Looking at the trailers I'd guess the MINIMUM requirements would be something like this:

CPU: P4, Athlon XP

VGA: Gefore 5900XT (SM2.0?), Geforce 6200 (SM3.0?)

RAM: 512MB

You'd of course need a really fast system to run it at the highest settings, but this would probably be the minimum for the lowest settings.

That looks about right except I would think the vid card and proc minimum requirements might be alittle higher than that. Thats just me though.

well im sure for some people shooting cops and stealing cars doesn't get old.

Nope it doesn't. ;)

I thought it looked awesome.

GTA3 had cartoonish graphics just like SaintsRow

GTA4 looks more gritty - I like it..

And hanging from helicopters/trucks/X - those were not animations. It's Euphoria..

Pretty cool examples of the possibilites with this cross physics animations engine on youtube

i also remembered reading that you could open the trucks of cars, and so am guessing it's to store weapons. And I if remember correctly you can't hold more weapon than you can carry:

PS: anyone know the song in the trailer, I swear I have heard it before.

That would suck a lot for me. My CPU is an Athlon X2 3800+ (939), so I can't get a better one.

By the time the game gets released, I'll get a 400 bucks graphics card, but the CPU... sigh.

Oh I know what you mean. My specs are in my sig. I really need to upgrade my ram. I've been running that 512MB for too long.

Well iam guessing it is an early beta.. but what's wrong with it??

Looking at the trailer it just doesn't feel 'next-gen'. Personally i'm not overly bothered by the graphics as the game play will be great, that's a given, but it would be a nice bonus if it was aesthetically pleasing on the eyes; atm it doesn't look too many steps ahead of SA.

Don't worry, by the time it's out on pc - you will already have upgraded :p looooong time

Maybe I'm biased since I played the PC version and not the xbox/ps2 version.

I own all the GTA games now for xbox, but back in my PC-pirating days, I played them on PC. I enjoyed the hell out of them, but I loaded up San Andreas a few days ago on the 360.

It looks like utter ass, lol. So yeah, GTA IV looks INSANELY better than that, but if you played it on PC it rocked. You are right though, even still, this new engine is a hell of a lot better than their last engine, even on the PC. That said though, I'm sure the PC version of GTA IV will look even better.

If its a Games for Windows game, I'll purchase it again when it comes out.

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. Look it up and keep it. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
