It's not official yet, but very likely. Just read what the people at rockstarscammer did to get an update on the current situation of GTA IV for the PC.

This is the result:

A reply from tech support:

Hello,

Rockstar and 2K Games are both parts of Take Two Interactive, you have corrected the right company.

The PC version of GTA IV has not even been announced for release and is still in development so is not about to be released on a website we have no knowledge of. Have you got another version of GTA? There are other versions that are available on-line, the list are below, could it be one?

GTA

GTA 2

GTA 3

GTA Vice City

GTA San Andreas

If it's not one of these and it is (somehow) a PC version of GTA IV, you can see why we would like to know the website address

Kind Regards

2K (And Rockstar) Games Tech Support

Hopefully it won't take long before we get an official announcement.

I wonder how long it'd take to get done given the process of going from the 360 to the PC should be alot more easy than it was in previous gens where they went PS2 to Xbox + PC. Still alot of work to do no doubt and testing that will need to go into it but so it won't be an over night job. If they began work when they shipped the originals it wouldn't surprise me if they make an E3 announcement regarding a November - December release.

I'd consider getting it too...much prefer the controls for the PC versions. Sure I loose the analogue steering for the vehicles but I'm sure I can have a 360 remote connected to my PC sitting on my lap for those times.

All the assets are relatively simple to move over, its just porting the engine and fixing it up for the PC release.

It is most likely coming to PC as all the others did but I would take that article with a grain of salt because it is a blog after all. When it does come to PC I will definitely pick it up even though I have it for 360 because of the mod community and I prefer PC to console.

I am pretty sure its gonna come on PC at some point. Rockstar would have to be really foolish to not to port this for PC.

Anyway, I hope they do a good job of porting it to the PC and the game engine is properly optimised so it looks decent at playable framerates on my 8600GT.

I really hate the delayed release for PC that every game seems to have, but I'm still glad this (might?) be coming out. Neither the PS3 nor 360 could play this game at a consistent framerate, so I'd imagine the requirements will be outragous. Still, it won't be anything my computer can't handle.

Mouselook will be a welcome inclusion, for me. Having played all the past GTA games on PC only, it felt weird to be playing with a gamepad and auto lock-on. Don't get me wrong though, I was actually quite pleased with just how well the control scheme worked on the 360 controller. I just enjoy being able to manually aim with ease and accuracy.

It comes out later for the PC because Rockstar isn't stupid, they know they can make a lot more money on console than on the PC because of pirating. Never has a GTA PC release ever even had a CD-KEY. They know not to even bother with one. They let the console sales die down, then release it for the PC just so that the couple of non-pirates will give them a little more profit.

I never saw the big deal about hot coffee. First of all you had to go out of your way to mod the game to get it to work, and you can run around and shhot people and all kinds of violent things, but OMG SEX???!!!!

i'm not surprised about this tbh. But I'm getting frustrated at the companies that makes all the games "console only" and then release the game for PC years later.

The only reliable company is DICE. Only disappointment is Bad Company.

Anyway I think GTA IV will keep me occupied for several hours when it comes to PC:D

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
