PRESS RELEASE: Rockstar Games Announces Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC

New York, NY – August 6, 2008 – Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto IV will be arriving on the PC on November 18th and 21st in North America and Europe, respectively.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North and set in Liberty City, the latest installment in the enormously successful Grand Theft Auto series features a painstakingly detailed and life-like city for players to explore; a rich, immersive narrative experience; an original soundtrack highlighting the cultural eclecticism of Liberty City; and newly expanded multiplayer just for the PC.


Wonder if they're keeping the server hosting to themselves ...again ?

Might just be worth the first game i own on 360 and the PC!!!

[CurriedCat]

Must pull my finger out my arse and finish this on the 360 or swap it for something else and get it on the PC!

[[SCUM] Speedy]

Well I always used to get it on the PC but I don't see the point this time. Other than the cool car mods. And the physics exploits. And probably planes. And tanks. Screw it, I'm getting it on PC

[CurriedCat]

I just want it on the PC for the non-vaseline smeared hires visuals. It looks better at SD on my telly than at HD!

[[SCUM] OUTLAW]

GTA IV for PC looks stunning, has more features than on the consoles

It has been revealed that GTA IV on the PC will feature more multiplayer features, improved graphics and more impressively a replay and montage editor. Not only does it look better than on the consoles but as mentioned new features include ability to search for more advanced matches online and 2560x1600 will be the maximum resolution for the game. Judge how brilliant the game looks from the newly released screens below...

The overall game will follow the same story as the console version, tracking protagonist Niko Bellic as he descends further into Liberty City's underworld. The nice thing about the PC version is the game will constantly be recording what's going on. So if you pull off a particularly epic car crash or string of kills, you can hit a key to get the game to pull up the last 30 seconds of gameplay either in single or multiplayer modes.

From there it's possible to edit the footage, adding filters, and fades and cut it up wherever you want. You can then take those videos and mash them together in the montage editor, then upload it to the Rockstar Social Club so the community can check it out.

Beyond that, Rockstar mentioned that there'll be better search options for matches online. So if you wanted to find servers where players were only using certain weapon types, you could set a filter for it. As far as improved visuals go, the company said 2560 x 1600 would be the maximum resolution. We'll have to wait to see how well the rest of the graphical package fares in the transition, as the build we were shown still had some rough spots.

HMMMM...maybe worth a second look !?

Rockstar has revealed the first details of the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV.

The game was shown off at the Leipzig Games Convention today by PR man Steve Hahnel. He began by promising much improved visuals, saying they'll be "polished well beyond what they were on the 360 and PS3".

New features will include a replay editor. Whenever you're playing the previous 30 seconds of gameplay will be recorded, so at any time you can stop and watch what you just did. You can also edit footage - chop it up, add filters, switch camera angles and so on.

There will also be a montage editor that lets you link together multiple 30-second clips. You'll be able to share the movies you make via the internet and the Rockstar Social Club.

Hahnel also hinted there are plans to add new multiplayer options. Noting there is online play for up to 16 players in the console versions of GTA IV he added, "We're expanding on that" - but didn't offer any further details.

However, Hahnel did say there will be new filters so you can have more control over the type of matches and races you take part in. If you just want to play with pistols, for example, that will possible. The whole idea is to make it easier to find exactly what you're looking for.

The rest of the demo consisted of a playthrough of the Three-Leaf Clover mission seen in the console game. This was played using an Xbox 360 controller, and Hahnel confirmed you'll be able to choose this or the traditional keyboard option in the finished game.

The visuals do indeed look more polished - lighting is more realistic and there's a much higher level of detail on both characters and environments. Movement animations are smoother but could still do with a bit of work; Nico runs down stairs like he's got a wonky ankle. Still, as Hahnel was careful to point out, GTA IV is still "a work in progress" and there's "a lot of polishing and cleaning" to do before the game is released on November 24th.
