GTA IV for PC

[SynTerro]

 

Are the hitboxes big or realistic? and does it differ from peds/cops and yourself?

What are hitboxes? If you mean are the gunfights easy? Yes, they are. In one mission Niko is surrounded with a couple of guys. They aim and shoot at Niko while my friend tries to act. He's not that quick and takes his time, so it took like 30 second for 3 guys at close range. They hit Niko a couple of times. Ridiculous. On other hand, in free ride when surrounded by a couple of cops, you get wasted pretty quick, just not on missions. In another mission, you need to steal some van. You walk up to it, the guy gets out and he and his friend start shooting at Niko. Since all of this is going near the road, people hearing shots start driving like raving mad, one cab hits Niko he falls for like 5 second, falls under the cab, cab does some ugly sliding/twitching (best physics ever ) movement, Niko manages to get up (after some 30 seconds the whole incident started), my friend goes around the van, pulls out the gun, shoots and kills one guy then enters the van and drives off. DURING THIS AFFAIR HE DOESN'T GET SHOT ONCE. Once more, this is not on "easy" setting, it's just plain easy. Even worse, it's dumb.

Hitboxes are the boxes you actually need to hit to kill, these are often bigger than the modell itself, and I suspect they are bigger on console games.

My wallhack in CoD4 looked somwhat similar to this.

 

Two more days, with my (pointless and stupid) ban over, I bet the time'll go by a bit faster.

Any news about GTA IV ?

[bochen74656]

All major GTA releases have either started on the PC or found their way to the PC after the console release (the only exceptions being the PSP/PS2 Stories). This has proven to greatly extend the shelf lives of these games via community modding and other customizations that are not possible with the console versions.

 

So, will Rockstar continue the tried-and-true tradition of bringing GTA to the PC some months after the intial console release? Or will they overlook this market as a result of the hot coffee debacle or some other reason?

 

Passing on the PC version would effectively amputate a huge part of the fanbase and thereby greatly reduce the shelf life and continued sales of the game. I'd personally like to believe Rockstar are smart enough business people not to be throwing a valuable PC market away like that.

 

First poll

Instead we have a third rate poor sucky GTAIV game limited and capped

by the punny 6.5GB Xbox360 physical storage limitations and slow ass

PowerPC processor of the Xbox 360..... and the supreme irony and

hypocrisy of it all is MicroShaft seems to feel like the DLC

is doing us all a huge favor, whereas if it wasn't for the failure/glitch that

is the X360 we wouldn't NEED a DLC in the first place!!!!!

 

Absolutely REdiculous

 

And don't you forget the fact that if it wasn't for greedy publishers moving to the console platforms to score more Monnies

we'd have gotten GTAIV on PC and DEVELOPED FOR PCs so it would be so much better on a high end gaming PC instead of a kids toy called the xbox360... even PS3 is mere childs play compared to a REAL gaming machine LOL... And to think of it, if it had come out on PC we wouldn't have to hear the DVD9 scratch-scratch-scratch throughout the entire freaking game play and it would be faster too just cases it would be fetching data of a SATA drive instead of some crappy xbox360 DVD drive that burns up every few hours...

 

 

=======

 

 

Reminds me of all the "VISTA ONLY" games that when patched plays better with faster framerates under XP and directX9

Bill Gates must have an extreme "nice personold" complex or something... with all the "exclusivity" crap these days. So they bought out R* with that 50 mil. and the rest of us have to suffer and pay for it... Life is so unfair.. Just goes to show Business always gets into the way of fun... even for a company like R*,etc... What has the world come too?

 

 

 

Sick!

THIS is the reason why GTAIV wasn't made to its full potential..

yes. and.. what's your point?

[EpiQ7]

I repeat again.....rockstar gonna release it on october.they just not annouced it yet.what i worried now is the system requirement.

[commanderz]

how u so sure that R* really release october?...but i also agree that R* 90% will release the game in october 10% november -_-

[thastrogg]

what i worried now is the system requirement.

Minimum:

Intel Pentium 4 1.7Ghz

1 gb RAM xp/2 gb ram vista

6-12 gb HDD

128 mb video card

 

 

Recommend:

Intel Core 2 Duo

4 gigram vista/2gb ram xp

5-10 gb HDD

256mb video card

 

Thats what i think

5-10 gb HDD

Thats what i think

No game is even capable of using 3 GB RAM.

 

2 GB is enough.

 

Minimum:

 

CPU 2.8 GHz

1 GB RAM XP/1,5 GB RAM Vista

8-10GB HDD

256mb card

 

Recommended

 

Core2Duo

1,5GB RAM XP/2 GB Vista

8-10 GB HDD

512 mb card

 

That's it.

[ajay_vishvanathan]

well what do you think?

