Guest Jack Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Not true they have tweaked the lot of it so non of the graphics will be square unless they are meant to be. Plus I like the graphics the way they are if it was like The Getaway instead i woudlnt like it as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Russ Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Watching Jack Bibby post news with a link to the source...*sniff*...I'm so proud. It's like when a dad goes to see his son score a goal in a cup final. Well done, ahm fillin' up. :) Oh, and the game looks quite good. GTA:VC sucked, in my opinion, as it was exactly the same as GTA3, but with a slightly bigger map, more celeb voices and a few more cars and guns. There's only so many times you can do the same kind of missions over and over until you get bored. Drive to point X in Y seconds, blow up/kill object/person Z and drive back to the start in a set time or while avoiding the police. It was fresh and original in GTA 3, by the end of GTA:VC I was praying for something away from the norm. With the three cities, all of which are very different, I'm optimistic that Rockstar can make me a very happy gamer again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 This new GTA is 4-6 times as big as Vice City which is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I am so so so excited for this, sounds absolutely amazing, and I've seen some screenshots in Game Master last week and the graphics look to be much improved, a lot smoother with less jaggy edges. Can't wait for October, gonna be great this christmas for games, GTA SA and MGS3 :xyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 I think it is really good you have your own gang too. On other games you had them but they never did anything and you (the boss) had to do all the missions which was crap really. This game will be a bestseller definetly.

Guest TsuMirren Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 "I can't wait! I just hope that you can use the direction pad, and not be limited to analogue only." Yup, I'm sick to my back teeth of games that don't let you control your car/person with the direction pad. I mean, that's what the damn thing is for. It's like bloody golf games, using the analogue controllers for the swing. Whatever happened to just pressing x to start, then x to select the power again? Saying that, it's more annoying on the PC when you have to use the mouse to swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cactus Jack Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Exactly Tsu! At the very least they should leave you with a choice of Analogue or Direction, why do they have to take away the option of Direction pad these days? ITs for that reason that I haven't played the last 2 MoH's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anime Otaku Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 since getting used to using the analogue sticks on PS2 and GC to control games i love it, the sticks are far more accurate when you get used to them, the D-pad is dead as a control meathod as it is mostly on or off not as subtle as the analogues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Void Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Looking good. Can't wait for it to be relesed. Is it true that you can get into the back of cars on this one? I heard you can but i didn't know how much truth is behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 :xyx Totally agree Tsu/Cactus, not having the option to use the direction pad is an absolute bugger, I've got MOH Rising Sun but I've gotten very little gameplay out of it mainly due to the fact its a nightmare moving around with the analogue stick, and I've tried getting to grips with the controls but I just haven't got the patience to work around a shite control system. Would it really be that hard to let the player choose between analogue/direction pad? It would save a hell of a lot of bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anime Otaku Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 peter are we playing the same game??????!!!! i love moh's controls, though i have the GC version not PS2 but still i think the controls on MOH have always been good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Well I hate the controls for MOH, I've tried and tried and tried to get used to them, but I can't! So MOH now stays on my shelf gathering dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
