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.

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!

*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......

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.)

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

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 :)

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

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.

-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.

    • Rockstar gives last-gen GTA V players free upgrades tomorrow

      By +Random Stranger · Posted

      I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By tradesetter · Posted

      The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