R* must produce even for pc users

but not in a really high and advanced system configuration

[Cdnalsi]

That would be awesome if Rockwhores would code the game so poorly that you'd need 4xSLi with 8Gb RAM to run it at ~25FPS

[ajay_vishvanathan]

i hate the xbox and the ps

the companies prefer the low markets of ps and xbox

leaving the biggest market of pc in the world

they r fools

they must first release it on pc then the boxes and stations

 

 

[Wis3boi]

 

I repeat again.....rockstar gonna release it on october.they just not annouced it yet.what i worried now is the system requirement.

i'll paste my response from a few dozen pages back on requirements.

 

 

My educated guess is the following:

 

Minimum (lower end settings):

 

CPU: Pentium 4 3ghz or so

RAM: 1gb

GPU: ATI x800/Nvidia 6800 or higher

OS: XP/Vista

 

Recommended (high quality settings):

 

CPU: Intel/AMD dual core 2ghz+

RAM: 2gb

GPU: ATI X1800 series/Nvidia 7800 series or higher

OS: XP/Vista

 

 

because the console GPUs are loosely similar to the ones I listed for Recommended, that's why I picked them...I also built my own PC, so I know my hardware

[MISTO]

Something that I saw on a french forum:

 

The game will be full HD

Version 1080p full ( 720 full HD on 360)

RAM: 4go minimum

80 to 120Go needed

 

[atthalos]

Ahhh... im out.... i lost my interest in the game... (totally)

October is just not for me...

[JackylByte]

You gotta remember that people who review games are just like the rest of us.

Can't be entirely true.

 

Remember that many of the GTA news sites never bring up anything at all......ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...about the PC version of GTA IV...until Rockstar tell them it is ok to do so.

 

I'm talking mainly about PlanetGTA.com, but you don't have to look very far to realize that many GTA sites are infected with this "we are Rockstar's bitch" attitude, and furthermore, this attitude sadly shows itself in reviews written by larger mainstream gaming sites as well.

 

Regarding info on the PC version: I'm sure it's just that they are piss-weak and sh*t-scared over losing their rights to the merchandising crap that Rockstar keeps sending them, but they could show a bit of initiative for once, and publicly question Rockstar's intentions (or lack thereof).

I would like to see GTA IV released for the pc as well. But I really hope you don't get it because don't want to have to play online with someone who is so bitter. If you don't like it don't play it. Rockstar did put alot of work into this game. It isn't perfect name one game that is. That being said I'll go before Isay something I regret. Stop Hating please

[Fnorg]

In two hours you'll be going "Why can't they release the game, I want it so bad1!1!!!". Sorry for being an asshole, but if you're gonna be changing your mind so often, don't bother posting. Wait until everything's clear. I know my situation: I want the game, but if it doesn't come, it won't be the end of the world.

[DML]

I wonder how many PC-version sales they will lose because they over hyped and under-developed GTA IV.

 

Come time for the PC version: After a half-year delay, public disappointment over what was expected and hyped for the console versions, lack of any additional content in the game, and no-doubt boasting the same price tag as other new PC games at the time, it is no f*cking wonder that the PC version won't sell as well as the console versions. We can expect the f*ck-ups who work at Take2, as well as the die-hard console fanboy f*ck-ups (console kiddies), to be bleating out their usual nonsensical rhino-sh*t when it comes time to comparing the console versions' sales figures to the PC version's.

 

People with brains know how well the game would sell on PC if it was released at the same time. What the original Sony contract did to the GTA series will continue in a vicious cycle, until such time as these contracts are scrapped, and the game is developed properly.

We don't hate R* developers. We love them for the great work they did.

 

We hate Whorestar's heads for sh*tting on us (pc players) for their wallet.

Damn Dude... Rockstar LOST something big this time. I wonder what will happen... Dunno whether they will close down the company and stop working on the PC version of GTA 4 because you dont want it. Shame...

 

I say it will have been released in fall 2008. And i dont say any more system req's, i say an average PC would run it on medium settings at a decent speed.

 

EDIT: 400th page! WEWT!

[Illousion]

Page 400! n1!

 

 

[sammclean23]

btw...to the person who said the 8800 is nivida's best card...the geforce are not the only cards available and grpahics cards (nvidias) can cost up to thousands for 'nvidia quadro' and 'nvidia tesla' etc..

 

just thought id state this..oh and to finish...for the price grahpics cards (high end) cost...it is a fact they will out perform any console that is and will be made

 

if people dont believe the bit about '£thousands' gon on nvidias site

well the quadros won't play games at all, or very well. Nvidia's best offering is the 9800 GX2, which is like 4 or 5 consoles together.

exaclty...so even a less powerful card still mathes and betters consoles
