The IGN preview also reveals that the game is set to be released on a single DVD, rather than multiple CDs.

The cars don't look as shiny as they look on the PS2 version of GTA: San Andreas. The whole game looks smoother, thanks to anti-aliasing. I'm going to get this game once it's out.

Sweet. I can't wait for the PC version. I wish more publishers would put there games out on dvd. In this day and age, most people should have at least a dvd-rom drive anyway, and putting games out on 3 or 4 cd's is rediculous.

Of course, any game would look better on PC than PS2.

ditto

man my 9700 non pro, 512mb and 2.4 p4 are starting to show its age in modern games.
hopefully it can play this one good though (vice city was looking awesome on my setup)

QUOTE
But unlike the previous entries in the series, San Andreas also has a huge number of extra features and side games--like changing your appearance, learning to pilot a boat or helicopter, playing basketball, and even dancing--all of which will appear intact in the PC version.

QUOTE
If you want, you can simply drive across the entire length of the state of San Andreas, which is roughly five times the size of Vice City, without hitting a single loading screen.


NICE, i like smile.gif

Looks so nice, will be buying it when it comes out, it's so hot. Of course it's going to look better then the PS2, just obvious reasons why.

wow looks amazing. and it's great it'll be on dvd. all games should be on dvd now...regardless of people that don't have dvd drives, cos it's just annoying to change discs so many times.

QUOTE(IGN)
The game itself takes less than ten seconds (with a 3.2 GHz P4 and 1GB of PC3200 on the laptop), outdoor/indoor transitions are instantaneous, and cutscenes load whip-smart.


So not the best video card required, finally a game I want that doesn't require an upgrade of some sort.
