Grand Theft Auto IV


Recommended Posts

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

pretty photo realistic helicopter, or what!!:

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.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
