Microsoft launched a mini-site for Grand Theft Auto IV's downloadable content for the Xbox 360 last night. On it they included three screenshots of The Lost and Damned which we haven't seen before.
Within days of the PC release - even with all problems people having been experiencing, the modding community has already started work on release and working on mods for the game, we have a few in our database already ready for you to download:-
Today, Grand Theft Auto returns to the platform on which it was birthed. The long-awaited arrival of Grand Theft Auto IV on the PC platform is here.
PC gamers, you could be playing within a matter of minutes by downloading your digital copy directly right now from Steam and Direct2Drive.
Grand Theft Auto IV arrives for PC bringing with it everything that made the original release one of the most acclaimed videogame smash hits of all time... and adding stunningly detailed, high-res graphics optimized for the latest and greatest Personal Computers, 32-player multiplayer modes with Custom Match features, and the all-new custom mp3 radio station, Independence FM.
With the new release, there have been talks of 'issues' with the shadows in the PC version. I have not been personally been able to test this issue as of yet, but a friend of GTA 4 HQ has. The image of the shadows is below - click it to see the actual problem properly.
Our frequent forum members would of known that we had planned to upgrade our forums hence them being down for around the last 2weeks - now the forums have been upgraded to the latest version of the popular forum software IP.Board along with a very powerful integrated download database meaning you are able to comment / rate / rant about any mods/downloads.
Unforuntely we decided is was best to start a clean as our database was very heavy of old crap to be honest, so people you'll have to re-register but it only takes 2mins :) and its well worth it...
As always I MASSIVE THANKS to Griff as the forums wouldnt look as awesome without him - again HUGE THANKS for helping transfering the Download DB too bud ;) I owe you several beers!!
I wont talk too much as you peeps have to check out the new FORUMS and please post feedback!
IGN have put up their preview for GTAIV PC & Rockstar has confirmed the delay of the PC release of Grand Theft Auto IV, reflected on retailers' sites earlier this week. The game has been pushed from November 18th to December 2nd. The developer did not cite particular reasons for the hold up, reports IGN, but we can assume it's due in part to typical, last minute bug squashing and system optimization. On that note, Rockstar did finally release official system specs: Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows Vista (Service Pack 1) / XP (Service Pack 3)
GTA: Chinatown Wars screenshots have been published in EDGE magazine. Go here to check out the screens as well as a lot of information on the upcoming Nintendo DS title.
The R* Social Club received a minor update last night.
There is a virus sweeping through Grand Theft Auto IV turning many unsuspecting players into Zombies. If you’ve seen the special Zombie-with-yellow-briefs player skin running around during Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer, then you may already know that the virus can be contracted in any and all multiplayer modes and is spread when an unsuspecting player kills someone who has the infection (note that the infected don’t necessarily have to be wearing the Zombie skin, some show no symptoms!). The signs of infection are: access to the zombie skin and having the Achievement “Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie”. With the all-new Viral Infection feature at the Rockstar Social Club, members can now see whether they are currently infected, the number of total global infections and the number of infections in the last 24 hours. Digging deeper, Social Club members can also browse a color-coded world map tracking the spread of the infection worldwide, including breakdown for all 50 US States.
