5 Reasons Why GTA IV Will Be Better on the PC

Silviu Stahie writes:

''There is a pandemic going around in the world and it's called the GTA IV bug. I don't want to be misunderstood, I really liked this latest title from Rockstar but I feel that all the editors in the world, with very few exceptions, are attending group therapy in a brothel. I also don't want to imply there's a black contract between the publishers and all the major gaming sites (maybe that's a good idea for another time) because the purpose of this article is entirely different.''

One big reason it won't:

Cheating in multiplayer.

Still, it would be nice to get that much closer to the Rockstar's true vision for GTA4 with the PC hardware to back it up. I might even consider buying it again, if it does ever come out.

I love GTA4, but it's clear how much more graphical potential it would have on the PC.

not really... cheating online on GTA4 isn't a big deal for me as a PC gamer... games like Crysis and COD4 is different, since they reward you (kinda)

5 reasons why GTA4 will be superior for PC:

1. Modding
2. Mods
3. Moding
4. Mods
5. Modding

1.2 - If the graphics of GTAIV

...is as good as it gets on the PS3 for this type of game then I am utterly disappointed. Given all the power the PS3 is supposed to pack I was actually hoping to see a real big difference between the PS3 and 360 versions of the game.

Sure the game looks good and is a hell of a lot of fun to play, but blue-Ray has resulted in no added benefit for the game nor has all the hype surrounding the cell. So again, is this the best the PS3 can do???

As for on-line multiplayer, if people wish to cheat to play GTAIV on-line then be my guest. GTAIV multiplayer is uninspired and will not have a huge following such as the likes of Halo 3 or COD4.

I can't believe he tried to argue the controls as a plus for pc. Without a dualshock, or hell any gamepad, it just don't feel right.

It is horses for courses. I am playing GTA 4 with a controller and personally I feel this game would be massively better with a mouse to aim with, instead of the retarded, out of date auto-aim and manual aim that is so slow as to be practically useless.

3 - Another good reason why its better on PC

BECAUSE OF PIRACY!
I hope Rockstar doesnt bring it to PC until they can be sure that pirates wont make them lose money.
Plus, GTA aint the same unless you play it with a controller on a 72 inch HDTV XD

Yeah because Piracy doesn't happen on the consoles does it ..... Oh wait it does, the game was out for nearly a week on torrent sites before the game officially came out. As for your 72" TV, you can of course connect a PC to your TV and enjoy PROPER natively rendered 1080p graphics instead of 640/720p upscaled.

Rockstar said nothing of the sort. If you are referring to whatifgaming that has been debunked. The official line from Rockstar when asked about the PC version is "no comment". I of course would be very interested in any information and proof you may have regarding this mythical statement though.

PC doesnt do third person to well and the online cheater will rule the game, but at least it will look better on a PC.

9 - captain obvious

first they denied that the game comes to PC (*LOL*) of course GTA IV will come to PC an sell a few million copies extra.

second it's absolutely clear that the PC version will be superior, just like ANY version of GTA before was better on PC... but c'mon you can't beat the feeling of playing with a PS3 or Xbox 360 controller and that's why it's better on consoles gameplay-wise.

10 - I wonder how many PC users will actually purchase the game and not illegally download it?

The game will not sell a fraction of the number as consoles. What incentive is there to even release it? Also, GTA games have been selling fewer...and fewer copies every new iteration. Downloadable content released for free on the PC?...that's quite the pipe dream. Granted the graphics will be superior...who cares? All but the best computers will be able to play it on MAX setting. It already looks good, and plays good; only the biggest graphics whores will care about "minor" improvements. Consoles as a beta argument is laughable at best. I would rather play the game first, with a controller, and with the knowledge that cheating won't be running riot. Also, unless your big into PC gaming (all 10 of you) who cares about modding? Take 2 should release the game only on Steam and skip brick and mortar retail. Superior version? I'll pass...

Update: I understand my comments are inflammatory but I was pissed off at the article. I welcome a rebuttal. Also, I have a cousin who is hardcore into PC gaming and his uppity, PC gaming is the best attitude sucks. I think I might be speaking the mind of a few console centric gamers. Nothing personal PC gamers.
