GTAIV PC MultiPlayer Screen Shots

Thanks to Charming Charlie at GTAFORUMS.COM

Well as the hype mule (I would say train but it really doesn’t feel like a train) starts I came across this from 1up. They have apparently had a bit of a quickie on GTA 4 mp for the PC :-

Nothing earth shatteringly new, obviously mentioned that it has 32 players instead of 16. They also seem to be of the opinion that the mouse and keyboard improves MP (well what a shock eh boys and girls). All in all an interesting read if you are board and want some more information. There is also eight new screenshots there, well I haven’t seen them :-

Will Your Computer Play GTAIV ?

You can benchmark with a fast easy tool from pcpitstop

Here is my pcpitstop benchmark score

Minimum System Requirements
Windows Vista – Service Pack 1 / XP – Service Pack 3
1.8GHz Intel Core2Duo or 2.4GHz AMD Athlon X2 64
1.5 GB of RAM
16 GB free hard drive space
256MB NVIDIA 7900 / 256MB ATI X1900

Recommended System Requirements
Windows Vista – Service Pack 1 / XP – Service Pack 3
2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Quad or 2.1GHz AMD Phenom X3
2 GB of RAM (Windows XP) or 2.5 GB of RAM (Windows Vista)
18 GB Free Hard Drive Space
512MB NVIDIA 8600 / 512MB ATI 3870

looks like I am above low end, almost at high end, except I am on a dual core duo. not a dual core quad.

Although my processor is a higher rating than the quad core, it is still a dual duo.

See I use pc pistop because it is easy small and fast. not a huge detailed benchmarker for my computer I know, but it also isn’t very taxing on my machine. Some benchmark programs can be to much for your pc and break it by over stressing your components. Pcpistop is a light weight low stress test . it’s over in like 2 minutes. I make the score, I look at it, I tweak my machine I benchmark again and see if I got any faster. It’s great, free and easy…

So if you want to see if you are capable of playing the game, bench your machine and post your link to your score.

Gtaiv Propaganda new mailing list update



There is a virus sweeping through Grand Theft Auto IV turning many unsuspecting players into Zombies. If you’ve seen the special Zombie-with-yellow-briefs player skin running around during Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer, then you may already know that the virus can be contracted in any and all multiplayer modes and is spread when an unsuspecting player kills someone who has the infection (note that the infected don’t necessarily have to be wearing the Zombie skin, some show no symptoms!). The signs of infection are: access to the zombie skin and having the Achievement “Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie”. With the all-new Viral Infection feature at the Rockstar Social Club, members can now see whether they are currently infected, the number of total global infections and the number of infections in the last 24 hours. Digging deeper, Social Club members can also browse a color-coded world map tracking the spread of the infection worldwide, including breakdown for all 50 US States. Click here for the Viral Infection feature.

GTAIV On Pc Speculated Differences

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.

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.

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.

The Next Release of Grand Theft Auto

Rockstar Games put up a new page

New page

It looks like the pc version of any grand theft auto, has once again been put on the back burner. It looks like we just might not ever see grand theft auto come to the personal computer ever again.

A fourth game to come to a portable gaming system, is the third portable game to be created and not be ported to pc since GTA San Andreas. It is so far the fifth game to have been created to not be made for pc gaming.
As of now the games to not be moved to pc are as listed. This includes portable and full blown console games.
1. gta advanced
2. Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories
3. Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories
4. Grand Theft Auto GTAIV
5. Grand Theft Auto China Town Wars

I am assuming they are going to use the china town section of liberty city from GtaIII and Liberty City Stories. If this happens, can we see a port coming to Nintendo Wii? can we see a few Gta Rockstar grand theft auto games coming to the Nintendo Wii soon? I think we can.

Here, Grand Theft Auto Five Speculations and Rumors

The Grand Theft Auto Hating Bandwagon Rolls Out

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.
