Vice

[Grand Theft Auto Dude]

Thanks to everyone for your help. I won't be able to update the first post for a while, as I got a PS3 for Christmas and I've been playing it all the time. I'm typing this from my PS3, so this won't be a very long message (It's a painful process), but once I get time I'll update the first post.

I think it would be nice if the R* made a game kinda like a guy ricthe movie (snatch/lock, stock,and 2 smoking barrel/rocknrolla) Stupid, Funny, and Gangster Characters. so your in london and do a few missions until you find/steal a diamond. then you go to vice city and have a jolly ole' time. until the real owner of the diamond tracks u down and comes to vc. then he tries to take you down.

 

After the story mode,

(Like in San Andreas) u were able to buy plane tickets to fly anywhere in SA. so i think it would be cool to be able to fly back and forth from London and VC and Vc to london. but it would be rather costy.

 

London Is Not That Big

 

Then Vice City Can Only Have the First Island all the way to right, Star Fish Island, Leaf Links, Prawn Island.

Your House Can Be a Washington Beach Apartment, a Prawn island Mansions, Or a Starfish Island Mansion.

 

Clues? A Website In GTAIV On Tips For Tourist Visiting London.

Another? Someone From Rockstar also Thought It Would Be To Have A GTA London Guy Richie Style.

Nah, I'd say stick with it just being Vice City.

 

On that note, I have a few songs to add.

 

V-Rock:

Public Image Ltd. || Seattle

Pink Floyd || Brain Damage

 

Can't believe this topic fell to the 2nd page.

the reggea/hip hop/rnb tracklist really sucks...it really shows that u dont got no taste for music or dont know music....on the reggae there should be Stephen Marley and Ky-Mani Marley because both of the live in Miami and also a lil Damian...."Welcome to Jamrock" should be there....but im afraid the hip hop station is gonna suck so much balls when it comes to Miami rap because all the wackest rappers lives there...only one who is keepin it a lil real is Rick Ross....I bet if they make a GTA VC II the DJ is gonna be DJ Khaled and have bunch of gay joints with Rick Ross, Flo Rida, Pitbull and the "Im So hood" and "Make it rain" joints f*ck...........i hope that on the old school hip hop its gonna be bunch of 2 Live Crew!

Uh, f*ck off?

 

And just because it would be set in a Miami knockoff doesn't mean that all of the rap songs will be by artists from Miami.

 

And I believe you meant to say "It really shows that you lack a good musical taste or you just don't know music.", which in itself is a contradictory statement because good music is just a matter of opinion, not fact.

[AjaxWarrior]

Dude! You have come up with some great stuff there! I could easily take that for a real GTA game. Man i want a revamped, modern Vice City! Hell yeah!

[QwertyAAA]

bump bump bumpity bump again.

Now with a list of possible sidemissions.

 

Possible Sub-Missions

 

 

 

Now here’s the thing – yesterday I was OD’d on coffee. So, some of these things may not seem logical, like the three (!) car delivery missions. Bear with me. I wrote down this list and then saved it as a msg draft.

 

Kay.

 

Vigilante

Your basic Vigilante missions. I am not sure whether it’d be GTAIII, VCS, or IV style, but all are great.

 

Army Vigilante

Can only be activated in an army vehicle – whatever they are in this case. The enemies are more plentiful, have better weapons and cars, and sometimes use helicopters to get away.

 

Brown Thunder

Sort of like every single Hunter Vigilante missions, however, it can be activated in either the Hunter or the Annihilator from IV. The enemies use all sorts of vehicles – cars, bikes, helicopters, and boats.

 

Ambulance

Your basic 3-patients-per-car mission. An ‘Air Rescue’ version exists, essentially the same as in VCS.

 

Firefighter

Same thing as the Firefighter missions in GTA III. A ‘Fire Copter’ version exists, basically the same as in VCS, but with burning cars too.

 

Exports

Your basic CAFI or Export Garages. Five lists, five cars per list, all quite hard to find. Finishing the Exports mission unlocks a Boat Export Garage, which is one more list with seven boats on it. When that is done, you get a permanent reward of some sort.

