TruXter Tech News

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

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.

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.

Something to hold me down till the release of official news about GTAIV.

http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/08/15/gta-iv-pc-to-be-shown-to-press-at-games-convention/

Sorry but  the writer on that site, lol. But as it says

We the regular public will not be at this gaming convention, it’s a

special invite only . As we know rockstar, they will probably be shooting us some screenies within a day or so of that convention…. wait, wouldn’t you just be best off  calling that a gaming meeting?

you can’t call a sepecial invite closed doors  gathering, a convention, but more like a meeting.

Let’s see if it turns out that EA shows up.

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.
