Title: VCS News Roundup


DGM - September 18, 2006 04:06 PM (GMT)
It's been quite busy for news on Vice City Stories, these last couple of days. A new magazine previews has been published, including some very cool details, exclusive screenshots are cropping up on sites around the net and even a slightly different trailer was spotted. So here's a quick news roundup to get you up-to-date:

PSM Preview:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Details:
  • A new Mini-game sees Victor playing golf. It first appears in a mission called "Homes on the Range", and after completion, you will be able to return and play it as a side mission on its own.

  • Another new feature "Empire Building", allows you to take over a number of businesses around Vice City

  • These businesses are owned by rival gangs. When you take over a business from a gang, this gang will become a rival.

  • As you progress through story mode, you will encounter several scenarios where you must take over a certain business. This is very similar to gang territory in GTA: San Andreas.

  • From time to time, your business will be attacked - this will be notified via Vic's pager. You can hire bodyguards to defend it and prevent it from being retaken.

  • There are six types of businesses you can run. Three of named ones are, protection, extortion and prostitution.

  • When a business has been taking over, it will generate money which you can pick up throughout the course of the game. Each business will also act as a safehouse.

  • "After taking down a business and setting up your own, your building will construct in real time!"

  • Location of your business is key to how much income you will take. For instance, "if you're running a smuggling racket, placing it by the docks is a good move."

^Hell yeah! :D

Actually taking over business sounds like The Godfather, but well..the game is about gangs/mafia, some similiar things are unavoidable~

But it sounds pretty awesome, and seems better than The Godfather~

Thanks for the news!~
