GTA comes to X-box!
You heard me.
*Does an Arabic dance* Grand Theft Auto is finally coming to X-box. On November 4th 2003. Rockstar is releasing a double-pack containing GTA3 and GTA: Vice City. Hum dee dum dee do. Please. Let us chat about the holiness of this. |
Well, I haven't got an Xbox yet, but I know both games. So: Need help? Just yell!
|
I'm hoping the Graphics will be improved on the Xbox version, however, there's more chance of me becoming nice and doing voluntary work than that happening...
|
I've heard about Vice City coming to Xbox soooo many times, but at last! A release date! Woo! I probably won't get it for two years or however long I can go being bored. Bah, I'm a scrooge.
|
|
oh yeah baby! my runing around a shopping mall with an uzi antics can finaly be done.
|
YES! one of my fav games ever is coming to Xbox. I'm glad I didn't buy them both on PC. What makes this even better is one, it's coming out really soon, and about 7 or 8 weeks before Christmas :D :D
|
Wow! Nice pictures! GTA3 has better graphics on Xbox than PC. Trust me, I have it on PC.
|
It's about damn time.
My brother and I are thrilled over this. The fact that the package includes BOTH games is even better. |
Yeh, how much will it be though? Hmm? Expensivo...
However, if it's £20 i won't mind... That LA game is coming out soon as well, which looks good. And Fable in the first quarter of 2004...but then i have to balance past time pleasures with drinking pleasures and since i am currently jobless its abit of a bastard...poozle |
Heh! Lol... I'm going to go check out the Game FaQ boards in a few minutes. Almost ever person there was always like "GTA is exclusive! Having it go to X Box will suck!" or "It wouldn't be fair!", as if a game being on multiple systems was something largely unfair and painful to them. Heh... Happiness. Now I can play GTA on X Box, even while my brother has our PS2 at college! Whoope!

I find it hilarious at the fact the PS2 fanboys hate X Box because its Microsoft, and yet they want and love games like Halo. Then they can't wait for it to come out on PC. And guess what? They all use computers with windows... hehehe.
Damn. I just let another massive fart. |
Dammit. We just purchased Vice City for the PS2 a month or so ago. I don't like the intense realism of those Xbox shots of GTA though.
I prefer the blury, more colourful version. They've made it too realistic in 'looks', I like the PS2 'looks' better. Alcar... |
The graphics look exellent, and I too have both of them on PC. Lol now I have three reasons to get an X-Box (although that will never happen): Munch's Oddysee and the GTA combo.

A perfect example is Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. This game was meant to be extremely realistic, yet the graphics / resolution weren't realistic. This was most likely due to the Nintendo 64, though :p Alcar... |
It looks pretty. Hopefully the 'Devil may cry' people will do the same...
|
Alcar, those were shots from GTA3. GTA3 had a relatively different atmosphere about it. More gangsterish, not tropical like Vice City. As in, nothing really changed. They just made it cleaner looking.
Plus, you can always turn trails back on if you wish:p That is, if you were smart enough to take them off in the first place... |
:
You have no freaking idea how funny I found that. 2nd times a charm. |
:
If there is an option in the XBOX version of GTA for trails, I'll turn it on. If I get it... Alcar... |
ya the graphics look very nice, but im not exited at all really since i already have the games on ps2 i wont plan on buyin em for xbox, but still it looks cool
|
Dammit Alcar. Trails make it blurry! Listen to me.
I think I'm going to leave you. |
:
Fine, leave me. See if I care! Alcar... |
Alcar, your a non believer. Time to die a death of dehydration by the continual force feeding of table salt.

Can some people who have played the game highlight the amazingness that the GTA twins (GTA3 & Vice City) are. Cos im thinking of saving my money for when they come out and then purchasing them, instead of buying a game this month.
A couple of features that you personally like in the game would be appreciated. As would some of the shtuffs you can do and one of your fave missions (please try and not mention how you completed it if you can, if you can't...it doesn't matter). |
I like GTA 3's atmosphere. It is very gangster-ish and dark.
The storyline of betrayal is cool. One of my favourite missions is one where you have to steal an ice-cream van, rig it with a bomb, leave it outside some place, and when the people come out to purchase the chilly delights, you press the detonator. Vice City is fun because of the even more freedom you have. You can drive Cars, motorbikes, boats, helicopters, a seaplane, golf-carts and airport baggage carriers. You can also rob stores. My other reason of recommendation is the music. I thought the eighties sucked, but the music on the games radio stations is awesome. So good I went out and bought the rock stations cd. My favourite mission is one where you have to kill a golfer, and he jumps in his caddy and starts hooning around the golf course, with you in one chasing him. It's fun and sad at the same time. |
Has anyone got a link which proves this from a good source, eg. IGN, gamesradar etc.
I need to prove to my PS2 Fanboy friends that it is coming out on Xbox. |
Simply check IGN, under both PS2 or X Box's new section. I'm not sure if its still on the front page. Thats also where the screen shots come from
For a good laugh, check out PS2 fanboy filled baords. |
Rockstar.
The game designers site is always a good start. |
Why isn't this out yet? :p

Another thing I forgot to mention Jacob, is how much you can do when you have finished the missions. You can do taxi missions, police (kill the criminals), paramedic (saving people) and pizza boy (delivering pizzas on a moped). Doing these gets you rewards like extra max health, or armor, or other goodies.
|
Playing on the side of the law eh... If only you had that option in the original GTA, man I never get sick of playing that :fuzgrin:
|
Argh! I never saw Xavier's picture before! Why do we get such a shitty looking case? Aww. I'm not as excited now. 25% of the game is on the case, you know?
|
But surely the proverb "don't judge a book by its cover" comes in to play here? Although, I must admit, it's great to admire the JSRF case. *smiles cheekily*
|
don't care about the cover... it's the game that matters!
|
|
Wonderful graphics... and it comes out in a mere 25 days for X Box, I believe. *twiddles thumbs* Hmph. I want it now.
I need some new pants, too. Don't worry Fax. |
Awesome! I just got my X-box saturday and I'm DEFINATLEY gonna get GTA:3/VC!
master chief is inferior to my Halo skills! |
I've had my copy reserved for weeks now.
Is it still due out on November 11, right? |
