Title: Don\'t forget... (video settings)
Post by: THX on October 31, 2002, 12:54:51 PM: to turn off the light trails in the video settings menu. I think it look smuch better and less distracting with em off. I didn\'t think to do it until I completed 6-7 missions. :P

And anyone else trying out the DTS in this game? It\'s bleh. No center channel and no use of rear speakers for any distinction of your whereabouts. Just the same material that\'s coming out of the fronts.

Still the best game I played on PS2 regardless of the minor FX problems.

When you turn them off for awhile then turn them back on it makes you want to clear your eyes, like you cant see strait or your half-way drunk or something. But it does make the scenery look a lot less distracting to the eye when the blur is off.

The DTS sound is a lot clearer, when you\'re in a car the engine mostly comes from the from the front speakers while the music comes from the surrounds, the bass is sharper and not so whoompy either. I think it\'s lovely.

Post by: Kurt Angle on November 12, 2002, 08:15:24 AM: The review in OPSM2 said it did but it hasn\'t. Nevermind it rocks anyway!

Post by: Green Meanie on November 12, 2002, 08:17:09 AM: They wouldn\'t make a game 60hz as standard would they?

I know it\'d be silly as some TV\'s wouldn\'t deal with it but I haven\'t found one that has problems with it yet.

Post by: RichG on November 20, 2002, 04:49:26 PM: Its a nice 50Hz converstion though. I haven\'t seen how much faster the NTSC version runs but the framerate is a lot better than GTA 3 and its full screen.
