Rockstar Mum On Reports Of Grand Theft Auto IV For PC

Grand Theft Auto IV [http://www.rockstarnorth.com/] will be released by the end of the year.

Reports of a possible PC edition of the game first surfaced in January among French retailers, according to a Take 2 [http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=188021]. The release date is not guaranteed and is open to change."

When contacted by CVG for comment, Rockstar responded with a simple "no comment," but the article points out that Grand Theft Auto III [http://www.rockstargames.com/grandtheftauto3/] and its sequels typically took six to eight months to transition from console to PC, which would fit with a late-2008 release.

Grand Theft Auto IV was released on April 29 to unprecedented levels of praise, achieving perfect review scores from Metacritic [http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/869/869381p1.html]based on 31 reviews, and many analysts have predicted it will be the most successful videogame launch of all time.

Darn it. When I saw the incomplete title on the sites homepage I thought it would be about Zelnick's mum responding to Jack Thompsons letter

and we would all be like .... ahhhhh, so thats where the GTA idea came from

Its worth noting that on Metacritic, many games have had a higher user rating than GTAIV. Currently, such classics as Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and such other underdogs as Shadow of the Colossus retain a higher rating than GTAIV by the community.

Me too! I was praying for her to come out and smack Thompson.

Alpha Centuri was a great game

Until the cloning vats...Can we say "I win!"?

Oh... I get it now. Gah, why must the title contain British slang? I was under the impression The Escapist was an American site.

British 'slang' is the English language the way it's meant to be used, you incoherent cheeseburger-inhaling yanks. </yahtzee>

I don't see British slang in there at all. I see a British spelling, but not slang.

 

[Lord Frunkamunch]

It'd be a case of different spelling if it meant "mother".

But it doesn't.
