News Via GTA Portable.com (http://www.gtaportable.com/news/6320/new-info-in-november-psm):
I've narrowed down the new information below, so you don't have to read all of it.
• One of the several new mini-games in Vice City Stories includes golfing! In one mission, you'll take on a golfing challenge with a character called Gonzales (the guy you kill in GTA: Vice City with a chainsaw). The entire control scheme consists of only one button. Tapping it will start a meter in motion, you then move it around to your desired powered level and once chosen, you tap it again. The process starts again, only choosing the accuracy of your shot.
• In the Empire Building mode there are six types of businesses, that include protection, extortion, and prostitution. The Director at R* Leeds, Gordon Hall, said that they will reveal more types as the release date gets closer.
• Your businesses will get attacked so you can hire and arm bodyguards to protect them. They will also function as safe houses (There are said to be 30 of them).
• The mode will be three tiered, meaning they'll be split into low, middle and high, each requiring more investment for staff and resources.
• To make the mode even more interactive, you'll be able to choose which business you want to run at a desired location. The locale will affect your success, for instance a drug smuggling business will perform good near the Airport or Docks.
• Employees are recruited in a similar way that you would gang members in San Andreas. If they want to work for you, they'll accept, and if not, you'll just have to find another.
• Notifications of attacks on your businesses will be similar to that of San Andreas too, only it will show up on Vic's pager. The business attacked will be able to defend himself, depending on the amount of staff, bodyguards, and weapons you equipped them with.
• Pedestrians on the streets of Vice City will be commenting on your success, so in the beginning you might get a few insulting ones, and as you progress they'll get more friendly.
• There is a picture that has a building that is under construction. The name of the construction company is T.U.M.E. Construction.
