They absolutely do not need to lock modders out, they just need to remember not to put dodgey content on the disc and forget to mention it. Mods will make it to GTA4.

Anyway, as much as I believe it will make a PC appearance I've toned down my excitement after a little more thought. Since when do Malaysian mags get exclusives like this? Plus, doesn't it actually say inside that it is arriving soon, possibly?
 
If anyone can come up with a valid reason why it wouldn't come to pc, i'd be surprised, this was obviously coming from the day someone had the thought "so we making a sequel to GTA3:SA?".

As for image quality, I'd only buy it if there is a damn option to turn off soft shadows. THe fuzzy image quality people mention is probably that god damned awful shadow issue thats apparent everywhere but most dramatic when driving along underneath the rail tracks as you get so many shadow edges. They are fuzzy, horrible and need to be turned off.

Hopefully PC version will get, fix to the number of different car models that drive around and not be a set of 4-5 main cars in a set all spawning based on what car you happen to be driving, IE sports cars would only spawn in normal streets if you were already in one, which was a joke. Soft shadows, draw distance options, AA option or at least forceable would all make so much difference to how it looks.

THe targetting wasn't actually that bad except when you locked on and it locked on the wrong person and you couldn't get it to switch easily, but with hopefully, smooth manual targetting and aiming with mouse it wouldn't be required anyway, praying.

OMG PIRATES !

Is what they'd prolly come up with:rolleyes:...
Or they're on contract with $ony and Micro$oft (only use the $ in this example, I like them ( MS&Sony) if they don't use these dirty tactics but if they DO pay rockstar for avoiding pc release, then I hate them) to not release it on pc, so pc fanboys like me will be forced to convert to the darkside and buy a console :(.

Don't bet your money on it, I've been requesting this ever since gta VC, I doubt they'll do much more than to port it, perhaps enhance gfx if we're luckily, and test the controls & game on one or 2 configs...

I think they will repeat as they did in SA, no lock when you're in kb&mouse mode, but only lock ons with joypads...

It would be unfair to punish the modding commmunity for that. The Hot Coffee feature was built into the game already, the mod just enabled it.
 
I reckon there's a fair chance this could be out in Oct, or by Xmas at least. Surely it's easier to port to PC from the XBOX360 version than it would have been when eg San Andreas was being ported from the PS2 previously?

I thought San Andreas was built on the PC and then ported over to the PS2 and then the Xbox?

That would be the ultimate waste of time, surely? Considering San Andreas came out ages before on the PS2, what the hell were they doing with the PC version all that time, apart from hiding features which shouldn't be there ;)

Timed exclusive for the PS2. Like Final Fantasy XIII is being developed for the PC, but it's going be an exclusive on PS3 in Japan, and then come across to the 360 and PC.
 
I said it would come to PC anyway :p It HAS to since SR2 is coming to PC and SR2 is a competing game.

Yeah I guess that could be the case here too, but it should mean that they can release it pretty much any time they want, so pre-Christmas would make most sense to maximise sales?
 
The modding community have already set to decyphering the console versions the moment they landed so they know what to expect with the PC version.

The point is not about the content they left on the disc but the fact becasue of that people have opened their eyes to the dangers of modding games and releasing content the devloper did not intend for their games. This then falls back on the developer so the media can get on their high horse and publishers do not always like that kind of publicity.

Some modding talk, like posts about decrypting some files has been restricted on the main GTA community forum due to their mild affiliation with R*.
 
I'm not bothered about the graphics or gameplay about this version as i've finished it on the 360. BUT what I am looking forward to is all the brand new cars and mods etc etc that will be created which will make the game a whole lot more fun! :D

Bugatti Veyron in GTA4 anyone? :D
 
Cant wait for this game, it be probaly better on the pc, i can trade in my ps3 version for a pc version
