GTA 4 PC this October?
January 25, 2008
French site Jeuxpo reports that Grand Theft Auto IV will be released on PC in Europe this October. Though they do not offer any specific sources, they do cite retail plans. Neither Rockstar, nor Take Two has confirmed this to be true, but as one can expect, the PC version should be out within six to eight months of the game’s console release.
GTA 4 will set stores on fire on April 29 for PS3 and Xbox 360. This time around, the game is based on a rip off version of New York City, dubbed Liberty City, and is set in the present time. Besides the obvious crime-based missions in the game, players will have the option to make friends and maintain relationships with people in the game for added benefits.

“Will GTA 4 be available for PC version? if it is, when and what will be the minimum required configuration?”
wtf kinda quetion is that? what, u thing we know more than u? bad news we dont. noone has oficialy announced about pc port. If there is no info about port then how can we know about stuff like system requirements? -_- ok..the only way to find out is to call rockstar….i give u 1%chance that they will tell u them.. infact iven if there will be port, i am 100 sure they didnt even start to port it? so even they dont know requirements yet.
March 15th, 2008 at 7:26 am
Of course this game will come out for pc, the ps3 and 360 are very expensive, rockstar will gain more profit if they release gta 4 for pc, more people will buy the game.
Probably, the game will not come for pc before 2009, and the system requirements will be huge, but i think this game won’t disappoint it’s fans.
And surely, i am buying it
March 26th, 2008 at 8:55 am
i am here with a very secret report cause my dad is working with the rockstars, he is an assistant disginer. the gta 4 will be released on pc at the end of this year.
the requirments will be
1.5 gb ram
core 2 duo
8800gt xfx/ asus or any other higher.
2.22 ghz processor
March 28th, 2008 at 1:15 am
that sounds like a bunch of bullshit, I hope you are not fucking with us…how do we know if what he is saying is true?
March 28th, 2008 at 4:24 am
i think the requirements will be pretty steep considering the awesome graphics.. but i have an XBOX 360… =D
March 28th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
How many people actually use the PC as a gaming machine? Yea, I know, blasphemy, but really.
April 5th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
it will come out for pc, i hope. After all the other gta’s where out 6 months later it was on pc.
April 6th, 2008 at 12:06 am

April 6th, 2008 at 12:29 am
Ah frank what is wrong with you oh course its coming to pc they’re already selling prerelease copies of the pc edition at game traders and eb.
April 7th, 2008 at 12:59 am
“who even plays grand theft auto on a pc???? its only ment for a playstation or an xbox”
I don’t know, why don’t you ask the thousands of players playing San Andreas Multiplayer and Multitheft Auto: Deathmatch? =D
April 8th, 2008 at 8:50 am
i am sure it will port to PC
and you don’t need your Hard drive up to 500GB it crazy.
look at Xbox360 HD DVD, it only up to 250GB, How it going to have 500 GB
also the game is not big like San Andreas, the map is smaller.
How can i know all this? i read from many place, try to look another page.
April 9th, 2008 at 8:05 am
as far as ive heard and know on april29 th thexbox and ps versions will be released regrding on pc the rockstar will probably announce it on aprilthe 29 th and i think probably its gonna come around two to 3 months maximium after its release on other consoles this is because it was already due to relese in europe around last year and they stated that it would come put on pc, now you dont think that they wouold just shut down pc productions for xbox and others. the bad news ull have to wait for it on pc,that sucks and i stiill play it on pc, yeah i do ,wait for april 29 th for more conformation of release dates and others ,until then make sure u destroy ur friends xbox,,huhuh haha
April 9th, 2008 at 12:36 pm
people come on, just because you dont own a decent enough pc to play good games on doesnt mean the rest of us can’t. first person shooters are especially more playable with a mouse and keyboard. and with the current quad cores and high end duals couple with 2 gigs of RAM and two competitive video cards i dont see how gta4 will be so hard to accomplish on the pc. since the advent of multiple video cards PC gaming has continued to grow alongside next gen gaming, and there are more demanding games than gta4. lets get serious a game that takes 640 video memory and 500 gigs of ram to install? that sounds more than little exaggerated kinda like a comment a kid would make. even as big as san andreas was it only took up 3 gigs in my HD (i cant imagine gta4 being more than double that size maybe 8 gigs at the most), and im running it at 65-100 fps maxed out on a 1024 by 1080 monitor (and it looks millions time better than it will look on console, which will probably also be the case for the next release)…..so how is that for no one playing on the PC?
April 9th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
i meant 1280 by 1024!
April 10th, 2008 at 1:07 am
People relax gaming at pc is quite different than console gaming.Both are great but GtA4 is better played at pc cause of the shooting first of all.I have ps3 and a descent pc (dual core with ati 3580) and i think i ll wait for the pc version.
April 13th, 2008 at 10:10 am
You’re all bitches. Just wait!!!!!!
April 13th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Yeh i agree totally, and for the system requirement theories I believe it will be on the same lines of ‘Assassins Creed’ system recommendations, which statistically are the same as ‘Crysis’ requirements. The difference is i can max out Assassins Creed with 40fps+
So I wouldn’t stress to bad about your system whether you have a DX10 or 9 setup because I remember San Andreas performing like a dream and back then my comp was a piece of S*!#
In the end of the day whether its going to have DX9 support or just be only DX10 it will come down to how well they will polish and tune the game itself, and this is where Crysis failed, epically.
But for now id be more concerned about whether we will see it on pc or not, this tension that Rockstar are building on us pc gamers is ridiculous and i doubt they even realize or care.
April 14th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Hi.Hello buddies. I m from PAKISTAN. And i m really big fan of GTA’S. I will WAIT for GTA IV

