No chance at all.That goes for future GTA titles as well.Rockstar signed on for exclusively PS2 of the consoles.Sony must have paid BIG bucks to them.

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

The exclusivity contract only runs until 2004, I believe. I know that it will end in a few years.

With multiplayer...right?


yeah right. rumor is there won't be any multi, though if we're lucky gta4 might have it.

i was really dissapointed when gta3 didn't have multi. We used to play multiplayer gta2 for hours in our dorm. It was a blast. EVERYONE's computer could run it , so there was rarely a problem getting players. Loads of fun.

You mean, you didn't have any problems at all?

In every MP GTA2 game, I've played, at some time, there always ended up being out of sync (But somehow it was "funny" to see one screen a player jumping into the ocean, while on the other screen he's driving around in a car ). And since out MP games, always was being played in the same room, we could always hear when someone makes a kill:

Player1: Yes, I finally got you, but what the hell where you doing, you danced around this place for a long time?
Player2: What do mean, you killed me? I have been chasing (and still is) Player3 for the last 5 minutes... I'm just at his tail, though he's got a faster car than mine...



But yes... really sad, they didn't include MP (and don't include it) in GTA3. It has a lot of possibilities, for different MP types...

Well. . . . we did have problems. But mostly connectivity issues. I don't recall the game ever getting out of sync like that.


Ahh. . . yelling at your neighbors. Thats the way we did things allright. UT was the same as well . . .

I know. There's been a couple times while driving around I've thought, "I wonder if I can get a Triple Insane stunt bonus with that speed bump?" Or things like that; you know, just a brief glimpse of an idea to do something crazy.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I didn't figure it myself either, but i read a tutorial somewhere.
Basically the trick is, if you want to go up, you have to go down first..

Here's how you take off:
You align yourself on the runway off course, and then you press the dodo down button, i forgot what the default was, it should show somehwere in your config, as turret up/down, or dodo up/down.
So you're standing there pressing the down button (not down arrow, i'll call that the brake button). Then you accelerate, keeping the down button pressed. Yyou keep accelerating, and after a while, you'll notice the nose of the dodo going down, when it starts scraping the floor (you'll see sparks coming off), you can release the down button, and jump up in the air. But don't release the down button for to long, or you'll stall and crash.
For your first flight i'd recommend taking the left runway, it doesn't require you to evade any bulidings on the other island.

To gain altitude, you first go down a few feet, let the dodo align itself and it'll raise a few feet.

Once you get the hang of it, you can pretty much land anywhere, even on buildings.


This is where i got the cops after me, they can't hurt you if you're up there, and the building is just long and high enough to take off from again after you got 6 stars.

I haven't learned to fly that dodo yet, so I actually drove it all the way to the export/import garage... I wonder what the citicense of Liberty City would think of that (to see a plane drive by...)

For faster take offs, i've increased the Dodo's acceleration to 30, about the same as the Cheetah and Banshee, i can now take from on pretty much any street, as long as it doesn't end up against a building. I also increased the top speed, but that doesn't seem to have an effect. I think that when it hits a certain speed on the ground, it takes off, and you can't accelerate any further with the throttle. And i also made it invulnerable, so i can crash and continue anywhere.

eh...i forgot the default config, but you can look it up in your control settings, the controls are called "Dodo up" and "Dodo down"

It may have been home and end...but i'm really not sure.
