Game News - GTA: Vice City Stories Confirmed For PS2

   I'm sure that everyone has seen this one coming for weeks, or even months, since the first "Stories" variation for the PlayStation Portable - GTA: Liberty City Stories - also ended up on the PlayStation 2. And with the release of GTA: Vice City Stories on the PSP last October, it was only a matter of time before Rockstar Games acknowledged that a PS2 version is also in development. Which, as Gamespot tells us, they just did:
"Rockstar shocked very few by saying that it is porting its PSP hit Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories to the PlayStation 2. The lack of surprise came following several unconfirmed reports that an entry for the PS2 VCS had appeared on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board's Web site. However, the claim was unverifiable because no such listing was in the ESRB site's database (for long, anyway). Currently, the site still only lists the PSP VCS."    The same goes for the official GTA: VCS website, actually, which only lists the PSP logo at the moment. Nevertheless, the PS2 version of Vice City Stories is just a month away from release. In North America, the game will hit retail on March 6, and in Europe on March 9. No price has yet been set for the PS2 port, but considering that history has a nasty habit of repeating itself, we can expect it to be priced as a budget game at $19.99, like the PS2 port of Liberty City Stories.

   Earlier this week Rockstar broke the news in a much more surprising way, by announcing the Manhunt 2 sequel, currently in development for the Wii, PlayStation 2 And PSP.
