View Full Version : Some interesting things I've found in the VCS trailer.
Well I was browsing through the trailer when I came across these things.

First off notice the baracade on the bridge, could this suggest that you start on the 2nd island this time around?

Notice the side cafe that used to be in little havana is gone, it is now replaced by a new shop and it doesn't look to be accessible this time around. Also the cherry popper factory doesn't appear to have any errrmmm ''ice cream'' scoops on top, could this suggest that there was no cherry popper in 1984?

Notice the rockstar sign in the background. Could this be a celeverly placed easter egg for the trailer or is it going to be in game? Also, notice there is no VCN building meaning that we will be likely to not be seeing the famous Easter Egg ''Easter egg''. :(
Edit: Also it looks like one of the dead guys on the floor is the army guy that is talking to you earlier in the trailer.
EDIT2 It apears that corner shop has the word ''ciggarette'' on the sign. And since it's near little havana could it be some kind of cigar store?
Edit3: Fixed some dreadfull spelling errors.
Nice finds that first one is very interesting it could be that we start on the second island, but it could also just could be that R* was using a game with no progress to do the demo and thats why the barricades are still there.

Also look at what the dead guy on the left is wearing. The same clothes Diego Mendez is wearing in his Artwork. Its possibly him.

The cigarrette sign could lead to a possibility of smoking being featured in the game. Perhaps yet another secret way to boost your health (shaking car, eating?).

Good finds, Lynk :)
Nice find with the tralier, Lynky. :)
From the first pic, it really seems those are the blockades preventing you to move to the first island. Must be a clue that, you're starting from the 2nd island.
About the 3rd Pic, I think you've got slightly a wrong concept out of it. The VCN building is actually behind the building where all the action happened and that couldnt came up into the screen.
Here are the comparisons...

And, I guess all of those actions happened on this --> http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a230/buetforasif/ th_action_may_took_place_on_this_build.jpg (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a230/buetforasi f/action_may_took_place_on_this_build.jpg) <-- building, looks quite spaceous to hold the action.
(notice, that parabolic dish may not be there in VCS)

I assume everyone noticed that Leaf Links is in the game having watched the trailer - at least now we know.

Great finds Lynk, I was planning on inspecting that trailer tonight:P
Thanks everybody, just noticed that one of my pics was posted on GTAVice under the name GrimFaith. :D

Wow, does that mean that someone else jacked your pic? Let's jump him! Anyway, nice finds and I agree that the guy on the left in the last pic looks like Diego (like victim said) and the guy on the right could be the soldier (like Lynk said) you see in the trailer.
Looking at the cigarette shop, I wonder if the other shops were replaced, specifically the ones that you could rob. Do you think that the robbing feature will not be implemented in the game like in Vice City perhaps?
Cookies!
Edited:
Oh yes, so they are one in the same (Lynk and GrimFaith), thanks phreak, no more looking a dumb fool for me. Let's help Lynk jump himself then.

It's possible that robbing might return. After all LCS shared alot with GTA3 in terms of unique features. Like fences that would fall down instead of shattering as in SA.
Also, don't you just love the sparkle that the water has in the trailer! :D Nice!

Gotta love people like GrimFaith :rolleyes:
Again, Lynk, nice finds. And Asif, nice comparisons.

First up great work Lynk. Your GrimFaith from GTAForums right?
So anyway it appears to me that the door to the cigarette shop may possibly be enterable as it looks exactly like the enterable doors from San Andreas. It would be better to have loading times in between stores like this so inside Rockstar can have better textures if there were no loading times. Also in the DEA movie it appears that the door you see when driving in the Sentinel at the very end of the clip is a yellow marker which appeared in San Andreas in front of the enterable doors.
Also in the DEA video it was my observation the men sitting behind Ricardo Diaz. They seem to be Mike and the man with the Moustache who never seems to talk.

Although Vic is blocking the path to seeing them so I may be wrong.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but it looks like there's a new gang in VCS. Or, it's an earlier Streetwannabes.

I did notice that pic phreak and from the way they are dressed, the gang looks like a latino street gang. They sort of remind me of the Rifas in San Fiero. I'm just getting that vibe but I could be wrong. LCS had the Sindaccos as a new gang so why not have a new one in VC?
On an after thought, I think this gang could be the Cubans. A few gangs got an updated look in LCS so in VCS it shouldn't be any different.
Looks like a hispanic gang to me, ya, it's new addition. Streetwannabe's were much different with their costumes.

I'm more interested in what weapons they have. It looked like shotguns at first but on closer inspection it definately is not. I think they are wooden bats with barbed wire around them if i'm not mistaken. Also looking at that big flash above the door. It could possibly mean that building is enterable as iv'e seen them in other screenshots and various clips. Such as the Trailer Park Mafia and Military ones. OR they could be mission markers.
That flashy things looks more like a bulb to me, luminating the house. The entry marker for an enterable building should be looking like this...

I'm pretty sure that the early enterable sign must have been the light bulb thing. Because it's on the front of a Trailer in the trailer park. And on the front of a building in the military base.
Off-Topic: I wonder if your aloud to just wander into the army barracks in any old clothes or if you have to be wearing the clothes with camo pants.
People wearing civil dresses can enter the area, in that sense, Vic shouldnt be able to enter. But I dont know what R*'s thought on it.

Anyone notice the type of gun Vic' was holding? It looks different than the typical 9mm.
victim

I noticed in Liberty City Stories they changed the 9mm into a Glock (or something I dont know guns too well)
So I would expect they change it again to fit this time period.

That pistol looks like a variant of Beretta handguns.

At the start of the trailer in the black shirt/vest looks like phil (next to the guy dressed in the army uniform)

That guy is Phil, no doubt.

If you look closely you can also see Phil has Handlebars.
I dont have a very good photo of it but Im pretty sure he does. It could be just the way his mouth is shaped though.
Haha! Yeah, his moustache is quite similar as James Hetfield used to have (I am not sure if he still has it though).

This isnt a clue to who will be in the game, or anything else posted in here, but right after the car explosion you see bullets hit the ground looking very realistic, much better than other GTAs.

I noticed also that on The Main Website (Not the trailer just posting here). That in the Trailer Park Mafia section when Jenny Mitchell is saying "I need a Bump," You can faintly here the Vercetti gang in the background saying "Why am I to blame," which is one of their quotes from VC. I dont know what this is meant to mean. Maybe R* are trying to tell us that The Vercetti gang all resided in The Trailer Park before Tommy comes along.
Well I heard her saying 'I am serious, I really need to burp'. :s
victim
09-10-2006, 06:07 AM
Well thats probably what she says then. But can you hear the Vercetti gang guys?
The voice in the background seemed to come from her fellow TV crew.
I couldnt think so far, like you, that would be someone from vercetti gang. ;P

Looks like the same old bullets to me.

Although I have been noticing there is alot more fire (or whatever term it is) coming from the spout of guns which is a great addition for a game set in the 80's.
For instance:
http://pspmedia.ign.com/psp/image/article/731/7318 87/grand-theft-auto-vice-city-stories-20060908055322679.jpg
Seems to be really cool.
Wow, that's alot of fire! :) Looks pretty cool imo.
VCS looks pretty good, the faces and explosions look alot better than San Andreas.
