It's tough to argue that the 1980s were anything but a strange decade. Michael Jackson wore red leather jackets scarred with zippers, popular music reeked of sappy discontent, and hairspray was shamelessly applied in an attempt to defy nature, gravity, and good fashion taste. This will be a great game but the question is "How did it come out so fast?"

While we don't know much about the new GTA, we can confirm that it will be exclusive to the PS2 and will (hopefully) be released at the end of this year. In fact, Rockstar and Sony shook hands on a deal that will keep the GTA franchise a PlayStation-exclusive through 2004.

We can also confirm that this is not a sequel. That should be obvious, since it's set in the '80s and takes place in a pseudo-Miami (whereas GTA3's Liberty City was a NY/Chicago mix). The music will be ramped up - and we suspect plenty of new commercials are on the way. As for the vehicles, we've found out that both helicopters and motorcycles will be available this time--not to mention some phat Lamborghini clones. A lot of the characters from GTA3 will also be showing up...Vice City is apparently a prequel to GTA3, though Rockstar won't confirm it.
