Image straight from Rockstar’s website for Grand Theft Auto.

Now all of the “can you play it” gamer benchmark sites, can use their cookie gathering techniques of “benchmarking” and do an update already.
Uses way less machine than first stated.
So in short yes we will probably all be able to play this game.
But if you are not certain and ready to buy it. test your machine out.
Futuremark made this one ONLINE BENCHMARK
This one really tries well, but needs an update here’s the link
You can however check a messload of other games.. no telling if it’s correctly testing though.
Grand Theft Auto iv here we come.

You can benchmark with a fast easy tool from pcpitstop
Here is my pcpitstop benchmark score
Minimum System Requirements
Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3
1.8GHz Intel Core2Duo or 2.4GHz AMD Athlon X2 64
1.5 GB of RAM
16 GB free hard drive space
256MB NVIDIA 7900 / 256MB ATI X1900
Recommended System Requirements
Windows Vista - Service Pack 1 / XP - Service Pack 3
2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Quad or 2.1GHz AMD Phenom X3
2 GB of RAM (Windows XP) or 2.5 GB of RAM (Windows Vista)
18 GB Free Hard Drive Space
512MB NVIDIA 8600 / 512MB ATI 3870
looks like I am above low end, almost at high end, except I am on a dual core duo. not a dual core quad.
Although my processor is a higher rating than the quad core, it is still a dual duo.
See I use pc pistop because it is easy small and fast. not a huge detailed benchmarker for my computer I know, but it also isn’t very taxing on my machine. Some benchmark programs can be to much for your pc and break it by over stressing your components. Pcpistop is a light weight low stress test . it’s over in like 2 minutes. I make the score, I look at it, I tweak my machine I benchmark again and see if I got any faster. It’s great, free and easy…
So if you want to see if you are capable of playing the game, bench your machine and post your link to your score.

Grand Theft auto, the very first grand theft auto was up for trial or demo for months before and years after it’s official release date. GTA2 did the same thing. People soon figured out how to crack the demo so you could get the full game. Why did they put the whole game in the demo? end result, the game actually played smoother and faster and better, from teh cracked version over the full install.
Gtaiii did not, nor did any pc version after.
I am quite sure the searches for torrents are probably taking down the pirate bay. But rest assured , it will be better if you buy this game from Steam . That is of course if you really must download the game. In situations like you are waaaaay to far from any store that will sell it. I myself want the full package, I want the map, the case, the disc the whole nine yards.
I will fully install the game from the disc I purchase. I will also purchase the game on steam, I will play both.
I will surely have to crack the game to get it to work on linux. I will help others in making gtaiv work on their linux box.
There is a large community of us, about 2000 user from gtaforums.com who will do anything and everything to stop torrents from distributing compies of GTAIV. We will make every effort to report the people who seed illegal copies of the game, and in doing that, the people who download while the seeders get busted, will get caught also. So it is strongly advised that you wait your time like the diehard gta fans are doing. If you have to have it sooner than others, or any other reason you must download it, go to steam.
Good luck have fun, happy gaming

The first movie of grand theft auto was done with Ron Howard as the star actor. It was done in 1977 writen and acted and directed by Ron Howard. Here is the Imdb link to the movie.
With that said let’s get to what you are looking for. Someone at a website titled ” Cinematical” Wrote a story that leads to a hopefull movie starring Eminem, the singer (?) Rapper (?) > I myself am not sure how that would work out. He isn’t much of an actor. I guesse he could play the role of the guy from GTAIII. No talking no speech. I could better see Christian slater playing the role of Tommy Vercetti. I could see YOUNG MAYLAY (the guy that did the CJ voice in San Andreas) Playing carl Johnson in The part three of The movie GTA . Yes I would assume it would have to be called GTA Because of copy rights and stuff with Ron Howard’s movie. I totally respect that. Heck I could see Ron Howard Playing Donald Love. Lazlow would surely have to play Lazlow.
See I ran across those links trying to find a place on the internet with best story behind the whole GTA games to tie it all together. I would love to print it out and set it on the back of my father’s toilet. He would have no choice but to read it, and then he could join in the conversations between my son and I around him.
Of course I came up with no find so I started searching to see if anyone has taken the time to put all the cutscenes together and some how put the whole story together, even if it means a brief description of the ingame between. again no find. So here I am giving you guys a couple links I found with the same hope I have to see a movie or a book come up.
Additional Entertainment Videos
From CharmingCharlie at GTAFORUMS.COM
I got some more stuff, in his words
Gamespot did a “video history” of GTA shortly after GTA SA came out so it is “almost” complete and is just missing GTA 4, you can find that here :-
Then there is the IGN article that did a pretty comprehensive write up of the history of GTA and the some of the back story to people like David Jones, Sam and Dan Houser, here is the link :-
Returning to videos, this is a f*cking cool video history here :-
I love the music in it and I also love the starting credit “In October of 1997, Grand Theft Auto was born, first on the PC ….” I love that bit.

Well the images look really good.
Very Nintendoish and very gta-gtaii looking but better.
Looks like rockstar games is really going back to their roots and fixing up the mess ups. Maybe we will see some use of GTAiii or Liberty City Stories or Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories Make a port to the wii.
Oh yeah here are the screen shots
And More Screen Shots
All the things that can come from this, if nintendo flips out.

There is a good chance with the bad content in gta ctw, we might never see it hit the nintendo ds.
It might head straight to the iphone.
Here are others thinking the same as me

Looks like rockstar and Nintendo are going to butt heads, pretty hard.
New screen shot of CTW shows 6 Different drugs to sell around town. Nintendo might not be super uber happy about this.
from here
Past editions have seen drug-running missions, but this is the most explicit reference yet. And considering it’s on Nintendo’s mostly kiddy-friendly DS handheld, it’s sure to cause a bit of a storm in the tabloids.
Not going to rseult good.

http://gtaclans.com/index.php?topic=27.0
You have to login to participate though.
Somethings look great on the PC version, but allot of things look left out for the pc
The explosions do not look as detailed on the pc as it does on the console.
A lot looks better on the console, and again allot looks better on pc. the whole draw distance, I don’t see it.
The guys at gtaforums.com have yet to cover this , Maybe it’s because they turned linking off and it just looks god awefull when you post a link and it does not get refferenced. Don’t get me wrong with gtaforums I love the site, but they might be poopooing on something usefull in the search for gtaiv on pc content.
