"PC games are for rich and stupid."

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.

Dont think laptops use PCI. They use PCMCIA (also called PC cards). I think there are 2 or 3 types of these as well.

If people want to play game on their PCs let them. Why should you bother arguing about it?

It's not for doing that IT IS FOR PLAYING GAMES, by the time you have booted up I am halfway through the game anyway. I also have a PC to do the other stuff which is what it is designed for not games.

Who wants to look at a small insignificant Monitor anyway I prefer my 32 inch widescreen Sony. Then again some people have to manage with smaller packages.

And for the full install...

3 bloody gig!

anyone know if the pci card slots on a laptop can be used for pci graphics cards? or would I just have an exposed card prone to breakage.

anyway I have gta 3 and jedi knight 2 which work fine on my laptop, although I do play less system hungry games, I just bought grim fandango, sam and max also championship manager :)

remind me again of the difference in display resolution between the PC and PS2 versions?

Oh, and tell me again the extra features that will be added to the PC version.

Let's not forget that it'll be running an operating system in the background, downloading MP3s, running MSN messenger, winamp and god knows what else at the same time.

I'd love to see the PS2 perform that.

I went through a phase where I tried to use the computer for games, work, internet, etc. But it was expensive to keep the pc upto date. The games kept moving on every 6 months. Looks like things are the same today!

You might want to tell belldandy that then as I would like to see his 3 year old PC run that.

Tactical Ops rules though. {:)

And PC is still the best for online gaming.

The minimum specs for Unreal Tournament 2003 are something like 256MB RAM, and a 1.1Gig P4, or AMD Athlon.

Slightly ridiculous, methinks...
