it reminds me of times that will never come back, that i missed certain opportunities that i will never have but also when I was a kid my biggest worry was that if all homework will be done by the next day and what game will i play next, i don't know...it's just nostalgic but in a special way and here i am, 26 years old, forever alone, keeping myself alive because of work, gym and some games
@@RookerVision seriously dude I appreciate the effort you put in your videos and it pays off. My favourite video of yours is the latest side by side, GTA San Andreas.
The Xbox version was the only version to feature the higher quality vehicle models also. Pay attention to the trims, wheels and textures on the Kuruma for example.
Xbox version will always be the definitive version for the me. Those custom soundtracks and enhanced graphics really do make it a whole other game. Quite a significant boost over the PS2. Probably one of the better examples of showing why and how, multi-format 3rd party titles looked, and played better on the underappreciated Xbox.
+RookerVision - Gaming Videos Hello, can you compare all the ports of both GTA Vice City & San Andreas & give your verdict on which is the best port for the respected game?
+RookerVision - Gaming Videos I'm not sure whether to buy the original Xbox, Xbox 360, or PS4 version of San Andreas. Obviously PC always wins, but hat would you choose for the console version? Also, is the likes of Max Payne 2 & 3 on the cards?
Not impractical. It was probably there for those used to older GTA games. And it also helped performance, especially if you didn't have a T&L graphics card.
Youssef Mohamed it wasn entirely nostalgia, there were the emergency vehicle missions. You can always rely on the banshee in the dealership, hidden packages hidden weapons health armor. So many things that I loved about the game are just gone from GTA 5, not that nostalgia is clouding me
Adam Davidson I do agree on the police and ambulance side missions even though taxi & property missions in GTA 5 are pretty dope but it was cool driving around as if you are the police chasing down criminals when you are one yourself and driving as the ambulance running over more people than actually saving, but In the hidden stuff part i personally think gta5 has way cooler and more complex hidden easter eggs no doubt, even though killing with the chainsaw was really fun XD (not sure if the chainsaw was in GTA 3 or vice city though). The only thing I'm 100% sure was better in GTA 3 ,vice city and SA was the cheats, but overall I prefer GTA 5
+Youssef Mohamed Why the fck are you defending Rockstars greed? GTA V is fucking inferior to even GTA IV in terms of details and overall campaign quality. The AI in GTA V is also extremely lackcluster and shit, the driving was simplified so much, GTA IV had way more complex driving including destruction model which they simplified in GTA V for no reasons. GTA IV also has better gun combat with proper bullet physics which was AGAIN streamlined in GTA V. Your argument is flawed because you never looked at the games content wise and features. And yes I did actually have MORE fun in San Andreas than GTA V, the game just lacks replayability and the multiplayer is awful, we told Rockstar what we wanted in the next GTA game they did not listen in fact they just did all the opposite, GTA IV multiplayer was great fun because it had no limitation like the V did. Also where did vehicle missions go in GTA IV and V? Again, Rockstar cuts content for no apparent reasons, stop supporting their greed, they are not bad games but they could been better specially for the price tag they charged for it brand new.
@Paul Bell yep gotta let em know the truth haha! It's my passion playing on the old gen consoles. 6th gen being the best ever. Ps2, Xbox, gamecube, good times. Altho I grew up on nintendo my older brother was playstation and Sega so I got the best of both worlds. Im no fan boy of any system but I will tell you with facts about gaming and the benefits of each console. Now there are a lot of Xbox boys that just say fuck ps2 because they don't know shit and don't play on different hardwares.
Ah my first GTA and sandbox game. I always heard about the Xbox versions of this, Vice City, and San Andreas being very different graphically. I remember someone told me that San Andreas had an effect where blood could get on your arms and what not on Xbox. Little added details like that are always a nice touch. Anyway another great comparison RookerVision! Hope to see the other GTA games down the road.
I just love all of your videos man. Your comparisons are the best around. Not only do you get most versions of the game but you stop and point out the differences in each one. It's amazing. Just picked up gta 3 and vice city on the Xbox really cheap. Brilliant games. Love your videos and can't wait till the next one
I own the early North American *DMA Design* version its a little harder to find then most copys (my guess is because of the likely modest print run of this copy).
