Phil Collins amazed by Vice City Stories' rendering of him
How do you know if you're out of the technology loop? When you're amazed at how accurately they made your character in a video game on a handheld.
At least, that's what we can say about Phil Collins these days. The 80's hitmaker was reportedly amazed at how the game designers at Rockstar recreated an 80's version of him for Grand Theft Auto: Vice city Stories. Collins said, "They have got it spot on - the five o'clock shadow, the suits, and all the other stuff that was so embarrassingly prevalent in my '80s wardrobe."
Of course, GTA isn't exactly the best at making really human looking characters. When you see one of the game's voice actor's being impressed by it, you're not sure whether to nod respectfully or smirk a little bit. Still, Phil Collins is both on a video game and providing music for it, and we aren't, so he's definitely doing something right. If you're interested in seeing more of his embarrassing 80's-garbed persona in the game, then you may want to take a look at Remi M's post some time ago. Enjoy!
