They do look good, only not what I expected. To be honest, I thought this next one was going to be the next big move, in terms of graphics at least. Instead the shots look like a well-polished vice city. Still, that doesn't detract from the fact that you can clearly see a drive-by going on plus some guy on a bicycle.
This is still gonna be gold.
What do we think?
I saw a bike in one of the shots, will they be ridable?
Oh and did they tell anyone what features it would include or did they just show the pics?
Apart from sunset, palm trees and pretty colours. Which got annoying in Vice City. Get back to gritty GTA3!
Still the pics look cool and this is yet another game to add to the must purchase of 2004 :)
Much of Vice City is good, so as long as they dont go backwards and mess something up, this should be good.
Saying that, im still looking forward to Driver 3 more than GTA at the moment.
San Andreas, Vice City and GTA3 all use the same base game engine.
New vehicles etc. are easy for the game creators to implement in the engine, it's more a case of the artists getting them right.
GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas are just different stories with exactly the same gameplay.
The only new things in this game will be weapons and vehicles, there will not be any new control system or graphicxcs system. Obviously some new features, but the GTA engine was already quite lush considering the vast landscapes on offer, reflective puddle sbeing a prime example.
Roll on GTA:SA videos...
