MrLlamaLlama Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 DeAtH, read some articles, 8800gt has better or equal performance than 9600 google 8800GT vs 9600GT, you'll find some interesting debates about this topic... In any case, the 9600 is cheaper. But yeah, Fahran, i think you'll be able to run IV nicely. Medium probably, maybe a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gycu Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) lol guys the 8800 GT for $150!?!. I would so own that card by now, unfortunately where I live is $250-$300 ( overclocked ) , and these are the lowest prices, went to other stores, in there it's almost $400. When do you guys think R* will release the official system requirements? It should happen before the release of the game right? We must know ASAP.

chris82 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 How many people said it wouldn't come to PC? Hurr... Also since it's coming on Steam it will be easily accessible, but hopefully we can pre-load content like Valve does. It's also looking to be released around the same time Saints Row 2 is for all three platforms (though I think they are bluffing about the PC version), so it's going to be another good year for games.

rockstarrem Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Where does it say it's coming out on Steam? I'm not doubting it but did it say that somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Rockstar has a contract with them dawg, why do you think every game Rockstar has ever made for PC except lemmings was released on Steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I asked this question to R* when I was in New York (about IV being released on Steam). I may have mentioned this in the TGTAP feature article but I'm not sure so I'll say it again here. The response I got was along the lines of "well I'm not sure, but seeing as how we've got the whole series now on Steam it's likely we will release GTA IV that way too". Only thing is we have no idea if they'll immediately release it this way or perhaps wait a couple of weeks/months? Wouldn't have thought they would because there's no point - just a possibility I suppose. @Gycu: They're usually "leaked" out. SA was anyway because we were the first site to get hold of them (yay first for once!) and they turned out to be legit. I'll have a quick look to see when that was in relation to the release date. EDIT: Whenever websites receive preview copies of the game. Which I'm guessing is gonna be in the next couple of months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I think there should be a Bioshock style release. Steam account holders could download, register the game, and it would be unlocked the very minute the game is officially released. Also would be win for Eurofags, not having to wait the 3 extra days.

Pandora Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Am I the only who doesn't really adore Steam? I love Steam because I don't need to insert the CD, but on the other hand I just like having the box of the game on the shelf. Somehow.. Other then that, it sometimes just won't start up my game. I'll be waiting and waiting and waiting.. but nothing will hapen. That's like once every 5 times, which is just to often actually. Though it's better now then it used to be, it still has quite some problems here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'll probably buy the box version simply because I can't be arsed to download 6.5GB. And boxes do look quite good on my games shelf. But Steam is pretty awesome though, never any discs to worry about etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yeah, i find it won't start a few of my games, but as a way to chat ingame, and buy exclusive games, you couldn't ask for more. I'll undoubtedly buy it off the shelf, going in on Tuesday to pre-order, and my Bro's picking it up come November. My DL speed is shit inconsistent, so by the time it's DL'd, i could have made my way to the store and back, with solely the use of wind power.

Shortbus Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Steam is convenient, but it's a steaming pile of shit usually(Shitty steam overlay, myspace Jr. community, lots of account stealers). If GTA4 is available on steam, I'd get it on steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If GTA4 is available on steam, I'd get it on steam. HURR DURR Also the overlay and community are both optional, you can disable the overlay and turn off friends if you don't like it. Oh and since it's also going to be using Games for Windows Live you can use your Xbox Live Gold account with it which potentially means the downloadable content will be on PC as well.

Though it's better now then it used to be, it still has quite some problems here and there. Exactly! Steam is very convienent but I just love having a box case. Same goes with music on my iPod, I need to see the album cover when I play my iPod. A.K.A. I buy off of iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 This is going off topic but you do realise you don't have to buy off itunes just to see album artwork. You can simply right click any song and "Get Album Artwork". Or if there is none just add it manually by dragging an image into the artwork space.

Shortbus Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) I'm not retarded (However retarded my name implies! ) enough to lose my account, but thousands of people are. I like friends, but I liked the old friend's list much better. All it was, was when you're in a game, press escape, and click the "Freinds" button. Steam has done the same thing with the overlay, just made it a hell of a lot laggier. Is there a way to turn the overlay off and use the old friend's list? I can't seem to find a setting to do so.

GTA Don Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hell yeah. Though I recommend you buy Corsair for your RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yeah of course you can. I would also recommend Corsair for RAM but it's not necessary. Would all of you wondering whether or not your PC will run GTA IV well please now use this dedicated topic as it would be a lot more sensible to keep it all in one place. Thanks. You can continue normal discussion of the PC announcement here of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
