GTA V on PC? How Soon?

The question on all pc gamers minds is “Will GTAV make it to pc gaming?”.
Experienced pc gamers who have been playing Grand Theft Auto games from the beginning on pc, know for fact that GTAV will come 6-7 months after the release of the console version. as seen in this poll of what platform GTAV should come on.
GTA always does.

but if you are in need of some comfort. Here Is proof of the platforms that GTAV will be seen on. of course since that page was created, Rockstar has taken down the pc version. but there is now a blank spot which is all I have to give you with that.

but of course there are a handful of console gamers out there running their usual slag, bragging and bashing pc gamers.
Me responding to some clown on Facebook about pc gamers are butthurt and full of excuses why they’re not hissy fitting about GTAV on pc yet.

nope not buthurt. Just waiting
We know you console tards are going to brag and run spoilers for the next few months.
and then come April, you will see the graphics are better, handling is more realistic and audio is better.

You will have just sold your 360 for the new whatever.. but now will sell your “next gen” console for merely $100 so you can have a few more bucks for ram to upgrade your piece of s4!t computer.

Your computer will lag and freeze and you will cry “memory leak in GTA V” just as you have done for years.

Then you will take your Newb tard @$$ and your “most techy friend” up to frys and buy “the best of everything” and never once consider the capabilities of each component.. and again your peice of s41t will lag and freeze and you will scream “MEMORY LEAK DAMN IT!! LISTEN TO ME” …. and your cries will fade as the pc gamers will ignore you and continue enjoying the game

The way it was meant to be

you are a guinea pig and getting the beta version.

For years, Rockstar games has released GTA on console first, then worked like mad scientist cobbler elves to make a ppc version of GTA.
Last release of a Grand Theft Auto game was rough, because lots of newbs couldn’t build a GTA computer. and many more couldn’t make their current computer play the game.

Hold tight pc gamers. Grand Theft Auto Five will come to computers

GTAV Spring 2013

from Rockstar games website post

From Rockstar’s page

Today, we’re proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto V is expected to launch worldwide spring 2013 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V takes place in a re-imagined, present-day Southern California in the largest and most thriving game-world we have ever created set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and for miles beyond – from the tops of the mountains to the depths of the ocean.

Starting next week November 5, 2012, Grand Theft Auto V will become available for pre-order everywhere and fans can expect a host of new information to become available in November.

Look for downloadable desktop versions of the brand new artwork above coming very soon.

We all kind of knew it when we saw the release of the tenth anniversary for Vice city, was the launch of the Android/Iphone version of GTA Vice City.
Hmm wonder when we will gta liberty city and city stories released.

Oh. it looks like Rockstar took down the gtav.com website that pointed to an Amazon page saying gtav would be released on xbox,ps3 and pc.. Now it just points to the gtav page.

New GTA V Vehicles – Photos

Rockstar games has released three new modes of transportation in photos on their facebook page.

Cheetah,  (fighter) Jet and Bicycle. I am happy to see the bicycle back in this gta.


More images just released
 

I really thought these were photos. I looked past them for about an hour before I realized it was Rockstar posting these pictures.
Great looking car.
I am quite happy to see the Cheetah back in the game

Here’s a nice read about GTA v and Max Payne 3

I still have suspicions that GTA5 will be more than just los santos. Looks like the city will either be full state of San Andreas, or you will only play a few missions and then fly off to Vice City. Or DLC will be the other cities.

Since the bicycles are back, does this mean we get the bike park again ?

What are your thoughts ?

New Grand Theft Auto Game In 2011 (Rumor Mill)



(A New Post on this Topic)
GTAv and GTAVI Figured Out

There are many clues. Rockstar always leaves clues. If you have been playing GTA as long as I have, you would know this. Many of the clues are subtle, many are just flat out “See you in San Andreas” Billboards. Before the actual release date, anything can be a distraction. we all know that ownership of Grand Theft Auto has changed many times. The writers and coders and directors, have all changed, so it is hard to expect them to follow the same pattern, or to be as good or bad as the predecessors at tricking and riddling us with wild clues. This has and hopefully always will be part of the game. For the sake of this writing, let’s expect that no changes will occur in the pattern.

In GTAIV, there are many times that you will hear on the radio, mention of Los Santos, and other locations that are real locations. We can assume that Los Santos will be in the next game. but at one time Rockstar would actually mention real life locations and then make a mock up of that location but name it different. Through out GTAIV there is no mention of Vice city, until the coming of Ballad of Gay Tony. In BOGT there is a Vice City Radio, Radio station.

