A few days ago Rockstar Games made PC gamers happy with the official announcement that their open world action game Grand Theft Auto IV would be ported over to our platform this fall. Now Gamespot has the first real details on the port as they got to see a demo of the game at Games Convention.

As expected the PC port will have some enhanced graphical features compared to its console counterparts with resolutions up to 2560x1600 supported along with increased draw distances. It will also have a new replay feature that will let players chop and edit 30 second game replays. New multiplayer modes and features were hinted at but so far no details have been announced.

Kinda wish I'd held back on buying a PS3 now. I paid £40 for the inferior version and I don't even have a HDTV.Posted at 4:42PM on Aug 20th 2008 by Haggard

^ That is the beauty of getting the PC version though as you know that the pointless hanging out with friends will be modded immediately once the community gets their hands on the game.

I had a good 15 hours of fun with the 360 version no doubt but I plan on selling it once the PC version is out. The PC has always had the best versions of the GTA games I highly doubt that 4 will be any different.
