ahfunaki Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I've had both games for ps2 since they came out pretty much... and I just got an xbox, and I'm sure the graphics will be alot better on xbox...so woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briandl79 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I've been quite dissapointed in the porting of Rockstars games so far, certainly GTA was horrible and GTAVC was somewhat better, hopefully the port to the Xbox will be better than both previous PC ports. I imagine it will have custom sound tracks which will also be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danrarbc Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 and I just got an xbox, and I'm sure the graphics will be alot better on xbox...so woo! Maybe as good as the PC version. But I wouldn't count on anything better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmpCoder Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Yeah, I think they would sort of be like the PC version, since they are being ported from the PC. But, they may make some adjustments to make it better for the XBox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o_87 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 They look identical to the PS2 graphics. Thats not a bad thing though, I was not expecting any huge improvement in the graphics anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted September 6, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 6, 2003 Its more or less a cash grab, but how did they circumvent the exclusivity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o_87 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Apparently Sony and Rockstar renegotiated their deal (I can't confirm this though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The One 52 Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I just hope we'll be able to put our own soundtracks on the Xbox version. It would be a mistake to not put this feature. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazzz Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Apparently Sony and Rockstar renegotiated their deal (I can't confirm this though) "renegotiated"....lol more like loopholed :rofl: and anyone who says that xbox gfx look like ps2 (see previous few posts) is on crack. Get over the 0wnage of the ps2 by xbox. Oh yea, something tells me we won't have a 3 minute load time between islands as well. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boffa Jones Veteran Posted September 18, 2003 Veteran Share Posted September 18, 2003 LOL. I havn't really examined any screens but i doubt there will be hardly anny difference in the graphics orfer the previous iteration. I mean its not like htey have had a million years. They coudl turn up the anti alaising and touch it up but nothing huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ryan Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 This is great. Mt GTA3 disc is scratched badly and I only have Vice City for PC. Now I can get more use out of my PS2, I haven't played it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
