GTAIV On Pc Speculated Differences

First Off I have to say;

Thanks to the console people for  all the beta testing they did for big boys. Your efforts are apreciated.

Now on Rockstar’s site and take two’s site they say there will be

“newly expanded multiplayer just for the PC”

and from Rockstar we get

We are proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto IV will be arriving for the
platform it was birthed on this November. Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC will
feature everything from the acclaimed original console releases, along with
newly expanded multiplayer just for the PC and more

Ok, We anticipate  the online play to be very similar to mta and sa-mp .

Allowing us to be our own server, or the option to join windows online for official servers  making sure  we have a clean safe un-modified game play. If not, we will probably fix that issue ourselves, totally bypassing the windows online game play.

We do expect better resolution.

We do expect exclusive downloadable content aka dlc. I have hopes of previouse games being played on some sort of console that comes with the first dlc. Games susch as gta and gta ii and hopefully gta advanced. I mean that is all far fetched but not completely impossible.

We are expecting custom radio stations, and maybe streaming radio.

We will be making our own fingerless gloves. you can count on that.

ok the gloves, somewhere in some of the previews they showed the gloves, but final cut did not have them.. so we will have them.

Presumed reqirements Of GTAIV PC

http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=366129

Take these with a grain of salt.

Typically Rockstar  well give a lower expectation of system requirements than what the kids normally  cook up.

Minimum System Requirements for Mass Effect on the PC Operating System: Windows XP or Vista Processor: 2.4+GHZ Intel or 2.0+GHZ AMD Memory: 1 Gigabyte Ram (XP) 2 Gigabyte Ram (Vista) Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6 series(6800GT or better) ATI 1300XT or better (X1550, X1600 Pro and HD2400 are below minimum system requirements) Hard Drive Space: 12 Gigabytes Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card and drivers ———- Recommended System Requirements for Mass Effect on the PC Operating System: Windows XP or Vista Processor: 2.6+GHZ Intel or 2.4+GHZ AMD Memory: 2 Gigabyte Ram Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX or higher. ATI X1800 XL series or higher Hard Drive Space: 12 Gigabytes Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card and drivers – 5.1 sound card recommended

If you scroll down lower you will see that someone has already cooked it up on an official gaming site. They are usually wrong also.

1.6 cpu (single core) 3 year old vid card (vga) , 512 ram (ddr)  dx9c  probably the min requirements

optimal is probably closer to

2g dual core, 1.5 year old vid card . 1.5 g ram ddr2 dx10.

And of course the game never really plays smooth until two years of vid card evolution passes by.

I am sure o/s does not matter.. as long as dx10 makes it’s way to xp sp3.

Maybe a New Clue to GTAIV on Pc

Two new commercials came out 4 days ago.
The one that counts though is
the commercial they did for GameStop
at the very end of it, it says
and I quote
“Yes Liberty City has something for EVERYONE

, but it gets crowded. SO BOOK YOUR TRIP NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT.
LINK HERE
Click on “updates ” at bottom right of the screen from
the main page, or heck, anywhere.. it will show that
the game stop commercial came out 7/17/08

Who is “everyone?” ps3 360 and pc? sounds like everyone that matters.
book your trip now? does that mean reserve the game?

Will there be a limited supply ?

Yes the video is old, and has been out for a while, but they just put it on their in the updates section.
This means they are now fishing for the people looking for clues.

Name that video game

I am starting something new on my area.

It’s about gamers for gamers

What I will do is on occasions (hoping for at least once a week, ) post a picture from game

and see if anyone can guess the game.

 More of the game here with prizes.

Oh yeah.. In the battle cry of the humble

Is Starcraft II The Goliath We Have Expected?

If you remember being in the chatrooms like “starcraft newbies’ or ladder challenges back before bnet split to show regions, you then know just how popular Starcraft was. We all know that what is popular will stay popular as long as people can still see how popular it really is. so we can assume that by splitting us up into so many groups it did make the place not feel as full as it once was. We can hope that Blizzard figured this out.

The greatest event was being nailed with a mass zergling and hydra attack, and being prepared with bunkered behind supply depots backed by a buttload of marines and siege tanks to just own and wipe down the zergs, and having cloaked wraiths to hit the overlords and that big fat crab thing.

I used to play with a name that was fun to kill with and win with. The name was Mass200ScvOwnsU. Really that was hard to do because by default scvs run away. I wonder if they will allow us to make the names they allowed in the beginning using symbols like $^& and “-. Will they have chatrooms again ? The chatrooms made it so you could run lip and make challenges. You didn’t have to chat, sometimes we just spent the whole day jumping into the best bandwidthed available games.

Will the game have the features we loved? Will we have to buy massive processors and ram?

I think we will not have to power it much, so all sorts of people can play this game.

Will we have a monthly fee? I don’t play wow. simply because i hate the idea of pay to maintain, maintain because you paid so much, pay more because you played and invested so much time and money and don’t want to lose players . The redundant cycle of stupid uselessness.

We used to beg for this and Blizzard kept hinting it would never happen. Ten years later and it just might happen soon.

The game that was top seller for three years, the number one played game for two years, the game i played religiously for three years straight, is coming. I am older now. Will i still play?

Damn straight, just hope there is no team speak. I don’t want to hear a bunch of kids screaming at each other and everyone how they they are going to hack or report them for cheating.

Rockstar Will Not Fix GTA FREEZE

From here:

” Earlier today we broke the news that some Grand Theft Auto IV gamers were having problems with the game on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

“For them, the game was freezing up during the introductory cut-scene, something that neither I nor Mike experienced during our time with the game on both systems. To be clear, we have no idea how widespread the problem is, but it’s certainly on Rockstar’s radar and making the rounds both in our tips line and on forums.

“Rockstar declined to comment on the issue officially, so I went to the phone and called up Rockstar Support to see what they had to say about the problem.”

I am certain that Rockstar games will fix this issue. Not to bash the gaming site that seems to have “broken the news.”

But really. This is taking words out of text.

GTA IV Car List

On a wiki I Found, I see nicely done wiki (almost done).

Grand Theft Wiki

If you find a Banshee, Email the guy from this wiki and get him to put it on the page, tell him where you found it.

Same with the phoenix and other cars.

Heck if you see similar peds screen shot them and email the maker of the wiki.

Looks like there is a bit of a floating vehicle issue.

Here is a five minute video of Grand Theft Auto 4 being played in multi-player mode and a few cars floating.

Also it has a helicopter, street fighting with baseball bats, and tons of stuff that will cause Mr. Jacko to have a heart attack.
