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.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
