Stolen from Wikipedia:
The game takes place in 1984 - two years before GTA: Vice City
Vic and Lance have grown up poor, and you start off in a trailer park - that's brand new to Vice City.
Victor is a 28 year-old US Marine, and is said to be in peak physical condition
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"
A multiplayer feature similar to the PSP version of LCS is in the game
VCS is "much, much bigger than Vice City" (most likely story-wise)
Some landmarks are half-built or yet to be refurbished to their state circa 1986
There's new or altered locations and buildings
All new vehicles and weapons
You can fly helicopters and the sea plane
Radio stations from Vice City make a return
New weather effects that could include hurricanes
You can swim in the game
Bikes handle better than before
There's also no more seamless exterior-to-interior gameplay as seen in LCS (There'll be a slight loading time)
A new addition in Vice City is the chunder-wheel, which you can ride in first-person view
Binoculars are in the game (oohhh, a sniper rifle without bullets, I'm so scared :p)
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
Increased density of pedestrians, cars and objects
Reduction in clumping (where groups of the same model type appear together)
Far more interiors that its predecessors
The silenced pistol would return
Silenced SMG's have been seen.
A Hermes with flames has been seen, indicating that the Cuban gang might return.
A new type of rocket launcher will feature.
Time-contextual NPC behaviour is now included
Pop-up of map models is now minimal
Phil Cassidy has been seen in the Vice City Stories load up titles
The water of VCS is now much more realistic, behaving more like a real ocean with upgraded tide and current handling
Now, if someone could post the mag screens, and the other two that one dude found, that'd be great:) .
Also, I heard that there will be ragdoll, but I have my doubts.

It looks like the Klobb-gun or what its name is will also feature in this game. Looks like Vic is holding one. People here should remember the Klobb from Goldeneye back on the good old N64.

Also, I heard that there will be ragdoll, but I have my doubts. About Vic being in peak physical condition but looking at him in VC he looks abit overweight yeah i know it is two years and alot can happen within two years but still my dad looks the same that the looked like two years eariler i have to wonder what would make him gain all that weight.

Food would do the job or maybe beer. Food i understand but beer i mean come on he was a Marine
Food i understand but beer i mean come on he was a MarineBeer has yeast in it wich makes you fatter hence the term "beer gut" and you cant tell me a criminal wouldn't drink beer.

it would be great if Diaz was also really skinny this time around. and plus if you do alot of blow it can make you gain some weight and you will start looking alot older. but once again R* defies the laws of aging by making a man age 10 years in only 2.

Beer has yeast in it wich makes you fatter hence the term "beer gut" and you cant tell me a criminal wouldn't drink beer. What i meant was why would he take up drinking he was a marine.

The gernade launcher Victor is holding is actually called a M-79, aka Blooper in the Vietnam War, aka Lil' Smokey in 50 Cent:Bulletproof.
What i meant was why would he take up drinking he was a marine.And what i ment was he was a criminal from VCS to VC wich was 2 years when he wasn't a marine but a criminal and thats plenty of time to put on weight.

No no no, not that dude. I mean that gun he is holding in one of the screens near the Inferus or what it`s name in VC was.
