Why develop for PC? The games just get pirated anyway. :shrug:
great... I'm a big fan of GTA but I won't buy a console just to play GTA IV.
if this becomes true they lost a customer :(
if the PC version does come out it will be at least a year from now just like the other GTA games.
you do know you can pirate for consoles right?Quote:

Of course, but it's harder and far fewer people take advantage of it. Pirating for PC is nothing more than a bit torrent client away.Quote:

erm, but you know that the leaked gta4 on bittorrent is the xbox360 version?Quote:

i would argue that over 80% of all console owners got a pc (or have access to a pc) that is capable of downloading and burning such a leak to play it on a console.
Although I hate the fact that a high end gaming platform is dying I have at least faced the facts.
I do not know if this is going to change in the future but right now more and more developers are abandoning ship or have made the PC their last priority.
And this is pissing me off because in many other areas I can burn more money get higher performance (i.e. high end audio, home theater, cars, clothes etc.).
Why is it that PC gaming (the only platform that you could spent more than 500$ dollars) has become such a mess.
The blame is twofold if you ask me a) lazy developers and incompetent programmers b) piracy.
it's the same for consoles. bit-torrent -> dvd burnQuote:

Many sources tell that the game will be launched in October for PC here is one for example and there are others like IGN who say Q4 2008....
Anyway I highly doubt that it won't be launched on PC....
If the source is credible (which I really doubt), it still means nothing. Developers always say things like: ''there are no plans for a PC version at this time'' or ''game x is Xbox/PS exclusive'' etc. to get the most out of the console versions. Does Mass Effect and GoW ring a bell?
And let's not forget that every major GTA title has
come to the the PC after their console release(not counting the portable ''stories'') :
GTA III:
PS2: Oct 2001
PC: May 2002
Vice City:
PS2: Oct 2002
PC: May 2003
San Andreas:
PS2: Oct 2004
PC: June 2005
See a pattern? I'm guessing:
GTA IV:
PS3/360: April 2008
PC: Nov-Dec 2008
I force you to be correct :up:Quote:

This isnt even an anticipated game for me.Thats Starcraft2.:shrug:
Why i bought a PS3.
I don't blame Rockstar, would you honestly release "proberly" the biggest selling game of 2008 on the PC to lose around 20-30% of sales due to people saying "sod getting it on the console i'll download it on the PC".
I still expect GTA4 to come out on the PC but i'll be damn suprised if its within this year.
Right now (before release), you don't have to disconnect from the internet to play it on the PC. And, you don't have to worry about PAL, etc.Quote:

there have been gamepads available for pc for over 15 years.
I have a PS3 but I've already decided that I'm either waiting for a pc release or I'm not getting it :up:
Point taken, but I do not own one. :shrug:Quote:
