After just reading the spec from Gta VC on the PC, I had to laugh at the sort of power you need to run this game. 800mhz PC with 32mb graphics card. My laptop which is only 2 years old the same as my PS2 I might add has 700mhz and 16mb graphics card would not be able to run this game at optimum performance and we all know the consequences of that. Missing scenery less objects and slowdown problems, all qualities stupid PC gamers love in there games so I say carry on I will stick to my clapped out old PS2 which will play the game properly because it was designed too.

Top Score you really can't take iyt when you're wrong can you?

You can't take other peoples opinions, you're patronizing and most of all you're annoying. Act this way in the real world and the firt thing you'll be getting is a swift kick to the jacobs....unless you've had that operation you where talking about.....

No he hasn't admited your the winner. He is fed up of arguing with someone who is so stupid that they can't even tell when they have lost the argument.

Most PC software has not developed over the last 5 years you get a new version of say Photoshop or Acrobat reader and there is very little to show why you should spend hundreds of pounds upgrading software and the hardware to run it, the only function they do seem capable of is using more ram up.

This is not just me that thinks this way, the public and industry are also fed up with the countless and less face it needless upgrades and over the last 18months there has been a sharp decline in the number of new PC's sold.

It is not I have anything against PC's I even have one which I use to go on the net, 5 years old though but that's is all I need, it does spread sheets, word processing, has photoshop and so on so why do I need my PS2 to do that? I use that for games and watching dvd's a bit like the other 40million people.

I knew what Echelon_vs_Lightforce was on about!
To design anything, you have to use a PC. Expect to see the higher end studios to be running UNIX, SPARC work stations, while the lower end struggle by on "normal" PC's.
I couldnt do my job on a PS2, I *need* a computer. Thing is though, by sticking with the console for games, the PC stays freed up from game data and stuff, and I can do my job even if my computer is not right upto date. If I were to start using it for all games, that would change. I would have to upgrade a lot more just to run the latest games, etc.

I wasn't talking about ports you fanboy. All console game developers (PS2, Xbox, GameCube) primarily use PCs (with the console connected) to develop their games.

I'll spell it out, because you are obviously hard of thinking...

Without PCs (which you seem to hate so much) you wouldn't be able to play console games.

*sigh*

Anyway, I’ve had enough. I hate fanboys at the best of times.

Oh and if you expect me to believe you have a Lexus, then you must think I came down in the last shower sunshine. Someone with such a blinkered, narrow and small-minded view on the world outside his bedroom can barely be old enough to leave school, let alone drive a car of any kind.
