GTA3 Vice City

I played it for a few minutes on my friend's PS2... but quickly got sick of the ugly graphics and average framerates. When will it be coming to PC???

Besides... I love adding my own cars to GTA3!

Technically, GTA 3 PC port was horrible, hopefully VC will be much better.

im hoping so, cos i could have kept playing GTA3 missions for a lot longer than the game was, i bought it the day it came out like last year, or the year before, if there were so many missions, i could easily still play GTA3 now

I just saw a commercial (which kicked butt) and it said, "coming to PC soon" so probabaly within then next few weeks. Also a note, I think it is just GTA: Vice City not GTA3: Vice City, meaning it is not a sequal/add on but rather a new game.

It required a very good graphics card, at the time it came out, the graphics cards that could run it properly were about £300-£350
