GTA: Vice City Stories: PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2
|
On May 10, 2006, Take-Two Interactive announced that GTA: Vice City Stories would be available exclusively on Sony's PlayStation Portable system in October. This announcement followed Take-Two's announcement that Grand Theft Auto IV would be available in 2007 for PlayStation3 and Xbox360.
Vice City Stories is the second title in the Grand Theft Auto series to be developed for the PlayStation Portable system, and it looks to match the success of it's predecessor, Liberty City Stories. The official game description is as follows:
Vice City, 1984. Opportunity abounds in a city emerging from the swamps, its growth fueled by the violent power struggle in a lucrative drugs trade. Construction is everywhere as a shiningmetropolis rises from foundations of crime and betrayal.
As a soldier, Vic Vance has always protected his dysfunctional family, his country, himself. One bad decision later and that job is about to get much harder. Kicked out onto the streets of a city torn between glamour and gluttony, Vic is faced with a stark choice - build an empire or be crushed. |
And here is what R* had to say about Vice City Stories:

"The success of Liberty City Stories on the PSP system was nothing short of spectacular. The incredible PSP system technology allowed us to do things we never thought possible on a handheld system and we are excited to once again give our audience a fresh experience in one of their favorite locales in the Grand Theft Auto series, Vice City. With Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories we look to once again smash expectations of portable gaming, bringing an all new story and exciting new gameplay elements to this classic setting." -- Sam Houser, Executive Producer, Rockstar Games |

"We are proud of what we were able to achieve with Rockstar North on Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. By staying true to the high standards of the series and surpassing fans' expectations for a Grand Theft Auto title on a portable machine we feel confident that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories will redefine what handheld gaming is capable of with the most intense PSP system experience yet." -- Gordon Hall, President of Rockstar Leeds |

"Our collaboration with Rockstar Leeds has been a tremendous experience. Together we have been able to create uncompromising experiences on the PSP system that not only stay true to our initial vision for the series but that surpasses our own goals of what could be done on a handheld. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories will thrill longtime fans and excite new PSP system gamers like never before." -- Leslie Benzies, President of Rockstar North |
