Grand Theft Auto IV PC

[Flasher]

PC fans, Rockstar Games have noticed you, waiting so patiently on the sidelines while your console brothers get all the love - and they've got a surprise for you!

Grand Theft Auto IV has finally been confirmed for PC.

We're eagerly awaiting more details - Australia-specific release dates, ratings, screenshots - but for now, mark the week of November 18th into your diary, Niko Bellic's coming to town.


Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games

"We are very excited to be releasing the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV. The whole team is dedicated to bringing an amazing gaming experience to the PC. The game looks and plays beautifully on PC and we can't wait for people to play it."

Grand Theft Auto IV, the latest installment in the wildly successful GTA franchise sees a rich and immersive narrative experience, a life-like, painstakingly-detailed city all ready for PC gamers to explore, an original soundtrack that plays to highlight the "cultural eclecticism" of Liberty City, and - wait for it - newly expanded multiplayer, just for PC.

(...word on the street suggests that if you picked up the Xbox 360 version, you may soon have a bunch of new playmates. GTA IV for PC looks like being a Games For Windows title, which means it should support cross-platform multiplayer between the 360 and the PC!)

New News:

Having announced the game for PC, Rockstar has released first details on the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 4.

The game will include a new replay editor that will allow players to edit and save the last 30 seconds of gameplay. These 30-second clips can be put together into a longer work using the “montage editor”; they can be shared on the Rockstar Social Club.

There will also be changes to its multiplayer modes. While not many details were given, it was hinted that the number of online players may be increased. It was confirmed that there will be a robust set of server filters.

Finally, the graphics will be improved, with more realistic lighting and a higher level of character and environment detail to be added. It will support resolutions of up to 2560*1600.

Grand Theft Auto 4 is set for release on PC on November 18.

PC requirements for Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto 4, minimum requirements will be posted at a later date:

OS: Windows XP SP2
Processor: Dual core processor (Intel Pentium D or better)
RAM: 2GB
Hard Drive: 18GB Free Space
Video Card: 512MB Direct3D 10 compatible video card or Direct3D 9 card compatible with Shader
Drive: DVD-ROM dual-layer drive

While these requirements aren’t as extensive as games such as Crysis Warhead, the 2GB of RAM, dual core processor, and 512MB of video RAM may pose a threat to those with a lower end machine.

Bought my 'R' copy today for $118 inc postage now just got to wait for it to arrive, should come next week.

[.:Qwerty:.]

damn, expensive game better be worth it.

[Flasher]

Bah, it's only like 15-20 more then here!! Plus it's uncut!!!

Say here is a thought...

If my USA version arrives and i make an ISO, someone else grabs the ISO off me and buys a legit Aussie DVD KEY here and uses it. I wonder if it will work & install the game.

That way the installation will be uncut and will save the money on importing it from somewhere else by buying it locally, using the ISO and just using the legit aussie key.

hmmmm.....


BTW your avatar has died and gone to avatar heaven

[.:Qwerty:.]

What about a copy bought off of eBay? would that still be 'R' rated?

I can only see Sharpys avatar...i'm getting dizzy watching his

[Flasher]

Rang my local Eb games store and they have it in stock today. Mine was off Ebay but from the US. I'm happy paing $20 more and getting it at my doorstep un-modified. And yes i believe it will be as good as Vice City if not better. So i see it as 'worth it'.

Found this post, while looking to see if they have fixed thier error yet
Australian PC gamers will be happy to hear that Grand Theft Auto IV will be released on their continent without any censorship despite the massive cuts made to the console version, reports Gamespot Australia.

"Grand Theft Auto IV PC has been rated MA15+ strong violence, sex scenes, coarse language, and drug references by the Australian Classification Office," a representative from Rockstar told the gaming site. "The PC game is unedited in any way and identical in content to the international version."
P.S still getting that f**king error, i might take it back to get my money back.

sadly i know, i read it the day before release. Oh well they were sure the content would be edited for us. Doesn't matter i only loose about 8-10 bux for making that mistake, and have to wait 6 extra days to get it.

[Sharpy]
