Rockstar collection now on steam

Bizarre · 4 Jan 2008 at 21:45

A great introduction to steam imo, and the prices aren't too bad either.

I've just bought Maxpayne 1+2 for £10 odd inc vat. Not bad.

Damn $60 for them all.

Does anyone know if these versions have decent i.e. configurable joypad support?

So £30 (ish) for how many games? Sounds like a good deal to me.

Very tempting indeed!

This made me want to play Vice City again. But it doesn't seem to like my 360 controller and I don't have my PS2 to PC converter anymore.

Tis a sad night.

Surely the steam versions will have better controller configs? Thats all I want to know before I start to download them.

Remember to add tax on top of that, and PayPal's currency conversion charges (nicely hidden in a slightly-lower-than-normal exchange rate) if you use it, so it could add up to £40. Still, it's not a bad deal if you've not played any or many of the games, but for me the Max Payne bundle will do nicely. I don't quite understand why they don't offer GTA1, 2 and that other game for free, seeing as though they can be downloaded straight from Rockstar anyway.

I doubt anything would have changed TBH. Maybe its my setup though and not the game. I'll try and fix it tomorrow, too late now.

Does Max Payne 1 on Steam work on Vista x64? I cannot get my MP1 CD to install on Vista x64.

Sounds like a right billy bargain, all those games for <£40
Of course, most people likely have played some/all of them. But Vice City, San Andreas, and the two MP titles are all superb.

Just noticed that myself on steam news. Brilliat collection to add. Maybe in preparation for the release of GTA4 on pc?

Not liking the chances of GTA 1 and 2 working then. Guess I'll have to pass up on this offer.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 5 Jan 2008 at 14:25

Funny thing is I was just sitting on the toilet reading my latest subscription copy of pczone and they mentioned max payne. It dawned on me Ive never finished max payne 2 so may have to take this up.

Last time I looked you could download gta1/2 for free from their site.

Doubt it. Max Payne has problems on Vista - there's no sound for starters. You have to change all the sound files to a different format!

MP1 did not install or run well in XP (crashes all the time), you had to grab a Pre-Install Patch, run it, then install the Game, then Update Patch it. (no crashes).

It will be the same story for Vista, and may need XP-SP2 Compat Mode.
