HI ,GTA IV fanatics..
can anybody say something about hadware support for GTA IV..??
thanks!
-
Eh, Its not even out yet. And it probably wont be on PC. Since VCS Aint on PC.
-
on the xbox version of VC the wheels and reflections are more detailed than the PC version.
hopefully they'll water down GTA IV too
-
I hope it will be on PC!
-
It'll probably be on PC 6 months after the console release, just like previous GTA releases.
-
You will need :
GeForce 8800GTX
Dual Core
23GB ram
lol.
-
You will need something like the 360 hardware for a good experience on PC imo, they're going to release on PC, they know it would be stupid to lose, beleive it or not, their BIGGEST fan base. They will tone down the stuff greatly for minimum, tho I'd say you need atleast 3.2 ghz to run it min when it comes.

would a 8800ts do ?
and i need 20gb more ram , fuck !
yeh like shadow said you will need super processer power for this game.
-
It's prolly gonna be like the normal high quality games..
512MBs Ram min. and 1gb ram max.
-

Both you and me know that you shouldn't lie to yourself mate. It's around 4 times more hardware-using than the HL2 engine, which is REALLY much.
I'd say around 2gb RAM min, 3ghz min. And a really good GFX card.
-

The PSP games have nothing to do with the big releases, like the GTA III trilogy (GTA III, GTA: VC, GTA: SA).
And since all the big GTA releases were released on PC, this one will to.
-
3.2ghz isn't that super, . About the graphics, A highish end AGP DirectX 9 card would be my bet for min, recommend definatly a DX 10 card, 1GB Ram is enough for min probably, 2GB would be better. Think about it this isn't too far-fetched, as they have advanced streaming technology and such, and these are the people that got a Vice City map on PSP, running fairly smooth.
-
My shit PC can't even run SA so hah. I don't plan on spending any money on video games. I havn't since the 90's.
-
i wonder how it looks with my new graphicscard *directx 10*
i think i can run it and i think if you can run hl2 on max or css then you can definatly run it i think :
Proc : 2,6ghz
Ram : 768mb
Gfxc : Geforce series 6/7/8 ati 1300 to everything
thats what i think for minimum
-
Are you guys fucking mental? You actually think that R* will demand for really high specs for a computer? GTA: IV will be on the Wii, Xbox360 and PlayStation 3, end of story. If it's gonna come on the PC then they will lower the graphics, quality and everything else necessary for an ordinary Joe to play it with a mediocre computer.

It's not confirmed that GTA: IV will be on the Wii.
-
Ownt, . Anyway you aren't looking at it logically beleive it or not Spoof, PC is their biggest GTA market (again, beleive it or not) so they wont abandon it, and they are going to do fairly high minimum for sure, or it wont be like X360 or PS3, and then people wont like it as much.

Rumors have been going on the past few months of Grand Theft Auto IV making its way to the Nintendo Wii. Reggie Fils-Aime, President of Nintendo America, has been pushing Take-Two for a Wii port of the game. It seems his hard work paid off, early this morning a trailer was added to the press website of Rockstar Games announcing GTA IV for the Wii. Because the Wii is not powerful enough to render the same graphics as the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, it seems as though they've gone with the old engine or perhaps an edited version of it.
-
Spoof is right lol...
I say minimum are:
Intel P4 @ 3.00ghz or AMD Athlon 3800+
1GB ram minimum
And a 6 or 7 series nvidia, or X1300 radeon or higher.

Just because you have those?...

No
I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 OC'ed to 3.4 GHz
2GB OCZ Platinum DDR2 Dual Channel 800 MHz ram
ATI Radeon X1950 XTX 512 MB OC'ed to 850 MHz
But the thing i posted above is most likely the minimum specs.

it will came out at October 16, 2007 from
http://ps3.ign.com/objects/793/793799.html (http://ps3.ign.com/objects/793/793799.html) its the right side where it said release date

You think they'll change the engine just so Nintendo can use GTA IV?

GTA IV will be out on Wii here is a trailer lol http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6307295674180257795 (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6307295674180257795)