Still my favourite edition of the game followed closely by 2004's San Andreas. The HD games traded in replay value and fun factor for realism - sucking the life out of the series in the process.
Great video, bro. I'm a loyal Xbox player, but I played GTA III on PC for the first time, and I had a pretty good PC, then I played on Xbox, and I still prefer PC version, that version was kinda easy for me.
never noticed low draw distance on XBOX. still XBOX version looks and runs best but I still love PS2 version more because I played it first and it feels more nostalgic for me.
+RookerVision - Gaming Videos what happend to your videos its coooooooooooooooooooool or you dead do side by side every day you rock and pls do risdent evil 4
You were missing on one detail. In the PS2 version you can see reflections of lights on the streets when it rains. This effect is abscent in the Xbox version.
@@iancruz6617 what do you mean? In the PS 2 Version you can see the reflections of traffic lights, car lights and street lights. Don't know if the pc version has that. But definitely not the Xbox version.
Just search for GTA 3 ps2 rain. Don't know why, but there is a video of the ps2 version for night rain atmosphere. There you can see those glorious reflections.
I was shocked to see a detail in GTA 3 Near Staunton island safehouse,there will be water sprinkled(from AC) on the floor, if u walk in it, u will get the sound of splashing water and cars will struggle(a little) to move in that place Not to mention about good reflections✌️
Eh, not exactly. I was born around the time GTA 3 released, and infact owned a PS2 back when i was 7, and take a wild guess at what my 2 favorite games were, Gta 3, and Gta Vice city. Also, i shortly got Gta 4 right after, but it never gave me the fun it was to play as a mute asshole or some scarface like badass from miami.
I've had GTA III since I was five and now I'm twelve. I play this game like everyday just to collect hidden packages or have fun with the weapons cheats.
I wasn't even aware of any graphical updates when I picked up the Xbox version a few years ago. Totally blown away. It's the true way to play the game. That said, the way the camera rotates when beating someone with fists/bat is kinda annoying, so the modded PC version is def the way to go in the end. Plus, gunsgunsguns for all your home defense needs.
The comparisons of this dude actually focus on the key differences. Not simply a side-by-side gameplay to let viewers figure out what the differences are. As Borat would say: I LAIK
Grab the GTA3 Essential Fixes + Xbox Revision Pack from a Steam Guide. After this you have pretty much the best modded version, while staying true to the original and not changing anything beside of adding HD support, XBOX enhancements and some graphic enhancements.
PS2 is the best version without a doubt. It had way more features because of the renderware engine was at it's best at the PS2 release. They couldn't port it to pc or something and therefore they had to do some rework on things for pc, also the ps2 had the original car colours without the chrome around it wich make the cars stand out a bit more. they also had some issues with Vice City and San Andreas on pc and those were more broken then GTA 3 is on pc. All 3 games 3D era are the best on PS2.
Just got GTA 3 on my Xbox. I love the PS2 copy, but i felt like getting a GTA double pack on Amazon. The seller even gave me an unopened copy of Vice city!
I'm curious why you think the Xbox version is superior to a fully and properly modded PC version? I didn't replay this on PC yet other than modding it and testing it one day... but in the video it clearly looks like the modded PC is the best option.
∞Phantasm It looks like the vanilla PC version is a port of the PS2 version with a few enhancements done in the year between releases. The Xbox version, however, came out a year after the PC version and two after the PS2; they could've easily enhanced the graphics over what they put in the PC version. Back then, there _were_ a lot of games that looked better on console. It wasn't like today.
***** Yes, I know that and I owned all 3 versions. It's irrelevant to the question though, because there are mods that bring over the Xbox enhancements to the PC version, as explained in the video. My question was what makes the Xbox version better than a properly modded PC version (with all the Xbox enhancements and Ginput Xinput controller support)? Also it's worth noting, the Xbox version cannot be rendered higher than 720p, while the PC version can display any resolution.
