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.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By grunger106 · Posted

      The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.

      Hmm actually looks decently interesting!  
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
