    Just curious how many people are as excited about this game as I am. I have played each game in the series and it is one of my all time favorite series. Has anyone else preordered it or excited about this game?

    Yeah...GTA IV is not coming to the PC in a looooooong time...and when it comes out...bet there are going to be better games on PC, so why bother?

    RockStar has apparently abandoned their PC fans (considering the fact that their earlier realeases are exclusively for PCs....) and are moving towards the counsels...how sad...

    I reckon they would want it out by this time next year, maybe earlier,
    at least they have managed to drop the sony ps exclusivity that they had with prior releases.

    and while better games (eye candy wise) may be out
    its the whole playability and freedom that gta gives you that makes it a great game

    thats why I still play san andreas :)

    p.s. they launched their catalogue through steam, so theywill end up with a tangible userbase on there alone!

    I can't wait, I stopped playing San andreas when it was included in a chain of events that killed my windows install twice...

    GTA V will be exclusive for PS3, it has been confirmed.
    So far there have been no announcements GTA IV for PC.

    I ordered my GTA IV for PS3 a few weeks ago, though I just did so a friend of mine could play it. ~

    True games can use both controllers and keyboard and mouse effectively.

    I have a friend who uses a ball scroll mouse thing.

    And he pwns.

    Don't blame consoles if your skills are gimp.
