Its Official ..... GTA 4 PC Confirmed

, was total garbage, looked garbage too.
Console fanbois ( or at least the ones I know) all seem to praise their xbox 360 and their ps3 for running it so smooth
.I wouldn't mind playing 25-30 fps either tbh, it's enough, more is always nice but not essential...
What do you want them to do though ? The consoles have outdated GPU's in them that just can't handle more, would you like it to look worse than it does now ?

Consoles have their good points but this game did suck badly on them. After a couple of hours session I felt like I needed to go to Specsavers for some glasses 
Blurry as hell, short redraw and bad framerates. What do you expect with 512mb of shared memory, etc....there was always going to be compromises.
The PC (espescially decent mid-high end) is going to do this game justice, more than a console ever could, providing of course it isn't a cheap port. And although I thought VC and SA were more fun than IV the modding community should (hopefully) turn it into something decent on that front too.

Yup.
I'd rather have a steady framerate than what the console versions of GTA IV currently have, it's a disgrace.

I only had problems on the 360 when there was a lot of explosions 
All fine here on my Xbox, won’t be buying the PC version I don’t get along with the controls, I may try it if the MP scene is good like San Andreas but I feel it won’t due to the size of the city, its tiny in comparison. I mean you can drive from one side to the other in under 5 mins, in SA it took ages!

It's not fine though, unless you are blind.
Plug your 360 pad into PC, sorted?

Can honestly say it’s being 100% perfect the only issue is during multi play it can get some bad slowdowns due to Xbox Live not the game, I’ve fully completed it and haven’t noticed a hitch. I can’t plug my controllers in as there wireless but I get what you mean
Like I say if multi play proves to be a big hit I will buy it for that reason, I play loads of multi play action on my 360.
Yeah iv only got so far on the 360 before I just gave up playing it! The framerate is awful as are the graphics, dont really care what people say with the "oh but look at the size of the city" argument as it just doesnt look good or run well.
Hopefully the PC version should solve those issues and I will probably complete the game this time
Plus I do hate the fact autoaim is a necessity on the consoles as targeting is nonsense! High PC Spec and Mouse/Keyboard Combo and I will love this game Yeah iv only got so far on the 360 before I just gave up playing it!

It’s not though you can set it on/off in the options, I play with it off in MP mode, can bet a mouse would be better than using the analogue stick though.
/Edit, sorry see what you mean though you meant you have to use it
