Posted by jallar at 17:22. Category: General

The first details and screenshots of the PC version of GTA IV have emerged online today. Features revealed include a replay editor, better search options for matches online, the ability to play with a controller instead of keyboard and mouse (for all the masochists out there) and of course polished visuals worthy of the platform. Oh, and also fingerless gloves.

* The number of multiplayer slots may be expanded for the PC version (16 is the limit for the console versions).
* The maximum resolution is 2560x1600.
* Players can record 30 second clips and then they can add filters and adjust the camera angle using the replay editor. They can also paste clips together and then upload them to R* Social Club for others to view online.
* Players can search for multiplayer games more specifically (e.g. a deathmatch with pistols only).
* The Xbox 360 controller is compatible with the PC version.

Posted by jallar at 22:40. Category: General

According to videogaming247 the PC version of GTA IV is to be shown at Games Convention in Leipzig. Given the location and PC focus of the event it's hardly surprising, but this is the first time it's been confirmed by any source.

VG247 has learnt from a source close to Rockstar that the PC version of GTA IV will be shown behind closed doors at Games Convention next week.

No clue on specifically what’s to be shown, but expect the first pieces to pop up after the show.

GC’s looking quite hot this year, innit?

Social Club Update - The Millionaires Club Launch
Posted by adamcs at 19:08. Category: General
Millionaires Club

Rockstar Games today launched the Millionaires Club - "recognizing and celebrating all of the wealthy seven–figure Grand Theft Auto IV players at the Rockstar Games Social Club." Millionaire status is determined by totaling all of the money you've ever earned in single–player–mode from completing missions, winning races, doing vigilante side–jobs, and fortuitously picking up ‘dropped’ money in the street.

If you would like to see just how rich your fellow Millionaires are, you can mouse over each for a quick glimpse of their lifetime single–player money earned. With three leaderboards ranked by who’s become a Millionaire first, who’s done it quickest, and who is the richest in the City.

And also coming soon to Social Club... the Viral Infection "zombie feature." Sounds interesting, more info coming soon we're told.

New Maps Added
Posted by adamcs at 11:49. Category: Site

We have added all the maps that feature on "whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com" to our GTA IV Map page. These maps are accessed via the in-game internet and provide locations for flying rats (pigeons), health, armour and weapons amongst other things. We are also presently working on an interactive map similar to the one we made for San Andreas. This map will eventually replace the maps that you see on there at the moment.
