Let us take a moment to commiserate with all those yahoo's wot said iOS gaming would never amount to anything. Bahahahahah. I Laugh so Hard. I Cry.
Yes, it is. The quote about it not being a direct port goes on to explain what that means: Basically, no, it's not going to be a direct port the intent is for the new version to be superior to the original.
I own the PC version, got it back in 05' I will try compare the two. But I think the mobile version will look better than both PS2 & PC. The PC version was better than PS2 version in-terms of color pallets and character models.
GTA3 on iOS looked better than the original game (it used the models from the XBox 10th anniversary version), and GTA VC on iOS also looked better than the original game.
Agree,also VICE CITY was a port of the PC Version,I think that they used the PC version as base,and enhanced textures,effects,and all the other stuff..
I have the updated Mac version so it may be a port of this. No controller support on mac (not with my xbox pad anyway) so can't wait for this! This will surely look Better with the smaller screen and updated pixels.
IGN confirmed that it's not a PS2 Port,but San Andreas was also on PC,XBOX,this doesn't mean necessary that it's not the full game,also if I'm sure that some features,like they do with GTA VICE CITY,like swimming,are not in iOS version..