Minor detail. I always preferred Claudes original PS2 jogging animation. Something about the Xbox, PC, and 10 year anniversary jogging animation always looked strange to me
Ehh, you could have used a better mod for the PC modded version, the reflections on yours look like the m,odded ENB profile from the old Xbox mod, where as SkyGFX restores the Xbox reflections and allows them to be rendered in higher quality. You can even get the Xbox map with shadows and Xbox vehicles on the PC version now too pretty much making the PC version the best around if combined with SkyGFX and SilentPatch (fixes many other smaller broken things in the game).
***** SkyGFX has improved a lot since then, the Xbox pipeline has been rewritten and especially for GTA3/VC where it now does ALL the world stuff, rim lighting, etc. NEO is just the name of the folder strand, the work is still RenderWare, and the reflections on PC can have a custom resolution, so they can go beyond the original 128x128 (512x512 looks great).
***** Those bugs have been sorted now, and it's still different from the Xbox version due to the fact you can render the PC version up and increase the samples for said effects.
iirc, the xbox version was made with exclusive textures by Rockstar Vienna, not North. As much as i agree that PC gaming generally looks better, I feel the GTA3 era games as well as 4 were ported with a potato, as the console versions looked better without the mods that restore the missing features. also, while i wont dispute the xbox was generally more powerful, i feel those textures could have been achieved on a ps2 but werent because Rockstar was still getting used to 3D gaming and tbe PS2. After all, GTA VC has reflective vehicles on the PS2. Thanks for this video, though, quite fascinating to see side by sides that werent still images.
"Xbox is the best" Was not expecting that...especially considering anything beyond 10m in front looks like a muddy mess. The modded PC version is far superior.
+That Fur It's hilarious seeing you console fanboys trying to argue that older and inferior hardware somehow produces better graphical results than PC. And unlike consoles, PC has modding capability which means the enhancements are endless.
Y pensar que el GTA III iba a salir como un exclusivo del Sega Dreamcast. Que lástima que lo cancelaron, al igual que Max Payne. Si tuviera que elegir una de las versiones, obviamente me quedo con la de XBOX.
Can you do Pirates The Legend of Black Kat? great game nobody talks about it, there is a ps2 and xbox version very different graphics wise… i think it also plays in xbox 360 thank you
Grand Theft Auto III is and always will be my favorite Grand Theft Auto game of all time. When seriousness was applied to the games. I just don't get the old GTA vibe with GTA 5. I don't harass people when they say something negative about GTA III, it's there opinion. Unlike little kids harrassing people because someone said something negative about GTA V. God I miss this game.
Actually if i rememeber right, the mobile version is a port of the PC version, and even some of the scrapped multiplayer maps were found in the mobile game.
Gran Turismo 4 on ps2 was awesome....it pushed it to its limits...and it could run at 1080i which was insane for ps2...it also looked alot better than some xbox games....
Man i REALLY do prefer the brighter version of GTA III that they had planned, but then later decided not to. It looks a lot more "HD & Alive" in my opinion. Still a world changing game nonetheless.
The mobile versions have had a HUGE upgrade since this video. I would almost say beyond original Xbox, mobile is the best way to play (with a controller of course).

we need this game on the Xbox one for bc
I also remember the explosions looking considerably better.
Just look at claudes prison jumpsuit, on the xbox you can actually read the lettering on his back
Mobile too
Nah PC version was way better
Ps2: best controls
Xbox:best graphics
Pc:best camera
Pc free aim so it's the best and it had mods
ThatTeenNamedRhandy I will say mobile has the best camera we can use a camera in a car
Pc best
NP man after all ps2 was the first version
Jon Baxhuku
That or no problem
Correction most of the Grand Theft Auto were not all on *Games for Windows* and In fact were actually on *PC DVD-Rom.*
True, because of the sizes of the changes compares to ps2 and storage space used for fmv's, settings and other things in general...
15 years of Gta3 and i still play it sometimes, well done.
Now 20

The mobile version is based on a late beta build so that can explain the changes.
It's same as the Xbox version
I like how GTA3 had a Top-Down Camera option. An impractical gimmick, but quite a unique perspective.
Not impractical. It was probably there for those used to older GTA games. And it also helped performance, especially if you didn't have a T&L graphics card.
i have way more fun in single player gta 3 than gta 5
it's probably cause it brings back memories and nostalgia, because GTA 5 is much better cause it doesn't have technical limitations like GTA 3

***** Those bugs have been sorted now, and it's still different from the Xbox version due to the fact you can render the PC version up and increase the samples for said effects.