Hi there.I am from Pakistan. I want to say something to ROCKSTAR. If they can’t release GTA IV
PC VERSION GAME then we never buy any product of ROCKSTAR COMPANY. This is 100% sure.
April 14th, 2008 at 8:04 am
Aslaam. HELLO. Keep going on these nice words. because rockstar didn’t want more Fame.
They want only Loss. They love only Xbox or PS3. THANKS TO OTHER GAME DELVERPORS TO THERE BEST
GAMES. Like EA.
April 14th, 2008 at 9:32 am
Uhhh, right. Because they wouldn’t release one of the most anticipated games of the last year on PC? Yeah, I’m sure they’d hate to make all that money…
April 16th, 2008 at 3:07 am
Gta 4 will come out for pc and i will be a good one for pc as i am running the best
April 17th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
hi guys all u console bu#mers really need to get a grip, pc gaming rules!!!!!!!!
my system specs…..
e8400 core2duo running@3.97ghz
4×1gb xms3 pc10666
2x 512mb gigabyte 3870hd(each fitted with a thermaltake duorb cooler overclocked to 910mhz gpu 2310mhz memory clock)
asus p5e3 mobo
2x 250gb diamondmax 21 hdd
tagan 800w psu
running on my viewsonic 28″ widescreen monitor which is hd ready with a max resolution of 1920 x 1200 (plus my other dual monitor is a 22″ cibox monitor not hd ready but has a higher resolution than a 360)
sythe ninja rev.b(silent cooler) with added 2 12cm blue l.e.d fans
now tell me guys the lot of you how a 360 can beat that, oh almost forgot! it cant!
I plan to buy the reciever that allows you to play with xbox 360 controller on pc and i have a mod called best tilt, which is awesum for racing games, as it turns playability almost like the wii controller. Don’t worry about the delay with GTA4 guys, if your a racing fan there’s a new game comin out called race driver grid which i can only presume is a toca series game, comin out for pc april or may time copy and paste (race driver grid) into ebay search engine…
April 18th, 2008 at 5:47 am
Hmmm… how can an Xbox 360 beat that? Oh, hmm, maybe the fact that it’s a hell of a lot cheaper? Or maybe that when you buy a console you know you’ll be able to play EVERY game ever made for it without having to shell out hundreds of dollars for upgrade components? Or maybe the fact that you can play multiplayer games at home with friends if your internet goes down? Oh, and there’s the fact that consoles don’t run Vista.
April 18th, 2008 at 7:20 am
hihihi Ive never read such a stupid thread “ohh my daddy works at rockstar, and threre wont be a pc version” or even a better one “you ll need 500gb hard disc space” ohhh i liked that one too “there wont be a pc release, because since 2004 there hasnt been one”. There will definitely be a pc release
April 18th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Ewoksrock Hmmm… how can an Xbox 360 beat that? Oh, hmm, maybe the fact that it’s a hell of a lot cheaper
you have to pay for quality and my pc isn’t just for games its a recording studio for my dj tracks
can you play your decks and make awesum videos n songs with a 360, can u ???
what did you have before your 360 an xbox ??? sell it 40 quid then pay 300 quid for a 360
i upgrade my parts costing me around 300 quid which means i get ultra reliable parts not shoddy chinese components but 100% awesum performance enhancing equipment which is state of the art compared to your crapbox360 so sit on it
April 19th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
Guys don’t be crazy the PC requirements wont be that high!u people should be aware that the consoles graphics are already inferior to the PC and also that PC has better RAM,at least i don’t think the requirements will be high as Crysis!(which was poorly optimized)
April 20th, 2008 at 4:36 am
Hi, 1 PC is alot cheaper then consoles as we dont pay subscrition to play online game only mmorpgs, yes the computers cost alot at frist but will last longer then a console, graphics are better games are cheaper for pc and free if you no what your doing, and unlike xbox if you put free games on it does not destroy it. but consoles are good for simple people.
and requments will prob be 2.5GHz-3.0GHz single core graphics card will be like the nvidia 7000 series about only 256mb ram i dont think it will need dual core as min but look at guitar hero worst port ever lol

