Woohoo Gta:Vice City on the PC at last!!!

Chinoz · May 13th, 2003

Ahah topic sez it all!! Just played it, and boy it's seriously cool. Much smoother then gta3. I can run it at 1024x768x32 w/ constant framerates of around 50~75 fps!!

Graphics are also very much improved.
Will be posting some screenies soon (that's after i stop jumping around the room, hugging my gta:vc cd)

Someone's not going to be able to control his bike's throttle here.

Just wait until it arrives at the local LAN places... a new mass massacre will start anew

Hoo boy

Greetings,

Vice City on the PC? Finally!!! :rofl:

But a question: will I be able to run it having only a GeForce 2??
I hope it's enough, because I'll buy this game ASAP.

Live long and prosper.

Aparently this game is less of a resource hog than the original GTA3.

Kaiser Sigma · May 13th, 2003

GeForce 2 ? That game better run well with my TNT2

Valeron · May 13th, 2003

Hey , i need some $$ now!

Kaiser Sigma · May 13th, 2003

Wanna cooperate with me an assault a bank ? (sorry too tired to work again

)

Chinoz · May 13th, 2003

Well, I used to play gta3 on a gf2mx and it's kinda ok, so i think vc should run fine.
And Kasier, tot you got a new rig?

Kaiser Sigma · May 13th, 2003

Nope, I'm still stuck with a wussy 8.4 rig (though I have lots of backup of my files on CDs)...

Boltzmann · May 13th, 2003

Greetings,

I can run GTA3 pretty fast on my PC, then I guess I'll run Vice City ok... And based on 12si opinion I think the game is worth my money.

Live long and prosper.

Phoenix · May 13th, 2003

Got the game today, seems that the damn lag is no longer in this port as in GTA3.
The graphics are better, there's a lot of enhanced stuff GAT3 didn't have.

dhkimboa · May 13th, 2003

really phoenix? you got the game today :|

Rhombus · May 13th, 2003

I personally don't think the graphics are much of an improvement over GTA3. The main character looks smoother and less chunky but the overall game graphics seem more or less the same. I also never had any problem running GTA3 smoothly at 1024x768x32.

Nevertheless, it seems like the game will be alot of fun and I'm looking forward to playing it... and I'm most looking forward to the tons and tons of new audio on the radio stations.

ready2rumbelX · May 13th, 2003

I'm getting this game.....for sure! I'm gonna search and get it so fast!......man, i'm tired. Good night, people.

Seriously... few games are as much fun as the GTA series, who cares about graphics ?

Raqia · May 14th, 2003

This game totally rules! I'm such a sucker for the 80'ies. However, I'm a little dissappointed they took out the old school GTA camera angle... is there some way to unlock that?

dhkimboa · May 14th, 2003

what camera is that? I dont remember anything like that

Chinoz · May 14th, 2003

Are you saying about the helicopter view? If that's what you're talking abt, then you can actually change the view to it
