I don't see this getting GOTY honestly, sure its good, but it's coming out on a console that is horrible compared to it's competitor's specs. Also Sony has already started planning the release of the PoS3. When will this moronically planned and intellectually challenged company get it through its thick head that you need to PERFECT one system before going on to another ****ty, half-assed idea.
Oh yeah, GTA Vice City will be cool, don't get me wrong. Rockstar is a good company, perhaps a little to intent on being rude, filthy and down right offensive, but they make solid games that are relatively glitch-free.
Go Rock Star... go far, far away from the sinking stone (Sony) you currently have tied to your leg.

Justin, you obviously have no clue whats going on in the console world. Sony already has an excellent system on their hands with the ps2, sales figures alone prove that point. If you compare rockstars/sony's releationship to a sinking stone then you should get your head examined. If you haven't heard grand theft auto 3 was the best selling console game of 2001 and this game will probably sell just as well if not better. Yes sony is already planning the release of the ps3, but I wouldn't be shocked if nintendo or microsoft are already planning their next systems.
The movie doesn't really give alot of info on gameplay but some additions to the game include
1.Improved AI
2.40 weapons, 120 vehicles (including helicopters and such)
3.The city is 2-2 and half times the size of the city in gta3.
4.Indoor areas, reworked character models, cleaner graphics, 9-10 hours of real music.
5.And alot more little things like jumping from moving cars, car tires can be blown out, etc, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if GTA:Vice gets a port to the pc around winter or spring. I'm also guessing that there will be no multiplayer.

Max Payne,
I totally agree with you, multiplayer on GTA would be quite annoying. What's the fun in playing a game with no rules against other people who also have no rules to abide by. This sounds to me like total PK on an MMORPG.
Sloose,
First off, I never said GTA:VC wouldn't be good. I also think it will be a very fun and interactive game.
However, as far as your remarks about sony being a good company, I have a few milestones for you. A few years back the Sega Dreamcast came out and revolutionized gaming, from AI to graphics; and then even into peripherals; and of course(The "new" thing now), online console play. Then some snot-nosed company who sold thousands of faulty systems to citizens around the world (The PS1, in many cases, had a flaw to where it crashed during cut scenes and FMVs. If you want proof, I'll send you a copy of the documents from the class-action lawsuit in which they ended up paying me, and many other victims, $25 to "reimburse" our $200.00 investment).

PSone aside, I might also add that 10%-15% of all PS2s are faulty to where the laser burns out in a matter of months of casual use. Aside from that, the company advertises and even flaunts the ability that you can sit it on its side in the vertical stand. This also causes the system to break over time and can even damage discs. Thirdly, after boasting their mighty proccessing speeds and textures over the dreamcast,(which were greatly exaggerated, PS2 can't even anti-alias like DC) they have now been completley over run by the XBox, which exceeds the PS2 by more than twice the value on EVERY spec, and still sells for the same price.
Speaking of Sales, I am sure that Sony DOES currently have the highest recorded amt of sales, they were snide and nasty over the American release of the system, promising more systems than they actually delivered. Also the PS2 has been out a year longer than the XBox or GC. The XBox however had the three FASTEST million seller titles among the current consoles, Halo, DoA3 and Project Gotham Racing.

Speaking of release titles, you may remember some "fabulous" PS2 release titles such as Evergrace(puke), Eternal Rings(puke puke), Smuggler's Run, and others that don't even deserve names. The only backer game-wise that sony has is its long-time friend, Square (who has really been trying to get back in good with Nintendo since the release of the GC), and Rockstar, who Sony had to pay to get to stick with them. Sony has proven to be a horrible first-party game maker (fantavision). Whereas, Microsft has certainly proved it's worth in this new frontier (Halo). Even Nintendo has kept their reputation as a great developer with their franchise favorites.
Then, as far as online goes, Xbox has already released a ton of games and updates (via the harddrive, another Xbox only feature) that allow for online play. Sony still hasn't released ONE online game. Remeber the Dreamcast? That one came with online capabilites, a dial-up modem AND web browsing software.
Well that about sums it up, Sony makes faulty hardware, speaks with forked tongue and makes horrible games. They don't even show one single FRICKEN OUNCE of concern for those who support them. So to all of you PS2 sony lapdogs, I leave you with one question:
If they don't give a rat's arse about you, why do you care so much for them??
