Rockstar has annonunced yesterday that the hit game Grand Theft Auto IV, is coming to PC late this fall. I have a 360 already but I think this is a great move.

ya i so know they were full of it when they said this wouldnt come to PC. they are just trying to rip people off again.

Thats good news but I already got a PS3 for GT5 and purchased GTA because I didn't wanna wait.

ya but its just not the same as on a PC, its just so much better in my opinion.

Do you think the requirements will be similar to San Andreas? I'd really like to be able to play this before I can build my new computer.

hopefully the requirements are ALOT higher than San Andreas.
San Andreas actually had really low requirements and i was getting insane FPS even with the 10x distance mod on.
it would be nice if GTA IV could have some nice graphics for PC.

w00t im mega happy now!! have been hoping this was goin to happen ever since they released it for the consoles!!!

Thanks for the info guys

This is a joke right? Personally I am still trying to look for that red head that was in the X-box version of GTA:VC. They are going to cut out things and some of the dialoag will be missing too. I just bet

Personally from what I have been seeing the new GTA is probably the most worst one. Going back to basics and insighting viloence and angry public ideas. I remember I heard that GTA:SA was even being played in the student's lounges my Junior Highschool that I wented to. I can't believe that even the dean who hawked us back then was even playing the game.

I think the GTA 3 and VC were the best of the series, I don't like how they've taken out cool stuff like Killing Sprees, planes, random stuff in GTA4 and instead added crap like a social system and having to meet up with people all the time. GTA was all about being a total rogue guy who wasn't attached to anything and did want he wanted, that was so cool.

Although then you do have cool things in GTA4 like being able to shoot in all directions from car, being able to jack locked cars, and obviously better graphics.

I am really looking forward to GTA4 on the PC because you'll be able to use a mouse. It is what GTA4 on the consoles is lacking and any fps on the console is lacking too (NB I did not say GTA4 was an fps).

So yeah, looking forwad to GTA4 on PC, even though it is nowhere near the best of the GTA series. Bring it on, hopefully it'll make the most of my 4870X2 in Crossfire.

Should be a nice game to play, as im yet to play it! Not sure how it will differ much from the console versions though, just hope they remove the popup i see on the console version.

This is what they say about the requirements:



I'll probably buy it, since I don't have any of the current generation consoles.

I have done some searching and so far I believe the release date for this on PC is approx 21st November (UK), 18th November (US) onwards so hopefully we should be able to play it come Christmas time yay!!!!!!

Sweet. This is going to be a great game. Especially with mods.

Ripken204: You're running out of space for all those stars.

That's probably the limit... i hope

no planes? are you serious?? i havnt seen the new GTA yet, even on console, b/c the console versions are just crap compared to PC.
i have been waiting so long for this game, just one more week now!!



ya i know


don't worry, it is

I'm excited for the added video editor in the PC version of GTA4.

Updated release date according to http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/#?page=pc is


Which means its out now. (only just realised it's the 4th December, whoops )

Word on the street says that it's a pretty buggy release.

It's buggy bigtime, does NOT work with ATI cards at all. Does NOT work with latest nvidia drivers (180.48), the DRM is over the top annoying... crashes to desktop, refuses to run... sucks I was so looking forward to it.

When they try so hard to prevent piracy that it prevents legit purchases from working, it's a problem.

I heard they spent over 200,000 ($ or £) on those anti-piracy measures....so how has it helped their situation?
I also hear it is not smooth on hardware that runs crysis.

I won't be going near it because Securom is involved and I dont want that crap near my machine.

there are ways to get around that but for me the big problem is the specs requirement. My laptop is HP 9540us with GeForce m8600GS and it's pretty laggy at the lowest setting. not really playable.

i'm averaging like 20-25gps with a 4870 1GB and Q6700... there is definitely something wrong here.
crysis runs better than this game, now that's saying something.

My only hope is that Rockstar releases patches making this game worthwhile, and not just abandoning now that it's already out the door.

if not there should be 3rd party graphics patches like they did a HD patch for Need for speed undercover.

And they're suprised why people don't buy this crap.

God, that's horrible.

I bought Xbox last year, just because of it
Add-on is pretty great too, just finished it a couple of days ago.
May be it will be out for PC in 2010 lol
They are killing PC gaming...

i like to try this one out!
