GTAiv On pc , First details

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Rockstar has revealed the first details of the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV.

The game was shown off at the Leipzig Games Convention today by PR man Steve Hahnel. He began by promising much improved visuals, saying they’ll be “polished well beyond what they were on the 360 and PS3”.

New features will include a replay editor. Whenever you’re playing the previous 30 seconds of gameplay will be recorded, so at any time you can stop and watch what you just did. You can also edit footage – chop it up, add filters, switch camera angles and so on.

There will also be a montage editor that lets you link together multiple 30-second clips. You’ll be able to share the movies you make via the internet and the Rockstar Social Club.

Hahnel also hinted there are plans to add new multiplayer options. Noting there is online play for up to 16 players in the console versions of GTA IV he added, “We’re expanding on that” – but didn’t offer any further details.

However, Hahnel did say there will be new filters so you can have more control over the type of matches and races you take part in. If you just want to play with pistols, for example, that will possible. The whole idea is to make it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for.

The rest of the demo consisted of a playthrough of the Three-Leaf Clover mission seen in the console game. This was played using an Xbox 360 controller, and Hahnel confirmed you’ll be able to choose this or the traditional keyboard option in the finished game.

The visuals do indeed look more polished – lighting is more realistic and there’s a much higher level of detail on both characters and environments. Movement animations are smoother but could still do with a bit of work; Nico runs down stairs like he’s got a wonky ankle. Still, as Hahnel was careful to point out, GTA IV is still “a work in progress” and there’s “a lot of polishing and cleaning” to do before the game is released on November 24th.

Well looks like the guys on gtaforums.com  in the pc section, are celebrating tonight as we see the game will have better details than the console (due to 2 year newer/better graphics cards than the consoles).

It’s great they made video editor, to bad they won’t let you turn it off to save resources.

Oh well great stuff, I will be gaming this.

Grand Theft Auto On pc Videos.

Posted onAuthorTruXter

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

Today while in the gtaforums threads I was reading about how each person wants to creat videos to play on the net.

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.

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.

GTAIV On Pc Speculated Differences

Posted onAuthorTruXter

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

http://ir.take2games.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=326627

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

Posted onAuthorTruXter

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.

New Magazine With Gtaiv on PC

Posted onAuthorTruXter

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.

We are pleased to present today’s launch of the all–new Millionaires Club – recognizing and celebrating all of the wealthy seven–figure Grand Theft Auto IV players at the Rockstar Games Social Club.

Come and see if you are a bona fide Millionaire, as well as where your single–player time to reach a million compares against all the other nouveaux riche ‘business men’ of Liberty City. If you would like to see just how rich your fellow Millionaires are, you can mouse over each for a quick glimpse of their lifetime single–player money earned. With three leaderboards ranked by who’s become a Millionaire first, who’s done it quickest, and who is the richest in the City.

Amazon GTAIV Pr-Order

Posted onAuthorTruXter

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.

Fake Magazine For gtaiv circulates the web

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Someone posted the image of the pcgamer magazine that suposedly came out in july. It has the picture of niko belic on the cover. I did my research and found that pcgamer.com does not exist  but pcgamer.com/my does. it is a two week old website.

on the site they claim to have their hands on a Malaysian pc game magazine that has news about gtaiv on pc “coming soon”

The fake print out is shrink wrapped to look like it is official.

There are many factors here to look at. One it’s a country where not every speaks english but the magazine is in english. two it’s the end of july and we are just now seeing the july issue?.. I’m sorry but the gtaiv for pc crowd, would have dug this up and it would have hit digg.com instantly.

here is the crappy gfake magazine cover .

I deem this fake.

here is how it should look.
