The gang at Shacknews has confirmed that the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV has been delayed until December 2nd. The system requirements have also been listed and the “recommended” specs are about what you would expect:

Look at those specs.

Man...delays, very high requirements, and Obama ads.

I think I will definitely skip this one. The 360 version was enough, even on a regular old tv.

whats with the triple/quad-core recommendation??

**adri1456** · #5 10-31-2008, 01:01 PM

Alright! A reason to upgrade!

(I really don't care about other PC-based games anyway)

I'll stick to Fallout 3.

Cool, I can play the WoW expansion until Dec 3. Does anyone know if GTA IV is using SecuRom, I am having trouble playing games with SecuRom.

**jonneymendoza** · #8 10-31-2008, 01:18 PM

what kinds of trouble?

**AthlonXP** · #9 10-31-2008, 01:26 PM

no biggie, I have other games to play in the mean time.

**Vzylexy** · #10 10-31-2008, 01:51 PM

My P4 Northwood is crying just looking at those specs.

My system is 2 years old now, and I still don't see the necessity of upgrading even for this game. I have a Core 2 Duo@3.2Ghz, 2GB DDR2, and a 8800GTS 640MB. I plan on being able to play this game @ 1440x900 with everything set on at least HIGH. What you guy's think?

**GPUCommando** · #12 10-31-2008, 02:29 PM

Exciting. I love GTA on the PC. Good times.

**Fharakin** · #13 10-31-2008, 02:30 PM

yikes, look at those specs. When Nikko picks up a hooker, I better get multiple camera angles....of wait, you already do, lol.

What's with the quad core req? Will the game actually take advantage of it or is it just to look impressive? In most games a 3ghz duo would beat the heck out of a 2.4ghz quad...

**mr_zen256** · #15 10-31-2008, 03:02 PM

Any word on GTA 4 utilizing DX10?

Cause the 360 is a tripple core and the PS3 has a quad, by chance?

Played it, finished it with both endings, can't be arsed to play it again on another platform.

**Drakan290** · #17 10-31-2008, 03:50 PM

May this actually be a game that takes advantage of multiple cores!?

**Mr. K6** · #18 10-31-2008, 03:59 PM

I don't own a console so I never got to play the game, so I'll definitely pick it up. However, the thing that has me most excited about this game is the multiplayer and its capabilities. The multiplayer mods for Vice City and San Andreas were a TON of fun (100+ player server for SA was awesome), and if the same came can be mimicked or improved with GTA IV, its going to be a big winner. Also good to see that it could have some pretty heavy multi-threading

I'm curious about the video card recommendations...

8600 vs. 3870

I hope it's not because it runs like crap on ATI hardware.

**Serpico** · #20 10-31-2008, 04:39 PM

There are so many games out right now and November hasn't even started (Left 4 Dead, Mirror's Edge, and Prince Of Persia, I'm looking at you), this honestly isn't such a big deal.
