  1. I highly doubt rockstar would have neglected a PC release anyway, since the entirety of the GTA series that has been multi-platform (ie on both xbox/360 and ps2/3) have also made it to PC. They ported IV (to whatever standard) despite using an entirely new engine, and despite that fact that coding on that new engine for new systems was probably pretty draining. Yeah, we didn't get red dead, and we don't know why... but it was a new franchise and maybe the guys upstairs (T2) wanted it that way. Max Payne 3 made it to PC, and the port was apparently pretty good, with a handful of sources making comments about the loading times, (I happen to think if you complain about load times in a game you're an idiot but hey.) which indicates rockstar have had a little more experience with the engine and are prepared for a PC release.

    On top of this, not releasing to PC when the modding community is so prevalent is commercial suicide. GTA has one of the most dedicated fan bases there is, people still regularly play, create content for and make machinimas and so on for SA as well as IV. They're an intelligent company, very aware of the industry in which they operate and I think they know what the right decision is from both an image and financial standpoint.

  2. You should be able to record footage at 30fps on that setup. (As in, the video capture software could export 30 fps video, you'd probably get a few more ingame.) GTAIV has a pretty good suite of options to choose from so you can always play with the texture quality / shadows / reflections and density until it balances out nicely. On the rig in my signature, I can record IV on max settings to export at 30fps, with my actual game hitting about 40. Never tried recording at 60, but I imagine it'd chug a bit.

    Just make sure all your drivers are right up to date and you're giving the thing enough space to vent the hot air out until you get to know what your system is capable of.

  3. You don't HAVE to use steam on PS3, do you? (genuine question)

    Also it's not actually Gabe's fault, I'm guessing it's probably to do with the fact it's a digital distributor in general and I wouldn't be surprised if Sony were forcing this upon other digital retailers, since boxed copies offer a different kind of protection. IMO, Sony are being totally short-sighted here (along with just about every other mass media producer there is); I'd have never *intheorycoughcough* bought songs from the VC soundtrack had the game not exposed me to them.

  4. Black people are at the butt of racism because slavery was validated with the lie that they were religiously and socially inferior to white people, and this is a lie that perpetuated even after the abolition of slavery. The Roman empire, when taking continents and countries did so because they were simply more powerful, instead of using race or nationality as some sort of stigma.

  5. It's far too-well designed. I don't understand why they didn't just give 7 a refresh, the usual bugfizes and usability improvements that come with new versions with accents of the metro creeping in. Microsoft have apple envy, and they took it way too far.

    I'll stick with 7 until some third party invariably finds a way to turn it all off.

  6. Tuna's a negative little snotbag that complains when we get no information then turns a release date confirmation into another opportunity to slate rockstar even though he's a member of a GTA fansite so must clearly be so bereft of activities that he feels the need to critisize everyone else's?, that's new.

    Wait, wait no it's not.

    Seriously dude. It's time to drop the keyboard warrior bullshit. People have toiled, stolen, lied and shed blood to ensure that we can send data unfathomable distances at speeds we never thought possible. All you're doing is shitting down that pipeline and perpetuating the infantile plague of anonymous ass-hattery that nobody in the real world will ever, ever, ever care about, or respect. It's kinda sad this is how you find self validation. If you dislike something, stop buying it and be quiet.

    Have a nice day.

    On Topic (yay):

    Good to know that this has stemmed from multiple sources now, and with the release of what seems like quite a bit of media we can be pretty sure that R* won't pull a delay on us. Do R* have any previous spring release dates to base off of so we can maybe narrow down the timeline a bit?

  7. Looks like I'll be getting this release day, then. I never had a console when ANY of the GTAs released onto PC later in the year, but now I do :D - Will probably get the PC version as and when though, probably not PC launch, but steam are notorious for driving GTA prices all the way down at Christmas-time.

  8. I hate you.

    I used to listen to rap across the board but now I limit myself to good rap.

    This entails the aforementioned flobots, as well as some others.

    atmosphere:

    and the guy who i consider to be amongst the 5 best rappers of all time, the mighty immortal technique.

    'snort coke in the whip miss USA sucking my dick'

    Also a little jedi mind tricks for measure.

    And Diabolic is a fuckin' force behind the mic.

    outside of that I've reaaaalllly made a huge move to rock.

    Would love to catch any of these live.

  9. I don't think anyone's really represented fairly in GTA. What you have to remember is that the games are written to be funny, and exaggerating the aspects of someone's personality or a the perceived personality of a collective group is a damn easy, damn effective way to do this. It's not a bad thing at all, it's a bit of a nihilistic approach but I really don't think the people at R* are walking around saying shit like 'well yeah we don't really want to represent women' 'well we shouldn't have a guy whose Chinese and kills people cause they might get offended.' this level on nonchalance towards the potential of offending anyone is what has made GTA's writing so consistently good.

  10. The one question I always raise is why does whoever is president get paid 400 grand a year (or so)? Why do people from such economically strong backgrounds (Mitt Romney is fuckin' loaded) make up such a huge percentage of the running candidates? Why is this allowed to persist? If you want to make sure the little people are being looked out for, make the president a little person. Let him spend a month squirming over phone bills and food and petrol and tax and shit.

    @Americans - What did you guys think of Ron Paul? He seemed like his policies were spot-on and he had the vision of a modern day Reagan. He really changed the sweeping view I have of Republicans with his ruthless logic.

    Also lol defence. How would the fucking world police feel in China or Russia Had hundreds of military bases in hundreds of countries all over Earth? That ain't defence.

  11. 1 corrupt guy who is basically untouchable because he blatantly finances elections to protect his interests (money) calling out another guy led by corrupted guys protecting their interests (money) so he can seem like he isn't corrupt which is in his interests (because it ultimately makes him money).

    Fuck ever voting. 2 - party dictatorships are a part of western life that we're gullibly shepherded into from birth. Fuck ever entertaining their shit or dignifying it with a response.

    Your weapons are already in hand. If you are thinking, you are winning.