Well….. I can see the hateful few who wish that Gta 4 never comes out on pc!! But i feel a greater grin and pride in saying this…… GTA 4 on pc will be bigger and and better a gta 4.5 if u say..I get better Graphics, better sound quality…better control…hell evrything is better than consoles… and people who say u waste money on ur pc. I GOT INTO GAMING KNOWING I WILL SPEND CASH for it you numb nuts. So i dont give a damn if i shell out a fortune cause i knwo mi own a playstation 4 or xbox 720
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:11 pm
It will be on pc, just not yet.
April 25th, 2008 at 1:10 am
I’ve been playing GTA ever since 1998 on my PC ,uptill now all GTA’s has been ported to PC and have been highly successful.GTA 4 will surely be ported to the PC,I dunno when but I can guarantee you the PC version will feature better graphics.
Most of us has played and even beaten last years system hog Crysis which required a Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz,1 GB RAM and 256 MB GeForce 6600 @ least.This year we have Assassin’s Creed and it requires Pentium D 2.6,1.5 or maybe 2 GB RAM,256 MB GeForce 6600.GTA series has never been a system hog so I can’t imagine people saying such bullshits.I think 3 ghz Single Core,1.5 GB RAM and 256 MB Graphics Card supporting DirectX 9.0C/10 (Geforce 7xxx or Radeon HD) will do fine.
If you plan on playing GTA 4 next week then go buy a X360.
April 25th, 2008 at 6:21 am
Rockstar are morons…. they said “4 years in the making”
4…freakin….years… to make the game coulda done PC xbox and ps3… but noooo let the console goers have it first they are morons and deserve to die. thanks
April 25th, 2008 at 6:27 am
Hey jamie!
April 25th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Sorry i wasted ur time!
April 25th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Of course it will come out for PC, the companies are in the end always about money, and you can always get more money by releasing for PC.
Let me point something out, XBOX360 and PS3 are INFERIOR in every way to a higher end PC, not just in function but in specifications also, yes, it costs insanely more, but in the end, it’s worth it.
And the requirements you guys have no doubt guessed are ridiculous in the extremes. 500GB harddrive? let me tell you something, GTA4 is available on a NORMAL multilayered DVD for xbox360, which at most holds 10GB of data.
Even if they used 5x compression (impossible, the best compression available is about 2.4) it would still only take 50 GB maximum.
You are all fools who know nothing about the true technical depth of computers, or even their console counterparts that you so idolize. Read some and inform your selfs before making more misguided statements please.
April 26th, 2008 at 3:54 am
Let’s compare gta4 graphics with crysis graphics. U can run decently crysis with a 8600gts and an E4400 (settings: high no AA) so probabely u will be able to run gta4 with this kind of computer with no problem. And the harddrive? I say 20 gb maximum
April 26th, 2008 at 9:06 am
gta 4 500 gb
10 blue rays anyone….get real!
April 27th, 2008 at 3:00 am
This is what happens when you get a pile of 12 year old console fans. They sit back and make up crap and sit back and giggle like little giddy girls. And xbox is definitely a less convenient. kids love them because they get on the living room floor with them when daddy tells them to get out of the office. The PC version will be out because rockstar wouldn’t want to lose all the money it will generate at it’s release. There are three obvious choices for release. October. Near Christmas, or early 2009 in January. I doubt they wait an entire year and have people notice gta4 would be a year old.
April 27th, 2008 at 6:10 am
October is not good enough is this not the 21st century.
April 27th, 2008 at 11:02 am
october or jan 2009 will be too late.. because games graphics will be much better that time. it took 4 damn years to release this game, i am not that impressed. I dont know about you guys but i think Mafia 2 will be much better, oh and the release date for mafia 2 is around jan 2009
April 28th, 2008 at 6:59 am
Ive got to say reading all this, that that console vs pc war thats been going on for ages, is getting crazy now. Yes, im a pc gamer. ive never owned a console. I prefer my PC. I can justify spending £1000+ on a High End Custom Built Pc, because i use it all the time. Im always making websites or graphic packages, or recording music, and also playing games. Only one of those things can be done on a console. Yes, admitidly Vista was the worst system consuming OS to ever plauge the humble PC, but if you’ve got a fairly decent machine it can be worth it. Anywho, back to the point. Hopefully GTA4 will be out on PC. Even though its out on consoles first, who cares. Yes, its annoying, but! we (PC Gamers) have the added advantage that it will have all its bugs fixed, the graphics will look 10x better due to the resolutions we can throw at our monitors. The one thing i still struggle to understand, is that Games are made ON PC’s. So then it would be easier to write it for PC first no? Meh. - Loki -
April 29th, 2008 at 12:39 am
fools pc gamers have it better then console gamers
ps3 graphics= geforce 6800 ultra thats 4 years old kids
pc = 9800 gx2, then you have sli, tri sli, quad sli
then you can get up to 8 cores octocore
one game theats on pc that graphically superior= crysis nothing comes close
mose and keyboard is the bomb for fps period.
April 29th, 2008 at 2:46 am
I hope I will be able to play the game on my laptop (t9300 duo 2.5GHz, 4Gb ram, 8600m GT nvidea). I played (and play) gta games on my pc sinds the beginning of the series. Its much better on a pc than on a console. I hoop gta4 will come soon. My prediction (for what its worth): september 2008.
April 29th, 2008 at 7:24 am
well rockstar is a company
so it only cares about money and fame(=money)
it released GTA IV in ps3 and x360 today and it will release it on pc in some months in order to sell in consoles first
if they released it in all platforms they would not make a selling hit in consoles because pc version would b better
Y?
because it fixes bugs u have mods other utilies (trainers etc )
so they postpone it
also with the pc version u will have better graphics
EX. compare the pc and the ps2 version of san andreas.
do not tell me its the same, you are fucking retarded
thats y they dont have a pc version yet
they do not announce it fear of the low sales from users who have both pc an console and prefer the first and will wait
April 29th, 2008 at 7:26 am
also i believe it will be out in pc’s around christmas
April 29th, 2008 at 8:09 am
Firstly to all the console dongs on here…Your clueless an all live wid your moms still. Tea ready soon? Right.. I dont know if its comin out on pc an im not goin to blag that i have a familly member working for rockstar….but heres my arguement coz reading some of these posts pissed me off. Pc’s Rule.. Consoles are limited hunks of junk..Pc’s now run x-box 360 game pads through usb so if u dont like mouse & keyboard then theres the solution. secoundly mouse an keyboard is the way for fps’s rightly said a few comments above. Pc Pro gamers are miles ahead of console pro’s..scores e.t.c Gta 4 will be on pc for these simple facts every other gta has right from number 1 the reason it takes so long.. (based on inteligence) is that pc equipment varies so vastly that they have to work and work on solutions to problems.. sort of patching b4 release. The game testers will report bugs e.t.c back an they will iron them out over time b4 the release. so yeh..gta 4 will be on pc..purely also because theres millions of revenue lost if they dont. fact! and about requirements…. they will be very flexable i think.. engines can be stripped now a days i.e cod4 i run that on a p4 single core with a 6800gt on 4x an 1 gb ram …and i own.. i do ..(player name [FuN]MooDSwinG) people also play it with dual and also quad cores with all types of cards. So dont b stupid..the more flexable an engine the more money then can make from a bigger market. simple.an they will do it because they can..i know ill have to wait but i also garentee that i wont have to upgrade my pc to play it. might luk less atractive but im not a show off gamer..i play to live the game. not watch it. Peace! oh and check my tracks out on myspace/djdillema2006 (drum & bass producer)

