| Re: GTA4... It's time... said by vasta  :the PC version will probably be released ~1 year after the PSwhatever release like the others totally blows Well, it's coming out simultaneously on the 360.. so maybe it'll come out on the PC sooner.
said by 35375105 :wait... wasn't san andreas GTA4? lol Then what was Vice City? GTA 3.5?
no
GTA3, GTA:VC, and GTA:SA were all on the same engine. GTA4 is on a new engine (the table-tennis one, I believe) and will be step forward technologically.

But whatever they want to call it I guess. I just hope they do a lot to the engine. GTA3,VC,SA engine/physics/movements are complete crap to say the least.

I just hope they do a lot to the engine. GTA3,VC,SA engine/physics/movements are complete crap to say the least. That's the whole reason they're calling this GTA4 and not just another city name. If you take a look at the engine they used to develop their ping pong game, that's the same engine they're using for this newest GTA.

| Re: GTA4... It's time... said by Anonymous_ :no SA was GTA 6th GTA L GTA GTA2 GTA3 GTA VC GTA SA GTA LCS GTA VCS WRONG!
GTA London was expansion to GTA.
GTA2 was new engine
GTA3 3D engine
GTA VC and SA are like expansions of GTA3 engine
GTA4 another step in new 3D engine. All cities were present in GTA.
They say console version will be available in October 16. So I guess March next year we should expect GTA on PC. I just can't live with that lame console targeting system. I want a mouse. So whichever console implements that in games, gets my money.

Basically I get all excited about it being released in March of the next year and then all my friends already have played it and beat it on console so they're like "yeah, who cares?"

| Re: GTA4... It's time... said by Tomek :Console = guaranteed profit PC = not so much (due to piracy and support costs) Yeah but I still think it's stupid to release the same exact game for the PC nearly 6 months after it get released on console.
Even more so now that today's consoles basically ARE PC's, I mean seriously take an xbox apart. It has hard drives too. It uses CDs. So why take so long to 'port' it over? There shouldn't be any 'porting' done. I think R* just likes to f*ck with the heads of PC users or something, no other gave developer releases stuff for the PC later than console, they release it at same time. | |

| Re: GTA4... It's time... It's all about money, both MS and Sony want to have "exclusive" rights for the game, so it will motivate people to buy game AND the console. After six months when demand drops, then they target PC gamers.
FYI, Xbox is a PC running some weird edition of Windows, however PS3 has unique architecture (non-x86) and is a pain in the ass for developers.

2 edits | Re: GTA4... It's time... Actually none of the current consoles are using x86 processors. They're all running on PowerPC processors, like what Apple used to use. This is why developers originally worked with Powermac G5s to make their 360 games and the first playable 360 games were actually running on Powermac G5s.

Hopefully developers use the PS3's support for mice and keyboards, if so it will become my next gaming machine. | |

the fourth one will have to be pretty damn cool to even get me to look twice at it.

| Re: GTA4... It's time... Seems a lot of people are mad about the Liberty City location again... but here's the thing... GTA and GTA2 weren't graphically advanced enough to even SHOW OFF anything major of New York, and GTA3 had little to no resemblance of Liberty City as it was, so I feel that this time they wanted to make it right and by the looks of the video, it sure as hell looks pretty freaking right.

1 edit | Well the new word I'm hearing is that this game will actually take place in the entire state of New York, not just New York City (Liberty City). And possibly it will be called "New Liberty" (a play on "New York")
So that's actually pretty cool because I live in upstate new york but hate NYC/LI.
