I get the feeling this game will be as huge as GTA IV was at least 14Gigs.

Out on Steam in the US.

( http://store.steampowered.com/app/12220/ , Steam install 12220 might work in other areas for those buying it, unsure what DRM it'll use, probably the same, LIVE, SecuROM and RGSC.)

From that page is says "Hard Drive: 16GB of Hard Disc Space" which should be fairly accurate as Steam installs the data directly.
(8 GB per game if they're stand-alone from each other as well perhaps?)

No purchase button on Steam for me, release is in two days. Not available in my region then?

Though I guess there's no reason to buy it unless they've fixed the engine.

The standalone Episodes From Liberty City is now available to purchase on Steam in North America. Priced $29.99/€29.99/£19.99, the addon includes two new campaigns and three new radio stations.


When will Steam and other publishers stop ripping off their Euro-using customers? Protest by pirating!!!!

$29.99 = €22 with todays rate. They're stealing another €8 / $10 for no reason.

Dollar I don't even give a shit about. That could be explained by EU <> US. But the fact that the UK price is fine is what pisses me off really Sad

How do you know that they will work? There's no confirmation on this yet.

I think you've gotten a bit more spoiled than you should. Patience, my friend.

How would a clone work?

It uses the same stuff as GTA 4. Smile
(SecuROM online activation launcher exe probably with triggers as well and Rockstar Games Social Club, although that's not a problem as such, along with Windows LIVE though I'm unsure if it requires unique keys or if old ones will work.)

A crack would be needed for that SecuROM EXE in order for it to work.
(And then you have those triggers to deal with as there's probably some.)


EDIT: For the main game and part of what's in here.

Hм, so according to the comments there, the patch made the shadows look good, but performance has suffered badly... Sad

Why are you complaining? The patch fixes the game in my opinion! So there should be better preformance.

I dont know... even though console´s video cards are shitty, their cpu is quite powerful compared to a medium-end pc.

You can't compare the X360 CPU to a modern PC CPU. Although it has three cores at 3,2 GHz they are less efficient then a i7. Consider how CPU performance has improved at the same clock speed between Core, Core2 and i7 - the X360 cores have been designed to be less efficient but cheaper to produce so the console can be sold at 300€ at launch, maybe even less efficient then the old Intel Core series.

What really matters is optimization. The console versions were hand optimized for the hardware.
...and the X360 GPU was actually more advanced then the PC GPUs available at the end of 2005 because it used prototype technology by ATI Wink

Reports so far say that the new shadow settings kinda halves the previous patch performance results but the extra stuff do look very nice at least. Smile

Also this restricts modding somewhat but doesn't lock it out, mostly about securing MP so more mods will probably be incompatible with it and as usual all current tools will need to be updated, some authors behind them like Alexander Blade is still around whereas say creators behind utilities like XliveLess or various ASI or script loaders haven't been heard from in a while.
(Trainers and similar stuff like first person mode and more advanced things so a lot is currently on hold until some stuff is updated or so, some already are like mod package tools and similar.)

The guy behind ENB went a bit crazy from this patch as well and blames Rockstar for poor support and bad work and has stopped his work on it, although various fan made configs and other mods make it work somewhat with the new patch.

(I guess MP itself will soon be hacked again as it seems to be somewhat of a sport to some, unfortunate as the MP would be fine without people always abusing script mods to spawn stuff and cheat which has gone a bit over-board lately apparently based on recent forum discussions.)

I've no plans to reinstall GTA IV and get the addons that way, will get the stand-alone retail version instead.
(Kicking out Rockstar Social Club requirements is a step in the right direction, SecuROM is OK and can be cracked once the triggers are found, perhaps a few crackfixes might be needed as well haha, and maybe the old "leaked" launcher still works that removes that disc check annoyance if it's still in place, mostly used visual mods and that first person camera script myself so it's not a huge concern about modifications, trainers and enb were fun to play around with though but won't be missed that much, heh.)

Unlikely that the leaked launcher will work since the launcher has been updated this time. It includes the Social Club now.
