New pics up. One thing though....are these the main characters from GTA3, GTA: VC, and GTA: SA in the same screenshot?

Why is there such a large group of people who don't get this. We've said it many times here.

Whats the general opinion on GTA3 and VC on Android? I got a Galaxy s3 for christmas...I kind of hate touch controls for most things but I thought maybe the increase in screen real estate might help things.

Edit: And I don't suppose San Andreas is on it's way?

It's okay to play, if you really hate touch controls it will still suck though. If you have a PS3 controller you can use that.

I'd love to know what VC is like, but whenever I go to buy it, the Google Store tells me it's not available in my country yet.

Vice City is a little better on control than GTA3 but the best way to play either is with a bluetooth controller. With a controller, its a near perfect copy.

I've tried playing Vice City on my Nexus 7 and just cannot get used to the touch control. I just keep screwing it up royally every time it's important. Even just plain driving is overly challenging if you don't want to wait at every red light -- not a problem with regular controls.

A bluetooth controller sounds nice, but I don't see myself ever pulling one out on transit. I guess if I really want to play Vice City again I may as well do it at 1920x1200 on my Steam copy.

Side note, if I recall correctly, I was able to carry my Vice City save over from CD to Steam. Took me 5 years to beat but I did it eventually. No such luck with San Andreas though... I loved that game, but my DVD copy crashed incessantly (I suspect the disc protection was at fault). It worked flawlessly on Steam, but it was a bitter pill to restart from the beginning. One day.

Do you guys know what the consequences of the various GTA4 "decisions" are? I always have this nagging feeling that by deciding to kill someone instead of letting them live, I'm missing out on content like entire missions and such.

All I know is you def want to kill playboy x, which gets you his jailbird friend as a phone friend. He's a depressing dude but if he likes you you'll be able to call him and get 2 goons to follow you around and help out. Which is way fun.

Here's the complete guide to decisions in GTA IV and what they cause: http://en.wikigta.org/wiki/Storyline_choices_%28GTA_IV%29

Basically almost all of them involve "if you let this guy survive, then you get one additional random character mission out of them".

Why wouldn't you kill Playboy? Dude's a loving tool. Also you get another safe house with the sweet Claude clothes. It brings a certain nostalgic charm wearing that.

I mean Playboy, he ain't that cool anyways to keep living.

Hell he still berates you if you go for the other decision when he was the one who wanted it in the first place.

Dont use matchmaking, go into "Custom Match" via your phone. It'll be like a regular server browser then.

I listened to the EP on Spotify, and "Down Down Down" and "Fist Till Morning" barely have lyrics. That's a bit disappointing, honestly (although I suppose you could argue that "FIST! FIST! FIST TILL MORNING!" is all the lyrics you ever need).

At least "Dangerous Bastard" still owns. :rock:

Love Fist Fury or whatever it was called has been floating around forever too. I could have sworn it was also on the V-Rock volume of the soundtrack.

It's not on the VRock CD. Though, it's not like it's hard to just extract it from the ingame soundtrack.
