Oh cmon, you know that testing doesnt mean how it play on each ones PC in particular

And after all i seen short viode review on gamespot and it says theres lotsa graphic options. All i need is normal resolution, and even if it will look like Vice City its still ok.

p.s. and yeah i know, i need upgrade asap

There is only one thing that struck me odd, the game's graphics don't look too different from Vice City but with one big difference, there's actually motion blur when you go really fast with a car.

Janx14 · Post by **Janx14** » 11 Jun 2005, 16:12

i know that

Well,the cities look better,with sharper textures.There is better lighting in this game,car models are better,reflections are much better.
Character models are somewhat better.They improved a bit in all areas.

Sup homies? Big M down with some screens y'all...

Ugh, I've been playing a bit too much today...

Anyway, Skyline_man wanted me to post some screenshots, so here they are:

About nr 6, it seems that rain gives the game an older look... Dunno if that's normal...

My specs:
OS: Win XP Pro SP1
MB: Asus A7V333
CPU: AMD Athlon XP2400+ 2.0 GHz
GFX: Asus V8420 GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB DDR (nVidia, updated with the latest 71.89 drivers)
RAM: TwinMOS PC2700 DDR-DIMM 512MB
DirectX: 9.0c

Runs on 15-20 fps, which is good enough for me... At least for now

Awesome.

The gfx suck but the city looks real and has enough details to look like a real city. Im buying!

OOps. Im grounded. Nvm. Ill just wait for a demo.

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 11 Jun 2005, 20:19

demo? theres no demo for GTA man

And after all, the new drives are mostly oriented onto GeFroce 6 or FX series. So installing em to improve anything not worth of much.

I got a 6 series. Is that good? And did you mean drivers?

^Sparco^ · Post by **^Sparco^** » 11 Jun 2005, 20:36

Obviously he meant drivers...

Anywy, who cares about graphics? This game rocks... I enjoy it as it is... No need to super-polygoned-characters and fancy 1600x1200 scenarios.

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 11 Jun 2005, 20:56

nah ^Sparco^ like i said, i need only 1024x768x32 with fairly good view distance and performance.

Post by **Morty** » 11 Jun 2005, 21:23

Sorry, forgot to mention this... My GFX settings

Draw Distance: 4 bars
Frame Limiter: On
Visual FX Quality: Low
MIP Mapping: Off
Anti Aliasing: Off
Resolution: 1024x768x32

I think i'm almost done in Los Santos. Stiil around 10-15 missions to do untill i go to San Fierro though. I can't wait to get to Las Venturas. Lots of cool missions there.

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 11 Jun 2005, 21:46

I am not sure, one of my friends that have the game on PS2 told me that you will love the first missions but in Las Venturas, it will be very tough missions and too long too where you have to go back to San Fierro and some times Los Santos

anyway, i will love it anyway, i already love it

*Sir Ibi is all battered and bruised from being brutally slapped by Morty and his oversized trout*

Will never forget again.

Well guys.... is the game really THAT good?
I mean, I dont wanna throw off 50â‚¬ in a stupid game...

All I want to know is:

- Will it run decently in my system? (P4 Prescott 2.8Ghz, 512Mb Ram, Gforce Fx5200)
- Is the city big?

- Is it funny? Story, missions...

Thx!!