 

Sports Vehicles Lists

Like Sunshine Autos, but with sports cars only, I guess. And bikes. And 4x4s. The rewards are money and unique cars.

 

Car Theft

Like Stevie’s Cars, but more interesting. The wanted cars are always unique (Paint job, special grills, rims, etc) before bringing them to the garage, but after that, they appear on the streets. There are two types of Car Theft missions – one type where you have to steal that one parked car, and another type where you have to hunt down the car.

 

Random Characters

Same as in IV. Nothing more to say.

 

Special/Random Encounters

Now this stuff is interesting. It works like in Fallout: A sports car may speed up, do the PIT maneuver to stop you, and two undercover FBI agents will get out and start shooting at you. However, the chances of that happening are so slim that a player would be lucky to see that happen 3 times in one playthrough. And other special encounters would be completely unique – a smoking plane may fall down from the sky, land on a busy street, and crash into a hundred-something cars before coming to a stop and exploding – and after you have seen that happen, it will never happen again.

 

Phone Assassinations

You come up to a phone and you receive a target and/or a time limit. You gotta kill the right person without attracting (much) police attention. Simple.

 

Vice Sights

Two types of missions, again. One of them is a Vice Sights-type mission like in VCS, and another one is exactly the same as See The Sight Before Your Flight in LCS.

Races

Basically just multi-stage races in boats, cars, bikes, and helicopters.

 

Stunt Races

Accessible only in stuntplanes. It’s your basic race, but! the checkpoints are hard to get through, so you have to do intricate stunts to win.

 

Courier

I am not so sure about this one. I’d have to say it’d be like Pizza Boy or something.

 

Dock Missions

Uh, you’re trying to smuggle crates of something. Car parts, cocaine, guns, whatever it is, it’s there. And the types of missions are:

- Loading the crates with a forklift

- Fighting off enemy gangs that are trying to steal the stuff

- Actually going out and trying to buy whatever you’re smuggling, then getting chased by the cops

- Being the decoy while someone else is trying to smuggle the crates

- Stealing a truck to transport the crates

- Stealing a shipment of guns/coke/cars

 

Prostitution

Exactly the same as in SA and VCS.

 

Extortion?

I am not so sure about this one… Only if it’d tie in with the story.

 

Taxi

Do I need to explain it?

 

RC missions

For the lulz. Your normal RC plans, helis, tanks, and cars - out on the streets.

 

Additional storyline missions

Something like a storyline mission, but with the 'difficulty' knob cranked up to 14. Also, maybe something like replaying missions from another character's POV?

 

Other stuff

Well, collection. I'm thinking, 50 bags of drugs, 50 [buoys?], and 50 weapons stashes.

Also, lots of other smaller missions.

Checkpoint races against time?

Also, maybe a mission where you control a Seaspar and have to destroy 5 other choppers?

 

 

 

Tweaks to the original post:

-Add 'helicopters' to the transport section.

-Specify that you can only buy the 1000$ phone after you get your second one.

-Add the M60 to the Heavy Weapons.

-Maybe bonus 100% completion weapons? Like this one, for instance. Or silver-plated assault rifles.

i would love the next GTA to be like Vice city again, has anyone seen CSI: Miami, seriously Miami is beautiful

[QwertyAAA]

Anybody? GTADude?

[ObsydianRaven]

An idea for a gang.

 

Name: The Vice City Irish Mafia

 

Leader: John Picardy

 

Description: A gang that consist of irish immagrents and people of Irish decent. They're members are mostly found roaming around their main territory, the Picardy Country Club, they also have territories located around the Escobar International Airport and Vice Port. Members wear green tuxedos.

 

Weapons: Members use Pistols, Tech-9s and sometimes AK-47s.

[nufc-niko]

Brilliant. I'm truly inspired. Try to make some box art. That would be truly amazing...

[Sanjeem]

looks great although oviously i would make up my own story line and characters to my own likeing but if that was the vice city that was going to be made...id be thrilled!

[Grand Theft Auto Dude]

Anybody? GTADude?

Once I get the time, I'm going to make a new topic with all of the new ideas, and a new story tied more to the events of GTA IV. I completed the story about a week ago, and now I have a much better idea for the story.

