the hell?

it's a psp for christ sake. no one should ever expect "the next evolution on from sa" from a console that fits in your palms. that's not the purpose of the bloody yoke

I read a review in a mag recently that discribed it as such.

Was the reviewer ostentatiously mongolian?

lets face it lads, it's a hand held, we'll have to get used to it not being a PC.

Tbh all this ghosting nonsense people are complaining about is pathetic. Throw your minds back to GTA 3 across all formats. There was an option to turn the blur effect on and off. The 'ghosting' on the PSP is just the same as that. Personally I think its deliberate, making it feel like GTA 3. I just played it 5 mins ago for the first time and as soon as I saw the "ghosting" I immediately thought 'Ah, just like GTA 3'. This should deffo not be an issue for anybody who can appreciate GTA...in your hands...whenever/wherever the feck ya want!

Now, please, forget the ghosting issue and continue with your thoughts and opinions on some other aspects of the game for a change. Pfft. :rolleyes:

END OF RANT...

Well, having played every GTA game (including the 2D versions with the exception of the GBA version) pretty much to completion, I am definitely someone "who can appreciate GTA". The trails may be a stylistic decision from the programmers, but IMO, it's the wrong decision! As soon as I started GTA3, I turned them off because they looked dreadful and the same with Vice City. The graphics were rich and evocative enough for a cheap visual effect to be unnecessary. The fact that we don't have to option to turn them off is stupid, especially on a machine that is already hamstrung by a slightly dodgy screen, response time wise.

The rest of the game seems very strong, however, and I am enjoying it immensely, but the ghosting is like an itch you can't scratch.

Is ghosting the kind of blurry lines you get from the car lights and things? If so i barely even noticed that and dont find it annoying at all. I actually think its a pretty good affect and adds to that murky gta atmosphere. Im actually pretty surprised by peoples reactions to this game. Its a handheld console that fits in your pocket ffs Its a remarkable achievment to be able to fit such a massive game into such a small space. only four years ago people couldnt believe the scope of gta 3 on a home console? and whats peoples complaints about the price all of a sudden, 60 euro is an extortionate price to pay but its always been the way and Id rather pay it for gta than for a ds game,a gba game or a gameboy colour game(nothing against nintendo im just giving examples)

Well lads! I got mine in Dundalk, on the 3th! YES, the 3th.
Some lad in CD World in the Long-Walk Shopping Center just didn't have a clue when it was coming out
So I walked in, not saying a word and I walked out smiling with my GTA. Would that make me one of the 1st people,
to offialy buy it in Europe. If so brilliant, if not..... Oh! Well.

GTA Finally out today!!!
