Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PC Preview

[Damolee]

But I don't have a dvd burner :(

Means I have to get it, split it up into CD's move it across recompile it and then use alcohol 120%

:ninja:

But yeah, it looks ok, not as bad as VC which I thought looked horrible.

I have a dvd drive, not a dvd burner.

When I get it I have no way of putting it onto my other machine.

I.e. I get it, can't put it onto DVD. It'd be ok if I bought it, which I obviously will do.

looks good, I'd rather play it on xbox than pc though

what are you going on about, why would you need a dvd burner?

[The Jorge]

Man, I have yet to play San Andreas. I can't wait for the PC version! :woot:

[WarStorm]

Im just as confused jester - why would u need a DVD burner to run GTA??

lol on a side note i just a dvd-rom drive last week! - ?15.99 BARGAIN!

[Sensayshun]

To burn the DVD so that I could play it.

Confused me until I thought about it, piracy? :ninja:

Anyway, the game looks better, especially with the anti-aliasing going on. I'll probably get it!

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Oh man, im going to be getting that. :yes:

So again the question begs to be asked: Why do you need to burn it to play it?

*CLAPS*

My god you lot are slow.

If you get something as a DVD and can't burn it, and there is no network to transfer it to the gaming rig before emulating it on a virtual drive you cannot play it. Hence without a DVD burner, I wouldn't be able to play it unless I split it up into little CD disks.

I knew Neowin was full of goodies goodies who buy their windoze and everything but still......

[AionXn_]

...if you just buy a dvd drive and buy the game. you will still be able to play it with your dvd drive. im so confused

[Milan -]

i want this game sooooo bad

why the hell is the pc games alwayzzzzzz come after the ps2 :angry:

pc's rule :cool:

[piercehead]

Is Sensayshun saying he's got 1 machine with DVD that he's not going to play it on mainly, and another without DVD that is his main gaming machine??

If so, he didn't really explain it well.

[lnmnky]

No he's saying he's a warez monkey and he would need a dvd burner to play it because the downloaded ISOs would be too big for a normal cd (which would work on most games as they use multiple cds instead of dvds.)

[kalizar]

lol.. everyone is saying how amazing it looks..... if u ask me it should just be an expansion for vice city. or maybe even a mod.

Guess he doesn't know how to use Daemon Tools then :p

[sto110]

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)

NICE, i like :)

585801006[/snapback]

yeah i have a similar setup and mine is starting to show its age also, still good for a while though, i think in about 6mo to a year ill do a complete upgrade rather then swap out parts....although i got a gig of ram which helps out a TON and i have the 2.66 pushed up to 3ghz

[Sensayshun]

God you lot are dense.

Computer 1 - internet, no dvd burner, no network, can't play games

Computer 2 - the one I want the game on, no internet, no network, only dvd reader.

So I get the game have to split it into cd parts burn it then move it all across as cd's.

I'm never posting a reply in a thread like this again, people just get confused.

[Rappy Veteran]

Been waiting for this to come on p.c for sometime....watching my mates playing it on ps2 made me wanna get a ps2 but held back and waited for this :)

[S.MULLA]

looks nice-but the graphics look the same as vice city. hope the gameplay is better than ever- havent played/or seen it on ps2.

when is the release date?

edit:

from ign:

pecific date: June 7, 2005 in North America, with a European release following on June 10.

-bYtE,Apr 20 2005, 17:53]I really likted the previous GTA versions but San Andres doesn't interrest me one bit.. I hate the "gangsta" theme of the game, mabye it's because I hate rap music.. I don't know. The game look OK but I don't think I would be getting it though.

585801155[/snapback]

Have you actually ever played the game? The whole gangsta theme dies off after you get out of the 1st city and it becomes something else. Sure the character still speaks ghetto but it's hardly like gangbanging is the only theme.

lol.. everyone is saying how amazing it looks..... if u ask me it should just be an expansion for vice city.  or maybe even a mod.

If you ever played the game and saw first hand how insanely big the game space and missions are, you'd know how stupid you sound.

[hotdog666al]

My little brother got the PS2 game ages ago, haven't played it yet! Waiting for the PC version instead because we all know Liberty and Vice city were better on the pc than they were on the ps2!

[dray_04]

This is my #1 most anticipated game at the moment!

This will surely decrease my examination marks by at least 20%

P.S Anyone know of the recommended specs yet?