I think the biggest question the PC/console debate faces is this: how long is there going to be a difference? We’re fast approaching the point where in-game footage will be nearly indistinguishable from real life visuals. Sure, PCs will always have the leg up on processing power due to the ease of upgrades, but eventually you’re going to reach the maximum resolution and frame rate that the human eye can process.
April 29th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Can i play GTA 4 on this Configuration? 2.33GHz,Nvidia GeForce 8800GT,2GB RAM Memory
April 29th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
you “it wont come out on pc” douches and the “i have an xbox guys” and the “who games with a computer”….none of the systems can even get close to the graphical capability of a computer…a 8800gt would beat the hell ouf of any of the conoles as far as graphics go. Just remember…what are the games designed on dipshits….hmm i wonder…A COMPUTER
April 29th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
as far as system requirements go, it will probably require cpu power more so than graphics. think about it. the landscape of san andreas is HUGE!!! the new lib city is about as big, ony WAY more detailed, complicated, and advanced. more cars, more peds, etc. this will require a very powerful cpu. i just bought an intel core 2 quad q9300 @2.5 GHz, and i’m wondering if that’ll be able to handle it. i might have to overclock. as far as graphics go, i have XFX GeForce 9600 GT in SLI, meaning i can run crysis in 1280×1024, all settings on high, anti-ailiassing 4x at a steady 25 fps. judging from the screenshots, gta4 doesn’t look up to par with crysis in the graphics department. it shouldn’t bee TOO bad for system requirements
April 29th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
i just updated my pc n put in a new gpu now i got 2x 8800gts kewl aint it
wat m tryin to say is dat i cud’ve easily bought an Xbox360 (which i do own but dont really play shooting games on it only racing n sports) pc games r always better although we have to wait abit more then those crappy console freaks but we got the advantages easily online play better graphics more integrated controls more sound quality a heck lot of downloadable content the community never dies 
PC gaming rules and will always rule over consoles the gaming was made on pc the gta series was made on pc even the gta IV game engine was made on pc 
hehe so m sure that rockstar will release it on Pc but i probably wud take 5 or 6 or maybe 9 months not more then that (i hope) ne way m out
PC RULES
CONSOLE SUCKS (it doesnt suck if u r playing racing or sport games)
April 29th, 2008 at 4:59 pm

