"Vice city will crush all opposition"

Having seen the spec for GTA Vice City there is only one game to get this Christmas and its not a stupid old fart plumber that should have been flushed down the toilet along time ago.

Vice City looks awesome with 120 vehicles, 40 weapons, and 9hrs worth of audio in glorous DTS sound the Gamecubes rubbish disc could not even hold the audio not to mention having no Dolby sound anyway.

Still never mind Pokemon is coming and we all know the quality of that has been series.

That is right, it is just to easy to make a cheap port of the PS2 original game then Xbox and GC owners already know that.

Vice City will certainly be up near or at the top of the list, but I actually think that one or 2 others will give it a good run for it's money. I still think there will be a Ninty/GC game near or at the top as well.

Why is it that a old console like the PS2 has a system like DTS and yet a newer console like the Gamecube has older analogue technology. Should not be supprised though it is not like it has USB, Firewire, Optical in support, just as well they have twin high speed serial connections with wait for it Burst mode a bit like the turbo button on your old 486 pc and we all know how good that was.

Yes, yes, yes. Much like the average boyband single, I expect GTA:VC to top the charts. And much like the average boyband single, it's popularity masks its mediocrity.

It's down to EA's sloppy ports, they did the same with SSX Tricky.

Oh and on another note, I don't think GTA: Vice City will be Xmas number 1, don't get me wrong it's gonna be one of the best if not the best selling game of the year but as it's an adult orientated game I don't see it being Xmas number 1.

But that's down to the developers surely?

Actually, GC does have Dolby surround sound. Dolby Pro-Logic II - it's analogue! Much hyped feature i seem to recall.

Think when I was messing with NFS on PS2, I found the Audio menu in the game setup. Choice of Mono, Stereo, or Dolby Pro-Logic II. All done is the software I guess, and still not a problem for the ps2. Weird how the GC actually has the Pro-Logic II hardware proper, yet NFS doesn't run as well on that console.

Ahh. Bye.

On a serious note, I do think that Vice City will probably be the Xmas number 1.
But that's still no reason for all the needless Nintendo bashing.

Oh ya more of Tecnho Freaks incessant babble.
