yea,im going to go line up at the local gamestore near where i live to go buy this for PC. yea i am nearly 12% done on x-box since yesterday... the grafix are a bit better on X-box than on PS2 but that happened with GTA3 and VC when they converted it.... I cant wait to play this on PC...

Would my Radeon x300 256mb PCi-e x16 work good enough for this game? does anyone know?

Review for PC/Xbox versions:
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/gta4/review.html

Can you believe it, they gave the PC version the lowest score (not really low) out of PC/PS2/Xbox versions just because they had sound problems on a computer...bah!!! Bunch of whinners.

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 08 Jun 2005, 12:19

yeah, i agree, however, a lot of people says that the PC version is better than both of the 2 versions in sounds, especially when playing on a big subwoofer

btw, 2 new PC videos are up on the official site

Interesting. Im shure if your checked up on some Emu...ehh... Sites, they would definitly already have this game to download. So i would say it leaked. But enough said.

I saw images of this new port. My question. Why are the gfx so bad? You think i joke? The shader technology is eqaul to just about none and the textures are... well... bland colors. Very scary. Im shure the landscape is large, but it cant be that bad to draw the computer card away from doing its job.

I still plan to play this game. Looks amazingling fun. But i still wish the gfx were at least decent.(ie something like DUB 3)

come on, when has GTA ever been about the graphics???

NFS_ZawyeR · Post by **NFS_ZawyeR** » 08 Jun 2005, 18:22

in the first game?

DJ_Zephyr · Post by **DJ_Zephyr** » 08 Jun 2005, 18:32

GTA has never been about graphics. That's why I like it. It won't kick the crap outta my hardware, which makes it a LOT easier to enjoy the gameplay. Bad lag is the one reason I haven't finished FarCry yet.

Can't wait till I can get up to EB Games again. I gotta jack me sometin' I can slam-n-dub!

i hear people comparing the graphic to Driv3r and looking at crappy trees

i love GTA with or without superb graphics. it's a concept of game that shouldn't have top notch graphics engine, because, not every single person can afford 512MB ram and 256MB gfx[size=0]i'm just hours away from playing it...internet rules. i'm gonna buy the original game, though[/size]

Sir Ibi · Post by **Sir Ibi** » 08 Jun 2005, 18:37

I've never enjoyed a game that had incredible graphics, except for Half-life 2, but that was more about the narrative, gameplay, and physics, above graphics. FarCry, got bored halfway, sold it on Ebay, Doom3, great game, got a bit tiring during the end..... if the graphics in GTA:SA was the same as the GTA3, I would still play the game....

i feel the same way. i just love GTA series. even the graphics. they are ok to me. now a lot of people is complaining about controls

you can still change them if you don't like them

btw, the PC version got the lowest score of all 3 versions (still 9.0), because the ones that were rating the game had some sound issues.

i can bearly wait...i heard that they come here on Friday not next week like i thought

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 08 Jun 2005, 20:36

The sounds took a 7/10 from Gamespot, BS imo

Well,i've heared enough about the PC, and all the people say that the game rocks, even though, there are some bugs in the game that will be fixed by a patch.

A poll from GTASanan.com:

How do you like the new versions of San Andreas?

The PC version ROCKS!

Both games look amazing.

Uhh. I never noticed the difference. Both are crap.

Anyways, i liked rockstar for their gameplay also. Yea, their games run at the same qaulity of a bunch of college programmers, but who cares, its fun.

no one beat rockstar in gameplay!

You don't believe me?

korge · Post by **korge** » 09 Jun 2005, 01:41

Does it have night day shifts? If it does, Im buying!

I heard its like The Sims for Gangsta wannabes.

It doesn't prove that you bought it legally

Is it just me or do the graphics look really similar to Vice City. What graphics card do you have?

Post by **Morty** » 09 Jun 2005, 04:26

I.... WANT..... THE...... GAME..... NOW!!!!!!

The place I ordered it still hasn't shipped it out... Guess I won't have it on the 10th after all

I believe all the ads says the 6th for the US.But the TV commercials say its only out on Xbox.

Idiots.

Post by **Morty** » 09 Jun 2005, 04:33

I don't really care about the US dates... The European date is the 10th, and I was hoping to find it in my mailbox on that date... But it seems like I won't have it until at least the 13th