quad core 5Ghz, 8Gb memory,9900 Geforce 4xSLI operation system microsoft vista sp3 resolution 1900×1200Mhz
bye and shut up!
April 30th, 2008 at 1:57 am
what is gta 4 made of a ps3 or xbox or the only hope PC computer!!!!!With a macintosh friends. SO gta 4 is produce from pc not a ps3 or xbox neither. The rocstar use a pc to create gta4 and so they can play it.The rocstar pc must can play gta 4 and so ours.
April 30th, 2008 at 1:59 am
gta 4 must come out a pc version for sure!!!
April 30th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Of course it’s going to come out on the pc. And the requirements won’t be that steep. Having played it now, I can comfortably say that my year old pc would be able to run it just fine, based on the graphics and processing requirements of other games that it has no problems running.
April 30th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
First of all i would like to say that all you consol users are bickering about a fight you will never win. Pc is just better! just get over it. more flexible, better graphics (x100000!!!),and when push comes to shuv when newer games come out for different platforms you will be the first person at the storeline to buy a whole new machine! I think I will stay with my PC, after all it will take them 10+ years to release a console that can produce the graphic displays that my TOP OF THE LINE PC produces!! And by then, I will be even farther ahead!!
And yes, GTA4 will be out for PC Oct. 26th.
….Good Times!
April 30th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Well, it seems the average age here is 12, based on your nonsensical posts. This “war” between PC and consolers is laughable. Who cares which is better… it is what is best for the individual.
As for whether it will make it out to the PC, it may. However, it still takes time, money and resources to port the code over to a PC. Whether this is feasible in their business model is not known, but if it is, it will show up. Time will tell.

now after reading all this i agree with a ton of the people pcs are just hands down better at everything and the people who say that the pcs cost more thats not always true the prices are droping quite alot where u can get a 9600gt 4gb ram a mobo and a quad core q6600 for like 400$ that alone would out perform like 10x ps3’s rolled into 1 on top of that the ps3s in my area here cost 650$ still and i personally see it as the people buying them getting riped off with what ur getting. also as someone has said that gta series came out for the pc first and of course it did but why the hell do us pc users have to wait so damn long for a release if anything they should be releaseing on PC First to show off the sexy graphics the game would have to get more buyers from console users in the future, expecting it to look that as good as the pc and such on top of that you would think it would allow for more bug fix’s and such befor going to consoles
April 30th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
it WILL come out for pc, that has been stated as a fact and it will outshine console versions, which the console fanboys that wrote here it def wont come on pc would be quiet, get a pc if your so jealous about the pc version ffs
May 1st, 2008 at 2:07 am
i dont know if it is fake but i get a photo image in the pre order site and it says the take 2 is not yet confirmed the release date but its a photo of gta 4 case that have a sign “PC” for window on the top.Wish it would be real.

Thank you MisterDoodads, that’s exactly the thing everyone needs to realize. Sure I’d love to build a sweet gaming pc, but I got sick of windows a few years back and yes, sure, I could go through the trouble of learning Linux, but I just don’t use my home computer for much more than putting music on it and checking movie listings. If I wanted to build a gaming pc I’d spend a lot of time reading up on the best components, hunting for bargains, setting up the computer and going through the trouble of getting everything set up so it works ideally. I’d much rather slap down the cash for a console, plug it into my tv (maximum setup/install time twenty minutes, and that includes the time it took to buy the thing at gamestop) and get right to playing. Sure, your PC might give you better graphics and higher resolutions, but honestly I’ll take quality gameplay over graphics anyday. Sure, I love games that look great like Bioshock or God of War, but remember, just because something looks nice, doesn’t mean it’ll be good at anything else. Think Jessica Alba.

plz gta 4 on pc, caus de pc games iz frees!!!1
May 2nd, 2008 at 2:01 am
umm requirements will NOT be to huge… Because all xbox, ps3 portable games have low requirements. Why? because Xbox and ps are weaker then computers by far.
May 2nd, 2008 at 7:00 am
its coming on pc. see on http://www.citydisc.ch it is germany or spanish dunt know but see the gta 4 pc version pre ordered site. cccccccooooooooooooollllllllllll wish it is not fake.
May 2nd, 2008 at 10:22 am
Look this argument about pc versus xbox is ridiculous. Although the pc can have better processors, more memory, and pretty much everything better, the xbox always wins. Why, do u ask? Well I’ll tell you. Xbox has a better online system (live) then the pc. It has the best controller (which can be plugged into the pc but it sucks because its not the same as most the time you have to fix the controls manually) to control your person. And the final thing, we beat you to the finish line. Who choses xbox and playstation first, well, every producer of any game. They know that gaming consoles are better to go with, then, by decision, they pity pc gamers so they convert it just for you
Yep laugh now but you know i’m right.
May 2nd, 2008 at 12:32 pm
No you’re not !
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Andrew you are so dumb. Probably the biggest retard on here.
Producers MAKE GAMES OF PCS DUMBASS! ALL PRODUCERS DO! We don’t need your shitty controller to play our PC games because mouse+keyboard dominates which is why in fact 360 yes i said it 360 gamers want a patch to be able to use keyboard on mouse on 360. To Ewoksrock. Building a computer isn’t even that hard. 20 minutes tops to put in hardware, and windows doesnt even take long to install. I built my system in a half hour/45 minutes. So that little stint about time is bullshit. Gaming quality doesnt get any better then on PC.

