GTA IV

[Buxton]

Just wondering, why can't they make it for pc at the same time as they are making the ps3 and x360 versions?

Im gonna be pissed if I have to wait like extra 6 months before I get to play it. 

The new NVidia chip in the PS3 is twice as powerful as anything offered by Nvidia for the computer, I'm guessing that the extra time is spent on dumbing the game down or waiting for the computer world to catch up.

If you think so...

Why? What part to you mean?

It may be a tad more powerful, however, it isn't directx10 compatable, where as a 8800GTX is...

And it is not only because of dx10… ps3 just more specialized system but there is nothing really amazing trust me. For example just look at the PC's Crysis. No one PS3 game can show that graphical level for today.

btw, GTA4 delay is a business turn only.

I hope you are wrong, they better be doing something that extra time they get!

Some of those new videos are hilarious. It's nice to see that Rockstar still does good humor.

GTA is not for me.

San Andreas had an amazing map (size wise), but I'm more of a Scarface: The World is Yours fan.

 

[TehGherkin]

Dude, GTA 4 IV is gonna be way better than Scarface (Which I played and didn't really think that much of tbh)

 

[rmancrusader]

Its gonna be kinda wierd once it comes out, since the main characters cousin, or partner s name is roman, and so is mine. Everyone plays the GTA'S, so my friends will have some new nickname for me. Not that I'm complaining.

Does anyone have any idea what the min requirements are going to be ?

Ridiculously high. I predict something on par with Assassin's Creed. And I'm basing this on pure speculation.

 

[redsox1804]

awesome! theres gonna be multiplayer, wonder what thatll be like.

Not necessarily. Rockstar has done fairly good ports in the past, and in the case of San Andreas they even included noticeably better graphics. Assassin's Creed's specs are slightly higher than those of Crysis but the graphics only look a fourth as good--unless their pre-release screenshots don't properly reflect the final game (which is unlikely) this indicates it's going to be a rushed port. Rushed ports have sloppy and unoptimised code, which leads to depressingly-high system requirements. If AC really does need hardware this good but doesn't look all that good in return it will likely undersell, and then they'll blame their losses on the "pirates" (arrr!) and put even less effort into future PC ports.

awesome! theres gonna be multiplayer, wonder what thatll be like.

Probably something like the multiplayer included in the PSP spinoffs, or maybe even something closer to Multi Theft Auto.

 

[Sound Chaser]

I hope they still put weight on the single player mode. That's what games lack nowadays, and that's why m&b is so awesome.

Yes, I remember reading something about deathmatches and races.

Given that a modern console such as the Xbox360 has an effective six core CPU, why the hell do you think the graphics are the main problem?

Agreed. There is some value to multi-player,
but the core game has to be good.

 

[jlgx50]

Rockstar will probably just make it like the other GTA games and add a multi theft auto into it,

I think it's pritty crap the Xbox 360 gets an exta 10 hours of content though damn Micrasoft
