In similar market type news, The Grand Theft Auto collection on Steam (GTA, GTA2, GTA3, Vice City, and San Andreas) is $15 on Steam this weekend. Unfortunately, it appears that the San Andreas Multiplayer mod doesn't work on the Steam version. :( Some people are saying you can get around that if you can find a 1.0 version of the exe to use. Maybe I'll fool around with that later. In the meantime, it's interesting to see what the game looks like at 1280x1024 with the draw distance turned all the way up.
Yeah, the high res makes the polygonal curbs stand out more, but being able to see billboards from the freeway is pretty sweet.
Vice City's looking pretty good, too.
Just the time I spent getting those screen shots was pretty weird. The control settings for the two games are significantly different. Heck, Vice City doesn't even have a walk button. I love walk buttons in games like this. Lets me strut. :)
Also the complete lack of mouselook while in vehicles in Vice City was an unpleasant surprise. :(
But that's just screwin' around. Mostly I've been playing Yakuza. Technically that's also just screwing around, but it's more interesting. It also deserves it's own entry. :P
