GTA 4 for PC?

Hey there

Just saw GTA 4 for PS3 and Xbox 360 in a shop. And since I really like the GTA series I cannot wait to get to play this game. There is however one little problem and that is that I neither have a PS3 nor a Xbox 360.

So the big question is, is there going to be realesed a version for PC or do I have to buy either a PS3 or Xbox 360 to get to play the game?

It's likely that is will be released, but Rockstar hasn't confirmed or denied.

Re: GTA 4 for PC?

The release date for console is 29th April. The boxes you see in the shops are pre-order boxes. (I fell for it to)
GTA 4 for PC is a possibility the system requirements could be something like crysis. The amount of Traffic and AI put into the game now a minimum CPU would be a Dual Core @ 2.0ghz.
Seen as all the other GTA games have come to PC its more than likely number 4 will. But like the PC version it will take time. I think it took something like 6-8months

Re: GTA 4 for PC?

Sorry guys for spreading such confussions it was apparently just a place which you could preorder a copy of the game.

Sorry for the incorrect information.

Re: GTA 4 for PC?

Rockstar always adapt a strategy of releasing the GTA series on Consoles before PC, the game will sure be released for PC but not before 6 or 7 months

As for the requirements, it's a next gen game realesed for the next gen consoles so it will demand a next gen PC, but if u can play Crysis on ur PC then u will be able to play GTA 4

Re: GTA 4 for PC?

Next Gen? The character models look the same graphically as Max Payne 2.
