Poor ports my ass, Vice City runs a helluva lot better than the PS2 ever did.

#6.1 Solarix on 18 May 2003 - 12:35

[neoquote=#6.1 by Solarix]true that plus smooother and no more lag,[/neoquote] The PS2 version had lag? O_o

[neoquote=#6.2 by nookadum]The PS2 version had lag? O_o[/neoquote] Must blame something.

it doesn't even feel like a port, and i heard it was built from the ground up too.

#8 DUZLA+ on 19 May 2003 - 00:17

I read the ps2 version ran 15-30fps...the pc version on my pc runs 30-70fps wi frame limiter off, I noticed the different sound options caused lagg,,software mode seemed to be best

go figure.

I sometimes have colors surrounding plants and trees, I wonder if this counts as "graphic corruption" or not?

#9.1 DUZLA+ on 19 May 2003 - 17:40

I got the plant problem too but i just put it down to bad texture transparencies