Console graphics will never catch up to PC graphics. For one simple reason.
We get new cards every few months or so maybe longer but constantly.
You get new consoles every 3-4 years? YOu guys still dont beat PCs in graphics
As stated above PS3 runs 6600 graphics umm were on 9800 you guys are 4 years behind us
you guys will only get farther.
PC > Console in any way shape or form. You guys can always order a high end Dell you dont even have to build it. Oh and computers have less hardware malfunctions then you guys =]. Game Over consoles fags PC wins.
May 2nd, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Why are people having a hard time with this?
PC’s are not consoles. PC’s are an entity, basically everything is based off of what a Personal Computer is. It’s the same as the Mac vs PC….a mac IS a fucking PC you morons, its just a consumer based and company locked copyright Operating System, but it uses the exact same fundamentals as a….PC.
Consoles are made for one purpose….gaming, that doesn’t mean the consoles will have the best array of games, it means the hardware your using is made for gaming. The look and speed may impress you, but not if you know how to look at hardware. I’ve had a 360, I liked it. Ive sold it. I have had plenty of consoles over my lifetime and you know what? I still don’t compare them at all to a PC, because they arent a freaking computer.
Cliff put it best. You can always upgrade your PC hardware, especially if you built it on your own, which isnt very difficult to do. Just a little costly, but so is buying anything for your console.
The game will be on PC, and if you think it won’t you obviously have no idea how the whole gaming operation works.
You see, companies make games so that people can play them, so that they can make money, to make more games so that more people can play them so that they can make more money so they can make more games.
More platforms, better chances for successful releases.
When big name games come along, with a lot of hype, the companies won’t say to each other, “Say, lets stick with the PS3 market, they are certainly our largest audience despite the shitty reviews the console itself has run up, and who ever uses PC’s anyway anymore?”
You know who uses PC’s anyway anymore? All the people who run shit! You know, the smart people who sign your checks, and keep the grid running, the people in office, the people in education, in prison systems….boy, I guess I would say the PC is not a fucking market, but an ENTITY!!
Our society is developing through a system that revolves around what the PC is at its foundations, why the hell are morons even trying to compare the PC to anything at all? I don’t get it! It’s like comparing a writing genre to the writing system itself…..you can’t compare a branch to the tree.

when gta iv comes out for pc this october will it only be on windows vista or is it on windows xp or both
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:33 pm
also, has anyone ever wondered why crysis was released only on PC? well, because the inferior PS3 and 360 cannot handle it’s superb graphics and requirements. PC is better for games, that’s the cold hard truth. i can’t wait till console owners have to play old games when all the new ones are released only on PC.
May 2nd, 2008 at 4:15 pm

