LA Noire listed for the PC on the ESRB website

Is anyone else feeling really happy or really scared considering the GTA IV port? :P

i still dont really understand all the hate for the PC port of GTA4. maybe im just really lucky but the game has been problem free for me. on my old rig it ran pretty well (crushing the consoles if were to use that as a benchmark) and on mittens it runs very nicely at high settings with a long draw distance. it was something more approaching a proper PC port also...not just a quick and dirty job. it was very scalable, it had new art assets added and its shadowing system was overhauled after release. yknow...some actual proper upgrades that put the hardware to good use. rockstar also did a great job with long term patch support for the PC. they were certainly far superior in this regard compared to GTA3. not only did they fix bugs but they also improved things like shadows and providing more setting to change so people could fine tune better. GTA games are always demanding...there not just some little corridor shooter with a draw distance measured in CM. they have a hell of a lot of stuff going on in the background and masses of things to draw. considering it was an upgrade from its console counterpart its requirements were not unreasonable. imho they only got 4 things wrong with the port. - no official mod support. - installs a lot of crud like the social club (which is removed with the latest patch). - a bit buggy at launch. its recieved much love since then though. - limiting your settings to the amount of ram on your GPU (a system which can be easily disabeled). as for LA Noire....if its good ill pick it up.osan0

@osan0 I have the same opinion as you,regarding GTAIV.The game on PC was far,far superior in performance & graphics when compared to the console version...And i also never had any issue with the game regarding bugs or performance...Ofc i couldnt max out the graphic settings but with the settings i had the game looked 10x better than the console version...and the fps where above 45-50 average...So yeah i never understood why people call it a "bad port"...coz in reality is only "a port" a "good port" i might add...

No it isn't. /threadGeneralShowzer

^ This, I don't see the PC mentioned anywhere in the ESRB rating for LA Noire. It clearly states the platforms for the game are the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Now if you are saying the PC was there then obviously it was a mistake on the ESRB's part and they have corrected it.

I wouldn't hold my breath for LA Noire to come to the PC, it is pretty clear that Rockstar no longer has any interest in producing games for the PC. So if you want to play Rockstar games you will have to invest in a console.

Actually, they removed the PC version on the ESRB rating content, sorry about that.

Already have it pre-ordered on the PS3.

I would prefer to play it on the PC, but that's what consoles are for.

Only platforms l see are Xbox and Playstation.

Maybe it was a mistake :cry:

I have the same opinion too. I never had any problems with GTAIV ad i thaught it was a great port.

GTA 4 had its graphical glitches in the beginning but it was playable, but now with all the patches out I barely notice any problems.

It will come but not for 6+ months

I dont see it there, oh well. PC isnt going to get every single game. I mean would you trade lets say diablo 3 for this? And if you really want it, the ps3 is a good blu-ray player and has enough games not on pc to be worth looking into.

Did you guys read what I said on my previous post? It was removed, it was probably a mistake. Sorry :?

You might want to edit your original post to reflect the new info and if possible edit the title. I don't create many new topics on here myself so I don't know if you can edit your own title, if not pm a mod and ask for a title change. You have to remember the majority of people don't read every post in a thread, they give the first post a quick read (if you are lucky) and then dive straight in.

Actually, I do have gigantic issues with GTA IV, the game runs at an average 25-15 FPS on my rig, and it's not that weak.

key to a smooth GTA4:

- run patch 1.0.4

- stop turning the sliders all the way up

- remove Windows LIVE

You never know, but they chose a pretty bad time to release it, if they delay it further it might get even worse.DanielDust
