    You can pre-order on Play.com for €34.99 right now, haven't check any other places.

    *wipes tear from eye* I knew they wouldn't forget their roots.

    I'm almost sorry I borrowed a PS3 and played it through. I'll still buy it, I rushed through the PS3 version and didn't do allot of the side missions.

    Don't know how they'll handle the driving though, you may need a x box controller on top of the keyboard mouse to get the best out of it.

    Its going to be fairly high, but probably not Crysis like :pac:. Any recent pc at a good spec should have no problems running it. As with all GTA games post console the resolution can be set higher and a few pieces of extra eye candy can be enabled like AA, extra bloom etc.

    But that all depends on the port being ready and playable without many bugs on launch. I hear they are enabling proper controllers this time after the farce that was San Andreas. 360 controller will probably work without much config, but id rather my PS3 controller tbh.

    The multiplayer, as far as is known, will be much the same, which IMO is a big mistake. I think we have all imagined a sandbox universe MMO that we could all develop property, gangs, sell drugs and rob banks etc with not a single NPC. But eventually someone with a bit of skillz should make that a reality and maybe extend the city a bit. Game needed to evolve like this after the user created MP for San Andreas. It was the next step....

    Dev kit is unlikely, but we can all dream. But at least they gave us "replays" and video editors that can only upload to the Rockstar Social Club..... :rolleyes:

    I just saw on Kotaku that it's being released under the "games for windows" system 'exclusively' so we might end up with xbox-type online.

    Will everybody be sticking to mouse and keyboard for this game?

    The joypad was great for in car but it might be a pain to keep switching between keyboard and joypad every time you get out of the car.

    Eh... there's either Windows or some Nix variation on a PC, so the "games for windows" really does mean f**k all.

    I hate steam ever since HL2. I didn't have a broadband connection at the time and now have a completely useless HL2 disk lieing around somewhere. Never got to play the game properly. Complete waste of my money.

    Will there be any new content in the PC version of GTA4?

    You should give Steam (and HL2) another chance. It's come on a lot since it's launch. It was a bit disastrous to launch the service at exactly the same time as one of the most anticipated games however!

    Maybe, I have a broadband connection now, I didn't have at the time of purchasing. I changed Email address and everything now I did try about a year ago but I could barley find the information on how to get HL up and running again never mind get it done I gave up in the end.
