GTA IV: PC Release Date
Guess what, GTA IV is coming to pc. Who had expected that!? It will be released on the 18th of November for the US, and on the 21th of November for Europe. I hope the pre ordering can begin soon, and I’m curious what the Collectors Edition will be.(I know it’s not really Tech News, but we don’t really have a good category for this)
Here the article from Eurogamer:
Grand Theft Auto IV will be released for PC on 21st November in Europe, Rockstar announced today.
Pleasantly, that’s just a few days after the PC version arrives in North America on 18th November.
Rockstar founder Sam Houser says it “looks and plays beautifully on PC and we can’t wait for people to play it”.
A PC version of the game has been rumoured since before the PS3 and 360 versions were even released, but Rockstar has never previously confirmed it.
The most telling sighting was a rating on the ESRB website, although that was removed a few hours later.
GTA IV came out worldwide on 29th April and Rockstar said in early June that it had sold 8.5 million copies.
The game charts the course of hero Niko Bellic as he arrives in Liberty City – a caricature of New York – and has to embark on a life of crime to get his cousin and himself out of trouble.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT OMG PREORDERING!
pc req’s are not yet published. But I hope pre ordering will launch soon:)
I have this for the ps3, and really, it’s bad. Worth a try for free I guess. :p
It’s nothing compared to gta3/vice city imo.
sweet but which pc system would be recommended to play with low graphic options?
yuhuooooooooooooooo..yeah babe!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES im so happy i was So — near to buy an 360 because of gta 4 but now i will just wait to get it to pc 1080p lcd + FULL graphic and mouse\keyboard is the thing.
Grand.Theft.Auto.IV-RELOADED torrent & rapidshare on “scn src.net” (remove space). Try it!!
YESSSSS i am so hyped!
i wonder how powerful your pc has to be to play this game…
i only played this game for like 2-3 days, it got boring real quick
someone want and try to bet which may be the requirements?
here’s a guess:
CPU: Intel P4 2Ghz or AMD equivalent (3GHz dual core reccomended)
RAM: 512MB (1 GB rec)
Video Card: 6800GT (256mb) or ATI/AMD Radeon 9800 Pro (256mb) (ATI X….. 512 rec)
HDD Space: 16GB
OS: Microsoft Windows [XP and Vista I imagine]
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
@22 I agree, all the fun has gone from the game.
Looks like I upgraded just in time. Perhaps selling my 360 now.
awesome news
look forward to this, hopefully will have a new machine so i can finally play some of the latest games by then
Im waiting like a hiena for January there will be major price drops and i can get a decent rig for 600 euros.
offtopic
guess what, SPACE_BANDITS did get the copy of a pre-made GTA IV for PC.
Here it goes:
Grand.Theft.Auto.IV-SPACE_BANDITS-NOFX on emule. Try it! It’s Real!
SPACE_BANDITS did they job well too, they put the requirements on their NFO.
CPU: Intel P4 2Ghz or AMD equivalent (3GHz dual core reccomended)
RAM: 512MB (1 GB rec)
Video Card: 6800GT (256mb) or ATI/AMD Radeon 9800 Pro (256mb) (ATI X….. 512 rec)
HDD Space: 16GB
OS: Microsoft Windows [XP and Vista I imagine]
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
They better put it up on Steam like all the rest.
I hope the requirements will be not much higher than this in message 32
Freaking sweet !!!!!
@34
yes, but bad luck. the requirements may be equal to them! poor of us!
This is going to be great on pc, it is amazing on the 360 but the pc version will probably be much better in every way. I hope they significantly improve the graphics and textures instead of porting the 360 or PS3 version. I won’t buy it if it doesn’t look that different from the 360 version.
I’d see if I was busy on the release date, but my diary doesn’t have a 21th of November
hmm.. i would really recommend this, if it were only really fun.
unfortunately it isn’t. dont be fooled by brand name
i need a new pc for this so badly ;p
Grand.Theft.Auto.IV-RELOADED torrent & rapidshare on “scn src.net” (remove space).
The ’21th’???
any info about system requirements ?
I’m more excited for Saints Row 2 now though, since that is coming to the pc soon too. The graphics are a little worse, but the gameplay looks a lot more fun than GTA IV. Saints Row for the 360 had really good customization options and replayability, and Saints Row 2 is going to have even better customization, character creation, as well as planes and all the stuff that should have been in GTA IV. You also get to create and customize your own gang. GTA IV gets really boring after you finish the main story and get used to the multiplayer modes because there isn’t enough to do in the game.

Woohoo! My badass PC will eat this baby up. Roll on November. I love U Rockstar xxxx
saints row 2 also has a lot more weapons that should have been in gta 4 like flamethrowers, katanas, chainsaws, hammers and satchel charges.
Multiplayer gameplay MUST be modified properly for use with mouse.. I hope this is so.. I will pre-order it most likely
Sweet!
And btw this game need a crack: http://www.geo-political-simulator.com/ Kickass game, uncracked files is out at piratebay that needs to be cracked.
I don’t have a XBOX or PS3 and I’m really curious at why many people said this game doesn’t deserve 10/10.

