Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / March 2007VCS: Warping to east island
After walking around the sewer pipe and having Cholos mess with me, it worked. Took about 5 minutes. What triggered it was me walking towards the fence(east?) and boom, the "welcome to vice city" screen came up. So I spent a good 3 hours getting 92 out of 99 balloons popped. :) The remaining ones needed a sniper rifle due to range. Yes, I used the gamefaqs map. I felt bad about it, but.... I took a boat back to my 1st island with a whole bunch of weapons at my service. > After walking around the sewer pipe and having Cholos mess with me, it > worked. Took about 5 minutes.

No helicopter? A Maverick will just about fit in the Bayshore Avenue safehouse but it's a PITA trying to get it in and out all the time.

I tried again today, but no luck. I did see a video of some chap doing the warp you mean, I think it might have been fixed in the PS2 version (IIRC the video clearly shows the PSP version). > That I did not know.

Only buy an Empire site that you've already completed the missions for. On the western island the only missions you can access for an Empire site are prostitution, loan sharking and protection. Do NOT be greedy and try to take over the 28 sites that you could claim, it'll totally screw your game up. > No helicopters spawned at all. Go to the police HQ at Washington Beach (It's really easy to find) and a VCPD Maverick always spawns on the roof. By the way, has anyone else noticed that the vehicles in VCS seem to spawn a lot quicker than in previous games? There also seems to a much shorter distance for re-spawned vehicles too. Do one of the PCJ playground missions and travel a block down the road. 99% of the time there'll be a fresh PCJ waiting for you. <That said, I *really* hate VCS for deleting your user vehicles when you watch an opening mission cutscene. Some missions are really easy when you have a helicopter, and the game will hate you for it).

It wasn't fixed in the PS2 version, for I was able to do the warp a first time. I just wish I knew the sweet spot. > By the way, has anyone else noticed that the vehicles in VCS seem to > spawn a lot quicker than in previous games?

I dropped a PCJ off near the medical center, and did levels 11-15 in paramedic. The PCJ stayed there the whole time. A 2nd ambulance showed up after a short time. Yet, un-garaged vehicles disappear if you do a save at your 1st safehouse. Taxis seem to disappear once you walk away from them and turn your head away. > <That said, I *really* hate VCS for deleting your user vehicles when > you watch an opening mission cutscene.

Put it on the street, and it often will leave it be. Case in point: you'll see the vehicle in the occasional outdoor cutscenes. In "hose the hoes", I could see the firetruck I parked right on the street to save time. |
