EDIT: new details

ccording to the description of the game in the magazine, Vice City Stories will have no online multiplayer play. It doesn't mention any of this in their actual article, so chances are they're probably just assuming it not to be in the game. Rockstar Games told PSM that currently they have no plans on porting the game over to PS2 (As I speculated yesterday, they still haven't made a decision on bringing the game to PS2 owners).

If you read the mission ''Jump Ship'' over at the missions page, you'll know that one of the Vance's businesses associates, Brian Forbes, has been screwing with them and is an undercover cop. Lance then decides that he'll kidnap him and force some useful information out of him. The brothers learn that there's a drug deal going down at the docks and they head down to the meeting.

The mission goes on where Vance is kidnapped. Well, in this issue we learn that Brian Forbes is actually the one who kidnapped him, meaning the character, Brian Forbes, survives the ordeal and is not killed out of the game. Although, he could be one of the men you kill when you save Lance.

Also, Rockstar's Custom Tracks, where it allows you to import your own music into the game, will be making a return for Vice City Stories.

i'm beggining to contemplate the acuraccy of earlier reports, first there was multiplayer, now no multiplayer. but then again they just said they might not have seen it.

It's a small game to them, so they may not want to act in VCS. Replacement cast, come on in...

Stinger one is worked out.
Location: Infront of Moist palms hotel (which is supposed to be under construction in VCS (http://www.gtagaming.com/forums/showpost.php?p=12 92903&postcount=34)), viewing from the north.

Nothing really special there to notice, only the building at the right seems to have new light-works on it this time.

[santos]

I think that's a picture of Brian Forbes, not Mike. I saw on some other sites that there are three new characters in the game.

[stealthbomber]

Yeah that looks too old to be Mike Toreno. Oh well, at least there's always GTA4 to look forward for Mike!

[LosSantos4life]

I think it would be cool to see Mike in VCS.
but he probably won't be in it, if he is then it was probably his men on top of the Ice Cream Factory in VC, which would be where they would get the drugs for the loco syndicate.
we never really figured out who those people were (some were streetwannabes)

[Ash_735]

That is cool artwork and does resemble Mike Toreno in a way but it may also be Multiplayer Art, like in LCS it had a few, A guy holding a Gun to another guys head, some bloke crouching behind a car, etc.

Vice City Stories is certainly turning out to be xbox-styled graphics according to that article.

I truly believe we will see some more character(s) from the GTA series in this game.
The little return of Claude from Sa was magnificent in my opinion, and i sure hope they will pull of something similar.

That artwork could sure as hell be Mike Toreno. I'd love to see him in VCS.

Toreno was my favourite character in San Andreas. And I say that with no exceptions. He may be my favourite character in the series. However I dont just like him because he's witty. He had an element not many other characters had in the series. And that happens to be Mystery. Not much is known about him at all. However if he were to re-appear in a GTA game he may some-what lose this element of mystery. Knowing about some of his past would take this away dearly. So I would absolutley hate seeing Toreno in Vice City Stories.

[T-Virus]

On the other hand, we could see a past filled with lots of excellent footage for GTA4.

[santos]

Come to think of it, it might be Mike. We all know Diego Mendez is a new character and he's likely to be the brother of T-Bone Mendez. So, maybe T-Bone and Mike return and we see the rise of the Loco Syndicate.

That could happen.
or the new character could be Diego 'T-Bone' Mendez!
