GTA: Vice City PC

Anyone have it yet? Is it out? I was looking at the requirements and there much higher then the 1st game. Is this because it really needs a better system or was it since even on the reccomended system for the first game it ran slow?

 

I got it and have been playing it a lot.

Here is a few reasons why it has higher requirements.

There are more variables for the peeps to do (read : citizens).

I have seen carjackings, fights between cops and peeps, lots of crazy drivers...all randomized.

Also, the graphics are MUCH sharper, and reflections such as rain / ponds are also pretty tight.

The redraw distance has been increased as well so you can't even really tell its being drawn as you go.

Also, there is support for higher res / and the music is of course ogg or mp3 "radio stations" that seem to take up a little bit more resources (they are real songs instead of made up jingles)

So far, thats all i can see. Of course i just got it...

 

there have also been added features like shooting tires and windows, which will demand more of your system, also the world is bigger, for more processing

 

Ok, I think I'm gonna get it, after my next upgrade. What is your system and how well does it run at what options?

 

I have it and run at 1024x768x32 bit.

IT runs quite well and I have folding@home running while playing, game runs smooth 60fps for the most part, with some slowdowns here and there.

Im running:

XP 2200+
Ti4400
nForce2 w/512MB PC3000

 

Sounds good, I think I need a new CPU first tho. GTA3 runs about 25 average at max res with draw distance at half (min15, max40).

 

vice city sucked for ps2 so therefore it will suck for pc

 

That would be your opinion.


I find it quite a bit of fun, but not so addicting that I go back to my geek like ways and ignore the real world.

Now Postal 2, that blows. Its only fun for about 5 minutes, and then its bleh. Wizzing on people and torching them is only good for a couple laughs.

 

WHat are you talking about? Vice CIty on PS2 rocks! And I'm sure PC will be even better!

 

Vice City is teh shizz....

Don't be hatin..

 

running on an AthlonXP 2000+ @ 2400, Ti4400, 512MB RAM on MSI KT3 Ultra2, no slowdowns, everything on max, 1024*768, load times are almost not noticeable.

 

I played GTA III AND Vice City all weekend long (ps2). I love it!

 

I have hte PC version...

Anyone know how to get the seaplane to take off?

it ried accelerating then using keypad 9 (similar to helicopter) but no luck. I also looked at the keyboard config but no luck either..

 

vice city is fairly good,but i find myself losing interest after about a 1/2 hour and need to do something else.....WAY better than Postal 2 no arguement there!! By the way fleppen,Camelot is spelled with a C, not a K...............
...........I think therefore............................................................

it's an Epic/Powermetal band, don't think

 

IIRC, it is the same as your "lean back" or "wheelie" key is.
