Yeah, but Sony's exclusive means that rockstar will have about 6 months to port the game to PC making it infinitely better than it will be on PS. Look at GTA Vice City: Sucked balls on PS2 (IMO) but played so well on PC. Crisper textures, further draw distance, smoother framerate... and (trumpets and fanfare).... MOUSELOOK! The one thing that will make any PC game player infinitely more accurate than any console inclined gamers As for the comment about GTA not being original.... I think you need to lie down, you obviously are not feeling well. |

It still boggles the mind in regards to why there won't be an Xbox version.
It makes no sense, and sony must have dished out major dollars to keep it exclusive. But it sucks for the gamer because so much more could have been accomplished with the xbox.

I heard this a little while ago, about the time of the GTA III realese. That sony paid for 3 GTAs to be exclusive. Haha im not a credible source. But its something i heard. I totally agree though, this game needs X-Box. or game cube
I wished they had some sort of collectors box i could put all 3 of the GTAs in.

Rockstar simply bought the license to 7 GTA games. That doesn't mean they're making them...some people think they bought the licenses to trick people into thinking San Andreas wasn't the true GTA game being made. Seems like a waste of money, so I actually think they bought the licenses for future GTA games.

[Guess]Some companys might not want to be asossiated with a game such as that. All the flack that these games get, could reflect badly on a car company. Endorsing such a product, could backfire on a car company.[/guess]

I was under the impression that GTA: San Andreas would be coming out on XBox, if a little later than the PS2 release?
They released 3 and Vice City on the XBox, so why not San Andreas? I want to get this game, but I'd also prefer to play it on XBox.. But has it been confirmed that the game won't be coming to XBox, ever? Thanks.

All consumer PlayStation2s are able to read and play dual-layered DVDs. However, if you have an older PS2 that is beginning to go downhill, the ability to read discs is one of the first things that goes (because the laser head assembly attracts a lot of dust). If you're having some disc read errors or anything like that, you should try going in there with some compressed air, and see if that makes it better at all. There are already a number of PS2 games that are released on dual-layer DVDs (usually ones with lots of content). Bingle |

This game is BAD ASS.
1. The music is great. Totally early 90's stuff. Danzig, Faith No More, Alice in Chains, Dr. Dre, Young MC, etc.. 2. Huge as HELL, but like all GTAs, the areas are limited when you first start playing, so I haven't yet seen the other areas of the game. 3. Stats are kinda cool and adds an RPG feel. Periodically you'll get stats.. like if you ride around in a bike and go in some pools, your bike riding stat will go up. If you run around, your "Fat meter" changes. 4. Physics engine is more realistic in terms of driving. Plays much better than the past games. 5. They say "fuck" a lot. Not really a big deal, but I'm glad they haven't held back in terms of dialogue. I know in GTA and VC the most you got was "shit" or "asshole". Makes it more controversial As for dual layer, it's not. The game fits on one normal DVD-R (unless this one I have cut out videos or compressed stuff, but it doesn't appear so). I only played for like an hour, but from what I saw, it's nice. I mean, it's nothing revolutionary, but it's definitely a change for the better. I haven't seen any of the more "detailed" features, like car modding or anything yet... but I'm assuming all that stuff comes wayyyyyyy later on.

I hope they change the physics engine (or stats) so that lamp-posts don't fall over when you touch them and cars don't bounce when you walk into them.
Apart from that, I kinda like the GTA series. Got bored (read as stuck) in GTA2 and am now playing GTA:VC. Fun. Mr Mephisto |

"40.5%" is hardly anything to fuss about. I do think they mean no posting cracks, etc... when they forbid warez. I'm sure discussing modchips, usenet, DVD-Rs, etc.. is fine (why wouldn't it be? all are legal). I'd be more concerned about the posts where people admit to smoking weed or something, if anything (even that.. I wouldn't worry about). I think posting "Here's the URL to the crack of blah" or "The cdkey is xxx-xxxx" is different from saying "I'm downloading it now". As if saying the action itself is forbidden fruit, hehe. No different from people talking about mp3s in music, I guess. No one's posting direct links, just stating how to get them here and there (p2p, usenet, etc).

This gamel looks mad.
Was supposed to come out here on the 22nd but now they say the 29th. I like the fact when you travel from the city to city you have to use the freeways and pass through small country towns. The ability to swim as well is gonna be cool to. games like True Crime and Driver3 are don't compare to the size and scope of GTA. I can't wait! |

I'm pretty damned sure it's dual-layer. Prove me wrong, or prove me right.

Well, I don't have a dual layer drive, the game fit on a standard DVD-R, and it has all the music, movies, etc.. so I dunno.
Unless the copy I have mysteriously stops at 50% through, it's the real deal. Everyone else on usenet is reporting the same - it's the real thing. *shrug*
