Jay-d Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 The new edition of the U.K magazine PSW has "shocking" first pictures and information on the ps2 port of Gran Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. I myself havent bought this, but if anyone else has could they scan the article at all? I havent seen the pics or info on any other website so I have my doubts.

Jay-d Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ok how do you know this? I'm guessing a friend told you, or you saw it at another forum. How do I know what? That the Magazine has this info? Because I picked it up today to have a look at it and on the back it says "PS2 GTA SHOCKING FIRST PICS AND AMAZING INFO"(or words to that effect) With a single shot of it and the GTA logo next to it.

TheSpillCanvas Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Wrong section. This would belong under the General Discussion section of Liberty City Stories, I'm pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobuyoshi2 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 sounds like bullsh*t to me because by now some one would of bought the magazine, scanned it, uploaded the pictures and posted them. I checked the other gta forums and also checked google but there is no mention of this anywhere so it's most likely bullsh*t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobuyoshi2 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 you'd think there would be at least one person in the uk who could be bothered to scan and upload the articles/photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpetDweller Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I think most people here know that there's nothing in a magazine that doesn't appear a day later on a forum, so they save their money. Of course this relies on not EVERYONE having learned that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriaan Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Well I read up and it says that the latest issue was available at news stands since February 3. Surely by now someone would have posted it.... Let's just wait a few hours and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriaan Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I just noticed something: The person who started this topic said it was in PSW. Although funkychunky said it was in OPM. So we're talking about two different magazines here now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're talking about two different magazines here now..... It must be PSW magazine, as I got the recent Official Playstation and it mainly covers th new 24 game, has details revealing LCS is coming to PS2 but that's it. I'll look for PSW mag tommorow and get some pics taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanillainy Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Thats what i meant, it has info in OPM that TD is scanning, not sure if they are ps2 screenies though. They look like the psp ones to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintdave Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 They are not PS2 pics in the Official Playstation Magazine, they are PSP. As I said earlier just things they wish and hope are in the PS2 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-d Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 sounds like bullsh*t to me because by now some one would of bought the magazine, scanned it, uploaded the pictures and posted them. I checked the other gta forums and also checked google but there is no mention of this anywhere so it's most likely bullsh*t No i was not Bullsh*tting. The article was described as having first pics and info. The magazine was PSW and the reason I didnt buy it was because it wasnt splashed across the front cover, therefore I assumed that it would been given a sh*tty little half page feature article. I also thought somebody in the forum would have bought it and stuck it on t'net, obviously I was wrong. My scanners f*cked anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintdave Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) I got PSW today, there are PS2 pics of LCS, but they are nothing special, just some familiar shots, like Toni with a gun, drive by pic, etc. No details of info, just things they would like in the game. I could scan the pics if they are really wanted but as I say they are nothing special. On second thought, may aswell post them - There are a few more but they are on the fold of the magazine.

Adriaan Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Ok yeah I just found out that PSW uses the screens that was given to magazines and online websites during the pre-game of LCS on the PSP. So could you rather give us the info that's written in the article? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintdave Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 This is the article from PSW magazine - PS2 LIBERATED! Ready yourself for another PS2-based trip to Liberty City. Rockstar has announced that a PS2 version of LCS is in the works and will be released later this year. While it’s not quite the pants-dampening GTA news we were hoping for, we’ll bank on the game proving to be more than a mere stopgap title to keep us amused until news of a next-gen step forward for the series emerges. After all, the PSP version wasn’t just a bite-sized complement to the previous PS2 games; it was great in its own right and moving it to PS2 will only improve the experience. What we’ll likely get is a buffed-up version of the game with new features included to bring it more into line with the previous three PS2 versions. So, what can we expect to see on our third visit to Liberty City? Well, the few complaints that were levelled at LCS were to do with the compromises it had to make due to the limitations of the PSP. The main grumbles concerned multiple button presses to control the camera, no planes or helicopters and a smaller overall map compared to the epic San Andreas. Expect all of this to be addressed by the genius game makers at Rockstar North. Bigger maps, new missions and even new characters are in the works. Music has always been an important feature in GTA games, and while the soundtrack to LCS was impressive, it wasn’t huge. With more space to play with on PS2, that’ll change, and we should see a track list at least as lengthy as those of the previous non-portable GTA games. Also, loading times will probably cease to exist and free-flowing driving between districts is a given. That’s just for starters. It’ll be interesting to see exactly what Rockstar does to surprise us and keep the series fresh. New vehicles, a new plot or new weapons? We’ll have more exclusive screens and footage next month as well as news on those ‘surprise’ extras Rockstar are so good at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpetDweller Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Thanks Dave, it's good to finally see what all the fuss was about. It's all pure speculation obviously. I think that's all we can expect for at least another month. With absolutely no info to go on the magazines are just trying to increase the hype around the game so that when they do get proper news, they'll slap it all across the cover so that the expectant fans will rush out and buy it. I'm very eager to see how R* releases this title because it seems... A - they can't release exactly as it was on PSP without severely reducing the price or releasing it as an expansion pack to GTA3. B - The can't just add all the SA features because it would put it on a similar level with SA and the small map and restrictions would make it look like a downstep in comparison to SA. C - If they completely overhaul it by making the missions longer, more interiors, customisable clothes and hair and much bigger playing area without load screens so it is equal to SA, then it would just seem a weird thing for the "trilogy" to do. It doesn't seem that it was part of the plan. Are they going to do that for all PSP GTA games? I'm interested to see how they tackle this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
