It's not official yet, but very likely. Just read what the people at rockstarscammer did to get an update on the current situation of GTA IV for the PC.

This is the result:

A reply from tech support:

Hello,

Rockstar and 2K Games are both parts of Take Two Interactive, you have corrected the right company.

The PC version of GTA IV has not even been announced for release and is still in development so is not about to be released on a website we have no knowledge of. Have you got another version of GTA? There are other versions that are available on-line, the list are below, could it be one?

GTA

GTA 2

GTA 3

GTA Vice City

GTA San Andreas

If it's not one of these and it is (somehow) a PC version of GTA IV, you can see why we would like to know the website address

Kind Regards

2K (And Rockstar) Games Tech Support

Hopefully it won't take long before we get an official announcement.

I wonder how long it'd take to get done given the process of going from the 360 to the PC should be alot more easy than it was in previous gens where they went PS2 to Xbox + PC. Still alot of work to do no doubt and testing that will need to go into it but so it won't be an over night job. If they began work when they shipped the originals it wouldn't surprise me if they make an E3 announcement regarding a November - December release.

I'd consider getting it too...much prefer the controls for the PC versions. Sure I loose the analogue steering for the vehicles but I'm sure I can have a 360 remote connected to my PC sitting on my lap for those times.

All the assets are relatively simple to move over, its just porting the engine and fixing it up for the PC release.

It is most likely coming to PC as all the others did but I would take that article with a grain of salt because it is a blog after all. When it does come to PC I will definitely pick it up even though I have it for 360 because of the mod community and I prefer PC to console.

I am pretty sure its gonna come on PC at some point. Rockstar would have to be really foolish to not to port this for PC.

Anyway, I hope they do a good job of porting it to the PC and the game engine is properly optimised so it looks decent at playable framerates on my 8600GT.

I really hate the delayed release for PC that every game seems to have, but I'm still glad this (might?) be coming out. Neither the PS3 nor 360 could play this game at a consistent framerate, so I'd imagine the requirements will be outragous. Still, it won't be anything my computer can't handle.

Mouselook will be a welcome inclusion, for me. Having played all the past GTA games on PC only, it felt weird to be playing with a gamepad and auto lock-on. Don't get me wrong though, I was actually quite pleased with just how well the control scheme worked on the 360 controller. I just enjoy being able to manually aim with ease and accuracy.

It comes out later for the PC because Rockstar isn't stupid, they know they can make a lot more money on console than on the PC because of pirating. Never has a GTA PC release ever even had a CD-KEY. They know not to even bother with one. They let the console sales die down, then release it for the PC just so that the couple of non-pirates will give them a little more profit.

I never saw the big deal about hot coffee. First of all you had to go out of your way to mod the game to get it to work, and you can run around and shhot people and all kinds of violent things, but OMG SEX???!!!!

i'm not surprised about this tbh. But I'm getting frustrated at the companies that makes all the games "console only" and then release the game for PC years later.

The only reliable company is DICE. Only disappointment is Bad Company.

Anyway I think GTA IV will keep me occupied for several hours when it comes to PC:D

      How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.

      This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount

      GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse). GEEKOM X16 Pro at GEEKOM U.S. for $1,119.67 was $1,349 (17% off) Use coupon code NWGBX1617 when checking out. This flash deal expires on July 2.