Guys, you're all morons if you don't get the fact that the "GTA IV on Wii" thing was an April fools joke.. >_<
-
I'll get a 1gb RAM so I have 1.5gb and I hope it's enough
-
Awesome graphics for Wii!!!
Lol kaboom vad gör du här, har din fru lämnat dig eller? WoW alltså
-
My guess is that GTA IV won't get a PC release. Yes, GTA's biggest money spinner has been for PC, but keep in mind that the early GTAs were initially released on the PC, THEN ported to consoles. More and more I can see PC gaming dying out and consoles becoming the primary source for gaming. Due to this theory, I don't think R* will go to the trouble of porting a game to PC that will invariably enjoy greater console success. This is probably why we won't see LCS or VCS on the PC either.
GTA's PC days may already be over...
-
3.2 ghz?! i dont have nor two
-
Awesome graphics for Wii!!!
Lol kaboom vad gör du här, har din fru lämnat dig eller? WoW alltså
Japp.
-
Are you guys fucking mental?
yeah.
-
woooowwwww
no offense, but all of you sound like fucking morons, "tho I'd say you need atleast 3.2 ghz to run it min when it comes."
that is a load of bullshit.
Ghz mean next to nothing in a processor, Mines 1.8 stock (opteron 165), it will run it fine
DircectX10? no, this will be a DirectX9 game, first off... the PS3 and the Xbox360 do not support DirectX10
This game WILL be ram heavy, i can say that for sure. you will obviously need a little more ram if you use vista over Xp, id say 2GB of some decent speed ram will be a good step in running this in full GFX
Dumbing down the graphics for the PC? are you fucking kidding me? if anything R* will enhance the graphics for the PC, if your PC is not that great, theres something called graphics adjustments, and you can change resolution and other effect qualities. much like in SA, SA's gfx were slightly improved for PC.
Video memory? it means nothing, but what i can tell you is any decent card has 256MB, you can get a 512MB gfx card and it will still run like shit because its a slow fucking card with a high amount of ram the card cant even take advantage of.
GTAIV will highly likely come out for the PC
its not that hard to overpower an Xbox360 with your computer, its not that expensive either.
-
Well commenting on you last statement about a PC easily beating an Xbox 360, that is quite true. And thus the previous statement about enhancing graphics for the PC also stands. But the ones who will enjoy the highest end graphics, might just be the PS3 owners, as the PS3's shaders have more capabilities than any PC can handle at the moment, even a multicore with the highest amount of RAM and latest graphics card, cannot simulate the almost infinite gradient of light and dark that the PS3 can simulate, well actually produce.
But aside from that, the game for the PC should be released with the limits of PC design performance of today in mind, and yet limited enough that it can be dubbed down to run on systems maybe about 3/5 of the power of the 360. This way all can enjoy, and even some can have graphics almost as credable as the PS3 versions.
It might just be they could be programming for a highest quality PC and then easily convert that over to run on the PS3, so the PC and PS3 quality will be identical to suit PC owners that want the full enhancements of the game.
*Shruggs*
What do I know though.
I am just speculating. Although I do know that no PC hardware as of yet cannot simulate the PS3 shader gradients. Which to be honest have not been taken advantage of yet, and I doubt it will be used to its fullest in GTA: IV.
I do not know of a graphics setup that will allow light to pass through a membranous substance, as say a cheek with a flashlight shining through it, and actually produce, not simulate, the color change of light shining through skin, without using a dynamic bitmap triggered by set commands and pulls several bitmaps in succession to simulate the rapid change in color, but will only pull up that same animation everytime light hits it. Which is not what a good PS3 game will do. It will not call on a rapid successions of images, instead it will calculate where the light hits, where the membrane is thick and thin and the light of the membrane will always be different and at a better, realer contrast.
Sorry mumbo jumbo. Although I did it for Maxwell's discussion, which got me interested.

-
Yes, but from looking at the trailer, the most noticeable graphics improvement is the use of dynamic lighting and of course some better models
lets face it, the models that we have seen in GTA:IV are not quiet as high polly as a lot of games currently out.
R* makes them look much better than they really are with the soft shadows and dynamic lighting.
and now that we have DirectX10 out, we can surpass the PS3's shaders.
-
I think a lot of people are forgetting that the trailer was done at cut-scene graphics level, maybe even higher, specially to make it look good, in game wont look as amazing as the graphics you saw in the trailer.
That's all I have to say.
-
^ U mean they wont use that light effect from TES IV?
-
that wasnt really a cut scene, at least most of it wasnt, and yes they are using dynamic lighting.
-
Will GTA IV run in my Windows 95?
-
No you definitely wont be able to play it.
-
Will GTA IV run in my Windows 95?
ROFL
Donno if you were kidding or not, either way it's hilarious.
I doubt GTA IV will have steep PC requirements... As many have mentioned the GTA series has been most popular on the PC. I'm sure they'll optimize it for the PC, or they might decide it isn't worth the effort and not release it at all. As someone already said, a console only release isn't really out of the question.
-
i dont think gta iv is comming out on pc... vcs and lcs never came out on pc... its either ps3, ps2, ps1, nintendo 64, sega, or linux... not windows... oh yeah and also xbox 360 and stuff like that...
-

yay for quoting old messages!!!
anyways, IIRC 360 hardware is like only 512-768mb RAM as it doesnt run on an OS, seeing as how thats somewhat low i doubt it has a high clocked CPU, although RAM and CPU are sooo wayy different
then...

LCS & VCS, as stated before, had nothing really to do with the GTA series, they were the "Stories" series. to tide us over 'til the big fat IV

Doubt it's 760 ram. i got the exact video card you put though.