May 3rd, 2008 at 2:14 am
At the end of the day what are games made and designed on hmmm Pc, wheres dos the hardware come from to build these consoles hmmm Pc, so consoles will always be behind pc. point made
May 3rd, 2008 at 2:27 am
another thing 10 million people play World of warcraf online and thats just one single pc game, i dont think there is one console that even has that many players online, pc also supports upto 64 players online in battlefield 2 and console can only handle 32 at most, there are so many advantages to pc gaming than console gaming (i must say tho their are alot more racing games availible for consoles than pc) and everyone gos on about console hD gaming pc have had it for years, but at the ned of the day pc will always be better but if you like console gaming fine if you like pc gaming fine.
May 3rd, 2008 at 5:26 am
My consoles have never crashed. I’ve had an Xbox 360 for more than a year and no red rings of death yet. My PS3, Wii and Xbox 360 always run when I want them to. Can you PC gamers tell me you’ve never had a problem with yours? Ever?
As far as ‘pcs had HD for years’, yes, you had a very nice pixel count for games that still didn’t look much better than they would have on a decent tv. The one thing consoles have that pcs don’t? I can sit on my couch and play games with friends on a single console. No internet connection or other systems necessary.
May 3rd, 2008 at 5:43 am
I hope dmc4 released
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:13 am
i can sit on a couch and play games with my mates with the pc just use multiple wireless controllers easy, your console hardware is what you have for the next 2-4 years as in mine will be upgraded and looking great while yours is outdated and getting old, GTA will be released on pc no matter what because it was designed on coded on one.
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 am
if it doesnt come out then ya but if it does then what system
May 3rd, 2008 at 11:12 am
it will come out on pc no doubt about it
May 3rd, 2008 at 11:25 am
Common people, look at the buisiness part of a game like GTA4.. retail buisiness can make some great diggets (and rockstars ofcourse) out of this.. It would just be plain stupid not to sell it on the pc.. its not a mather what console or pc is best to play on, they dont look at that AT ALL. its just what will make the most money, probably xbox360 and ps3 are the better sellers if you compare it with pc selling games, BUT still pc games sell! so dont ask yourself if its comming out, thats a fact, its just the time when its in retail for us to buy. So please quit this redicilous yes and no game and act more like a smart thinking grown up.
May 3rd, 2008 at 11:44 am
you all are morons, it will come out on pc it fucking started on pc fucktards.
and the only reason they take awhile to get on pc is to wait it out for the console
versions to make money cuz less ppl pirate on it. many more pirate on PC so fuckoff
be out at end of year,.
May 3rd, 2008 at 1:24 pm
GTA 4 hold on PC!
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/GTAtoPC/index.html
May 3rd, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Also I think this time around GTA4 will be pirated a lot less because it has amazing multiplayer so people will buy it so they can get a multiplayer CD key.
May 3rd, 2008 at 2:53 pm
It’ll come out on PC eventually. Consoles are easier. Fact is, every console is the same, so if it’ll run right on one 360, it’ll run right on them all. PC’s aren’t that simple, you have to try and make it run right on almost every combination of modern day hardware that’s out there. That’s alot harder, and takes alot more time. It’s not piracy, or cash, or anything else, it’s the fact that it takes alot longer to make a game work right on most PC’s than on consoles.
May 3rd, 2008 at 7:31 pm
i have only one thing to say here playing GTA games in Xbox,PS3 Sucks! cause i think That Gta is ment to be playd in Pc! and i Hopefully hope that and i think that Gta 4 Will get on PC Don’t know when But it must be cause all other Gta games have been on PC like Gta1,Gta2,gta3 and Vice City And also San andreas…..so why would Gta 4 Not Be able to Realese on Pc!?
May 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Yeah no S*** it will come out on PC, I’m sure its fairly obvious, but the theme of this thread is whether it will be out in October and if the rumor is true or close to it, can any one of you guys have an idea of its release date cos id certainly like to hear something on those lines, rather than a bitchy PC vs Console battle.
As for the Console geeks why don’t u stick your controllers up your ass and go play GTA4, Please this is a discussion for PC ‘Real’ gamers. Thankyou.
May 3rd, 2008 at 9:47 pm
I can’t wait to Play GTA 4 on my PC…

May 4th, 2008 at 5:41 am
According to some blog site, at the last page of the manual for the Xbox360 version there’s a date for the expected PC release. Can anyone check his manual and see if it’s true? btw heres the link:
http://gamesweasel.com/blog/news/gta-iv-pc-release-date/
May 4th, 2008 at 7:50 am
Sure it will be on PC. Rockstar can’t officially confirm the news just because it’s a Xbox and PS3 “exclusive”. For now. Remember Vice City? It was a “PS2 exclusive”. For just six months more less. So, in the meantime sit down and be patient. Listen my advice… Farewell.
May 4th, 2008 at 9:19 am
hey did u guys see rockstar confired that pc version will be release to the end of the year. that it says no comment one. see in google. and it says …… see by your selves ._.
May 4th, 2008 at 9:51 am
No comment = yes. Otherwise they would just say “no”. They just want to wait until the console sales will end to announce it.
May 4th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
The comments on this page are so fucking stupid that I’m rather surprised that any of the posters were smart enough to breathe.

I’m an electronic engineering student, and me and my mates LAN every weekends seemlessly (games like: DOTA, Call of Duty 4, Command and conquer, Fifa 08, etc) before working on our final year project with just a few cables and a hub. My point is PC’s are far better at multi-tasking than just your lame Consoles.I run my PC on a 46-inch full-HD Samsung. PC’s can do everything a console can and more, and there’s no fat guy in some office dictating what or how do I use my PC like consoles have, they are always trying to prevent people to use Homebrew apps on them. So, Console fanboys can go hump a thorny tree for all I care.
May 5th, 2008 at 1:09 am
and Yes, GTA Rules!! And it’s coming to PC. Enough said.
May 5th, 2008 at 1:40 am
it is not a cool or not smart move if gta 4 dont came out for pc.

