and poor quality, but they're definitely worth a look.
