Two of the best games ever, now tell me whats different...

Space05us · October 26, 2003, 15:50

heres another hint...

MattH · October 26, 2003, 17:01

Expansion?

Skanky Burns · October 26, 2003, 19:55

Looks plain Vice City / GTA3 to me.

vovan · October 26, 2003, 20:01

Since he said "Two of the best games ever", I imagine he already knew that they are GTA3 and GTA3:VC.

But then...

What's the question?

Skanky Burns · October 26, 2003, 20:50

Puzzling over that myself. Although the guy in GTA3 doesn't have good taste in cars. He should be cruising around in a Banshee.

Space05us · October 26, 2003, 23:42

another hint. the graphics are WAAAAAAY better than they originaly were.

Yeah, but maybe... just maybe... if you inserted those into PSP and zoomed in you might find a 1 pixel difference

Space05us · October 27, 2003, 18:43

it seems ADG and Zero are the only ones who know so I might as well share it with the rest of you guys. Both games are going to be re-released on X-Box.

Skanky Burns · October 27, 2003, 20:17

Nifty, if you have an XBox but no PC.

Enlighten me, what was wrong with the original XBox version?

dudemanjack · October 27, 2003, 20:43

There hasn't been an X-Box verson released yet.

vovan · October 27, 2003, 21:22

Oh. Since he said re-released, I thought it meant that there's already been one and now it is being released again.

Space05us · October 27, 2003, 21:26

it is being release again, the original release was intended for PC and PS2 only.

Skanky Burns · October 27, 2003, 21:26

The game has been released on other platforms, so it can be considered a re-release.

Adagio · October 28, 2003, 09:23

This thread reminds me... maybe I should start playing VC again, so I can get to finish the game... been a while since I last played it

Space05us · October 28, 2003, 11:24

you never finished it!? you need to!

Adagio · October 28, 2003, 12:16

I got kinda bored after a while... it's all this '80s thing which makes the game even more boring than it is...

Space05us · October 28, 2003, 12:22

think of yourself as Tony Montana

the pink killed me, and the music. But I played it all the way trough with a friend, we took turns doing missions, so it wasnt that bad.

Nikolai · October 28, 2003, 15:22

Space, the difference between the two games graphically is just about non-existant...

I see no need to count them as two seperate games, so to speak. What's so revolutionary with GTA:VC that one need to buy it if one have GTA3?

Adagio · October 28, 2003, 15:50

The graphics in VC is much better than in GTA3, and there's a lot more options (Like being able to buy your own apartmens...

... and lots more...

The downside: Everything is so... pink

the two games were previously release on PS2 and had a HUGE difference in graphics, the pictures I posted are of the X-Box versions of each. The only difference there would be story line and slight variations in the gameplay.

Nikolai · October 29, 2003, 11:45

OK. But I don't see any huge difference at all?

On the contrary, the pics seem quite similar in quality...

Skanky Burns · October 29, 2003, 19:55

The graphics in VC are much brighter.

I tend to like the drab feel of GTA3 though, and the fact that your character doesn't do any talking is a huge plus.

Sarxis · October 30, 2003, 01:20

I've got them both on PC. See.. PC games > Console Games.. even if they are only ports.

Imran Siddiqui · October 30, 2003, 02:14

I liked the setup of GTA3, but I LOVE the 80s, so VC has a soft spot in my heart. And, I actually finished VC, while I'm like at the last (tough) part in GTA3 and never finished.

Space05us · October 30, 2003, 03:09

Ive been replaying GTA3 and VC in the past few days and Im beginning to like GTA3 a lot more than VC, but I cant put my finger on why

Skanky Burns · October 30, 2003, 07:15

The character we play in VC is, to put it bluntly, an agreive ****head. The game is segmented more too, with 3 seperate islands rather than just two halves of a map - you get a greater sense of acievement.
