GTA IV confirmed and dated for PC News

Whoa.

Didnt see that one when they originally announced.
Spose they have rinsed it on the 360, next platform please! :)

/expected

No Achievements, no buy.

i think they should do some DLC for the 360 version sometime, that'd be a good idea. how bout it, rockstar?

cool can play without the rubbish frame rate. That will turn it into a great game, oh plus loads of mods.

The most telling sighting was a rating on the ESRB website, although that was removed a few hours later.

Are there seriously people that sit around, constantly F5ing in the hope that something new and interesting pops up? What a bunch of losers!


/F5s

No Achievements, no buy.

No achievements, instant buy.

picked up a 10/10 but still sucked, hard

No Achievements, no buy.

No achievements, instant buy.

Both foolish stances to take

/slaps

if you buy a game just because of achievements, thats pretty sad, be interesting to see how it looks on pc though - could be the definitive version (if you have the rig to run it)

W00t hopefully the multiplayer parts will be a lot better set up, maybe even being able to connect to specific servers to cut out the rubber banding madness and the "I ran him over at 180 mph and he's still standing" antics

/gets booted back to single player EG

ARRRRR!!

will it come with a huge amount of underage children playing it online? Or is that 360 version only? ;)

About bloody time!

:)

*adds to must buy list*

Yeah, but if there are three versions, choosing to buy the version where you can earn achievements isn't sad. It's just the sort of point-whoring gamers have been doing since Space Invaders.

Big.

Shame I'll likely not play it for 2-4 years on this platform.

@Hermiod =- +1,000,000! :)

agree with that britesparc, but if you have a ps3 or xbox and pc you would of surely got this by now, if you dont then not getting it because it doesnt have achievements is missing out on one of the best games of the year for a small feature

gta 4 totally lacked the sandbox gameplay compared to gta sa.
completely overrated imo

Dream come true.

Lol Miiguel, your trolling is now at the next level, congratulations.

Anyway, awesome news, though I expected it really. Can't wait.

Wicked! Already completed on PS3, and 50% on my 360.. but being able to modify it is going to be super-sweet!

Katsumoto, why did you have to post that? Am I not allowed to have "my thing", I mean this "judging" thing is quite astonishing. I bought a new PC this Sunday, and after several years of using but Linux I'm trying to get into PC gaming, but I just realized I'm too used to play with Achievements, which some might find silly, but it's a personal choice, and I think it's very tasteless to judge what one likes or doesn't like, and embark in the "name calling" route.
Anyway, if that makes you feel wiser, by all means. Yeah, I'm a troll and whatnot.

edit: I don't buy/play only games with Achievements, but I guess I don't replay one if I have no incentive to do it (Achievements, a carrot, whatever).
edit 2: And of course I have it, the pricy version and all... (100% completed, yeah... even the silly - "only for trolls" - "Endangered Species" Achievement).

Peace.

Who needs achievements if you have MODS?! Great news:-)

oh Mods, you're a geek, and live in a basement, and loser and stuff...

See? I can play that game...

(not really, scratch that! Do your thing, have fun.)

;)

Brilliant.

Superior version am confirmed!

Cool.

The shocking thing here isn't the fact it's coming, it's that it's coming so very soon. I expected this for 2009, Sony & MS clinging to exclusivity to boost Christmas console sales... it's very good news for PC games though.

YES. just bought a semi ninja computer

I hope my PC can run this. :(

Pleased to hear this. Part of me's amazed it's not going to be out in September though, it seems like every PC game I'm even slightly interested in (and plenty more I'm not) plans to release in September, when I'm going abroad for 10 months with only my PSP and an EeePC701.

Cool bananas.

Good news for the PC.

But I must have played this for about 2 hours and then got bored. But I've never been a big fan of GTA. Yet I keep buying the damn games.

No Achievements, no buy.


Ahaha so you were serious with that comment?

Hahahaha oh god. Well. I guess you're totally entitled to your opinion, despite that being possibly the most retarded and tragically sad thing I've read all day.

Oh yes, an overrated sandbox title starring a war criminal for us PC gamers to enjoy! Maybe if they make an interesting mod, otherwise I'll pass.

@ the guy who said No achievements NO buy. Wow you must be a achievement wh ore or something. Anyway it's gonna much better on the pc. Just like all the other gta ports. The graphics were horrible on the consoles so i'm buying this for sure.

what's gonna be diff't/improved in the pc version?
