[CaptainStacks]

I'm excited for the added video editor in the PC version of GTA4.

Updated release date according to http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/#?page=pc is

North American release date : 2nd December 2008

European release date: 3rd December 2008

Which means its out now. (only just realised it's the 4th December, whoops )

Word on the street says that it's a pretty buggy release.

It's buggy bigtime, does NOT work with ATI cards at all. Does NOT work with latest nvidia drivers (180.48), the DRM is over the top annoying... crashes to desktop, refuses to run... sucks I was so looking forward to it.

When they try so hard to prevent piracy that it prevents legit purchases from working, it's a problem.

[infiniti25]

I heard they spent over 200,000 ($ or £) on those anti-piracy measures....so how has it helped their situation?

I also hear it is not smooth on hardware that runs crysis.

I won't be going near it because Securom is involved and I dont want that crap near my machine.

there are ways to get around that but for me the big problem is the specs requirement. My laptop is HP 9540us with GeForce m8600GS and it's pretty laggy at the lowest setting. not really playable.

i'm averaging like 20-25gps with a 4870 1GB and Q6700... there is definitely something wrong here.

crysis runs better than this game, now that's saying something.

[CaptainStacks]

My only hope is that Rockstar releases patches making this game worthwhile, and not just abandoning now that it's already out the door.

[wcology]

if not there should be 3rd party graphics patches like they did a HD patch for Need for speed undercover.

crysis runs better than this game, now that's saying something.

And they're suprised why people don't buy this crap.

God, that's horrible.

I bought Xbox last year, just because of it

Add-on is pretty great too, just finished it a couple of days ago.

May be it will be out for PC in 2010 lol

They are killing PC gaming...
