in all honesty, i never once noticed a frame rate problem in GTA San Andreas on ps2. I guess if hte game is fun and engrossing enough that kind of stuff doesn't bother me.

no, it actually isn't anything like that at all.
and frankly, you should be banned for using the phrase "pumping away on the pussy of Joan Rivers."

I forgot that one, it is pretty tolerable. I dunno, considering the insanely long driving sections in SA, I felt that the music was more easily worn out than in VC. I'm still waiting for a GTA set in the 60s.
:lol Harsh example but he's definitely right.
You do know that the pic he's referring to is a PC pic right? Soo... PS2 > PC you heard it here first!belgurdo said:
Haters suck... If it were the exact same game I doubt anyone here would be as excited as they are. People want to play a superior version of a game!? No shit!?
They better have fixed the ped glitch.
That glitch was annoying as hell in the Double Pack, and then after everyone started emailing and calling Take 2 complaining about the glitch, they just kept ignoring us (saying "they were looking into the problem")
Eventually no fixes were found and we were stuck with a lame glitch that killed the atmosphere of the games
I will not buy it if someone reports this glitch in the game, I got burned by it pretty bad when the double pack came out.

I'm 98% sure they either fixed the glitch in later presses or it wasn't in all copies. I had it in mine and while it was a major annoyance, after a while I wouldn't even notice when the sound would drop out.
However, it never ever happened at all in my cousins copy and what's even weirder was that when I played my bugged copy on his Xbox it wouldn't let me load his save file at all. It acted as if Vice City was never played/saved on his Xbox and when I started and saved a new file there were two totally seperate Vice saves. No, not two saves under Vice City at the main memory menu... Two seperate Vice Cities like it was a completely different game.

Hmmm interesting, I never ever found someone that DIDN'T have the glitch. I only found people who thought they didn't have the glitch but what really happened was that the sound would drop out an hour or so into gameplay instead of the first 5-10 minutes (hence them not noticing it). From reading your post though, it could be that Rockstar fixed the glitch after no one cared anymore.
Cerrius said:
Yeah it's weird. I should also add that mine was purchased in NY, his in FL. So if you can't find anyone without it, it just may be because you all have copies from the same shipment etc.
Xbox GTA Double Pack. On some (most?) copies after a few minutes of gameplay the pedestrians would stop talking (random statements and such) and would'nt say a thing for the rest of the time you play. But everything else including other audio was fine.
It's time to post an high-res PS2 pic just to make real comparison. This pic is what you get with component cables + non-shitty TVs. Since i don't have an Xbox i can't judge for Xbox owners but it does not look "8 months better" now. I hope the framerate will make a real difference. There is a couple of places on the PS2 version where it drops around 15 fps. And on a certain mission in Area 69 i had something like 5 to 10 fps for maybe half a minute!.

Component cables and a good tv adds anti-aliasing to the ps2 version San Andreas?

nahh, the pics looks better. Anyway this arguing can go on forever and it's pretty much useless.
GTASA Xbox will of course look sharper and cleaner just like the GTA double pack did.
I just don't get all the exitement, people here speak like if it was night and day or something. "night and day" is more the like SNES vs PS2 imo. People are amazed at very small differences...
It also makes me think about the difference between the SNES and Genesis (that was more explicit than Xbox vs PS2 imo) and there was less people talking about that shit and exagerating stuff back then. (maybe it was just internet being less popular too)
Wyzdom said:
Eh... the excitement isn't simply due to the cleaner graphics on the pics(Xbox ones of course). It's the expected improvements that can be alluded to by comparing the Ps2 versions of 3 and Vice City to Xbox Double Pack. Specifically, the best improvements people wanted ie steady framerate and custom soundtrack. Everything else...
-Upped polygon count.
-Actual shadows.
-480p and 16:9 Progressive Scan support.
-Higher resolution textures.
-New lighting and shading models.
-Increased draw distance.
-30 second replay feature.
...are just bonuses.
Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
Wyzdom, I dig you, but why are you always trying to make us feel worse and you feel better that you don't own a Xbox? PS2 RULEZ, ok?
I will buy this again like a dirty consumer whore
Fantastic game, I look at it as a director's cut sort of thing.

Nice! I'm looking foward to play the game anyway (again)
Musashi: I'm just tempering down the discussion. I end up doing this in most of my post and about almost any subject because MANY people are always completely on the left and completely on the right. Everybody and fanboys from all the sides are always exagerated everything and it's like if nobody wants to see things in a more realistic stand point. Observe the posts on this board thinking about it and you'll see.
A minor innovation is not just called "an innovation" but they use words like "revolution" and such. When the graphic is just "better" they say something like "it's pisses all over" or "it completely destroy". I mean, people don't have any sense of mesuring or something?
If you use strong words to describe how much better will be the graphics in San Andreas, what words would you use to describe the difference between GTASA and the first GTA?
Don't forget that someone already used something strong as "night and day" comparing the 2 GTASA version already LOL

Wow, thats an innovative post! It pisses on all you people and its as clear as night and day who should be running the asylum! All we need now is a grammer cop and GAF is on its way to a real revolution!!!!!

A grammar cop :lol :lol
It doesn't hurt to be serious and look at ourselves sometimes dude. And not obligated to listen to me of course (although you really want me to be your cop).
We can express ourselves better that's for sure (me included) and it's even more important with writings because we can't see the other person's face and movements and/or hear the voice tone.