I'd say around 2gb RAM min, 3ghz min. And a really good GFX card.
2GBs ram min? bullshit.. I highly doubt they'd make it that much computer/ram usage... nobody would buy it if it did.
-
>.>
u guys are f'ing noobs.
-
I think will be the recommend config is:
Gforce 8800GTX SLI 640mb (Directx 10 compaltible)
Intel Xeon 4 core 4.0Ghz 2800mhz Chage
25gb HDD
7.1 Sound card
2x2gb 800mhz ram
-
What's great about having a shitty computer is that you don't care what the required specs are... you don't have them!
-
I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't come out on PC after the Hot Coffee incident. Either way I won't be able to play IV. My GFX card overheats on SA with the settings maxed AND a custom fan on.
-
i doubt its overheating, if it is, new cooling is cheap...
you could do hot coffee on all versions of the game with gameshark or such

GTA's PC days may already be over...
I doubt that. Its done in the other way - Developed on pc, transferred to console, crypted, done
Basicly every console game developed for consoles like ps1,ps2,psp,dreamcast,xbox,xbox360 can be run on a pc.. You really think they comiple and transfer all the time when they change tiny things in the code? (thats what nintendo does afaik)
Xbox1 games are developed like this: You have the XDK running on your pc, you can see the same picture on PC and Xbox (DirectX8) and when you are done you compile your code to xbox only code...
The Xbox360 does it the same way i think. Atleast the XDK has the ability to convert Console applications and DirectX10 Games to full XNA engine applications (If the code is suitable for the xbox360)
---
oh and maxwell: Xbox360 is using XNA - even for homebrew.. (which supports DX10 - Even the first xbox games used that engine... in the end even the xbox 1 ran DirectX9 codes by wrapper..)
-
yeah, but the videocards in the xbox360 do not support DX10
I am running vista, Vista supports DirctX10, my computer does not because my 7800GT only has DX9 support, and you can not give it dx10 support.
long story short, you cam emulate a lot of DX10 in DX9 but it wont be true, and the xbox360 will never see directX10
-
I think will be the recommend config is:
Gforce 8800GTX SLI 640mb (Directx 10 compaltible)
Intel Xeon 4 core 4.0Ghz 2800mhz Chage
25gb HDD
7.1 Sound card
2x2gb 800mhz ram
i'm coming close to that and btw :SÂ intel Xeon 4 core 4.0Ghz 2800mhz Chage :S
its 4,0ghz or 2,8ghz not both :S
-
if you wanna know if you come close to running GTAIV on PC...open up SA and turn everything up...put all your AA power into your little card , and if it lags, you will NOT run GTAIV
-
yeah, but the videocards in the xbox360 do not support DX10

long story short, you cam emulate a lot of DX10 in DX9 but it wont be true, and the xbox360 will never see directX10
Cause its XNA -.-
Youll never see Sony GU on PC - will you? Fact: XNA has the same functions as directX 10 and renders it the same way - it freeking doesnt matter how you call it...
Oh and for the pc hardware needed - i m sure it will be really high - its still 1 year or sumfin so you cant say which gfx cards etc we will have and i m also quite sure it will require more than 3ghz..
-
aff, for pc it will be released in at LEAST a year, and by then almost everyone will be on vista, and almost everyone will be on DX10. yes, even now they have started making low spec DX10 gfx cards. so the pc port will have, i'm sure, a widely scalable amount of detail and will only be playable with DX10. at the moment the average gaming rig runs a 6600, 3200+ and 512mb of ram. in a year it will probably be a dx10 card that runs at the same speed as a 7950gx2, a cpu the speed of an e6300-400 and 2 gig of ram. so even the average gaming pc in a year should run games like TDU or crysis on a good resolution and with HDR. pcs at the moment are already miles ahead of ps3/xb360; keep that in mind.
-
I think, the GTA4 Graphic don't looks so much better than the Graphic of Half Life 2, and Half Life 2 runs on the highest settings on my PC, so i think, GTA4 will also run on my PC, even if i just can play at the minimal settings.
-
Theres a huge difference in the rendering from GTA and halflife...
GTA has a much bigger view distance etc so you cant really compare both. Also in the lastest games the Rendering only took like 10% of the GPU + 10% CPU power. The rest is spent doing collision checks and other hard math + AI. Its not really what you can see which matters.
-
i play battlefield 2 all settings on full 4xAA 100% draw distance 1280x1024
on a 64 player server no lag at all.
so i think i could possibly play GTA IV maybe not maxed.
but still run it
-
i seriously dont think it will take that much to run GTA4
i do know it will be a RAM heavy game, so 2GB should be perfect for it,
-
i seriously dont think it will take that much to run GTA4

i think its more like a GFXC Heavy game cause HDR is supported and like i see in the game the details are much better the nthe SA ones
but jeah no prob for me and my pc
just like barney doesn't have any problems with running it i guess
-
SA is nothing for my PC, same with CSS
i know i will be running this in full by the time it comes out.
-
i think it wont require a rly powerfull PC...my opinion the specs are gonna be:
CPU:2,4ghz min 3.2max
RAM 512MB min 1024 max
GRAPX:ATI radeon (direct x9c capable) and maybe with pixel shader 2.0 aaaand 128mb min
that what i think of...like there were hundreds of games that i was expecting and they had "friggin awesome graphixxx" like Medieval 2 total war...i tought it will never run..and i can run it the high quality without the lagg:Dso...we'll c if there will even be a PC version..(I HOPE IT'LL BE)
-
only 12 mb space disck
64 mb Ram
8 Mb video
and a AMD 2.4
