New info out today from some magazines.
From Gamesmaster:
• One of Vice City Stories' biggest selling points is going to be how easy it is to go from land to water to air travel.
• Missions are more transitional - instead of doing a bit of a mission, watching a cut-scene then doing a bit more.
• The city is twice the size of Liberty City Stories, and the loading times remain roughly the same.
• More detail and more to do - you can expect a lot of new vehicles including all sorts of aircraft.
• While it's quite obvious, the magazine confirms that there will be no eating in the game like San Andreas.
• Vice City Stories will feature plenty of characters, mostly being new.
• As we already know, because the game is set two years before the original Vice City, the city will look slightly different. But the magazine goes further to say that the Leaf Links Golf Course will be in the game, where it was previously speculated not to be in there.
• The story takes place before the money comes flooding in, so there's more poor areas on the map.
From Official PlayStation 2 Magazine:
• The early demo that they got to play still had a few empty streets, but Rockstar assured them that the streets would be twice as full in the final game.
• Based on the storyline revolving around the Vance brothers, there's said to be a lot of humor in the game.
• Rockstar Games also has a big surprise concerning the Wi-Fi features in Vice City Stories.

Naa there is som many people saying Rockstar/GTA VCS-crew is so dumb by not showing leaf links in a screenshot that is from a game that is not totaly finished, and from an point of view where you cant see the golf coruses but Vice Point and the mall over there..
Yeah, I'm also suprised that Leaf Links will make a return. I wonder where it's located... I also wonder what kind of humor they're talking about. :P
Anyway that's a great find Pantoliano! :)

I like the news about the missions on how it'll add more of a cutscene then go on with the mission. I've heard from another site that the missions will be a bit more longer than the ones in LCS. Those were too short.

Yeah, they had shorter missions in LCS because of the pick up and play appeal to the PSP, but i guess they thought otherwise this time around. I like the idea of more complex missions.

Too bad I don't care to pay the forty fucking dollars for Official US PSM anymore, they're demos are going to shit.
"Oh, we don't have enough demos of upcoming releases for our demo discs from now on, so we'll give you old shit!"

Im not too positive about this transitional thing between missions. It means there will be less cut scenes and more action. I for one am I fan of the cut scenes because Rockstar do them very well. However if they can pull exactly what there trying to do off. It just might work.

Same Here, I like when you get more charecter development and more story to the gameplay to give the game more life to it.

I really hope R* will make more of the killing Salvatore kind of missions. You know, the one where you have to kill Salvatore at a certain time of the day. That kind of missions appeal to me.
