Spider-Vice 24 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Take 2 announced through their email newsletter that GTA IV will indeed be released on the PC. No release date is currently set. Here is a quote from Sam Houser:"We are very excited to be releasing the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "The whole team is dedicated to bringing an amazing gaming experience to the PC. The game looks and plays beautifully on PC and we can't wait for people to play it." The only new "feature" we know of right now is that the PC version will have expanded multiplayer, which is pretty exciting in my opinion. Stay tuned to The GTA Place for the latest GTA IV news! WOOT! Okay, I'm upgrading my PC faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thomas. 21 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 I probably won't be buying a PC version however, if I get a new computer (All my games run on the laptop) I may get it but I'm not sure right now. All my computers/laptops are too crap to run this game probably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scott. 15 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Its lucky for me, because its really near my birthday so I might just ask for a RAM upgrade, One of those portable hard drives and GTAIV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just attached a new keyboard onto the Lappy, controls are no problem for me and besides Laptop keyboards are usually smaller than the normal ones that you buy at shops. I am used to smaller keyboards with small keys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris 245 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 Just buy an adapter for your old PS2 controller. PS2 controllers are the best for playing GTA games on the PC. Been using it to play them since GTA3 PC parts manufacturers are gonna love this news though. Think of all the people who must be upgrading their computers now. Everyone wanting Vista and a new graphics card so they can see the benefits of DX10. Everyone getting more RAM. Glad I upgraded last year, will almost certainly pay off. 2.4GHz Core2Duo, 4GB RAM, 8800GTS 320MB, I can't wait for this. Will be pre-ordering as soon as it's available online somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris 245 Report post Posted August 6, 2008 I'd double the amount of RAM there if you can afford it. Just to be sure. 2GB isn't that much these days, it's enough, but you know, this is GTAIV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
