In 2001, millions of PlayStation®2 owners were introduced to the sights, sounds, people, and perils of Liberty City...
the worst place in America.

Chauffeuring Misty, carving persona non grata status for yourself all over Chinatown, providing sniping cover for
demolition expert 8-Ball, having quite an uncomfortable reunion with ex-flame Catalina...not to mention just generally exploring and wreaking havoc throughout the islands of Portland, Staunton Island, and Shoreside Vale...
Good times.

Now, in 2005, we proudly present a return to that not-so-warm-and-fuzzy place... all in the palm of your hand.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

A full-scale, all-new Grand Theft Auto epic coming exclusively to PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) system this October.

"We tell you from first-hand experience... this game will change portable gaming forever.
Say hello to the PSP's first killer app."
- PSM, October 2005

Today, we present the launch of the official Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories website.
Rifle through the Liberty Tree email inbox circa 1998. Three years prior to the events of Grand Theft Auto 3, thing's ain't any less unpleasant in the streets of L.C. Tons of exclusive new screenshots as well as video clips and more await.

Plus, the world premiere of the very first Liberty City Stories trailer in the MOVIES section.

Not any time soon. Come on, you can know a simple typo when you see one, can't you? He just made a typo!

Man, Liberty City Stories can be that one killer app that could send it's sales figure right through the roof. If I had the money, I surely would have been buying one as soon as this game is released, high prices be damned! GTA on the move! Now thats so tempting!!

Check the link. He clearly mentions that he is taking it as a pre-oder and the game would be delivered only when released.

Repeat after me: GTA: LCS is NOT for the PS2, but only for the PSP. Get your facts straight, navjot, first you say, exclusive to PSP2 then you say its for the PSP and PS2. As far as I know, its completely exclusive to the PSP.

Oh man, whats going on! I always thought GTA:LC was for PSP, then NS said it was for PS2, dude, no offense, but you shouldn't post half baked news here :? and while doing so you will get GTA Fans adrenalized! for a fake news that doesn't mean anything! :x

Sorry on my part. I was taken away from the first line and thought that maybe it will be ported to PS2 also. ALso PSP2 was purely a typo error. I did not wanted it to be a half baked news but it turned out to be one. Sorry.

Sorry if I seemed harsh, I wasn't trying to be. If the remark offended you, then I apologize, it was unintended. I was only trying to set the record straight, and there were TOO many posts talking about which platform the game was coming out for, when it should have been settled in the beginning itself. I just want this thread to talk about the game rather than an argument about which platform its out for over and over again. :) I hope you can understand.

Its Ok. Its cool now. Now we can move towards the topic.

Man, nobody here even owns a PSP, so it's kinda meaningless...

And What makes you say that Raj? Arent we here to discuss things be it anything related to technology and games, as a whole, in this section of the forums. The forum has its own first hands on review on the PSP from Deathdart and there are many others for sure owning the PSP. So If you thought no one owns a PSP in here, you have it misunderstood. Besides you dont need to have a PSP yourself to discuss things related with PSP. Everyone can be a part of the discussion. After all this is what, I mean the games with a particular handheld, which would make people get the PSP or be it any other handheld.

Nothing against you, I hope you get the point :)

I have a PSP, as Sourabh already stated, and I'm definitely getting GTA LCS for it! I'm so excited about it already! It's gonna be so much better than the games I've played already.

I didn't like the graphics of LCS all that much though. Metal Gear AC!D, Ridge Racer etc. have much better graphics.

^^^And that makes me jealous of you already! PSP was already giving me a heartburn and now PSP with GTA, ahhhhh! That's too much!!! :)

So have you pre-ordered it already?

I am in a bit of dark about the plot setting. All that I know is that it will be set a few years before the events of GTA3 but who actually is Tony Cippriani? Too lazy to check out it's site! :)

I just had a look at the screenshots and read some gameplay reviews. The game seems to play pretty good and from the latest screenshots I just saw at IGN, looks like it's graphics have been improved too.

And no, I haven't pre-ordered it. I'll be buying Burnout Legends in a few days and will order LCS from eBay after it releases.
