I am going to go with what others have said, PC announcement at the end of May and it's release in October. Just a guess

well i've turned to the dark side and my 360 should be here tomorrow and my brother picked me up a copy and posted to me so that should be here monday.

hope it looks good on my Dell 2407

Yeah but you can do that in GTA3. What *really* have they added since?

Each new iteration brings very little to the table, yet it's hyped out of proportion. I also liked firing up GTA3 (I don't have it anymore as the disk broke) and running around causing havoc.

You say about the unlimited countryside - did you honestly run out of places to go in any other GTA game?

what do you want them to do?

until computing power gets exponentially more powerful every developer is limited in terms of more life like gaming and true AI which is what this series needs.

i agree that it's basically a graphically enhanced GTA3 with some tweaks and new storyline, but what's wrong with that anyway? they've enhanced one of the best videogames ever made...i'd rather they stay true to the game and enhance what's already done well than to change the game radically on the premise that it will be better just because it's different - because that theory is flawed.

back on topic hah - of course it will hit the PC

Seen it all priced at £45 near me.

Also saw some mum/sister buying it for some 8 year old both in the queue :rolleyes:

I hope it gets a decent port this time.

Am i the only one whose bored that picking up a game like this I know the Jamaican guy will be on weed, barely understandable and be a massive racial stereotype? Will the Russian guy have to be a poor guy who had to fight in an Army and got screwed over? Will there be an idiot family member who gets everyone into trouble and lies a lot? Will there be a Mafia guy, a Triad guy, some witnesses to bump off, stupid cops....

Bring in professional writers of good films and tv, not the cheap crap cliche'd script writers that have been writing the same games for 10 years and are incapable of coming up with anything interesting anymore.

you'd rather Russians who speak like they went to Harvard and Jamaicans who work for the Red Cross helping little kids with no legs?

the world runs on stereotypes and videogames are no different, i don't see it changing anytime soon.

professional script writers don't want to write for videogames dude lol ...that's like the bottom of the barrel as far as they're concerned ...probably just above writing for pron films. i think you need a dose of reality

There is such a thing as professional game script writers, just very very rare since they are appreciated a lot less.

yes expensive games are cheaper now than they used to be. we are quite lucky in that respect.

Go you?..... :confused:

Shamikebab · 3 May 2008 at 00:42

I would like to see it come to PC as Id probably pick it up on the cheap a year or so down the line for mods and stuff. I'll be enjoying it on the 360 until then though.

Riiya · 3 May 2008 at 13:08

id have to say yes. its relatively easy to port especially since its on the 360 too.

probably not for a year tho - gotta let gta iv sell some consoles first!

go you, we'v all had HD monitors for 10years, and my 42" ones great, especially with AA. My PC doesnt even sound like a hoover either..

meghatronic · 3 May 2008 at 15:49

I can't decide whether to buy this on PS3.... or wait for pc version.... I'm **** at using a console to aim etc.

Semiskimmed · 3 May 2008 at 15:51

id buy it for the ps3 instead of waiting and enjoy the game now with everyone else to be honest

£40 in the shops, £35 on the net.

ajgoodfellow · 3 May 2008 at 16:20

I'm currently saving up for a PS3 to play this as we speak!

I'm not usually a console gamer but I'm making an exception. If I get a PS3 then I can also get GT5 Prologue, Uncharted and Haze (when it comes out!)