 

Thanks everyone for your help!

[Cammad]

I really hope the people from rockstar reads this because it sounds like a truly awesome version of GTA, i especially like the fact that you have Niko and Packie involved, maybe Tommy could be involved somewhere in the game or at least mentioned so we can see what happened to him because he didnt leave Vice City the first time did he ?

[Vanilla Shake]

I hate to rain on your parade, but I don't think Tommy would even be mentioned because these new GTA games are trying to set up a new storyline with brand new characters, and the closest they'll go to bringing back old characters would be bringing back radio DJs from past games (like Lazlow), because they were never major parts of the storyline in past games.

[Cammad]

I do agree with leaving old characters out but at the end of Vice City Tommy has wiped out his competition and is the drug king of Vice City so you would have to explain where he went even if its on a radio station saying thats its an anniversary of his death or something like that, but i love the story line thats been done none the less.

Let me Google that for you, eh?

[ObsydianRaven]

I have an idea for a radio station.

 

Name: The Vice Beat

 

Genre: Mainstream Rap and Hip Hop

 

Playlist:

 

T.I-What Ever You Like

 

Chris Brown-Forever

 

 

 

Kanye West-Stronger

 

Chris Brown ft T-Pain-Kiss Kiss

 

Savage-Swing

 

Shop Boyz-Party Like A Rockstar

 

Timberland-The Way I Are

 

 

 

Snoop Dog-Sensual Seduction

 

NOTE: I only added these songs because it'd be more accurate depicting modern radio.

Roflmao , when I saw it I was thinking it's mod for Vice City Damn , this would be awesome GTA game. But 25/27 Missions ?! Hell-f*cking-no. I want 320 missions

[Semaj Nodnarb]

Looks good but why have the M4 and the M16 together. They are so similar.

Wow, I didn't realise I had both in there. Thanks.

I'm glad this got bumped back to the top. It never got the attention it deserves.

Nice work on that big new VC rundown

 

Seeing how well they differed IV from III, a more realistic and naturally laid out vice city may work, as long as it's present day, I'm not too familiar with real Florida but some elevated areas of the map would be nice, old VC was awfully flat

In this case I would demand a Horatio Crane-like character, complete with glasses and one liners, he can be the Brucie of VC.

 

*Would be really cool if we had more buildings to enter, and without them being duplicates of other bars/clubs on the inside, I got disappointed by Lucky Winkles in IV etc.

*Press a button to sit in a chair (Rockstar could put this in a patch for IV?, but they won't.)

*Be able to pick up all kinds of objects within reason (cannot even pick up umbrellas and brooms in IV...)

*Return of silenced pistol, and keep the Combat Pistol/Desert Eagle at all cost, perhaps bring back the revolver too. (harpoon gun anyone? could use it to clothesline people on bikes by shooting it into a wall across the road!)

*Naturally, more vehicles (note that the total vehicle count doubled from III to VC and from VC to SA).

*Be able to mod cars again I guess, on par with Street Rod 2?)

*Hidden cars, weapons, outfits (oh yeah, bigger range of clothes please!) & easter eggs.

 

[Pamm]

I like your story, and the idea of an modern Vice City, even if the rags to riches thing has already been done and used.

 

Although the deal and revenge ending does seem a bit too pointless that there might aswell only be one ending. In GTA IV you had either Roman's death or Kate's death, whereas in this you can choose either ending and still come out with the the money and remain in Vice City.

 

Also, how about a radio station similar to Radio Broker? Maybe called Radio Havana?

[Vanilla Shake]

Just to pump some more interest into this, I'm going to post my expanded version of GTA Dude's map.

[Booyacasha]

I like to alot to be honest the only thing i would say remove is the flame thrower i just coudn't imagine R* making it.

Did you put radio stations in? i forgot if you havvent do so now i say!!!! lol

If the next GTA is indeed set in Vice and the map is anyway similar to that, I will be a very f*ckin happy person.

 

Very good topic.

You can legally own a M2 flamethrower(the one used in world war 2) in 40 states. So whats unrealistic about it. I think all that fire and burning people would look amazing with the graphics. As long as there isn't a Minigun almost anything is realistic.
