fatalgamer Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I highly dought it. If they were going to release it for the PC, would'nt they have already announced it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justhes Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 i think that they might do what the did for gta sa, because they waited for ever to get on pc, i want it for pc so bad because im not gonna go out and spend a lot of money just for a game.

That makes no sense, they usually announce the PC version a few months after the console versions are released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no sense, they usually announce the PC version a few months after the console versions are released. It makes perfect sense. So was the XBOX version with previous GTAs. Yet the both the XBOX 360 and PS3 versions are going to be released at the same time. Why not the PC version? Because it probably won't be made.

Xbox and PC versions were polished up, bugs fixed, etc. So they were delayed by a few months. PLus R8 will want to monitor the success of GTAIV before hastily releasing a PC version. It would cost them millions not to. "Hello, my name is dan houser, i could get loads more money, but i don' t want to, i enjoy reading how people are pissd off at R* for not releasing a PC version for potentially the biggest game of 2007/2008."

MishoM Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Even if it is released, its probably going to use Games For Windows and Microsoft will probably make you have Vista to play it. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really got why they put that banner there. And vista required? Maybe. Probably XP compatible too, though DX10 required (Which you can get in XP anyways.)

Chris Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 If they do then this delay is good. Means the PC release will be even later.. meaning more people by then will have powerful enough PCs to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Of course it will be made, and in my opinion, if they're releasing it late on the consoles, then there might not be that big a gap between console release and PC release! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's probably because it takes time to port something to PC from the Xbox 360 and PS3, which are very different in themselves in processor architecture. It's taking Rockstar long enough to do it on two systems, trying three at once would push the date back even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7.62mm Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 All of the GTA's since 3 have been on PC, I also if I am correct.. Gta 2 was even on PC wasn't it? I know it was on PS1 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_91 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Your wrong there 7.62mm, LCS or VCS wasn't on PC, but I am not sure whether it will come out on PC, befoer I thought it wouldn't but I am 50/50. The delay will give people more time to buy the appropriate console so Im not sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Yes, yes and yes. The reason VCS and LCS weren't on the PC is cause they are games for the PSP and that's it. But GTA IV is MASSIVE, therefore on the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM™ Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 By the time GTA IV is released on the PC, I will have a more powerful, faster computer with a better GFX card than I already have. All of the GTA's since 3 have been on PC, I also if I am correct.. Gta 2 was even on PC wasn't it? I know it was on PS1 too GTA2 I believe wasn't released for the PS1, only the Dreamcast.

Kitsune Inferno Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 No, GTA 2 was released on the PS1, as well as the PC and Dreamcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Um the game is on Blu Ray because its huge. How will computers read a Blu Ray disc if they don't have Blu Ray players? You cant put Blu Ray shit on one CD because there isn't enough space. A PC release wouldn't make sense. Why buy 10 CDs and install the game to your hard drive and waste 50 gigs of space? Blu Ray players for the PC probably cost a fortune if they exist yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus - 10 CD's = 7GB, Dual layer DVD's own that (methinks) Plus ESO (elder scrools oblivion) fits on a DVD so GTAIV will, ESO is a bigger map size that IV by far.

Ferret Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 A DVD wont hold GTA4 dude. How can a DVD hold 50 gigs? It cant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) Ferret, I think somewhere along the line you've been severly misinformed - let me clarify for you: GTAIV for PS3 and XBOX360 is going to be exactly the same (confirmed by Rockstar). Now The XBOX360 takes DVDs, which means although the PS3 version MAY be on a blu-ray disc, it will still only be the size of a DVD - ie upto 8GB. That means GTAIV will be upto 8GB, not 40GB. PC games are almost entirely on DVD now as well, which means that there is no issue with the game being released on PC in terms of disc or hard drive space, ok? So the PC version will take exactly the same space on DVD as on an XBOX360 DVD and exactly the same space on a PS3 Blu-Ray disc - upto 8GB. Oh and the only two reasons they didn't release LCS and VCS on PC was because they were a hype scam to get people to buy a PSP after poor projected sales for Sony and because they were inferior to the originals and would have looked terrible on a high resolution PC monitor.

Gycu Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) The game will probably be on 2 DVDs Perfect ... Now I have to wait longer for the PC version Ontopic: Yep ... But probably released October 2008 Edited August 6, 2007 by Gycu Brun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
