Hello, I would like to know whether in Vice City (as in the case of GTA III) on X-Box is a better graphics?
Ps. Sorry for my english but it's on medium level

[buzbegone]

Yep, that is the case with Vice City, the Xbox graphics are superior to both the PS2 and PC. Basically Xbox>PC>PS2

Your English is fine, don't worry about it

Thanks for fast reply.
I ask because I'll want to create X-Box VC mod for PC, but I have some problems with DffXboxToPC. I have Windows 7 and when I unpacked gta3.img from XBox VC I have many files. I can only convert files individually by dragging them to the exe file. How can i convert more files at once ?
Thanks in advance

[The_Sorrow]

Im assuming the "Extract one file at once" problem is due to your .IMG editor, Use G-IMG

If I'm incorrect I'm sorry, but I've never even looked at the Xbox files or how to convert them

[mattek]

I unpacked the files from gta3.img but can not make the dffxbox2pc convert more than one file

The PC version looks A LOT better than both the PS2 and X-Box versions(I have played the X-Box versions on the 360, thanks to Backwards Compatibility) and it is still not as good as on PC...To back that up: On the PS2 and X-Box versions, I find myself having to squint to see the icons and stuff on the in-game radar and it is near impossible to read the street signs in-game on consoles-However, on PC I do not have to squint to see and read the radar, I can read the street signs as they are clear as can be, not to mention the driving and shooting is a lot easier with mouse and keyboard then it is using a controller...Here's some proof-Which looks better: This Console screen shot? This Console screen shot? This console shot? OR This PC screenshot? Or This PC Screen shot? or This PC screen shot? The SA screen shots for PC were taken on a PC that meets minimum for the Video card, and yet it still looks a lot clearer and better than the console equivalent-lol So, I really don't see how people feel the X-Box version is better graphics than the PC version-as seen in the above screen shot comparisons? Just Curious.

For the record, the console screens were taken with an HD camera phone and the PC screens were taken with Fraps via F10 key...

This has been something I have been curious about for a LONG time, and is one of the main reasons I got a 360-to see the difference between the PS2, PC, and X-box versions...and have found(seen in the pictures above), that the PC version looks better and is not nearly as dark as the console versions...I have the brightness maxed out on the Console versions and it is still very dark when compared to the PC counterparts...?

Vice City and GTAIII were updated for XBOX release. They include e.g. more detailed car models, higher resolution textures and so on. That is not the case with San Andreas though, which looks more or less the same on XBOX and PC.

[mattek]

So in the version of the X-Box textures are in a higher resolution? I compared the texture of the hotel from the X-Box and PC and it look the same.

Not all textures are in higher resolution, just some of them.

[buzbegone]

One thing that always bothered me in the PC version was the glove-like blocks the characters use for hands. III and VC feature individual bones and looks much better on the whole.

[mattek]

So, it pays to convert these textures ?

[NikoGTA4]

Lets not forget about the 3D rims on all the cars. In PC and PS2 version, it's only a texture but on the Xbox it's a whole model, in GTA3 anc VC.
Also the steering wheels in the cars are a pentagon in in the PC and PS2 version. In the Xbox version, it has a better shape.
Also in the PC and PS2 version, the characters fingers are all pasted together, which is not the case in the Xbox version.

Just a few examples.

And those bitchin' 3d engines.

[JasonBrody]

Rockstar Vienna has done an excellent job on the Xbox conversion. Too bad they are not around any longer

[mattek]

So as soon I will try the converting
Do dffxbox2pc can convert more than one texture?

The cutscenes look better in general as well.

PC Version:


Xbox Version:


Added bonus, the Xbox introduction. Those hands.... those f*cking hands!

Yeah, those hands. I was surprised when I first played San Andreas on my Xbox, the hands looked nowhere near as good as GTA III.

[ccrogers15]

GTA 3 and VC look great on Xbox. BUT Sanandreas is all watered down looking, the cars are all milky looking too. The only good thing about xbox SA is that it supports HD displays and has better draw distance.

I just got the double pack for Xbox a month ago and just finished III and am going to start VC this weekend, can't wait. I was amazed at how good it looked, I've played both games on PS2 an PC and I thought the XB looked the best (without mods) no doubt.
Plus, if the rumors are true we may see the best looking (official) version yet, or a step back to PS2 models.

I can not do that. It is not my skill. Are the creators of the X-Box Mod for GTA III, they will do it for Vice City?
