UPDATE – GTA IV PC version – out now

Buy: GTA 4 for the PC from Amazon.com

Original article: One eagle-eyed reader of our blog a release date for GTA 4 for pc has been spotted in the manual of the Xbox 360 version of GTAIV. Apparently on 13th December 2008 Niko and Roman will be finding a place on your Windows start menu just in time for the Christmas. No details on what additional GTA4 PC version features will be included, if it will be a Vista-only release or what minimum hardware will be required – but best put in a word to Santa for the latest Alienware hardware just in case.

    Hi, I've been studing the GTA IV PC problem. The XBox 360 GTA IV version is remarkably close to the programming for the PC.
    I SAY TO YOU ROCKSTAR if a copy for the PC is not released, a Xbox 360 emultion of the game will be (if not already) released for the PC, and be free to download on any PUBLIC DOMAIN TORRENT!!!!
    Heheheheheehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    didn't ign have an interview with someone about its release date? Im sorry but its gonna be a much better game on pc whenever it comes out we've got mice! Also lets just hope that them bringing it out later means that there will be more. Aparently IV doesn't have all the like upgrades you could get like say if you ride a bike for so long you could bunny hop higher they dont even have bikes... i think that was one of the winning features of GTA San Andreas because even when you'd completed the missions you still had something else to do. It's a shame tbh, but im sure other elements of the game other than the graphics will be better. Toooo long though to wait its just stupid. It's like spore... they announced it 2006 or something for 2007 april or even 2005 for 2006 april and then it didnt come out so they said autumn then they said spring again... now they say autumn? I mean this is good on the graphics front, that the graphics won't be 2005, 2006 graphics but the gaming industries becoming a joke! Good thing steam is around to fulfill my gaming needs.

    You people are all like PC's are gonna have to be awesome to play GTA IV ...
    If so then tell me how come Crysis was only out for PC?Why? Becos it's the only platform strong enough to support it,therefor if u can play GTA IV on ps3 and 360,u won't need nothing more than a 3 years old comp to run it on...
  4. On May 21, 2008 idiots said: -
    y cant u people just be patient? it will eventually come out, so just wait. but if you really do want it for your pc soon i would actually think going on a strike would be a good idea, for example ' flood rocktar and its affiliates with e-mails.' as snoop said....i mite actually try that...

    I seriously doubt that they will wait seven month before releasing it on PC, I will NEVER buy a PS3 or a 360 just to play one game.

    I really hope they could move their ass'es and get going with a PC version.
    Normally I download all of my games but this is (for sure) one game I will spend my money on, and go but it in the stores.

    It is, without a doubt going to be the best game of all times, and damn I'm glad i just bought a new monster PC, I will be running GTA IV just fine on my machine.
    I just cant wait to turn on all the graphics to the max, go straight towards the first car i see, pull the guy out and beat the living crap out of him!

    PLEASE ROCKSTAR, I promish I will never ever sexually assault my mother again, if you would just release the god damn game on PC :(

    (btw the thing with sexually assaulting my mother was a joke... IM STILL GONNA DO IT!)

    @Fuzzysixx
    Yeah you will be able to play the game, i doubt you will be able to turn on all the eyecandy, but on a decent Medium GTA IV will run just fine on your machine.

    i hope gta 4 will never be released on pc

    PC users are a large portion of rockstars market and they can't afford not to make a PC version as the game was originally developed on a PC to begin with using Vista.

    Xbox is more PC than console so chill guys if its on the XBOX then it should be on the PC unless for some strange reason Rockstar are inbed with both console manufacturers and the PC has been given divorce papers ?

    Its all to do with $$$$$ and Rockstar is in the money business so chill it will arrive at least with better graphics, less bugs, glitches and faster internet/lan play WOOOT ! (maybe the potential for future mods, vehicles and add ons)

    Tommie vercettie is back in town guys , but not on my PC!!! that's a shame , for the game !!! Ha! got it ,shame -game ,ok leave it. But according to a friend of mine gta 4 is gonna be realeased in less than 5 months , maybe 4. but please can anyone tell me if there is any xbox 360 emulators like those for ps2s :(
  13. On May 24, 2008 Martin said: -
    @the game 01

    I seriously doubt there are any existing emulators for the XBOX360, a really really good computer can hardly handle the PS2 emulator so i doubt it can handle an XBOX360 emulator.

    Why bother anyway?

    Like "Toni "the Money" Moni" says, its gonna be released to PC with less bugs glitches etc.. perhaps a few add on's too :)

    Orh! But I understand you guys, I cant wait either, maybe if rockstar had given us a date of the release, but they havent, and thats the worst kind of waiting, its like waiting for someone but you dont know the estimated time of arrival. Pitty :(

    @bhagyesh Luckely, i got a 8800Geforce, no thats not right, i got 2 :D
    becides that an Intel Quad Core running at 3.6ghz with liquid cooling and 4Gigs of ram, i think i will be able to max out the settings :) dont you?

