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.

Quoted from Jallar’s quote at gtaforums.com

New Magazine With Gtaiv on PC

We have all seen the one from mylasia.

Now we have one from Italy that looks like a tabloid mag.

Now don’t shoot the messenger if this turns out to be a photoshop fake from a non-existant magazine.

But it looks like a legit scan in.

gtaiv cu pc:
nonostante i’apparizione di una versione di gran theft auto iv per pc negli elenchi di alcuni distributori francesi e tedeschi ( con un’uscita indicata per il prossimo ottobre ), rockstar non ha voluto confermare la data di uscita del gioco, costrinsendo inoltre i negozianti indicare che le loro date sono da considearsi non uficiali. in passato le versioni pc dei vari gta si sono fatte attendere per almeno otto mesi

translated too

gtaiv cu PC: although i’ apparition of a version of Grand Theft Auto iv for PC in lists of some French and German distributors (with un’ release indicated for the next October), rockstar does not have intention to confirm the date of Release of the game, being forced moreover the traders to indicate that give theirs are from considering themselves not official. in passed versions PC of the several ones gta they have been made to attend in order at least eight months

Somewhere I typoed.
translater
babel fish English translator , If you want to fix it.

Maybe they know something, maybe they are just a rumor monger. Maybe it’s two kids just playing around trying to make a popular fake image that circulates the net.

Really there is no telling these days.   If anyone has another scan of the same mag, post it here please

As of right now, this is all you can see on rockstar’s website about grand theft auto IV

To me it just sounds like one of the regular kids in the gta forums

But really, it translates to they speculate the game will be October 2008. because past games  are april and October, or 8 months.  really it could be April next year before they even mention the game on pc, or no game on pc. It could release October 2009.

But, the main thing to think about is, bait. Rockstar does not and can not say that it will not be releasing a pc version, or share holders will jump ship.  Rockstar as wise as they are  could be waiting  till after the release of the downloadable content (DLC) and show share holders how the income can be multiplied by some fee for the Downloadable content. Once they can prove that the income is greater with this “New Plan”, then they can say  ” It would be too costly to build a game that has been out for a year, and it would not sell as much as we have made with the DLC, but we have new dlc coming very soon” .

See you keep the share holders hanging with a great taste (like a drug dealer does to the addict) and make them more money while you make yourself more money.

hmm I might just go grab a huge chunk in their stock right now. BUT  I AM NOT SUGGESTING YOU BUY ANYTHING BUT THE NEXT GAME.

Laters I am done rabling.

Amazon GTAIV Pr-Order

It was in German So I translated it for you using babble fish from yahoo,

HERE IS THE REAL LINK

HERE IS THE TRANSLATED VERSION

Of course it would be in German.  Is that German sites feel no threat of pr-ordering something that might not exist, or is it that American sites Don’t have the know how or dangley parts to just step right up and say they know something..

I think it’s the first one.

Well

Looks like they say that they don’t have the game in hand but will go ahead and take orders.

Here’s a quote (but I fix what the translation gadget screwed up. and remove links.

Esrb rates gtaiv for pc

The game is in the making and already has a rating.

ESRB has made this mistake before.

Let’s see what rockstar does to them for this.

That was on their site untill a flood of people from gtaforums.com whent there to see it.

The high volume of traffic and steady posting of emails to rockstar games to confirm it, got the place to either temporarily edit and fix that, or to put back the way it was suposed to be.

Or the stories everyone is telling is a chain of false wittness.

Biggest clue that GTAIV Will be on PC

I am quoting myself from a forum thread
on GTAFORUMS.COM

Ok now I have hope.
Rockstar games has done something they where not doing before.

Before now they had on their page “gtaiv out now”

but now it says “out now for xbox360 and ps3”
Wich is the way they used to do it , and that left a huge clue
that it was about to come out for more platforms.

I know that isn’t the biggest clue.

but try it, go to grand theft auto.com

and put your mouse over the gtaiv link and it will drop
a description.

To me this is great news..

Sorry if it isn’t the biggest for you guys.

but about 20 pages back, this was exactly opposite and I posted
a lack of hope.

Keep smiling folks, We might just get our way.

GTA IV Violence Has Begun

It seems to be happening before the heathens can even play the game.

Funny this kid got mugged for his game, but he got it back.

These guys fight over a place in line.

See it’s idiots like these guys that make the media jump all over the place and blame the game makers because pattern keeps happening. Really and truly, I remember hearing of parents fighting over cabbage patch dolls. These parents are the age group and trend chasing media whores that are out now, scoughing at youth’s interests these days. I mean if you remember the cabbage patch kids, and you are the age group of the kids they where pushed on, you would remember the racist issue the parents forced on us. Black kid’s parents wouldn’t give them white kids and vice versa, and all around the spectrum of complexions. Again the rednecks and the beanie babies. That wasn’t the kids fighting, it was the generation that is out now who is all burned out from the acid they took in the sixties and seventies chasing rainbows. It’s these guys who thought they had a better understanding of how life “SHOULD” be, who are leading and voicing their opinion about how life “SHOULD BE” now.

Some day , very soon, my generation will be in control and we will make a mockery of their wanna be leadership.

Okay, sorry for the rant.

Grand Theft Auto is out. Go buy it – don’t fight for it.

GTA IV Downloadable Content Idea Dropped?

These guys have some idea that the world of gaming has rules that are written in the souls and blood of man.

I think the DLC can happen, just not the way they think it will.

Why else would the game have been delayed like it was?

Newbies!