So when is it coming to mac
“hope the pre ordering can begin soon, ”
haha yeah right that doesnt count for nobody thats cuming to this site just down taht sith
hell yeah! i knew it would come to the pc from the beginning and i cant wait for it! im so gonna buy this one =)
The price for a PC to play this (will max graphics and res, like on the consoles) in Australia? AU$3000-AU$4000. The price to play this on a 360 with max graphics/res? Under AU$400. Is it worth an extra AU$2600 just for some mods? HA. No.
@47
How about I don’t go to that website. Quit spamming!
fantastic – v. pleased about this.
i would have thought that they would try and keep the requirements fairly reasonable because it will mean more sales.
the more people who can play it, the more will buy it. the recommended spec will be fairly high, but I would wager that the minimum spec will be well within everyone’s capability.
In addition to the already proven gameplay of PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, the PC port will feature a “newly expanded multiplayer” mode, said Rockstar. It is unclear what (if any) other additions will be made.
This kind of news is great, much better thant he bus-killer >.>
YesS!! I bought this for PS3 and im so buying it again for pc.
#65 you idiot, that news you mentioned was shocking and much more important than this. This is way world is so bad, cuz people like you don’t care about the rest.
OMG OMG OMG :O OMG OOOO MMM GGGG OW MY GOD :O
@67: Shut up emo kid. Talking like that on this topic (news about a game that involves slaughtering people) makes you sound like a moron.
I hope you can still decapitate people in this version.

Im glad its coming out so fast, took over a year for some of the previous GTA’s.
This Grand.Theft.Auto.IV-SPACE_BANDITS-NOFX where can i find it? checked at emule.. does not exist?
FWIW – ‘Bully’ will also be coming out.
When is Halo 3 for PC (VISTA) coming out?
I’m assuming nothing is exclusive anymore, Halo never was exclusive, but Microsoft always maintained it was an Xbox ONLY game, until they broke those promises and launched Halo 1 and Halo 2 for PC.
I’m truly assuming they will bring out a Halo 3 for PC (maybe it time for Windows 7, so it maybe a Windows 7 exclusive, lmfao).
I have the 360 version but I’m still getting this for one reason and one reason only: MODS!
i am actually gonna buy this one. for the multiplay and to have an actual copy of IT. i cant wait!! i dont really buy pc games unless there is good multiplayer online
I was wondering when they were releasing it on the PC.. freaking Awesome!!
@78
I highly doubt Halo 3 will make it to the Pc..At least not now. But, as always..You never know!
It’s released on my birthday….!!!! and the european release is released on my mom’s birthday!!!! let’s buy two GTA games …lol.
rs link please!
I hope it doesn’t run as bad as Scarface did. Bad port, but the patch did make a difference.
I’ll be waiting for mods
not sure what put in my MP3 mix.
21th??????????
LMAO!
21st you mean.
Looking forward to this.Played it on the PS3 and it was boringgggg.overrated.Hopefully in the PC version its gonna look better and we can have the girls do some more hardcore stuff
played it on xbox360 – completed it, started to replay it, got bored, sold it.
it’s not even close to being as much fun as san andreas was – there is nothing to do other than missions and getting blowjobs.
The dark knight was gr8……….now the GTA IV to the Pc..this is even gr8er…………Was waiting for it.for years..from the day it was announced they wer goin to make another GTA….My policy of PC upgrade is like this: Whenever A New GTA is released I upgrade my PC…………ROCK STAR ROCKS
Yes! I actually read this 2 months ago while I was still living in Toronto, it was leaked on a Russian website about the November release dates, I’m very glad to see RLSLOG confirm these dates!!
I’m so excited, I’ve played it on 360 and I want this game for pc!! I’m hoping it comes with some special features for pc!
awesum news….rlslog rulz!

This might just be the first Software I’ll actually buy!
GTA is THE BEST
I think GTA IV is great. Yes, it’s more of the same, if you’ve been a Grand Theft Auto fan from the beginning (not just from 3 onwards) you will love this. Seems like people thought this game was going to be life changing and different were disappointed that it wasn’t, well for me it was because I bought a 360 just to play this and I never had a console before. If you are going to look for flaws and stuff you CAN’T do, you WILL find them. But there is so much more stuff you CAN do in this game I never dreamed of, everyday I played this I found something new to do.
One more thing, EXCLUSIVE means it will be released on that system FIRST and later on MIGHT be ported to other systems.
Same here leecher. I’ll be buying this one. It’s one game I know is good and worth paying for.
Damn, I guess I need a new computer afterall…
games like this should be banned,
I believe there was some kind of agreement between micrsoft and Rockstar to delay pc release to force Gta fans to buy Xbox 360 when the sales reached the required extent they announced Pc release to maximize the profit
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 i hope my computer runs it well…
Can’t wait for their comments about piracy on PC after they release a months old game with little to none extra content and expect us to suck them off for it and shower them with more money
Choke on your consoles. Even if all of us bought your rehash, you’d still treat us like second rate customers as usual. Why SHOULD we pay? Hell, we’re expected to be grateful for console gamers’ sloppy seconds
do you think it will work on my new quad sli system?
if i spent @3000 AUS on a new computer system!!!!
fu(k that is ,ental.
for half that i can buy a quad core high spec system with multiple graphics cards.
mental
