"whats with the grand theft auto series on xbox?"

Can Microsoft not think up any ideas of a new crime gang game.Why do Microsoft have to copy PS2?

of course, the N64 one lacked the second analogue stick, so it wasn't all peaches and cream

the N64 in my view had the best controller.

you could play goldeneye, or perfect dark with one hand should you need to enjoy some snacks mid-game. the balance was set up precisely for that purpose I reckon. no other joypad has that versatility.

also, it looked like a space ship out of the star wars universe.

I like the xbox one, although on the standard one I find the black and white buttons are just a little too far away from my thumb when playing my games.

might get a small one then eh?

D-Pad too small, analogue stick placement is seriously outdated now. Basically the console could have done with another, alternative, official controller rather than just a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" approach from Sony.

The controller is the biggest hurdle for me because, quite frankly, it's not up to scratch compared to the controllers offered by Nintendo and Microsoft.

I'd rather try to play GTA with the single analogue control stick of an N64 pad and use the C-buttons to replace the other analogue.

If Sony churn out the same pad and offer no alternative when the PS3 come round I will not be purchasing it.

'Most of you'.

And the PS2 controller is perfect for GTA; the D-Pad is excellent for driving, and the analogue is perfect for character movement.

Red Faction 2
Hitman 2
Nightfire
Burnout 2
MGS2
TS2
BG:DA

Oh and we get things like Halo and Morrowind too. Doubt they'll be converted to the PS2 though.

Actually I always said it was the one game that had me coming back to considering getting a PS2.

The controller is too poor though.

1: GTA is popular and therefore will sell ALOT
2: GTA existed before the PS2

Just off the top of my head i can't think of any PS2 games which are now on the x-box, but again, off the top of my head i can think of splinter cell which was only on the x-box then months later it came out for PS2...

Now shutup!

The guy's got a point.

After all, this was the general feeling among most of you when GTA looked like it would never come to Xbox.
