The guys over at IGN (http://www.ign.com/) have posted up a new article today discussing the possibilities of GTAIV showing up on PC. Take a look:
Gentlemen, I don't know about you, but I've realized that the rest of the office seems to be suffering from GTA Fever. The Xbox and PlayStation guys are coming in late and leaving early. There are dark circles beneath their eyes, like they're not getting any sleep. And when they are at their desks, there's this nonstop chatter about popping fools and jacking cars. I must admit that we, the PC team, are not immune. Charles and I did buy Xbox 360 copies on Tuesday, though I have not jumped in quite yet.
So there are a few questions I'd like to pose to you. Some of these are questions that our readers have asked, as well. Firstly, do you think the PC will get Grand Theft Auto IV, and if so, when? Also, what would you like to see in a PC version that is unique to the platform?
Here's some background information. Grand Theft Auto began on the PC, but the series didn't really explode until Grand Theft Auto III, which introduced a new 3D engine that brought you into the game rather than give you a top-down, bird's-eye view like the previous two games. GTA III shipped on PS2 on October 22, 2001. The PC version was announced on March 25, 2002, and shipped two months later on May 21 and according to NPD, sold more than 400,000 copies.
