Awesome.

Can't wait to try the multiplayer.
 
Already played this game to death on the console. I'll probably pick it up if any really good mods come out.
 
Awesome. Three months seems a bit of a wait but then again, there's other stuff to keep me busy till then.
 
Yep, got the 360 version, about half way through, but the PC versions are always better, so I'll be picking up this one.
 
Excellent. This and Left 4 Dead make November an excellent month.

Hopefully it will be on Steam, then I buy.
 
Yay!

Can't wait. I don't have any consoles, so this is very good news.
 
As always, i am going to trade the console version towards the PC one. I Am sure the modding community can't wait to get their hands on this game. Look at all the multiplayer mods currently available for Vice City and San Andreas. Hopefully we'll see more co-op oriented material from the mod teams.
 
I'll probably be buying this again, enhanced graphics, (hopefully) enhanced performance and community content make it worth my while. I'll be buying a 360 controller so use with the PC, since screw mouse and keyboard with GTA.
 
Sweet, just when I predicted as well.

OMG just when i was losing hope. Finally i can experience this game and see if it was worth the fuss and perfect scores. I haven't seen any videos or touched the game yet, i feel all tingly. Any news on the possibility of a Steam version?

Must buy!...
 
Seriously? You'll have no analogue control for driving. It may be far better for shooting, but most time in GTA is spent driving and you'll totally lack precise control. You're either turning, or not. Screw. That.

Driving in the previous GTAs wasn't hard at all with a mouse and keyboard.
 
Driving in GTA games on the PC using mouse and keyboard is so much better than a gamepad, you can look where you want without having to worry about the oversensitivity of the camera on the analogue sticks , and shoot dead on.
 
It's not really 'turning or not' with a KB. You let go of the button, and the wheels gradually return to position. So if you tap it to the left about twice a second, it will be like in between full left and going straight. Change the speed of the tap to turn less or more.

I didn't have any problems with it for GTA - San Andreas, but I'm sure they can successfully port the 360 controls to the PC and I'd probably use my 360 pad. I think I'd prefer precise analog steering over an awesome camera. And I'll have a choice, which is great.

Weapon aiming was awesome as shit with a mouse though. I may try to use the joystick with my left hand and the mouse with my right. Unfortunately I'm not too optimistic since it didn't work that well in San Andreas.
 
You know, I really feel it's missing something. Something has gone from the series that was there with 3, VC and SA, and it was such a damper on the experience for me.

I always turn with a handbrake, so screw you and your analogue sticks.

I agree with this. For some odd reason, I didn't enjoy it as much as SA.

I also agree. I found it pretty OK, but that's it.