I read this from this site: http://gamesweasel.com/blog/news/gta-iv-pc-release-date/
GTA IV PC release date
One eagle-eyed reader of our blog a release date for GTA 4 for pc has been spotted in the manual of the Xbox 360 version of GTAIV. Apparently on 13th December 2008 Niko and Roman will be finding a place on your Windows start menu just in time for the Christmas. No details on what additional GTA4 PC version features will be included, if it will be a Vista-only release or what minimum hardware will be required - but best put in a word to Santa for the latest Alienware hardware just in case.
May 5th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
if GTA4 doesn’t come for pc i will slaughter sam and then commit suicide
May 5th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
It probably will come out. The developers are starting to release for consoles first to help curb piracy. I mean how many of you would just download the PC version instead of paying, if it came out at the same time?
May 5th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
where are the console scumbags?? i don’t see them anymore.. (OWNED)
i want the gta 4 pc version so i’ll wait..
console sucks pc rocks…
so shut up………
May 5th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
Wow some of you guys really are fuck tards. The PC owns the PS3 and Xbox 360 and every way there is. Modding, Patching a whole bunch of other stuff too. AND FYI some people find it easier to play with a keyboard and mouse rather than a fucking controller. More freedom with the mouse.
May 5th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
Like I said over a month ago, and I quote: “How many people actually use the PC as a gaming machine? Yea, I know, blasphemy, but really.”

May 6th, 2008 at 6:06 am
WHY IS IT THAT EVERYONE THINKS PS3/XBOX360 are very powerful machines that cannot be easily matched by pc !!!
PCs beat ps3/xbox360 in no time!! hell the PS3 processor is sooo slow it cant even run windows xp !!
and graphic card equivelant to 6800 ultra. anyone with a DUO processor and a 7800GTX + card could smoke a PS3 easily !! I got DUAL 8600 GTS OVERCLOCKED, and I am more than sure I could smoke a PS3 with no trouble. and NO ITS NOT CPU DEPENDENT. its not like FSX. dont sweat it guys. most of you would be able to play GTA IV with no trouble.

May 7th, 2008 at 5:46 am
Glarfhfherbblrrrrg Okay pc users, we get the point, your computers have larger graphic penises than consoles. You know why people buy consoles? They’re cheaper and easier! No time spent shopping for upgrades or installing them into our systems. We plug it into our tv, pop in a disc and go. We all acknowledge the fact that PCs can make prettier looking games. You know what I’m playing right now that has been one of the most fun and innovative experiences in a while? Mario Galaxy. So yes, I’m sure when GTA IV comes to PC it’ll look stunning. The splashes of blood from each innocent bystander/prostitute will be rendered in stunning detail. New topic please.
May 7th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Sure it’s coming out. If not, I think rockstar goes minus on profit, cause pc is still the ruling gaming device. I’m also worried if they release it only on windows vista. Most of us have still xp and i’m not buying vista just because of gta 4 (despiting how great game it is…). Vista sucks big time.
May 7th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
i agree with _painkiller if gta iv comes out only for vista then most of the ppl with pc cant buy it cuz most of us have xp and we wouldnt get gta iv and rockstar the company will lose money so ya they will make it for xp and vista cuz if not they will lose millons of $$$$ so there smart if not then just install vista its free
May 7th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
1 question to ever1 if u guys get gta 4 would ur parents buy it cuz its sexual guns and etc… the store keeper will tell ur parents and who ever and u parents wouldnt buy it so how will ur parenst buy it bag… lol plzzz answer then way i got my gta games and if i get this game i just ask my brother to buy me cuz he is turing 18 this november so he is old enought but if i didnt have a bro il be stuck and my parents would never buy me so ya ever 1 answer how would u guys get it?

Cost of Very High End Computer Capable of Running GTA 4 on PC With Maxed Out Graphics for 24/7 for months on end with no errors or overheating at full 1080p with 4xMSAA (yes I am an expert)
Geforce 8800 GT 512- 160
Intel E8400- 240
P35 Motherboard- 120
2 Gigs DDR800 RAM- 30
Antec 900 Case- 90
600 Watt Power Supply- 70
160 Gig HD- 50
DVD Burner- 25
Shipping- 50
GTA 4 PC Edition- 50
around $905 dollars, including a full new computer system(minus monitor) and a copy of the game
Is it worth it? Hell Yeah! Especially since you can hook your computer up directly to your new HDTV LCD monitor and game like a legendary master. (me)
Oh, and to all you idiots out there, Computers, PS3, and Xbox all use USB, meaning its absolutely no problem to get a nice controller for your computer. 12 bucks buys you a Logitech Dual Pro, which is exactly the same as a PS2 controller, but even more comfortable. Not to mention the fact that Xbox360 crotrollers are DESIGNED TO BE compatible with PC and work fine with no mods in most PC games. In fact its a requirement to be certified to be a Games for Windows title to have full xbox360 controller support built into the game. I imagine GTA 4 will be a games for windows title.
May 8th, 2008 at 1:34 am
GTA 4 will own on PC not many of these console nubs Seem to realize that if a game appears on PC, The modifications and customizations make the community take for example HALF LIFE 2.
So many mods Another example GTA San Andreas,GTA VC etc plus gaming on the pc is always better the consoles will eventually die out when while we wait for the next console to appear the PC can always be constantly upgraded.
SO to clarify PC owns all as multiplayer, modifications etc is just a lot better.
the only problem with the pc is that if you don’t upgrade then the later games you wont be able to play though the PC threshold has been met pretty much with the 8800 gt and the HD 3870 so in all PC will continue to survive.
