GTA IV Headed to PC in November

Rockstar announces that its blockbuster smash hit is headed to Windows.

US, August 6, 2008 - Rockstar has announced that Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC will ship on November 18 in North America and November 21 in Europe and Australia, approximately six months after the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions smashed sales records with sales of $500 million in the first week.

 

This news wasn't entirely unexpected; previous GTA games have been ported over to the PC, and the series itself began only on the PC. Speculation ramped up in recent weeks, though, especially after industry ratings organization ESRB listed Grand Theft Auto IV and Bully: Scholarship Edition, another Rockstar game, for the "Windows PC" platform. The ESRB then updated the list to remove those citations.

 

Grand Theft Auto IV is the latest in the popular, open-world crime saga. In this game, you play as Eastern European immigrant Niko Belic as he attempts to make it in Liberty City, which is basically a stand-in for New York City. The console versions were universally praised by critics, and the game averages a 9.4 and a 9.5 on GameStats for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, respectively.

That should please many people without a doubt.

 

Also, on the subject of GTA, I wish I still had my Nintendo DS... They announced GTA: Chinatown Wars at E3. I'd love to have a go at that.

Hope the port is quality. San Andreas was, but I don't know about this one... I'll probably download it first then buy it. Unless it scores absolutely killer.
