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.

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.

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.

Looks like it is going to happen.

NEED MORE CLUES AND PROOF!

oK HERE

http://www.overclock.net/video-game-news/362938-pc-gamer-grand-theft-auto-4-a.html

I can’t quite tell the date. I am assuming it will be April to stay in the release sequence.. or april will be when the first video advertisement is released. Meaning we will not see it till october. I wonder how close in hand this goes with Windows live going free a couple days ago.

I can not help but think it’s fake.
I have never been to that country
But I can really bet they do not speak English.

Why is it a July issue? Shouldn’t we be seeing the preview issue of next month?

Don’t they release the next month’s issue to subscribers like 3 weeks early?
Why hasn’t anyone come forward sooner?
I mean if I am wrong about how soon issues are released.

Why is it the end of july before anyone came out with this image?
and the one on the site, looks like a photo shopped mock up of what is in the shrink wrap on the shelf full of English speaking books and mags, in a country that might not be English only.

Maybe a New Clue to GTAIV on Pc

Posted onAuthorTruXter2 Comments

Two new commercials came out 4 days ago.
The one that counts though is
the commercial they did for GameStop
at the very end of it, it says
and I quote
“Yes Liberty City has something for EVERYONE

, but it gets crowded. SO BOOK YOUR TRIP NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT.
LINK HERE
Click on “updates ” at bottom right of the screen from
the main page, or heck, anywhere.. it will show that
the game stop commercial came out 7/17/08

Who is “everyone?” ps3 360 and pc? sounds like everyone that matters.
book your trip now? does that mean reserve the game?

Will there be a limited supply ?

Yes the video is old, and has been out for a while, but they just put it on their in the updates section.
This means they are now fishing for the people looking for clues.

Biggest clue that GTAIV Will be on PC

Posted onAuthorTruXter1 Comment

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.

The Grand Theft Auto Hating Bandwagon Rolls Out

Posted onAuthorTruXter2 Comments

Looks like another fat face is trying to get his “old people points” up higher by bashing GTA as soon as he can.

Remember, You have a choice in how you play the game. The game does not force you to be with hooker or kill innocent people or steal random stuff. All of that stuff you do on your own. So if they did sick stuff when they played. lol. Then maybe it’s their sick twisted minds that made them do it.

Link Video 1
Link video 2

I got this from here I have no idea what these people are saying, so here is what I have to say.

This guy makes my stomach turn, you can see it in his face that he is milking the attention and couldn’t give two squirts what your kid or his own kid do or does. His eyes glisten with excitement each time he says gta. You can almost hear his heart beating faster and louder each time he thinks he sounds like he is meaning what he is saying. Something about how he had to brag about d.o.s. ing a server by excessive bandwidth due to him putting Miley Ray Cyrus on a server somewhere. Did he not know that he is showing off a minor?

at 45 seconds into the video he says ” We are training our kids to be Killers” . Um who is we? Does this guy have kids? he just said that he is one of a group of people who are training their kids to be killers. He then goes on to say ” and we are training our sons to treat women like whores” I dunno about this guy’s kid, but my son loves women, women love him, what ever he is doing, works. The guy goes on to say “and here’s how I got there.” See? he just said that he does all that and this is how HE achieved this emotional goal to corrupt his kid(s). Maybe it is by deceptive methods of persuasion . Maybe it’s by force. I don’t know.

I didn’t listen to it anymore I was sickened by his twisted mentality, and he seaped of demonic deviance I had to turn it off.

Some how he reminds me of Robert Tilton the evangelist who tells people they need to donate money so they can get into heaven.

If you know who this guy is or what network he is on, can you bother to have him interviewed unskitted unscripted?

Something freaks me out about this guy.

Rockstar Will Not Fix GTA FREEZE

Posted onAuthorTruXter

From here:

” Earlier today we broke the news that some Grand Theft Auto IV gamers were having problems with the game on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

“For them, the game was freezing up during the introductory cut-scene, something that neither I nor Mike experienced during our time with the game on both systems. To be clear, we have no idea how widespread the problem is, but it’s certainly on Rockstar’s radar and making the rounds both in our tips line and on forums.

“Rockstar declined to comment on the issue officially, so I went to the phone and called up Rockstar Support to see what they had to say about the problem.”

I am certain that Rockstar games will fix this issue. Not to bash the gaming site that seems to have “broken the news.”

But really. This is taking words out of text.
