Another game making an appearance at E3. Looks like more of the same mindless killing we all love. Missions are for chumps.





Looking at that first image... I want multiplayer! [addsig]

That second shot makes it look far more realistic than the other GTA games graphically - makes me think more of Driv3r (which is looking really excellent ) than GTA.

I'm not a big GTA fan really, I haven't bothered with them since the first game (which I loved, coincidentally). Doubt I'll end up getting this...unless I invest in the xbox GTA double pack before its released and decide I love the 3D style that is. [addsig]

I'm not that impressed with the graphics - same old same old. I'm more interested in how the gameplay works out. [addsig]

I'm more interested on how many yards I can knock that chump off his bike with an ice cream van! [addsig]

Looking forward to this game as well. Doesn't look like they have updated the engine much though? I can still see those awful trees where the canopy is just two flat sections at right angles...

If they don't fix the engine, correct all the mistakes from VC, and add multiplayer then I think I'll be done with this series. Is it too hard to ask for cars that don't vanish when you turn around? Or for not having every other vehicle on the road be identical to yours?

... it is if you want it to run well on most gamer's computers. [addsig]

You mean it is if you want it to run on the PS2 [addsig]

No. I meant computer. I'm aware it is also on consoles, but I don't really care. (Their engine has poor managment of draw distance and such. It doesn't get any better on the PC port.)

...Don't roll your eyes at me! [addsig]

Which is why I want them to fix the engine...

I was meaning that because its a port of the PS2 version, the engine is limited to run on the PS2. So the PS2 is the limiting factor, rather than the power of people's PCs. My eye rolling was at the limited power of the PS2 and my increased cynicism toward it as a system. [addsig]

I was kidding around, Reno

But, yes. That is part of the reason, however, Vice City has the same problems and that was optimised for PC use (for the PC version).

However, they're still fun, even if they run rather slow. Also, I thought it was cool, in Vice City, that you (basically) play as Ray Liota and beat the s**t out of people (Think Goodfellas). [addsig]

It's sooo fun though, for the first hour or so, i doubt i would buy it brand new or anything, but i would buy it if it was like ?10 down blockbusters or something.

Oh come one, how much of a slowdown would you get from getting the game to remember what car it just drew when you turn around?! I'd like to see more places to explore really- the vast sprawl of GTA3 was immense, there was quite a lot to visit, but VC was a bit too small for my liking :/

Well you'll be happy to know this is the last GTA game using this engine.

For those who haven't noticed the GTA3 series is a remake of GTA1- using the 3 cities from it and reconstructing the game to the 3rd person game it is now.
