GTA IV for PC has higher resolution and more features, but no hot coffee... Print

gta4boxart.jpgThe latest edition to the often-bashed franchise GTA is hitting PC packed full of new feature, including more multiplayer and a replay editor, so expect to see some funny GTA moments hit YouTube or more lame stunt videos (nobody cares if you hit a ramp and flip your damn car over and land perfectly, it happens to everyone, that's not a stunt)

  

"The overall game will follow the same story as the console version, tracking protagonist Niko Bellic as he descends further into Liberty City's underworld. The nice thing about the PC version is the game will constantly be recording what's going on. So if you pull off a particularly epic car crash or string of kills, you can hit a key to get the game to pull up the last 30 seconds of gameplay either in single or multiplayer modes.

From there it's possible to edit the footage, adding filters, and fades and cut it up wherever you want. You can then take those videos and mash them together in the montage editor, then upload it to the Rockstar Social Club so the community can check it out.

Beyond that, Rockstar mentioned that there'll be better search options for matches online. So if you wanted to find servers where players were only using certain weapon types, you could set a filter for it. As far as improved visuals go, the company said 2560 x 1600 would be the maximum resolution. We'll have to wait to see how well the rest of the graphical package fares in the transition, as the build we were shown still had some rough spots."