In past patterns

In the first Grand Theft Auto game, you start out in Liberty City then move to Vice City as you progress in the game. In the end you have to defeat the city of San Andreas. After a few addon games, we came to GTAIII. In GTAIII We are some un-named guy who is left for dead by his female partner in crime when she shot him at point blank with a shotgun, right after a bank robbery. This un-named guy gets arrested and is being transported from one jail to another with two other inmates. In transit between the jails, the “patty wagon” gets stopped guns are drawn, a bridge is blown up. All to aid in the release of one of the prisoners. The un-named guy that is played as your character, and third man with bandages on his hands are left as the only living people at the scene. So they flee and take it as a gift. Luckily hackers get into police records and prevent anyone from that “Little Road Trip” from ever being remembered in the database. So that explains how you are free. You eventually make it through the ranks to take over the gang that the third person on that “patty wagon” runs.  The guy that helps you the whole time who has the bandages on his hands, is named “8-ball”. He is a bomb maker about the same age as you.  That is a strange inconsistency. Due to the time line jumps of the next two games. but still back to gtaiii, as you get to the airport you see signs that say that you can travel to Vice City . But you can not.

Later you make it to Vice city (following the way the first GTA was done), There are no clues of San andreas you just play the roll of some poor dork from Liberty City who was dropped off after getting out of jail,  and forced to  do a drug trade. You get ambushed by a local gang. Now the people who have you kind of blackmailed into the drug trade, don’t have their money, and they don’t have their drugs. You are responsible to get one back to them. You fail at that. But you take over the whole city of Vice city and become the new Gang leader of the whole city. Again you are in a city that has an 8-ball’s bomb shop in it. Strange thing is the game is set almost 15 year prior to GTAIII in liberty city. This would have made 8ball quite a well organized shop owner, for someone who just got out of jail in gtaiii. I can only assume he blew his hands up prior to gtaiii and that is how he got busted.

Some more clues to San Andreas being next One thing that guy misses. His posterboard he posted. in the middle it says “Liberty City is over, on the top it shows GTAIV album Art in the bottom right, we see what is likely part of the album art for the next grand theft aut. Looks like trees, edge of a mountain and some sky. Much like San Andreas. To further match what he shows in his page.    .

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas in 2011

What we can be certain of

Grand Theft Auto 5 will not be out for atleast three more years. They will do the same with GTAiv as they did with GTA and GTAiii, Liberty City – Vice City – Sand Andreas will all be under the same number title. Each Chapter will have it’s own extra episode(s). Count on GTAV being the grounds for a whole new batch, Such as london and so on, or a visit to a whole new city, as they did with GTAII

If you want more detail, Here more on the same subject of the Next Grand Theft auto

We want an MMORPG For The Next Grand Theft Auto Game

The votes had been tallied up and we see that  77.78% of the users want to see an MMorpg for the next Grand Theft Auto Game

5.56% said no way

16.67% Said They want a donut (lol)

Now the new vote is what city we want to see for The Next Grand Theft Auto

I am not aiming super high, I am hoping for Vice City again. But if this will be an mmorpg then we want a whole country, so we can sit in whatever city we want to.

GTAIV Vice City Or San Andreas Next?

Clearly it will be Vice City. San Andreas is the final city each time and Liberty City is where you start.
On GTAIII Vice city is what happened after the Game coders smoothed out the code and repacked it to take less space, allowing them to pack more crap in one game.
GTAIII Took a hearty machine back in the day, as GTAIV take a Hearty Machine these days. Vice city took a slightly stronger computer on III, yet played twice as smooth. Vice city will play smoother again. If computer gamers are allowed a chance to ride the GTAIV tail to the end, then GTA PC Fans will be in for a re-occurring blast.
Will we see a yellow washed city again? I was not bothered by that in III , It gave the feel of a sunny city. Especially after Rainy Liberty City. More Boats, less garbage, more old people and malls. The only things I anticipate. I am ready for the announcement .
What I hope for, is a glimpse at an old burned out Tommy Vercetti, in a retirement home, along with the un named Guy from GTAIII, And Carl Johnson from San Andreas living up on the beach, with no role in the game other than showing he is still alive.

There was an interview with the creators of Grand Theft Auto, and they said that we will not see any persons returning in GTAIV Because they are all dead. Vice city in GTIII was a step back in time, and so was San Andreas, what will happen in that case? will they close the books for good and show us how they all die?
Buy the next game, Buy the pc version to get the real deal, and we will know what’s up.

Have Fun Good Luck

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.

EA Buys Euphoria engine? Rumor?

There is talk all over the net right now that EA games bought GTAIV game engine Euphoria.

Just Google it

What does this mean for the future of GTA ?

What does this mean for the future of Ea’s video games?

Are we about to see some really good EA games coming up? Does this mean the next True Crimes is actually going to be good?  Does this mean that Rockstar has a whole new better engine in mind?

Or is this a rumor?

Seems it broke on the 15th August 2008. So far all I see is people asking if it is true. As I amd doing.

Is It true?

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.
