I thought you couldn't.
None the less I'll be stoked if/when it does.


you'll need NASA's supercomputer to run it though icon_lol.gif


as if a decent desktop couldnt run what a 360/ps3 can... think about it, when those consoles are just a smaller dedicated games computer.

most modern pc's with dual core or above, decent ramand GFX card would have no issues running a game like this, even baring in mind a PC version would potentially be higher res, even still you could probably bump the res and special effects down to accomodate most pc's. its more a question of if rockstar is interested in producing a pc platform version, San Andreas was done, the quality was very high compared to PS2. I would not expect a groundbreaking difference between systems quality wise but rockstar possibly only has interest in supporting its current platforms until bugs are wotked out.

I can't believe that cheats are already avaliable for GTA4 like 1 day after release they were out there. but nothing is impossible.

I am a huge GTA fan and after playing 4 on my housemates ps3 through the 42" LCD all i can say is meh!

And i'm no game snob GTA and a few others is pretty much all i will play but i just can't get into 4.

Hopefully it'll be better on PC.

I've had the same trouble with san andreas.

i've only played 1-2 hrs in about 2 years.. Just couldn't get into it. mind you it took me a while to get into the GTA 3/vice city groove - i guess its a until you learn the map type thing.

But san andreas to me was almost to complex with eating and going to the gym etc.

Don't bother with the eating unless you need to and going to the gym unless you want respect, I played GTA san andreas more time than I can count and I rarely wen to the gym.

I have a PS3 but I'll be waiting for the PC release for this game. PS3 is solely for GT5.

didnt bother to search so this could have been answered:

Is anyone else having issues (XBOX360 version) playing multiplayer? If i host a party and my mates join, i choose a game it loads fine.

however, if another of my mates does the same and i connect, no good. i just time out.

same happens if i just try to go straight into a game type, it 90% of the time just times out

Alright how do you save? Do you have to go back to the safehouse? It saves after I finish a mission. Then when I turn off and turn on again I'm back to there beginning again?

WTF?
Cops are brutal in this one.
I love the stunt jumps.

Timmeh, game will save at your point for quick recovery, when you turn the system off and then back on you will start at the safe house with no change in game progress. just start location is different. It sounds like you are turning it off when you come back you are starting at the safe house as mentioned above but progress is lost? yeah?

probably the easiest answer is just get a cab back to the sagehouse and save it there.
that way it also allocates to the save file. the autosave in the game should be updatig this file on an ongoing basis after each mission or big event.

Cops... best I have maintained has been about 10 mins with 4 stars. cops on the water are BLOODY hard. My current addiction staus is Junkie.

You can find this when you press pause and go to stats, I think its under misc.. but yeah post up your adiction status.

Yeah I was losing my progess. I sorted it out. There was two save games in the list and the game was always picking the old one and I had to load the newer one manually. I deleted the old one now so it works fine.

I also went out and bought a 360 just for this game. Picked it up the day the game was released. Haven't had much time to play it though - finally got onto xbox live over the weekend and the multiplayer stuff is f**k awesome icon_smile.gif

We'll have to get a fordmods gta4 party together!

I got the chain reaction 20g one. blow up 10 cars in less than 10 seconds.

Also got the walk free one for 50g. Easiest way to get that is get on the runway and drive up and down. The cops won't go on the runway.
