Whooo, I've been waiting for GTA3 for a while - it looks pretty cool (nevermind damn Playstation for getting it before us PC Gamers) and we have it now...or April 12th, according to Gameplay! Also, there are rumors that there will be addons such as a Multiplayer mode and extra levels/cars. Does anyone know if this is true?

Cheers,
Shaun

Only really the PS2 can do this though. The PC/Xbox versions will have to load much more of the map to keep up this effect. I must say though the draw distance is amazing. I can see all the way to Portland from Shoreside Vale, and it hasn't even paused to load that map.

I dunno, actually. There's a lot to be generated in GTA3. I know the game doesn't load the whole thing straight away, it only loads and displays the bits you'd be able to see, if you know what I mean, which reduces the amount of memory and stuff needed, but there is a high amount of detail and you can see really far into the distance on top of the Shoreside brigde when it's up, meaning it has to generate all the visible material, taking up more memory.

Well, as far as I can tell, you'll need a pretty good PC, but I doubt you'll need a 2GHZ CPU to run it.
