Vice City Stories Info Flood

No need to wait until tomorrow for the Australian GamePro magazine: new Vice City Stories (PSP) info from the Rockstar interview has been posted on GTAForums, along with thirteen scans (they've since turned 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 given that he serves/served in the Navy.
• VCS is set in 1984, 2 years before the events of Vice City. The city will be bigger, but probably, as in LCS, there will only be minor changes.
• Improved animations - among other things, character behavior has been refined.
• New vehicles: for example the JetSki, which you can feast your eyes on 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 for 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, of course with new songs.
• New loading system - there are only short pauses before missions.
• New amusement park on Ocean Beach: we can ride 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
