Phil Colins, the 80's superstar, is lending his face and voice to the upcoming PSP exclusive Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
As you can see in the new video, Phil Collins will be a main part of Vice City Stories' single-player campaign. Rockstar also unveiled 24 tracks in the game, like Run DMC's It's Like That and of course Philip Bailey and Phil Collins with Easy Lover.
There's far more to GTA's heritage than the same three games every time.
Vice City Stories is actually my favourite GTA by far. Just a great story and the best soundtrack of all the games. Especially VCPR radio station, some of those shows were absolute comedy genius.
Yeah the humour was at least up there with VC even in the cutscenes, and as you said great music also.
Man I'd love that game updated in today's rate engine. Even on PC to this day the frame rate is tied with some gameplay mechanics press space bar to climb onto a truck or back into the chopper during the final chase is impossible because the game running above 30 fps ties the speed you need to press space in with the frame rate so 60 to some 230ps capable monitors mean you need to be the flash to complete it and that bug persists to this day even after rockstar re released the complete edition on PC last year.
Yeah.
It's sad just how crap that port was.
The fact they got away with that and never fixed it is ridiculous. It's borderline unplayable on many rigs.
It's a huge disappointment that in 2021 still the only legal way to play VCS is via PSP, PS2 disc or PSV / PS3 backwards compatibility.
Despite re released of the mainline games GTA 3 vc Sa on android and iOS even LCS got an iOS port we can't play VCS anywhere on a modern system.
Bioware is a shell of its former self. Blizzard is imploding. Rockstar turned into one of the biggest shill companies in gaming and barely ever release games.
This is why I'm tuning more and more to indies and AA studios almost entirely when it comes to what I'm playing.
Speaking of, I've been pretty hooked on a little known Roguelike action platformer called Fury Unleased. Games addicting, and can typically be had for dirt cheap, apparently. Also has online co-ol It even has a workshop where people contributed a lot of awesome/hilarious faces you can use for your character.
Funny you say that most of these giant companies were really just Indies that stumbled onto a great idea.
Rockstar took gta3 to E3 and almost no one cared it didn't get them any attention until it actually released.
So really any indie studio can be the next big thing but it's hard for huge studios to keep momentum over time think how Ubisoft and EA because their investors want sequels of proven IP's which stiffles innovation.
I remember when GTA 3(D) was announced, I was hyped. I had the first 2 on PS1 and when I heard there was going to be a 3D edition, I was surprised. Stl hoping for a 3D Hotline Miami!!
Seeing as new titles are taking 5 years+ to push out at this stage...to be honest, R*'s games are so good I'd happily see most of their catalogue get remasters. This could be a nice gauge to prove to them that we still want a new Midnight Club, Bully etc.
Also, I would love to play GTA IV again. I f always adored it but I find that people appreciate it a lot more nowadays.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Along with this, there have always been franchises which are heavily associated with PlayStation, whether it be helping to shape the console’s demographic (such as Tomb Raider), or simply appearing on every piece of Sony hardware available (WipEout). These tend to be the system sellers that people look for when investing in a platform, even if the specific series have shifted and rarely stayed consistent like Halo or Mario.
Vita is unfortunately the first Sony system which never really took off and its tepid hardware sales meant that multiple franchises which would have been a shoe-in for any other piece of PlayStation hardware haven’t appeared – it’s these series that I’m going to look at in this article (what they were; where they originally appeared; how well they’d have worked on the console; and potential alternatives which are available on the platform). They’ve been part of a vicious circle – not appearing on Vita because of weak sales, but stalling the handheld even further by not showing up."
Woulda done a lot better with exclusives like that. Also God of War, Souls, Syphon Filter, R&C.
I'd love to see a spec refresh, faster CPU/GPU.
However you game, celebrity cameos can always make the experience more interesting. Here is Bit Culture's Top 10 Celebrity Cameos In Video Games.
Phill collins!?!
argh
anyone remember the Timmy 2000 episode of south park with phill? maybe they are aiming this at ritalin users...
waiting for gta 4, if they re=release this on PS2 i will probably play it on my PS3 as I cant handle GTA on a handheld , it doesnt feel the same as a console.
