Well it's in the trailer. Using a phone now to post so won't go into details. Check the link. It's announced for next gen consoles too but I'm not interested in them.

I heard the PC for the last game wasn't that good (didn't play, only played the console version...and didn't really care about it overall). Will the PC version of this game be playable? =P

running quite decent on my low end rig and def playable, granted i have very low standart on what acceptable so...

My PS3 copy is still rotting away somewhere, just couldn't get into it.

Did took long enough. =)

Both the PS3 versions and PC versions of GTA4 were utter shite. You can tell that 360 was the lead platform as it was the only console on which it didn't run at sub-20fps with a shitty framebuffer, and the PC version was a nightmare as well.

I'd held out on a PS3 purchase to see what would happen re: a PC/PS4 version. Good news for gamers all round then. My PC purchase would have depended on how the DRM looked, but since I no longer have a viable gaming PC anyway, PS4 it is for me.

I got the Complete Edition (IV + EFLC) just recently (a couple of weeks ago). It's true that is not a perfect port, and actually quite "meh"... I had to do some things to fix the game, like manually adding some commands by setting a file, enabling some type of anti-aliasing (the game doesn't have that option) by using injectSMAA (which by the way, does a really good job with the less performance hit vs. the other known graphical fixes for the game). I also had to overwrite a couple of files with modded files to fix a water effect that wasn't working properly (the sea looked like transparent jelly).

As for the DRM, to bypass the installation of GFWL I had to edit the registry, and to completely avoid it by using XLiveLess. Besides that, I have now SecuROM in my PC, and also have to always deal with Rockstar Social that prompts you to log-in into their network everytime you launch the game, even when you play offline the single player campaign (you don't have to log-in, but you have to cancel that everytime you want to play the games).

The performance is not good. You'll get a ton of screen tearing, so you have to enable V-Sync. The problem is, is not a perfect V-Sync, just a frame limiter. For example, if your monitor has a refresh of 60 Hz, this "V-Sync" limits the frames up to 56 per second and it doesn't show more than that, even though if you had much more than 60 FPS with that V-Sync disabled... And you better disable the video recording in the options to improve the performance (the game constantly saves the last 30-60 seconds of your gameplay, so when you hit [F2], it creates a video file for you to edit later.

If you're using XLiveLess, you have to start the game directly from the main EXE launcher (you can create a shortcut) and not from the Steam client, or later 1-2 minutes in the game, you will get chopped frames and camera issues. Essentially, you won't need Steam to run the game (I play it with the client closed).

At least they're playable... (:P). I also had the games on Xbox 360 and on PC they look much better. With better definiton and colors. But I don't recommend modding the games, or you will get a lot of crashes, especially if you add cars into the game. So in case someday you get the games, avoid doing that. Scripts are okay. And remember to save often!

PC version was laggy and also used a very bland colour palette

The game doesn't use GFWL's DRM. You can bypass GFWL's online functionality entirely by creating an offline profile, and GFWL would never have connected online. That being said, for those of a antagonistic disposition towards GFWL, yes, XLiveLess works very well indeed.

SecuROM was the only DRM in the game, and it's fairly easy to remove (one DLL plus licence information in your registry).

I played alot of GTA 1 when it first came out, but must admit i havent really touched the rest of the series since then. The theme just isnt really top interesting to me.

I bought the complete edition or some such last christmas i think - but havent had the time to install any yet. I think I should finally install one in summer vacation and try to play it with sort of speedrun attitude and see if they are still any fun.

Not surprised, but it is good to have an official announcement so console fanboys and PC elitists can stop having childish fights about the game. Actually nevermind, it will still happen. :P

Sure, Saints Row 2 was a really atrocious port, but I don't quite get what trouble people were having with Saints Row 3. Was I lucky to not experience anything weird?

Saints Row 2 was a horrible port, but never heard before that Saints Row: The Third had problems. I can run the game super fine with stable 60 FPS with DX11... (o_O)

Figures right after I get the 360 version. Though I only paid $25 for it and it runs fine when both discs are installed to separate drives. So no big deal for me, I'll consider it when the full game with DLC is cheap.