Could you do Hulk or Hulk Ultimate destruction comparison?
I've always wondered if there was a difference between the Xbox and PS2 version. Thanks :)
No problem.. Anytime
+DD dorsett the ps4 one is the same as the ps2 one doesn't worth the comparison
+DD dorsett still the same game and pcx2 is also upscaling doesn't worth comparing
+DD dorsett both are upscaled which doesn't count
+wulf I recorded these all on their systems. Ps2 captured on ps2, xbox on xbox, pc on pc.
iirc, the xbox version was made with exclusive textures by Rockstar Vienna, not North. As much as i agree that PC gaming generally looks better, I feel the GTA3 era games as well as 4 were ported with a potato, as the console versions looked better without the mods that restore the missing features. also, while i wont dispute the xbox was generally more powerful, i feel those textures could have been achieved on a ps2 but werent because Rockstar was still getting used to 3D gaming and tbe PS2. After all, GTA VC has reflective vehicles on the PS2. Thanks for this video, though, quite fascinating to see side by sides that werent still images.
I agree, the ps2 could achieve those textures easily. Look at San Andreas, looks great on PS2...
The GTA 3 INTRO ( them song ) Memories💔♥️
Great video man! Awesome comparisons
"Xbox is the best"
Was not expecting that...especially considering anything beyond 10m in front looks like a muddy mess. The modded PC version is far superior.
Oh no, please no. You're the sweaty nerds in their dungeon chanting "PC MASTER RACE!!", just go away.
K.I.A Zombitch I didn't hear him say pc master race
+That Fur It's hilarious seeing you console fanboys trying to argue that older and inferior hardware somehow produces better graphical results than PC. And unlike consoles, PC has modding capability which means the enhancements are endless.
The Xbox version didn't need to be modded, it was amazing upon release.
Why is this an argument
PS2 memories man!
What about Catalina's model, she went from having a small shirt under her jacket to nothing under her jacket, almost naked.
Y pensar que el GTA III iba a salir como un exclusivo del Sega Dreamcast. Que lástima que lo cancelaron, al igual que Max Payne. Si tuviera que elegir una de las versiones, obviamente me quedo con la de XBOX.
i said xbox half way through in this, glad you thought the same. Great vid
it looks friggen weird how all the cars in the Xbox version are all clean and shiny.
Can you do Pirates The Legend of Black Kat? great game nobody talks about it, there is a ps2 and xbox version very different graphics wise… i think it also plays in xbox 360 thank you
I'll add it to my list. It's a big list though, lots of requests.. lol
thank you it will be worth the wait I'm sure
Grand Theft Auto III is and always will be my favorite Grand Theft Auto game of all time. When seriousness was applied to the games. I just don't get the old GTA vibe with GTA 5. I don't harass people when they say something negative about GTA III, it's there opinion. Unlike little kids harrassing people because someone said something negative about GTA V. God I miss this game.
Actually if i rememeber right, the mobile version is a port of the PC version, and even some of the scrapped multiplayer maps were found in the mobile game.
you could do Mafia next. pc and console versions are quite different. would make an interesting comparison
Thank you... I'll add it to the list
Well done 10/10 💯 would probably watch again.
great vid man
Awesome Video Guys...
Thank you my man
This is a good upload 👀🙏
Gran Turismo 4 on ps2 was awesome....it pushed it to its limits...and it could run at 1080i which was insane for ps2...it also looked alot better than some xbox games....
xbox has 720p and 1080i games too. (NTSC exclusive)
Back then I was a kid when I played the game for the first time and no idea what mission and those English letters meant...
Man i REALLY do prefer the brighter version of GTA III that they had planned, but then later decided not to. It looks a lot more "HD & Alive" in my opinion. Still a world changing game nonetheless.
Goddamn, the PS2 Liquor sign turned full Chinese.
I didn’t notice the difference till today
I love this channel 💥
Nice comparisons
i guess the police van was Undercover :D
The mobile versions have had a HUGE upgrade since this video. I would almost say beyond original Xbox, mobile is the best way to play (with a controller of course).
Great video!
