A head-start on this one for DF Retro supporters! Hailing from the tail-end of 2005, True Crime: New York City is an exceptionally impressive console game... on PlayStation 2 and OG Xbox at least. The situation is somewhat less impressive on GameCube and the PC version we're revisiting here, playing on a period-appropriate PC featuring a Core 2 Duo E6600 and Radeon X800 XT. So just how many visual features are missing on PC... and why?

True Crime: New York City PC Time Capsule vs PS2: A Tech Showcase... But Not On PC!

Hailing from the tail-end of 2005, True Crime: New York City is an exceptionally impressive console game... on PlayStation 2 and OG Xbox at least. The situation is somewhat less impressive on GameCube and the PC version we're revisiting here, playing on a period-appropriate PC featuring a Core 2 Duo E6600 and Radeon X800 XT. So just how many visual features are missing on PC... and why?

Awesome looking forward to watching this later when the kids are in bed with a Brew and Buscuwit 😁 Fond memories of playing this when I was younger

I played it on GameCube, as that was the only console I had at the time. I thought it was ace that I could play a GTA like on the GameCube. I do remember it being pretty rough though

I hope the video mentions that the original game is responsible for the wonderful "gun pointed at the camera" clip art we all know and love today.
