has the PS3 version leaked? if so any idea on filesize compared to 360?

[cesc]

GTA4 has been leaked :) Great news but those who dont have a 360 would like to know a bit about the game. Is it good? Is it better than SA? Little details etc.

PLEASE do not post any links to the leak seeing as Neowin will close the thread and those who are intrested in details about the game will have their fun ruined.

PS: If you say something about the plot use the

theres no point in leaking the PS3 version seeing as the PS3's protection hasnt been cracked yet.

Because Rockstar/Take 2 is one of the few great developers left, and because they've put so much effort into making GTA4 which seems like its going to be GOTY tbh, if not one of the best games ever made (pure personal speculation) I don't support downloading this at all. Spend some goddamn money on it and show your support for a great dev and a great game.

The leaked version is a PAL version.

I dont agree that this is the correct thread to talk about if piracy is correct or not. Lets just stick to some screenshots, details about the game, gameplay, etc. Leave the pro/antipiracy for another thread please :)

But the thread is about the game being pirated is it not?

In case anyone's thinking of downloading this, keep in mind that a few weeks after Halo 3, the Orange Box and COD4 were "leaked", Microsoft went on a HUGE banning spree.

If you're playing the game a week before release, you're going to pop up on Microsoft's RADAR for sure, not to mention that all 3 of the above mention leaks were NOT done properly and thus easily detectable by Microsoft anyway, you can be certain the GTA4 leak is the same (Hell, it's probably been leaked by MS themselves so they can get anyone tempted to try 2008's biggest game a bit early).

Will it ever be available for PC ? if so... when will it be ?

tks.

[Mike]

if the monday delivery contract is true, Game sure are preparing early as my copy is classed as picked + packaged and awaiting shipping and i have been charged for it so lets hope they ignore the monday delivery :p

No, its a discussion about this game which has been leaked.

Please stop. You are going to ruin it for the ones that want to know about the game.

tks.

Nothing official has been announced but next year you will problably see GTA4 on your PC :)

MS can't really ban for playing early.

The game is available to buy in some french/german shops it's reported, and there's even people in the UK selling it on ebay.

It'll be frustrating for them, as they'll see an unrealistic spike in people playing, but if they ban, they'll take out innocent people as well.

Halo 3 caused bans due to the first leak being by an everyday person who ripped the game incorrectly. Orange Box was also ripped incorrectly. I dunno about COD4.

From the title I just assumed the game had been sold from a retailer a week early. The chances the anyone who picked the game up and who post on Neowin must be slim.

[Japlabot]

enough piracy talk, what about the game itself!!!!!

[Coldgunner]

Shame on anyone to pirate this, as R* deserve every bit of credit coming to them, T2 will probably take most of the profit so please support R* and buy the game!

I'm pretty certain the only stores that would sell early are the mom and pop kind of set ups. there are heavy fines for breaking street dates.
