Vice City Stories is the new GTA

Take Two, the company that publishes the Grand Theft Auto series from Rockstar Games, has trademarked a bunch of variations on the naming that suggest a new installment of Vice City.

Take Two has filed for the name Vice City Stories to be applied to a new game, to merchandise, and to a TV series or film.

The obvious clue is that there will be a new PlayStation Portable installment of the popular game series. This year, Liberty City Stories had a new storyline set in the GTA3 universe. It doesn't seem like a huge leap to assume that Vice City Stories could be a new storyline set in the 80s Vice City world. Rockstar has previously suggested that there will be a new GTA PSP title before the year is out, so we'd suggest that this is it.

The merchandise will quite possibly apply to the CD soundtrack of the game. Vice City on the PlayStation sported a massive amount of retro 80s music on the soundtrack.

The third seems more intruiging. Are we going to see a TV series based on the game? There seems to be the possibility.
