    The first GTA game on the pc a laugh except for the fact you couldn't save mid game but had to keep playing still you got a certain score and advanced to the next city. I'll never forget the first time I ran over a line of hari krishnas dancing down the street.

    The PC version of GTA 3 was far superior (on a top end PC that is)

    When I play Vice City i cant help but scream

    Draw distance / fog...........crap!

    Jerkovision! Terrible FPS

    CRAPPY CONTROLS!

    The PC version will be superior once again :D

    The way its meant to be played boys and girls :cool:

    BTW I think Vice City rocks...even on the weeedy PS2 :p

    It was superior but by no means far superior.
    Also the draw distance/fog probably wont be changeable by much, just like gta3 pc.

    I also never had fps problems with Vice City.

    I also find it funny that you call the ps2 "weeedy" but already said you need a top end pc to play gta3.

    Draw distance is changeable by quite a bit.

    Vice City looks like its running at 15-20 FPS

    I said you need a top end pc to play Gta3??? LOL No i didnt. Read the post please.

    You need a top end PC to play it at the top graphics settings.

    A Medium speed PC will still run GTA3 at nice speeds (compared to the PS2 anyway)

    The PS2 is weeedy! :P

    If you disable trails(as is generally recommended) you will probably never notice slowdown.
    I know I didn't in the 80 or so hours I played it.


    Also about Draw Distance, I had it up to max on my athlon xp and I really didnt notice any big difference from the ps2.

    My mistake :/
    You need a top end PC to play it at the top graphics settings.
    My athlon xp 1800/gf4 ti4400/512mb ram disagree with you, get's bad slowdowns a lot even when not at max graphical settings(and this isn't just my pc, a lot of people have fps problems with it, even with the best pc's)
    A Medium speed PC will still run GTA3 at nice speeds (compared to the PS2 anyway)
    No it wont, an athlon 1ghz with gf3 would be lucky to manage 1024* with an fps of over 25.
    The PS2 is weeedy! :P
    In the ps2's case, it appears the whole is greater then the individual parts.

    My AMDxp 1800, geforce 3 ti500 with 512mb ram runs the game perfect (without trails) at top resolution and I get no fps slowdown what so ever.

    Spiral : "Cap the collector"

    I just holed up outside my Ice Cream factory, sniper rifle in hand, and waited for them to turn-up! Bring it on!
