For sure, i loved that game a lot when it was released nearly a decade ago. I am sure it will bring back and refresh a lot of old memories.

I still set up my PS2 and play GTA III on a semi-regular basis.

I know that this release is not HD, but I'm wondering if there would be any benefit buying it on PSN? My PS3 is plugged into my TV with an HDMI cable, so should I expect the picture to be any clearer than with my PS2?

Anyone who can make a comprehensible comparison, that would be great!

Thanks.

I couldn't wait, I got my old PS2 with HDD adapter out of storage, and the other day I bought a DS2 from the Goodwill, time to test all that hardware, with San Andreas classic!! I have the PC versions already, but my main concern on the PSN version is over licensing, what was the contested licensing and was it overcome so there was no alteration made? That is what I would mostly like to hear. It goes to the argument that PS2 is the best way to go, if you can. Since there's no embellishment for these.

Good comment about PS3 connection via HDMI, but as my good friend PCguytech_2005 informed me over a year ago, Monster Cable offered HD resolution cables for the PS2, he says it's already producing an HD level game quality wise, at least the low end spectrum, it's seriously doubtful there's any PSN version advantage, but small text is the thing to observe, with GTA IV it's really the most difficult on older TVs, as has been my experience!

I might buy it, I don't know. I have it for PC, so...not sure if it is worth the investment.

Well, on my site I plan to link some scans I just made, as yet, not uploaded, but they will be! PC Gamer covered GTA in a very cool spread back in May 2003 IIRC, Vice City was out for PC, and they took a look back to GTA 1, 2, and 3, with a sidebar article on modding at that time, there are links that maybe dead nowadays, but I suspect I'll be trying them myself. Seeing what Mods for GTA III might still be alive

One of which was a 2 person LAN multiplayer mod, hoped to expand to 6 players using code they found in GTA 3, I missed that article while I was online, or at least, late in 2003 I joined GTAF to chat about the game, so it's hard to remember, but back in 2000, with GTA 2, IIRC, it scored less then 70 and probably always scored lowest among the GTA titles

I just made a topic on your site, and sent you a PM.

Well to avoid any further issues, I'm not going to help cross promote GTAF or C by mentioning them here, I just hope to inspire peeps, and bring them up to date on what I / we know... If I'm wrong, or off base with facts, cordially correct me by all means, but I do ask people respectfully do so.

Appreciate you taking an active forumer approach, no matter which site!!
