More information has emerged today on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the ‘next generation’ GTA title for the PSP in development by publisher Rockstar Games. 2 whole new screenshots along information on the cars and the control system has been revealed in a preview published in the UK Official Playstation Magazine. Now not all of this is completely new, as some of it would have been covered in Gamepro’s preview, but some of it is:

• Popular cars the Phoenix and Stinger make a return to Vice City, as seen in the screenshots.
• Victor and Lance have grown up poor, and you start off in a trailer park that’s brand new to Vice City.
• There’s a whole new cast of characters, as well as some characters from Vice City.
• As said before, not only is the city bigger, it’s more detailed.
• Buildings look cleaner, signs are at a much higher resolution, and the palm trees look better.
• Brand new pedestrians, and groups of the same type appear less together thanks to a reduction on clumping.
• Missions are much more varied than previous GTA’s.
• Water effects have been improved, with a ”choppy-looking surface” and weather affecting vehicle handling and swimming.
• Helicopters control smoothly
• Rockstar Leeds has been listening to your thoughts on Liberty City Stories, like controlling issues, swimming and flying etc.
• As you probably know, the biker gang makes a return to Vice City. But, according to this article Big Mitch Baker will be the leader again. So expect to see him in the game!
• In one screenshot we see a silenced SMG.
• Police troops parasail down in order to ‘kick your ass’ in Mission 4 titled “Tune in, Bug Out”. In this mission you have to buy a rocket launcher and take out police receivers across town, involving car sections, helicopter flights and rooftop battles. All the stuff we love about GTA!
