Acetaminophen 923 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Simple question do you play GTA III with Trails on or off? Link to post Share on other sites
MrMateczko 3,325 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Off. It makes the colors more visible. It's too dark for me with trails on. Link to post Share on other sites
DEALUX 2,554 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 On. This option gives the game a nice blueish tint, it really enhances the atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny_Cash1983 5 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 On, it makes the atmosphere more gritty. Link to post Share on other sites
œaœa 646 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 On, like all the others said, it creates a green/blue tint (depending on the weather) that really adds to the atmosphere. Trails also looks better on the PC version of Vice City than on PS2. Link to post Share on other sites
Andreaz1 1,067 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Off, because I thought the trail effects in the opening cutscene were actually some kind of graphical glitch and it looked awful. Link to post Share on other sites
DEALUX 2,554 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 In my opinion the game looks sh*tty without the tint. I don't mind the trails either. Link to post Share on other sites
Arsen Vitiuk 533 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Off. So the game looks 'clearer'. Link to post Share on other sites

Arsen Vitiuk 533 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 For some reason, trails do not define the game being GTA III or not. I, somehow, played GTA III for 2.5 years and never used trails. Still, I had that feel... So... Link to post Share on other sites

You can play like you want. There is option in the game to power it on or leave it off. Trails are just so personal to me. I like this dark atmosphere. Maybe, it is beacuse I waited for the game to be like this. Edited October 18, 2012 by Filip454 Link to post Share on other sites
DEALUX 2,554 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Trails off = no GTA 3 Yeah, I agree. It's a big part of the atmosphere in the game in my opinion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Arsen Vitiuk 533 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 What I meant is that 'Trails Off' option still leaves GTA III to be GTA III, not like you said. That's all. I didn't mean anything more than that at all. Sorry for any misunderstanding I may have caused you... Link to post Share on other sites

Arsen Vitiuk 533 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 OK, you're right. Problem solved, I guess? Now, back to the topic, let's see what others think about it... Link to post Share on other sites
SLeek 3 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have played it like 5 years with the trails. Now I turned them off. Why? Because it seemed to me like it was lagging and all of that. I absolutely agree that it ruins the graphics a little bit. But if you are looking for the real experience of GTA III, I recommend you to turn them on. I turned that off, because I wanted to get a much cleaner visuals... Link to post Share on other sites
Physicalfire 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Off, annoying! Played on PS2 with them on, PC made me feel sick . Link to post Share on other sites
unopescio 1,460 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah that's what they're for. They look good on the PS2 on an old CRT but crap on anything else. Link to post Share on other sites
Arsen Vitiuk 533 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Just out of pure interest, played GTA III on PS2 with Trails today... And I have to say, the effect is much better than it is on PC (don't know about Xbox). It seems that with bleak colors of PC, Trails have become something less than they were on PS2. So definitely Trails Off when I play a PC version of GTA III. On PS2, I can as well leave them on - it only makes the experience better. P.S. Thanks to Physicalfire and OnePiece for motivating me to try Trails On on PS2. Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron1 0 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Always off. Link to post Share on other sites

The same colors can be achieved with the ps2 particle.cfg and timecyc.dat It also helps to adjust your monitor Link to post Share on other sites
Arsen Vitiuk 533 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 My monitor has the best performance selected. If I try to adjust it for the PC GTA games to be PS2-like, then, I fear, everything else is going to go nuts. Speaking off-topic: is there anywhere here on the Forums I can find PS2 particle.cfg and timecyc.dat for PC? Maybe someone was on it? And still, how is this going to affect the color depth of the game, with it being bleak even despite my monitor has a 32-bit color depth selected? Link to post Share on other sites

From what I understand, Rockstar has always changed the timecyc for PC versions to give them more realistic colors. Same thing happened with IV. Anyway, I'll send you the files in a few days or so.

See my signature to understand. I see what you did here. OT: I think the game has better atmosphere with trails "on", but my eyes actually hurt when playing with trails "on". Well of course that was 3 years ago so I dunno what effect would it have on me. So I have to go with the "off" option. It also gives me more fps (yeah my PC sucks diarrhea covered with sh*t) Link to post Share on other sites
