Well the day finally came. I just picked up the GTA double pack for the Xbox. It looks better,and it sounds better on the Xbox. Now I have no reason to use my PS2 anymore. It\'s been a good console to me over the past few years, but now that the only game I played on it is now out for the Xbox, the older , slower PS2 will be put to rest.
-
You already finished it on your PS2, and decided to pick it up for your XBox anyway?
-
uhoh, it\'s the xbox nerd! :eek:
(not that I\'m all that much against it, but buying a game on two different consoles is just stupid!)
-
Its even better on the PC...
-
GTA 3 = Beat once, Never play again...
-
Here is what this guy is doing. He thinks that XBOX is better and PS2 sucks, and the only game worth buying a PS2 are GTA3 and GTAVC. So to make sure he isn\'t labeled a fanboy he acts like he has a PS2, to prepare for a huge flame.
BTW, there is a GTA5 coming out on PS2 and it will have it exclusive for a year just like they did on the XBOX and PC.
-
So much for being able to play THE GAME that is GT4.
Your loss.

you suck! BAN HIM! BAN HIM!
especially that last sentence gives him away (not that we didn\'t know on the forehand ;)) "the older, slower ps2......"
you don\'t post anything anymore and suddenly you come with this crapload? you suck!

Wow Hurricane, you found a new website. Yay.

I think it was pointless for them to come out with the GTA series on Xbox. Everyone played them and most beat it. Plus, wasn\'t Rockstar under a contract with sony to make the GTA games only on PS2?
-
I believe they are under contract to keep it exclusive for a set period of time. After that they are free to do as they please. Someone correct me if I\'m wrong about that.
As far as it being pointless. It\'s debateable. I\'m sure there still is an audience that don\'t own a PS2 that are willing to pick this up. Will it be as big on the Xbox? Probably not. Will it make a profit? most likely.

yeah thats what i was thinking....
Ah well looks like MORE money for Rockstar North to help to produce both Manhunt & GTA4....
-
This twinpack is also coming out on the ps2 I think. Pity that everyone will already have the games on ps2 anyway.
-
Frankly i don\'t care about VC. The graphic suck too horiibly regardless of the platform...even on PC.
And i think I\'m almost same here. I SOLD my PS2 while it is still working and before it becomes absolutely worthless.
Seriously, i really can\'t bear to play another game with crummy blurry texture and shimerries and poor frame rates.
Wanted to buy an XBOX but frankly, the graphics are only a little better....right now, it\'s PC all the way for me.
Still, I think i\'m going to miss FFX-2 and Front Mission 4...oh well, can always play it on a PS2 emulator 2 years down the road or on the PS3. :D

Huh?? What has playing PS2 games on an emulator has anything to do with a pirate??
In fact, i\'m playing my PSX games on my PC now...still have some outstanding backlog to clear!!! Anyway, it\'s great playing on an emu, you get superior graphics!!!
Imagine all the PS2 games next time running in hi-res on ur PC!!! Woo-Hoo!!!

An emulator for PS2... Not in 5 or so years. How are they going to emulate multiprocessor hardware (PS2) with a single processor PC? And besides, the EE is still almost as powerful as the fastest PC processor so for a PC processor so emulate the PS2 in software it has to be a lot more powerful than todays processors.
Hell, look at the emulators for PSX and even the Amiga. Even they aren\'t 100%, at least the ones I\'ve tried. Sound and CG movies are often choppy.
No thanks. Emulators suck for the most part, better with the original hardware and controllers in front of a TV IMHO.

^ you\'re right JP. Over at the IGN Metal Gear Solid boards there\'s this girl who is very nice and loves MGS.
But, she\'s also quite a Sega fangirl who hates Sony\'s guts, so
she has refused up until now 2 get a PS2. She plays MGS1 on
PC and her DC Bleemcast and MGS2 Substance on her aging Pentium 1.6 ghz pc. She\'s got a Cube for Sonic games and she\'ll be getting Twin Snakes for it. Like Paul, she also said she\'ll get a PS2 emulator when MGS3 arrives ROFLMAO :laughing:
But besides her Sony hating, she\'s a nice person :)
btw. just look at this
PC minimum requirements (gap gets bigger with recommended req.) (while our PS2 runs the games at 294 mhz and 4 mb video ram, plus maybe a scart RGB or s-video cable for sweet visuals) ;
Splinter Cell (xbox born):
Processor: 800 MHz Pentium III or AMD Athlon processor
RAM: 256 MB of RAM
Video Card: 32 MB video card
Silent Hill 3 (ps2 born):
1 GHz Pentium III or Athlon processor (or equivalent)
256 MB RAM
GeForce3 Ti/Radeon 8500 Video Chipset w/32MB VRAM
4X CD-ROM or 2X DVD-ROM drive
:thepimp:

Hehe, what a silly girl... and you can quote me on that :)

My goodness...have u people even use a PSX emulator before??
The emulator isn\'t iillegal, only ROMS are. A PSX emulator is not like the emulator of yonder years whereby you have to download an illegal copy of the ROM. You can play the original CD-disc in ur PC!!!! You can\'t download ROM anyway for PSX coz it\'s too freaky big to be converted anyway!!!
I can\'t believe some of u people are still living in the 90\'s.