    Cheers

    I heard a rumour of an august release date and I think this logical as many of games come out within 3 to 4 months of the console release date
  16. On May 26, 2008 nithesh said: -
    hi guys! I've played almost all the gta games on pc till gta san andreas. So do you ppl really think they'l release it 4 the pc??? I mean liberty city stories and vice city stories nvr made it to the pc!!!! Besides rockstar has no intention to announce the release date 4 pc. That's a shame!!!
  17. On May 26, 2008 zekkerjah said: -
    nithesh: The thing is that both 'stories' editions for the PSP were spinoffs from the original Vice City and GTAIII which, in turn existed before PSP. I'd say that its naive to think that if a company doesn't announce a release date, a product won't show up. Its simple - if they announce it on the last moment, the hype generated around the game will increase its sales substantially.

    Man i bet this is gonna be the best game ever released (for pc for sure). BUT STILL I CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER 7 MONTHS. MAKE ROCKSTAR RELEASE IT QUICKER. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ANOTHER 7 MONTHS TO GO
  19. On May 26, 2008 Morten said: -
    The Stories, was plain ****. That's why they didn't bother releasing it for PCs!
  20. On May 28, 2008 Ivan said: -
    Its' all about marketing and promotion. This "omerta" about PC release is another trick to put extra money in MS and SONY safes'.
    In my opinion, GTA 4 will come out for PC in autumn 2008. PC release was delayed because MS T2 R* and SONY have some contract standing for "temporary exclusive" console release. GTA VCS and GTA LCS were developed because of special order of SONY corporation. Their unique console release can't influence on GTA4 PC release.

    loooool first thing 5500?? is it still exsists? lool better have a comodor instead of a 5500. you wish you can play gta 3 on it and can have gta san andreas wallpaper but still with lag and forget to play san andreas on it. and for sure forgett gta iv you wont even play her song on your pc cause it will be too gaddame lagggy.

    i played it on xbox 360 and finished it for 5 times now. its tooo bored. graphics on gamespot.com are so beautifull but in the game are little better then san andreas. so limited guns so limited cars so limited people so limited boats so limited heli's inffect 2 heli's only and around 20 cars tops. i played it and when i had 2 hours of gameplay i fad up and came so bored i prefer runescape from miniclip.com instead of this **** game gta iv


    **** you all rockstar gaymers and you people **** you little godddam bithes
  25. On June 1, 2008 MRNONAME said: -
    I heard that it will not be ported to PC because currently NO systems can support it. This is what I heard, just a myth guys, and I hope it comes out for PC cuz I am a PC and PS2 gamer. (no next-gen,too expensive)
  26. On June 1, 2008 Loko said: -
    Well..last time i bought a game it ended up crashing my PC cuz it couldnt take it, then i got even more angry and broke the old ****, Anyhow my new specs are:

    If GTA IV sells bucket loads in 2008 then I think Rockstar will def get a PC version out by dec.

    Looks like you'll have to kill yourself there Loko, most likely need double the ram and sli with another 7900

    I think ill be safe though

    2x 8800GTX in SLi
    2x2gig + 2x1gig Crucial Ballistix RAM
    3.4Gig Dual Core AMD Athlon AM2 Black Edition
    Crosshair Mobo

    Everything Watercooled, built it myself :D

    No if the f**king game can hurry up and get released that would be great!

    Do Not Worry PPL, Definitly there will be a PC Version ... Its only a matter of time ... Personally, I can wait for December may be the Next June too ... [Patience is a Bless !], As Some Guy Said Earlier [Stu] - R* are forgetting who they owe their success to !
    ----------------------------
    n For those GeForce 5 Series Owners, 5200 n 5500 were F***** Gladiators, But that was 4 or 5 Yrs ago !!
    Im sorry to tell U that 5 n 6 Series are totally out of the list,
    the minimum will be 7 Series [late 7s], for Memory Bandwidth and Pixel Shader [ver 3] Purposes
    ----------------------------
    I agree with the GTA PCers Strike, Just let me know If U R serious bout that !
    ----------------------------
    n For those Consolers ...
    Just Don get me started on the Console Vs PC Argument
    Don Tell Me PSs, XBoXs or Even Stupid Wiis
    All Consoles are No Match for PCs [Specially Gaming PCs .... XPSs, Dellienwares],
    30 or 40 Yrs Later - Just try to keep up with the count of the PSs released [PS-11, PS-12, PS-13 ..... PS n] :D:D:D

    The Only way Consoles Could have a Single Chance to Withstand PCs, [I shldnt be Disclosing this to consolers ... Competitive Advantage, U Know :)],
    is when they allow U Consolers to Upgrade the hardware of the
    Console - like upgrading the stock Video Card for an all New 9 Series GeForcer or an A** kicking ATI

    n I Dont think their "Console-Directed" Minds would think about this !!

    Like the Old Say Goes .... Consoles Rise and Fall, PCs Stands Strong
    ----------------------------
    If U Didnt already Notice, Im a 101 % PC Gamer [No Console S**t], n Im starting to Doubt the Ability of My XPS [M1710] to run GTA IV All Maxed Smoothly :s
    Viva PC Gaming ... The Bad Guy

    i want to play GTA IV on my pc!!

    Guys all games are made on PC. So the first release is on PC and then they make the versions of PS3 and XBOX 360 so they can sell miliions of copies and when they have sell as much as they want they realese the pc version in which propably they won't sell anything. ( i have seen a video with someone of rockstar games playing gta iv on pc at an interview.
  37. On June 3, 2008 Joey Bishop said: -
    The reason R* wont release it on the PC early is because all of you idiots will pirate it, so they have to make their money somehow.

    Enjoy ruining the PC gaming industry.
