Tech Tips and Reviews
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.
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.

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.
A site dedicated to GTA clans
Brand new just whent up today sunday august 31st 2008

Over the years I have created a few videos of myself playing variations of gta on my pc.

So I put together a scrambled callage of my Grand Theft auto Videos

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.
Rockstar games mailed out the official news letter three days later than take two’s announcement .

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 VistaProcessor:
2.4+GHZ Intel or 2.0+GHZ AMDMemory:
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 GigabytesSound Card:
DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card and drivers
———-Recommended System Requirements for Mass Effect on the PC
Operating System:
Windows XP or VistaProcessor:
2.6+GHZ Intel or 2.4+GHZ AMDMemory:
2 Gigabyte RamVideo Card:
NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GTX or higher.
ATI X1800 XL series or higherHard Drive Space:
12 GigabytesSound 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.

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.
