Steam users: "Available: December 2nd, 2008 This game will unlock in approximately 6 hours"

It has just changed from Dec 3rd to the 2nd.

Wasn't it discovered that the console versions were actually rendering in something like 640p and the 360 and PS3 just scaled to 720p/1080p as required?

It doesn't excuse the fact that the modern high-end rigs still struggle with it but it's still worth keeping it in mind when people try to run it 1680 x 1050, 1920 x 1080 etc on PCs and then start comparing it to the console versions.

Thats already been brought up many times in this thread, and it was only the PS3 which was in 640P.

The console fanbois are going to be utterly guffawing at the complete fail this is turning into.

Hi

My spec is

AMD 144 1.8
ATI 2900 PRO
1GB RAM

Will it run it at all or will my computer blow up, should I stick to the 360 version?

You computer will implode and a massive black hole will emerge and gobble the earth up, whatever you do DO NOT run it on that rig!!!!

Really?

What spec should I be looking at and how much in pounds?

Quad Core @ 3Ghz +
GTX 280 SLi
8GB Ram

Seems realistic at this stage tbh.

It's a bad port, the PC's should be slapping the consoles silly with this but Rockstar ****** up :\

And yet a measly 360 can run it fine!

Looks like I will struggle as well

8800GTS
QX6700
4GB
Vista 64Bit

I hope I can run it, looking forward to the multiplayer modes.

Edited my post to reflect why an Xbox360 will run it fine.

RS ******* up, PC's would obliterate consoles normally and should here we all know PC's are faster.

I'm so glad I checked this thread before ordering. Also pretty glad I managed to borrow a 360 to play it when it came out.

@ 640 p ( bout 1138x640) with 33 avg fps and drops to twenties

.
It ain't doing too well at all either.

I can turn my gfx @ 1024x768 and cheer how well it runs too

I know! I'm only winding you lot up

Just cant believe how badly it looks to play, I mean what type of computers do the developers use to test the game! :eek:
