Was a little worried about GTA3...Not anymore!!!

MikeDaMan · May 15, 2002, 04:22 PM

Well i was worried about my system being able to play this game nicely but not anymore! I went to pc.ign.com and read their preview of the game and they stated
"the PC version has gotten a big facelift over the PS2 version. Not only can you bump up the resolution to an eye-piercing 1600x1200 with 32-bit textures, but the game sports better lighting and particle effects than the PS2, although it depends on your video card (the Radeon 8500 looks boss!). As you would expect in this day and age, unlike GTA and GTA2, everything is now fully 3D, and you can view the world from either a first or third person perspective, or even a top-down view if you're a stickler for the original. Although the game requires a 450MHz machine with a 16MB graphics card, the game is fully scalable so you can adjust the detail to your system specs. And if you're one of the few people lucky enough to own a widescreen monitor, there's full support in the game for that as well. "

Just thought some of u would be intereseted. I will also post this on Rage3d.

Nice to know!!
Can't wait for the game to come out.

That's why PC's kicks the sh*t out of gaming consoles. Resolution galore plus other special effects you get to play with. Just as long it's not a port job, then you mine as well play it on a console

!

GTA3 comes out May 21st!!!!!!

I cant wait either im going nuts!

Pre-ordered my copy from EBWorld.com, Free soundtrack <-- Hell yeah!

Trunks0 · May 15, 2002, 11:56 PM

This needs a little clearing up

You can only have a first person view if A. Your in a car B.You have a gun that fires in First person in witch case no movment.

Other wise the game is in a 3rd person view and that not a bad thing by any means. However while the PC version will feature some better graphics with out On-Line play other than better looks I have no reason what so ever to get the PC version

For those that don't have a PS2 tho enjoy. This game is awsome

Ijustwannaknow · May 15, 2002, 11:59 PM

Trunks0: "As you would expect in this day and age, unlike GTA and GTA2, everything is now fully 3D, and you can view the world from either a first or third person perspective, or even a top-down view if you're a stickler for the original." Taken from pc.ign.com . It doesn't say anything about it being limited to first person if you have a gun or in a car. I'm getting a PC version because I don't have a PS2 >:o

I could be wrong they could have changed it for the PC version we will just have to wait and see

not from experience here, but to have it in those 3 modes the whole game through would make it hell to play on a ps2. on a computer, though, it makes sense.

MikeDaMan · May 16, 2002, 08:17 PM

In the PC version you can blow off limbs unlike the PS2 version, Oh Yea!!!

Ijustwannaknow · May 16, 2002, 08:22 PM

Sweet you can blow off peoples limbs!

Can you back over peoples skulls with your car and wait for the suction/crack noise that a pumpkin makes?

Trunks0 · May 16, 2002, 11:14 PM

You can do that in the PS2 version. Enter the "More Gore" cheat and boom you can blow off people Arms,Legs,Heads hehehehe it looks sweet

XSgore · May 17, 2002, 07:40 AM

Well I just Pre-ordered my copy of grand Theft Auto 3. I cant wait anymore. I keep reading everything about it at pc.ign.com and I just start drooling!! Take a look at some of thier screen shots. Looks like some amazing visuals!!

Mystik · May 17, 2002, 09:16 PM

/looks at my GTA3 cover gathering dust beside my television.

But yeah -- the game is great.. i was hooked on it for the first few months I had the
game..

Trunks0 · May 18, 2002, 04:43 PM

hey Mystik you ever even pass the game? I passed the game and found out I had only done 30% of the game!

Mystik · May 18, 2002, 05:26 PM

Passed it quite a few times actually.. but I haven't checked out much "percent" I was
done.. Though, in my last save game (after completing it), i've finished all the other
missions available (telephone missiions), did all of the taxi missions, I think all of the
ambulance missions, and a some "renegade" missions..

MikeDaMan · May 18, 2002, 07:02 PM

I have a question? I pre-oredred this game and this is the first game i ever pre-ordered it. I reserved it babbages in the mall. What exactly does this mean? When they get it i will be one of the first to get it? I can expect it May 24th? I'll get it whenever they call? Sorry for all the questions but i'm just wonderin. Thanks.

Mystik · May 18, 2002, 07:55 PM

I've never pre-ordered anything.. but yeah -- you're guaranteed your copy when they
start distributing it..

MikeDaMan · May 18, 2002, 09:41 PM
