GTA IV PC Offical System Requirements Finally Revealed Plus Review

GTA IV PC Hands-On: Video Editor and More - PC News at GameSpot

Heres a new feature in the game

That having been said, the game features a wealth of options that allow you to optimise your machine's performance based on what you want the game to do. As well as the normal detail, lighting, and other technical settings, it's possible to change traffic density on the fly. If you know your computer struggles around really busy junctions, you can keep your settings at such a level that it keeps frame rates up most of the time and just lowers traffic density either across the board or as you enter more built-up areas. It also allows those with higher-spec machines to push the traffic levels in Liberty City up much higher than the default values on consoles, which does add an extra dimension to the city, with built-up junctions feeling even more chaotic than before.

Some bad news on the delay

Today we were able to confirm with Rockstar Games that the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV has been delayed until December 2nd in North America and December 3rd in Europe. Suspicions of a possible delay began in October, when some retailers changed the release date on their websites, and last week IGN claimed to have been given official word of a delay by Rockstar. The game was originally due for release on November 18th and November 21st, in North America and Europe respectively.

The official GTA IV website has now been updated in accordance with this news

That saying it will be going gold towards the end of this month so I know some people aren't happy its been delayed but it will give people the chance to upgrade their PC's if need be

[Ozzie]

can anyone verify this?

[VY03]

Its already verifed by Rockstar

Click on information and the release date has been changed

The AU version is going to be delayed as well

[Jesterarts]

^^ Yeah the have to take all the good stuff out of the Oz version and censor the bollox through it so that should take them a while :P

[DavidPartay]

That's one reason you should never buy software in Australia!

Import all the way! Or buy it when it's three years old and costs $30, then torrent the uncensored version from the US or something...

[Ozzie]

December
