The gta Network has been around a while, they are very good at getting information to their ring.

Sometimes rockstar feeds them.

Get to know the network.

Start with e the gta forums .

The first details and screenshots of the PC version of GTA IV have emerged online today. Features revealed include a replay editor, better search options for matches online, the ability to play with a controller instead of keyboard and mouse (for all the masochists out there) and of course polished visuals worthy of the platform. Oh, and also fingerless gloves.

  • The number of multiplayer slots may be expanded for the PC version (16 is the limit for the console versions).
  • The maximum resolution is 2560×1600.
  • Players can record 30 second clips and then they can add filters and adjust the camera angle using the replay editor. They can also paste clips together and then upload them to R* Social Club for others to view online.
  • Players can search for multiplayer games more specifically (e.g. a deathmatch with pistols only).
  • The Xbox 360 controller is compatible with the PC version.

Rockstar has revealed the first details of the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV.

The game was shown off at the Leipzig Games Convention today by PR man Steve Hahnel. He began by promising much improved visuals, saying they’ll be “polished well beyond what they were on the 360 and PS3”.

New features will include a replay editor. Whenever you’re playing the previous 30 seconds of gameplay will be recorded, so at any time you can stop and watch what you just did. You can also edit footage – chop it up, add filters, switch camera angles and so on.

There will also be a montage editor that lets you link together multiple 30-second clips. You’ll be able to share the movies you make via the internet and the Rockstar Social Club.

Hahnel also hinted there are plans to add new multiplayer options. Noting there is online play for up to 16 players in the console versions of GTA IV he added, “We’re expanding on that” – but didn’t offer any further details.

However, Hahnel did say there will be new filters so you can have more control over the type of matches and races you take part in. If you just want to play with pistols, for example, that will possible. The whole idea is to make it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for.

The rest of the demo consisted of a playthrough of the Three-Leaf Clover mission seen in the console game. This was played using an Xbox 360 controller, and Hahnel confirmed you’ll be able to choose this or the traditional keyboard option in the finished game.

The visuals do indeed look more polished – lighting is more realistic and there’s a much higher level of detail on both characters and environments. Movement animations are smoother but could still do with a bit of work; Nico runs down stairs like he’s got a wonky ankle. Still, as Hahnel was careful to point out, GTA IV is still “a work in progress” and there’s “a lot of polishing and cleaning” to do before the game is released on November 24th.

Well looks like the guys on gtaforums.com  in the pc section, are celebrating tonight as we see the game will have better details than the console (due to 2 year newer/better graphics cards than the consoles).

It’s great they made video editor, to bad they won’t let you turn it off to save resources.

Oh well great stuff, I will be gaming this.
