Heres the news:

The first details and screenshots came today from the Australian version of the Gamepro magazine . You'll be playing as Victor Vance - Lance's brother.

Victor, and his brother Lance, will be playing a big part in Vice City Stories. He's seen in the opening scene of GTA: Vice City, as he get killed by a SWAT team.

• The game takes place in 1984 - two years before GTA: Vice City
• Victor is a 28 year-old US Marine
• Players can now take on the water of Vice City With jet ski's!
• The animations are more life-like and is a ''step-up from previous titles in the series''

• LCS is ''rookie first-gen PSP title compared to VCS''
• Draw distance is great and is said to be better than Vice City on PS2
• Trip skips make a return (If you die or get busted a taxi will take you back to the location where you received the mission from)
• New animations which give both the lead characters and pedestrians a whole new degree of humanity
• Far richer color palette that brings sunsets to all new levels of beauty, and realism

can't wait.. what firmware wilL this require???

[Video_freak]

probably 2.80 or higher can't wait for this to be devhooked though

[Briggzy11]

This will require firmware 2.80 no doubt but dont worry as DEVHOOK will be compatible with it very soon...

...I bt even Edison Carter will have a go at hacking the game yet again

[JamesBondOO7]

[Video_freak]

yeah, it looks like the big question is "what firmware"?

maybe we'll get lucky and it'll be 2.71 !! afterall it took ages for other released games to stop being just 2.6, even after 2.7 was out. or maybe it'll just get fixed with a 2.XX -> 2.0 kinda thng, even if 2.8 isnt fully emulated.


looks like Sony are stopping my buying this until said Devhook patch appears.... stupid buggers that they are stopping their own sales!
