Oblivion-X Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 After knowing taht vinnie (character of GTA Advance) will be in the game then appears a new character (Kazuki Kasen) that is the older brother of Asuka and Kenji...in Gta Advance there was a girl named Yuka that was asuka's niece, looks like characters of Gta Advance were important after all what do u guys think ?

saintdave Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Well yeah, as GTA Advance is set a year after LCS, R* are tying the whole story in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrhus Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Are you sure that it's Vinnie from GTA: Advance? The only place I've heard that is here so I don't think it's been confirmed it seems more like speculation. In GTA: LCS Salvatore Leone has a man called Vincenzo Cilli watch over Toni so could the "Vinnie" that magazines have mentioned be Vincenzo as opposed to Vinnie from GTA: Advance?

ThE GtA PrInCe Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Vinnie and Vincenzo Cilli are different people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrhus Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Vincenzo can be shortened to Vinnie. And I never said that they were the same person. Edited September 17, 2005 by Pyrrhus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintdave Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Vinnie and Vincenzo Cilli are different people No they are the same person, check the IGN update for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrhus Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I don't see any resemblance between the two to be honest although it is kind of hard to compare the 3D model in GTA: LCS and the artwork in GTA: Advance. That said, I don't think they are the same person. I think that the Vinnie who is mentioned in the magazines that described some of GTA: LCS' missions is Vincenzo Cilli and not the Vinnie from GTA: Advance. I guess we'll find out who's right when the game releases next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivion-X Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 well im posting images of the characters so u guys can compare Mike (the main character)- Vinnie- 8-Ball- Jonnie- King Courtney- Cisco- Yuka- Asuka- you guys should play it the story isn't bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamslice Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 yea to be honest vincenzo and vinnie COULD be the same guy, if in two years time he has grown a little moustache and died his hair, but most likely they're different dudes not exactly a shortage of guys named vinnie in the mafia, methinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintdave Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 As I said in my earlier post the new IGN info confirms Vicenzo is Vinne, here - Vincenzo Cilli aka Vinnie When Toni left Liberty City Vincenzo "Lucky" Cilli was still getting drinks for the made guys in Leone bars and poker rooms. His good looks, eduation and smooth demeanor quickly caught the eye of Don Salvatore, though, and he has risen through the ranks quickly in the last couple years. Now on the fast track to being Consigliere, in Toni's absence he has amassed a significant amount of power and influence in the family. With Toni back, Sal is putting Vinnie in charge of keeping him busy. An inveterate ladies man, at heart Vinnie seems only interested in himself. Despite this his unusual lucky streak has made him a favorite of the Don's. Sal's decision to pair him up with Toni will surely lead to some serious fireworks.

wathombe Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 IMO, the IGN info only confirms that Vencenzo is nicknamed Vinnie, not that he is the same Vinnie from GTA Advance. Then again, I couldn't stomach GTA Advance for more than about 30 minutes before yanking it out of my GBA, so I'm not the best source... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamslice Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 true that wathombe.... gave me a headache and it had reaaally dry dialogue I have since read the script, and one of the bosses seems pretty funny, but I am not playing long enough to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanHenry Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yeah Vincenzo Cilli is Vinnie from GTA:Advance because this Vinnie from GTA:Advance and GTA:LCS has connections to the mafia and when Mike works for Vinnie for the mafia it is at mommas restaurant which is leone mafia territory.

Asif Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 ^Isnt she the only daughter of Kazuki Kasen? As you know, in GTA Advance, she was introduced as niece to Asuka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamslice Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 yes, but before Kazuki was known to exist I'd think most people assumed she was Kenji's daughter I know I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrrhus Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yeah Vincenzo Cilli is Vinnie from GTA:Advance because this Vinnie from GTA:Advance and GTA:LCS has connections to the mafia and when Mike works for Vinnie for the mafia it is at mommas restaurant which is leone mafia territory. He doesn't have to be the same Vinnie to have connections to the Mafia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpetDweller Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Am I wrong in thinking that the guy that used to answer Luigi's door in GTA3 was called Mike? If he was then it is extremely doubtful that he is the same one from GTAadvance. So it's possible that there could also have been 2 Vinnies in the Leone Mafia. I hope it's the same Vinnie in both though. I never played advance but I've read the script. I wondered if they'd consider remaking it in 3D for the PSP, but then they might worry about having a child in the game. Maybe if she was a cutscene only character.

saintdave Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 No it's just Mick, and according to carpets GTA timeline, Mike left Liberty after GTA Advance, and from going big time, with money to a bodyguard makes no sense. And Vicenzo is Vinnie, why cant we just accept that, R* would be stupid to put 2 characters in the game called Vinnie, it would just confuse people.

Hmmm that must be another Vinnie from another GTA then, oh wait there was no other Vinnie's apart from the Vinnie in GTA Advance, plus if you have played/read the story of GTA Advance, Vinnie works for the mafia/leone family. I'd bet any money it's the same man. Edited September 22, 2005 by saintdave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asif Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Why in hell R* will want to create two different 'Vinnie' for Leone family ? Characters from 3d world such Asuka, King Courtney made their appearance on GBA, so why the character 'Vinnie' cant reveal himself on the 3D world? GTA LCS may answer the question what did make Vinnie feel so insecure that he wanted leave the mob life for good in the early storyline of GTA Advance?

There are three different mafia families in Liberty City and I don't recall Vinnie actually saying that he works for the Leones specificially. GTA LCS may answer the question what did make Vinnie feel so insecure that he wanted leave the mob life for good in the early storyline of GTA Advance? If Vincenzo is infact Vinnie from GTA: Advance, it could be that he decided to leave mafia-life because Salvatore Leone appointed Toni Cipriani as his capo to replace Vinnie.

Jamslice Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 at LEAST 3 families Vinnie wasn't in the mafia by the way...he had mafia connections or some'at, he just did odd jobs for them hardly the same as being some sort of lieutenant to salvatore leone (and I suspect toni will kill vincenzo in LCS anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
