Re: GTA 4 PC delayed in India

Turok took up the maximum space on my HDD. It consumed around 15 Gigs. This is ballistic if it takes upto 18Gb of space.

Re: The Official GTA 4 PC Thread

For anyone still thinking to pirate this game:
Rockstar has released a FAQ regarding the copy protection that will be used in the PC version of GTA 4, here are the details

* Activation via Internet (1x per system, no limits, Fallback for systems without web access)
* Copy protection Securom: The original disc is required for playing (Execpt: Download version of GTA 4, for example from Direct 2 Drive)
* Requirements for playing (singleplayer): Games for Windows Live account for saving/achievements (1x free creation), original disc, Securom runs in the background
* Requirements for playing (multiplayer): Active internet connection, Games for Windows Live account, For uploading videos: Rockstar Social Club Account.
*
* If you don't have web access or don't want to connect your gaming PC to the Internet, Rockstar wants to offer a not yet specified system to activate GTA 4 via another PC with web access. Details are supposed to be available on launch.
* For the normal GTA 4 (PC) version with disc installation, activations are unlimited. But the original disc is required for playing.
* This does not apply for legally downloaded versions of GTA 4: Depending on the vendor the following is possible: Five parallel installations with the possibility to revive a "free” installation, if an old installation is deleted. For this purpose the customer has to have web access with the PC GTA 4 is installed on.
* Those playing GTA 4 with an illegally hacked version have, according to Rockstar, to fear that the game will not be fully playable.
* If you change two major components of your PC (like the graphics card or the CPU), you will possible have to reactivate GTA 4.

Re: The Official GTA 4 PC Thread

AFAIK securom protection was in bioshock(along with internet activation), alone in the dark, farcry2, fallout 3, spore and some other games which I think a huge population played with pirated dvds.

And even in sims 2, the initial cracked copies never allowed the user to create his/her own house but the later cracks found an answer for this question, so even if rockstar did something great to protect their game from piracy, that might not hold for long.

"Kane and Lynch" and "Gears of war" also required live membership for submitting high scores but those were not required for saving the gameplay.

I might sound like a hardcore pirate here but if GTA4 comes for INR 499 then woot!. I will but the original.

I just visited the GTA forums & had a look at the screenshots. The draw distance is really poor & it seems to have that same hazy look which Bully suffered from. It's said to be performing very bad on the ATI cards. WTF! :(
