GTA: Vice City
 
Im thinking of getting this for the PC. Are their any advantages of this version compared to PS2? Its now only £19.99 on Games website.

No there are no advantages over the PS2 version apart from higher resolutions (and as you have an MX420 card, so it's hardly worth trying to up it) and mouse control for combat, which is not the best anyway.

Re: GTA: Vice City
 
So its PS2 version yeah?

I'm sorry but the PC version is far superior, even with your rusty old GF4MX :D

The game's hardly that demanding, were talking DX7 here. Plus you can listen to your own mp3's in game on PC. Then there's all the mods for it too!

Ok so its PC then. Will my Graphics card be able to handle it?

Yeah, on low resolutions is should be ok because I used to play GTA3 on an MX440.

Should be smooth at 800x600, and 1024x768 if you ease back the draw distance a little ;)

Cheers simicer07. It even says that it has additional options to customize the game.

It's a great game mate, well better on PC than on PS2. Great graphics and gameplay, controls are good too on the old keys!

Strangely enough, I first started on GTA3 when I had a PS2 a few years ago and since then I can't play any GTA game using the keyboard, I have to use a joypad.

It was great when I first played GTA3, although I remember being a little shocked at the level of violence, quite used to it now. :D

from time to time I play Vice city on my laptops Radeon 7000 (Geforce 2 equivelent) it looks less nice than it does on my main pc and does slow down when theres a lot going on but its still nice.

Re: GTA: Vice City
 
I run gtavc on my Radeon 9200 SE and I do get some lag but if i draw the distance right back and loose some of the brightness it tends to run ok.


My main problem is this goddamn Echo i get sometimes on Halo and GTA VC of sounds through my Ac97 on board sound card which drives me nuts sometimes.

Right got it on PC, but now im looking for some cool mods. Anyone got any good sites?

Got a small prob: everytime i go to walk the game does it by itself. I have found a patch but that only fixes a graphic curruption problem. I have tried reinstalling the game to see if it helped but it still happens.

Any help appreciated.

Processor overload? try turning the details etc and game perks down. As i posted on another thread VC needs a pretty meaty pc to run, so make it easier for the game if you have a ****e-ish pc

ok this is a really weird result. It was weird untill i installed XP SP2 then it went back to normal as though it was the day i purchased it. Game doesnt operate weirdly by itself anymore. :D
