Finally a confirmation by Sony that a GTA3 add-on is on its way. Vice City will be Grand theft auto's equivalent of the real American city of Miami. Just like in the first game.
Hopefully we'll be treated to a more beautiful and less smoggy city than in the original game, but the question I want to know is will rockstar make use of the PS2's hard drive to give us more cars and a bigger and better city that in GTA 3?
I hope they do.

i hope with the hardrive coming there won't be many annoying patchs, PC players have so many versions of the same game it loses it's identity.

To have your own gangs would ruin the game though. too many people will want gang wars at the same time which commits a HUGE lag in the internet compartment and too much design and work would have to go into making your own gangs. How about this, you become a games designer and then you can tell them what to do.

I'm with you on that one. I have some great games on my PC, but I spend too much time patching the games up than actually playing them. I don't know whether or not the PS2's HD will be used in the same way by developers. I hope not.
Anyway by the time GTA: Vice City is released (October this year I've heard) the PS2 should have both the Hard Drive unit and modem. This means we will be able to download more cars and missions from the internet. It would make the game longer and add to the replayability.

I hope it will be like the sims because you can download some cool stuff instead of buying add-ons.
I'm with on welcoming the add on but will the whole hard drive thing fit in with GTA3 on the PC? What I mean is that all the modding/downloading thing can be generated on the PC but will it be possible for user created items (cars etc) to be ported across from the PC game to the PS2 game.
Probably not, I know, but its just interesting, the idea of side by side PS2/PC versions of the same game could become a new big deal. Interesting non?

This sounds like another must-have game to add to my most wanted list! can't wait!!

Indeed it is an interesting idea. I don't think console owners would want to bog themselves down with spending hours creating skins for new cars or writing scripts for new missions.
The only add-ons from the web for GTA3 on the PS2 I can see, are those from the offical developers, and not user created. Joining up with the PC would mean console and PC gamers would be able to get more add-ons from each others system, and keep the game going for months.
The problem though is that the PC version of the game would be different from the PS2 game sinse they are totally different systems. It may not be possible to convers skins and scripts from the PC to the PS2. Although thats something we'll have to wait and see until we can find out for sure.
