Ok this is getting both boring and stupid, as well as off topic. If you don't have something related to the game to post, why bother?

worthless steering? i think not, the day that the GTA series turns into a full simulator is the day it dies, just look at True Crime lol..
Anyways, meh, if GTA SA is VC but with new maps vehicles etc as you claim, ill be happy, thats what i expect and want, i want VC with new stuff, and thats what i'll get. Wohoo Very Happy

There are also many new gameplay additions which make the game better as a whole.

Keep in mind that Rockstar develops all textures at really high resolution when first making a game, and then downsamples them for the PS2 version. When it comes time to port to PC, they use the original high res textures.

I'd be happy if stuff just stopped disappearing when you turned your back on it or cars were still there when you went back to get them. Be nice to have some sheep on those hills too. And the odd dog.

And I don't like those new bars they've got instead of Armor and Health numbers, how can you ever tell how low your health is exactly?

If they'd fix the disapearing i'd be so happy too.
I also hope the police AI is a lot better, and maybe got some new ways of catching you.
(I havent played SA on PS2, so i have no idea if they have done this)

No they won't. The consoles will have the lead, at least for a short time. But it should eliminate silly things like cars having to dissappear because of the consoles lack of memory.

Wrong, consoles will NOT have the lead, well yes if you count cheap pc's as the competition, but if you do a fair comparison;
State of the art PC's next to State of the art Consoles (heh, there arent many Very Happy) then the PC's always win, especially with the PhysX card coming.
It will be close tough, perhaps even equal, when xbox 360 first comes out, but in general consoles will never beat the brutal ongoing development of a PC.

It's just like when the first xbox came, people were screaming that the death of pc's was near, that pc's were no longer the top of the line, then they came to their senses and realised that the very same pc's that dont "beat" an xbox are the old and/or common-folk pc's..

Sure consoles cost only a fraction of a pc, but a brand new xbox 360, the best console money can buy, will never outdo the best PC money can buy Wink

that physics chip doesn't mean shit. I doubt it'll even catch on, since all upcoming PC and console processors are multi-core. (Meaning there is at least one extra core lying around to do crap like process physics, etc.)

What are you talkin about?

The release date in the VS and in the EU. In the EU it has been released a half year later then in the EU (I mean NOT the releasegroups ofcourse, just in stores Razz )

Before the new consoles are out, nVidia and ATi has already released there new cards: The 7800 GTX and the R520. And then AMD has releases its X2 chips (Dual Core), and Intel prolly too. So PC will always be better then consoles... The first year the difference between the consoles and the PC is minimal, but the further we come, the more difference there is...

The Xbox 360 grphics card is alot similar to R600 than R520, and the CPU is a costom 3 cored chip running at 3.2GHZ. Dual-core processors isn't even out yet. So there will be atleast 2 years before the PC will get games that is more advanced that Xbox 360 games.

We had ths same discussion about PC vs. Console before the x-box launch. Of course the upcomming Consoles are technological top notch at the time they are introduced to the market. But their life cycle is much longer than that of a PC platform, think about how your PC will perform in three to five years, by this time these consoles will be out of date.

ontopic: Has their been any announcement that the game has gone gold, i must have missed that?

Nice Q&A http://www.planetgrandtheftauto.com/e3/articles/preview/

Quote:

22. When will the PC trailer be out for San Andreas?

Even after I told him that it says "coming soon" on the PC page, he said that they might not even have one out before they release the game on the PC. He went on to talk about how much effort they are putting into E3 that they really don't have time for it.
