GTA IV DEC 2

At long last, the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 4 will be released tomorrow - so get your trigger fingers ready!

It's hard to stay mad at Rock Star Games.  Sure, they released GTA IV for the Xbox last April, but they also made GTA Vice City, one of the best games of all time.  If that weren't enough, the PC version of GTA IV has perks that our console-playing brethren just don't have! 

First, the game will just look so much better (I know, surprise surprise.)  It includes enhanced draw distance and traffic density controls.  Second, it will include the replay editor, allowing players to record in game clips, edit them and save them to .wmv files.  I've already posted about it, but dayum, this sounds cool!  If players can find a way to make Spore naughty, I shudder at the thought of what they will come up with for this...

I've been purposefully avoiding the Xbox version to make sure my game is as fresh as I can get - hopefully in the next couple of days I can get a video up to show you!

I came across this screen at gaf:

The graphics configuration actually tells you how much GPU memory you have and how much the settings you've specified will take. I think thats awesome and more games should utilize it.

By the way, there are reports all over nvnews and neogaf that the performance is terrible in this game. Its unfortunate because it sounded like it was going to be a more complete version of the game. :(
