Tonight I have added a new stunt video and a load more mods to the database - according to the previous poll it's what you wanted to see more of. First of all the stunt video named 'One Step Beyond'. It's the latest stunt video by ZeroX, the newest member of the ATS stunting crew. Only a solo video this time but still worth the watch!

The reason ZeroX made a solo video is because he wanted to improve his editing skills and didn't have the time to do a whole vid worth of new stunts, which is why you may notice a couple of older stunts mixed in with the new ones. The editing turned out pretty good.

Download 'One Step Beyond' 50.74MB .wmv

And the new mods with both manual and .vcm versions for you, in no particular order:

1984 Porsche 911 Carrera - Manual :: VCM

1986 Jeep Cherokee - Manual :: VCM

Dodge Ram SRT-10 '04 - Manual :: VCM

Chrysler 300C '05 - Manual :: VCM

Toyota Supra '95 FnF - Manual :: VCM

Rancher FP-150 - Manual :: VCM

Peterbilt 379 - Manual :: VCM

Porsche 911 Twin Turbo '97 - Manual :: VCM

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI - Manual :: VCM

Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 - Manual :: VCM

Enjoy! This recent addition brings to over 500 mods in the database!

Take Two have a press release officially announcing the title of the GTA game for the PSP - Liberty City Stories.

The title is to be shown behind closed doors only, so if you haven't got an invite you aren't going to see it.

"We have worked very closely with Rockstar North to bring the same integrity and production value of the previous Grand Theft Auto titles to the PSP system," said Gordon Hall, President of Rockstar Leeds. "People's expectation for a Grand Theft Auto title will always be very high, and we're confident that we can deliver a revolutionary experience. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories will be the most intense and epic title created for the PSP system, undoubtedly setting the standard for this groundbreaking platform."

Read more of the Press Release for more comments on the game.

GTA LCS is due for release this fall, after the European release of the PSP console, September 1st. We're looking forward to it.

Inspired by talk of a new GTA game for PS3, avid fake screen constructor MVI has made a new screen with his take on what the gallery feature will look like, and in my opinion it's a pretty good representation.

In case you haven't yet seen what the PS3 is probably going to look like, here are some pictures of a fridge door with dildos for controllers:

The Playstation 3, or PS3 as it is rather known, has finally been revealed at the Electronics Entertainment Exposition (E3). It's alleged to be twice as powerful as Microsoft's recently disclosed Xbox 360. So we should see some fierce competition between the two, with Sony already seemingly striking the first blow against Microsoft with the more powerful console.

In related news, IGN have confirmed Rockstar will be supporting the PS3, unfortunately no new GTA game has as of yet been confirmed. Although one has to assume GTA4 will be made. Where will we all go if it isn't? We'll have to get proper lives!

If a new GTA game is confirmed we'll have all the latest news both here and over at GTAFour with out new linked news system which is all nicely categorized as you may well have noticed by now. Each section of the website now displays news from the appropriate category if you haven't.

Thanks to Neil for the heads up.

GTA Liberty City Stories

Just one day before the start of E3 and gaming site Joystiq have essentially confirmed the name of the Grand Theft Auto PSP game.

Liberty City Stories will be its name.

I was able to check out a few of the booths being built at E3 this afternoon, one of which was that of Rockstar Games. It was pretty simple—basically just a bunch of buses parked inside a chainlink fence—but the important part was what was painted on the buses. You see, each one was dedicated to a different Rockstar project, and, nestled between a Midnight Club bus and a Bully bus (delightful alliteration, might I add), was a bus that was painted totally black but for a bit of text that read, “Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories” directly beneath the PSP logo. Could this be the official title of GTA PSP?

- Clutch

To further the claim, Rockstar Games are the registrant of the domain name LibertyCityStories.com which makes this a very viable name for the game.

We'll bring you more news as we get it. Our Liberty City Stories section of the website will from now on be reachable via GTALibertyCity.com, a rather apt domain for the game don't you think?

Thanks to Codename:GTA for the news.

Pedestrians riot, just like they do in the final mission strand. Houses are on fire, people run down the streets carrying TV's and so on.

New Community Stunt Video

The guys over at GTAStunting have just released an excellent stunt video. Various community videos have been released over the years, but this one has to be the best. I can safely say it's the best stunt video I have ever seen.

Dedicated, released by it's editor NightKnight, is 5 minutes long and is over 80MB. Don't let the size put you off though, it's great quality, full off amazing stunts.

Download it Here.

On this note I'd like to say we are planning our own community stunt video, however I need to know that enough people are interested, and that you will have the PC version of the game, which judging by the previous poll a lot of you will.

Please be sure to vote in the newest poll and reply to this topic if you have any questions.
