Petition: Force Rockstar to put GTA:VC on X-Box - Page 3

MrVicchio · 2004-10-07, 10:04 PM

The GTA III and VC versions on the Xbox were far superior to the PS2 versions. Period.

EineBeBoP · 2004-10-07, 10:09 PM

why?

obviously the updated textures, and shit they had time to upgrade, but give me reasons the gameplay was better.
in bullet form please.

The PC Version is coming out in May, the question is why play it on an Inferior Console?

EineBeBoP · 2004-10-07, 10:15 PM

Indeed.

I wish it came out earlier, but im willing to wait.

Because for some people the XBox is a better computer than theirs.

Fixed.

MrVicchio · 2004-10-07, 11:05 PM

Both My PC's are better then an X-Box. My monitor is 23" My TV is 35"

I can bring My X-Box places, kinda hard to lug my PC anywhere

X-Box over PS2 GTAIII/VC

1. Better Graphics

2. Better Controler

3. Lower load times

4. No stinking memory card

5. Its X-Box, X-Box powns PS2 in all departments on a pure technical basis alone.

Cant. there are none.

.... fighting games that is.

Most sports games are better on Console IMHO, mostly because they can concentrate on getting the game polished for X console vice trying to cover the compatability for every PC combo out there.

Same with racing games.

And traditional RPGS

Derfud · 2004-10-08, 12:23 AM

Tradional RPGs better on consoles? I think not.

Unless, by traditional you mean those trendy final fantasy games.

Traditional RPG should be defined by a D&D RPG, since D&D was the original RPG.

MrVicchio · 2004-10-08, 02:27 AM

I am talking about FF, Dragon Warrior and the like.

D & D is BORING on the computer. Not since the original Pool of Radiance... lol and the cheesy decoder wheel to prevent copyright infringement, have I bothered with such on my computer. I save that for MMO level RPGs.

BTW Consoel MMO... SUCK

Why are people actually ignoring this point (the most important point in the thread)? Sony locked up Rockstar early on, a risky move that paid off in ******. This is the last GTA game that falls under the Sony exclusivity contract, but it still falls under it. They'll release it to other formats when their contract allows them to, and not before. Unfortunately, a petition is just pissing in the wind in the meantime.

MrVicchio · 2004-10-08, 05:00 AM

MadCow, Rockstar is locked up?

After reviewing all the online crap I could, I found no evidence of this, the exclusive contract is over I.E. thats why you had the double pack for GTAIII/VC

And the petition is NOT pissing in the wind, what it does is tell Rockstar not to let SOE or anyone else "lock them up" again in the future because they are pissing on potential customers. Thats never a good thing.

Honestly, I couldn't give a rats ass about which console I played GTA on. I've played both of them on PS2, and they were both very enjoyable. I seriously don't care if the graphics are slightly better or the controls tighter on the xbox. I don't see why anyone would wait 6 months just so they can have slightly better graphics. But w/e.

As for PC games: I only started playing them 2.5 years ago with age of empires II. I have a sega genesis, n64, ps2 and gamecube. I rarely play consoles anymore except for those rare games that are too good to not play (IE san andreas will be one, GT4, etc). I also use em for party games. But mostly I play on the PC. Heck I only have 7 games for my PC (6 if you don't count United Offensive), of which I only actively play 3. But yeah I'll agree, FPS's, MMO's, RTS, and some others are better on PC, while racing, 3rd person, and party games are better on console. PC and consoles are way different, and each have their own strengths.
