GameSpy: Will both games support high-definition progressive scan modes? If so, what's the maximum resolution supported?
Hannes Seifert: We upped the resolution for HDTV usage, enabling 480p support along with a 16:9 aspect ratio for widescreen TVs. The end result is a larger viewable frame that is considerably sharper.
GameSpy: Are there any changes, in terms of storyline or gameplay, or is the Xbox pack simply a tasty port of the PS2 titles?
Hannes Seifert: The gameplay hasn't changed -- Grand Theft Auto is Grand Theft Auto, we didn't want to change it. We felt that this would be unfair to everyone who already knows it and loves it for what it is. Both games already have an enormous number of vehicles and a huge variety of missions resulting in hundreds of hours of gameplay. We didn't want to mess with that. They are the same games that millions of PS2 owners couldn't tear themselves away from. However, thanks to the powerful hardware capabilities of the Xbox, we've been able to make significant improvements in the graphics. We've done everything possible to ensure that an Xbox player gets a great game with an even more polished look.

Players will also be able to create their own stations and can make multiple soundtracks by ripping their favorite CD's onto the Xbox hard drive. Grand Theft Auto 3 recognizes each soundtrack as a CD that can be changed by the new CD changer (in vehicle), and for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (since it is the '80s) each new custom soundtrack will be recognized as a tape that can be changed in the new tape deck (in vehicle). Being that the Xbox supports Dolby 5.1, we were able to enhance the sound quality and make sure each effect was at its best.
