Quote
* There will be 70 storyline missions in the game
* The game takes place in 1984 - two years before GTA: Vice City
* Victor and Lance have grown up poor and you start off in a trailer park - a new section in Vice City made for VCS
* Victor is a 28 year-old US Marine and is said to be in peak physical condition
* Ving Rhames will be voicing Victor Vance.
* Due to mobile phones not being a common thing in 1984, Victor will be making use of a pager to receive text messages (This feature was also in GTA III)
* Lance Vance, Victor's Brother, is a ''drug addicted wreck''
* Phil Cassidy has been seen in the Vice City Stories load up titles
* Vice City Stories will feature more characters, mostly being new to the series
* The animations are more life-like and are "a step-up from previous titles in the series"
* New animations which give both the lead characters and pedestrians a whole new degree of humanity
* Time-contextual NPC behaviour is now included, which indicates major events, like hurricanes, may be part of the storyline
* A multiplayer feature similar to the PSP version of LCS is in the game
* There are said to be some ''innovations'' in the multiplayer mode.
* VCS is said to be "much, much bigger than Vice City"
* There are new or altered locations and buildings
* Some landmarks are half-built or yet to be refurbished to their state circa 1986
* Vice City will have a new surrounding area
* There are more poor neighborhoods (slums) in the game
* The Magazine confirmed that Leaf Links will be in the game
* The game will feature golf caddies, which further suggests that the Leaf Links golf course has not been removed from Vice City
* There are all new vehicles and weapons
* You can fly helicopters and the sea plane again
* Helicopter missions would be a common thing in the later part of the game
* A Hermes with flames has been seen, indicating that the Cuban gang may return.
* Bikes handle better than before
* Players can now take to the waters of Vice City with jet skis
* You can swim in the game
* The silenced pistol returns
* Silenced SMGs have been seen
* A new type of rocket launcher
* New weather effects that could include hurricanes
* The water of VCS is now much more realistic, behaving more like a real ocean with upgraded tide and current handling
* The water physics have been overhauled and handle very differently than land physics
* Radio stations from Vice City make a return
* Rockstar Custom Tracks will be reappearing, allowing you to play your own music once again as a radio station
* More interiors than its predecessors
* There is also no more seamless exterior-to-interior gameplay as seen in LCS (there will be a slight loading time)
* A new addition in Vice City is a Ferris Wheel, which you can ride in first-person view
* 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)
* Binoculars are in the game
* Draw distance has been improved and is said to be better than the original Vice City
* Far richer color palette that brings sunsets to all new levels of beauty, and realism
* Pop-up of map models is now minimal
* The version of the game that they saw showed pop-ups and fade-ins, but Rockstar Games assured this will be solved in the final version.
* Increased density of pedestrians, cars and objects
* Explosions not only consist of a circle of fire, but also of hissing fire jets and individual parts flying around.
* Reduction in clumping (where groups of the same people appear together) for pedestrians and vehicles
* Controls are the same as Liberty City Stories.
* The developers promise a more intelligent targeting system, which avoids you from shooting at civilians during large enemy engagements.
