Grand Theft Auto IV For PC Early Details

Leipzig Games Convention [http://www.rockstargames.com], showing off improved graphics, optimized control schemes and more.

Steve Hahnel of Rockstar claimed the game's visuals would be "polished well beyond what they were on the Eurogamer [http://www.xbox.com] says some work remains to be done, describing Niko moving down stairs as though he's got a "wonky" ankle.

Another new addition to the game is the "replay editor," a Rockstar Social Club [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiVo].

Changes to multiplayer action are also being implemented, including the addition of filters that will allow for more control over the types of games players take part in. Hahnel added that Rockstar is "expanding" upon the current Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer options, although he wouldn't offer any specifics.

The game will support both Xbox 360 controllers as well as a more PC-conventional mouse-keyboard setup, and Hahnel said there is still "a lot of polishing and cleaning" to be done before the game is released. Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC is set to launch on November 24.

Well, good news for PC gamers.

Let's leave it at that, shall we?

Gotta say, my favourite piece of news there was the 30 second action replay thing, I don't want to play any game with FRAPS or the like constantly in the background, in case something cool happens, but damn, ever since GTA3 there's been legendary moments, so it'll be nice to be able to capture them and share them with others.

Well, would it be too hard to offer this "improved multiplayer" to console players, just one patch and the game would be great again. I am probably asking too much though.
