Delays for GTA IV & SR2 :(

Digital · 31 Oct 2008 at 06:34

Just having a quick read through Joystiq.com and...

Saints Row 2 - PC - Delayed 2009
GTA IV - PC - Delayed December 2008

Sure there's plenty of other games that I need to work my way through, but still.

yeah, I did hear about SR2 slipping into 2009, but GTA IV delayed too :eek:

Oh well, nothing I can do, I guess, 'cept wait

Volition community moderator V-Singular said:
The PC version was delayed because we wanted to make the highest quality game across all platforms, but it just needed more time.

The game is a port of the console version from an external company, but that doesn't mean the code can just be copied over, and ship it out. The PC version is still being produced and tested at Volition with support from the design and programming teams as needed. This is in no way a hands-off external port of the game

In all fairness SR2 sucks I really didnt like it

GTA would be a lot better i think for PC compared to the xbox because of mods etc.... but ive already played it on the xbox so meh

this is all meh news to me lol

SkeeterUK · 31 Oct 2008 at 09:07

Specs been out for ages so doesnt matter if joystick site said em. Also unless it comes from publisher or dev the release date hasn't changed.

Edit = Meh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn set backs.

medley · 31 Oct 2008 at 10:14

The way you are talking about GTA 4 is like its been delayed for a year or something. Its only less than a month I think

I hope its as modable as SA. Loved putting those crazy skins/models over my cars.

I wonder why the CPU requirements are so high, relative to the very modest GPU requirements? Geforce 8600 recommended?! Although the HD 3870 is miles quicker than an 8600? I wonder if they meant to say 8800?

I was hoping my E2180 @ 3GHz would be sufficient to run this game decently.

psychas · 31 Oct 2008 at 12:40

huh i will kick pink shop butt if they not post me gta 4 on 21 november

hmmm ''minimum7900/1900'' and recommend 8600 ?
The 8600 is slower than both :confused:

In terms of raw power it is slower, but it does have more features than the other cards I believe.

But I reckon they meant 8800, because that is closer to the HD3870 than any 8600 model is.
