The PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV made its debut at the Leipzing Games Convention in Germany. IGN, among several others who attended the Rockstar Games press event (EuroGamer being one of them), managed to write down several details that were mentioned. As you can read below, there will be some exciting new features in the PC version that were not in the Xbox 360 or PS3 versions.

• The game will be playable with an Xbox 360 controller or keyboard. 
• Graphics will be "polished well beyond what they were on the 360 and PS3".
• A new 30-second replay feature has been added for single player and multiplayer.
• A video editor has been added where you can add different filters and transitions to your clips.
• You will be able to upload your clips to the Rockstar Games Social Club where everyone can watch them.
• There will be more multiplayer options and features that will allow for more game customization.
• And last, but not least, better graphics. The maximum supported screen resolution is 2560x1600.

Rockstar also released 10 new screenshots that we will be adding to our new gallery later tonight. We have added the 10 images to our GTA IV PC gallery.

This article was posted a few days ago, but I thought some of you might enjoy reading it. It's just a random article. You might have done all five of the things on the list, but maybe some of you have missed one or two and want to know how to do them.

Gamesradar: 5 Cool Things You Missed in GTA IV

I bet you are getting sick of reading this just like we are getting sick of typing it, but more updates are coming to the site soon. This time it is different. This will be our final update for a very long time, and it will be a big one. We are going all out and aren't holding back. 

New subdomains will be added to organize our site into different sections. For example, the GTA IV section will be located at: gta4.gta-division.com. Each section of our site will also have it's own personal look that represents each game.

And as we promiss every single time, more content will be added to the site. You should start noticing the changes soon.

We thought the day would never come, but it has. Grand Theft Auto IV has been officially announced for a PC release on November 18th in America and November 21st Europe.

Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto IV will be arriving on the PC on November 18th and 21st in North America and Europe, respectively.    “We are very excited to be releasing the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “The whole team is dedicated to bringing an amazing gaming experience to the PC. The game looks and plays beautifully on PC and we can’t wait for people to play it.” Developed by series creator Rockstar North and set in Liberty City, the latest installment in the enormously successful Grand Theft Auto series features a painstakingly detailed and life-like city for players to explore; a rich, immersive narrative experience; an original soundtrack highlighting the cultural eclecticism of Liberty City; and newly expanded multiplayer just for the PC.

According to the official Grand Theft Auto IV website, more details will be arriving in the coming weeks.

The cover of the new issue of PC Gamer has revealed that Grand Theft Auto IV will soon be coming to PC. On the cover is the all familiar picture of Niko putting on his glove with the GTA IV logo in front of him. Beneath the logo it says, "Now on consoles, soon on PC."

Remember, this is in no way an official confirmation. There has been no press release from Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. There are absolutely no details or anything.

Today during the Nintendo press conference at E3 '08 a new GTA title was announced, "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars."

The game will be exclusively released to the Nintendo DS this Winter.

Here are several key things from the press release sent out by Rockstar Games: "This is a game that will deliver a rich, fast-paced and intense 'Grand Theft Auto' experience that will be truly unique to Nintendo's handheld platform," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "Rockstar Leeds...has built upon a decade of progressive design on Grand Theft Auto, and has created something fundamentally fresh and immersive."

With the use of the DS touch screen, players will navigate their way through the streets as they uncover the truth behind an epic tale of crime and corruption within the Triad crime syndicate...

We do know that the game will be set in modern day Liberty City with all new characters to the GTA franchise.

That's all the information that we know so far, for the official site of Chinatown Wars please visit http://www.rockstargames.com/chinatownwars

We promissed news, rumors, and information to start rolling in soon for the first episode of download content for GTA IV. As promissed, we have a new rumor regarding possible new characters.

According to EGM's Quartermann section in this months issue, a new biker character will be apart of the add-on content. This is just for 360 content, no PS3 content has yet been confirmed.

Straight from EGM:

"Grand Theft Greaser 

If you're worried about Grand Theft Auto IV stealing away your time now, don't expect it to get better soon, thanks to the upcoming exclusive downloadable content hitting the 360. If time is of no concern to you, though, you'll want to hear this one: My Rockstar rumormonger tells me that the GTA4 DLC will star a biker character. This is just for episode 1, too. Who knows what kind of character will debut for episode 2. A Fisherman? Mime? One-Legged American gladiator contestant?"

Tonight, between 10:45 p.m. and midnight Central Time, the site will be going offline to perform maintenance for GTA-Division.com version 4.

This version update will bring a brand new layout with it. We're hopeing this layout will be more appealing. The version 4 site update will also be dragged out over the next month and we will be introducing some new stuff to the site.

We will also be preparing to cover the news for the first episode of downloadable content for GTA IV, cleverly named "Grand Theft Auto IV: Episode 1." We are expecting details to start hitting the internet fairly soon.

The much anticipated first episode of downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto IV has been delayed from it's original August 2008 release.

Take-Two Interactive has released their Second Quarter Fiscal 2008 Financial Report, and one of the topics is of the DLC for GTA IV. Under the "Financial Guidance" section of the report, the first paragraph mentions:

 

"Fiscal 2008 guidance reflects the release of the first installment of episodic content for Grand Theft Auto IV for Xbox 360 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 instead of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 in order to provide a better balance in Take-Two's release schedule."

So basically, the first of 2 pieces of content that is worth $50 million to Microsoft has been delayed to the time period of November 1st, 2008 to January 31st, 2009. So it's anywhere from a 3-month to 6-month delay. This is pretty upsetting considering most of us are getting slightly bored with the game now that we have completed the story missions.

Gamesradar has posted a pretty cool featured article over on their site. It is called "100 Little Things We Love About GTA IV." They really took their time and thought of 100 different tiny aspects of GTA IV that make it so realistic.

A few of our favorites:

• 16) Shouting stuff like “Yellow car!” when hailing a cab while drunk - he’s foreign after all
• 24) Radio news matching internet news matching stuff you’ve seen happen in the game world
• 41) Giving homeless people money
• 48) Beat-up cars backfire
• 56) The preacher outside your second safehouse in Bohan
• 68) Taking a helicopter tour
• 69) Jumping out of the helicopter tour
• 95) Zombies in Liberty City
