Yeah - The xbox has 5.1 support remember :P

If I remember correctly - The PS2 only has 5.1 in cutscenes.

Improved sound? Doubt that very much for Vice City. The only PS2 game (or video game for that matter) to run throughout in 6.1 DTS surround sound. Yes the custom soundtracks will make GTA 3 better however the soundtrack in Vice City rocks as it is. The sound in GTA 3 can be improved but Vice City I can't see what they can do to it.

But... it'll just be the PC port.

I mean its like MGS2 and Substance... what was the point in porting the downgraded version? Exactly there wasn't one so you got the upgraded edition.

Same here, you will simply get the upgraded PC version of the game.

I say simply It'll be an excellent game. Just don't expect massive X-box improvements.

Probably, make it easier to code all the new improvements from.

The thing with PC games is there is such a wide variety of hardware to support or at least attempt to support.

The Xbox though doesn't. It's all the same, and with it being a PC style architecture then it should make it easier to code for.

Oh and it'll be a port of the PC games...

Surley that's obvious.

Like Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Spyro and Crash?

A small bit of pity emerges.

Notorious Biggles/Tiltawhirl - I think the developers will incorporate hard drive usage into the game - Like I said earlier.

Anyone know when its gonna be released?
