Grand Theft Auto IV

[what]

A 360 or a PS3 would be better though since nothing has been confirmed for PC yet...

People don't play this game? ... Right ...

So you are saying people keep playing these games for the Graphics? hahahaha

well im sure for some people shooting cops and stealing cars doesnt get old.

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.

Nope it doesn't. ;)

With regards to the soundtrack that comes with the 'Special Edition':

Has a track listing been made available yet?

[Huleboeren]

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

Loved it. I can't wait for this game. :D

Awesome trailer with great music.

The cops look like they actually work in teams now (SWAT squads that are actually challenging). The cars looked like they had more weight as well which is much more realistic.

[iconboy]

one word: amazing. If i could i would reserve the special edition 2DAY

[acies]

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.

[Samboini]

As nice as this trailer looks I really hope it is Beta build :(

[Viper_Maniac]

Song is by New York City based band The Boggs and is titled "Arm In Arm (Shy Child Remix)"

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.

[FreqFace]

It looks ALOT better than San Andreas. ALOT.

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

Are you friggin serious!?

Forgot your glasses/contact lenses? :s

So many more details in GTAIV

[Umbrello]

Yeah compare that screenshot to the helicopter shot. Haha, there's no comparison.

LOL it's miles ahead of SA, I mean just look at this shot:

Man, that shot looks better evertime i see it.

[Xerus]

Yeah I mean I thought it was n64 graphics at first...

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

[acies]

Sure the Pc version of SA does look nicer, more draw distance, more AA ect... But again look at the helicopter picture, it still blows it out of the water imo.

Some people probably won't notice it till they actually start playing.

[Meshuggah]

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.

Spray painted on the wall, he was in the other game right??

He was on the loading screens for GTA3, nicely spotted! :p
