djx Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 some have been getting hyped up about the pc release. just wondering, do you all buy both pc and ps2? if so why. what is so special from one to the other. i had gta3 for pc but realized they should have made their recommened requirements much higher. because my pc matched what the box said yet it was jumpy. which forced me to sell it. thanks.

Zottekop Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 it's just for the peeps who don't have or don't want to buy a ps2 or just can't afford one....that's what the pc version is for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr Moff Matt Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 My PC has 801 mhz + a crappy tnt2 card but (and im not lying) can play gta3 fine! (The fact that i had to hit ctrl + alt + del and close everything IS IRRELEVANT ) I think, that R* have learnt there lesson, but vc wont sell as well on pc for this reason: R* Dont give a toss about pc users. How many patches did they launch for gta3 .......... 1. One lousy patch! Anyway, i wont be buying it on the pc, unless i have a cash flood or i suddenly become a millionaire (hardly since im 14) I can nearly guarantee that the mp3 player will be back, but not sure about the skins. I am not sure about any drastic changes tho, as that wouldnt be fair on the ps2 users! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, another reason why there are people out there who would buy the PC version of GTA is because you can MOD it. You can make new cars for the game..new cities..whatever..so it can get a bit more fun if you're into that kinda stuff. As you can see on the forum list: there are forums for GTA3 Modification, Maps etc etc. Later The Precinct - We're upping our standards, so up yours!

Paint_Suey Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Yeah the biggest thing is mods and the graphics can improve past the ps2, if you have the hardware. If this game recruits any programmers like half life did, it could even go multiplayer! Just thinkin guys..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sensory Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 well.. i bought a ps2 especially for the release of vice city, because i wasn't about wait for it to come out on the pc and have it run crappy, just because of my video card. i find that a ps2 is better for gaming, because no matter what comes out for the ps2, you can always run it, and you don't need to upgrade your system for a stupid game that you might only play for a week or more. also, even though i have a dvd-rom, i prefer watching dvd's on my tv, so the ps2 was an easy choice for me. i just use my pc for internet/graphic/music related stuff.

Maybe that was because I have a radeon 7500 grafix card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
