To those getting their hopes up for big graphical improvements and bug fixes in Grand Theft Auto IV on PC: you may want to lower your expectations! German gaming site 4Players.de got a peek at IV PC during Games Convention in Leipzig and saw that not much has changed. As they watched a developer play the mission

"Three Leaf Clover," 4Players noticed that the biggest improvement for the PC version of GTA IV is the high resolution (maximum 2560x1440 pixels). Even this comes with its drawbacks as it allows you to see some of the game's poorer textures. They mention it's a pity Rockstar Games hasn't made very many technical improvments, but they still believe there is no doubt the game will be a hit.

Grand Theft Auto IV PC Release**

89 Days Left till on PC

Microsoft has issued a statement at the Leipzig Games Convention that the first of two downloadable episodes for GTA IV is still coming and scheduled for release this autumn (fall).

"In autumn there will be news from Liberty City; the first episodes of GTA IV will be available for download exclusively on Xbox LIVE, underlining Xbox 360's leadership role in the field of digital entertainment."

No other details were provided, but hopefully we will learn more in these coming months.

IGN has got their first look at the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV at the Leipzig Games Convention. Here's a a few details I've gathered from the article.

1. * Support for both gamepad and keyboard/mouse play.
2. * More multiplayer features such as search filters to find your ideal match.
3. * Sharper graphics; the maximum supported screen resolution is 2560x1600.
4. * 30 seconds replays will return for both single and multiplayers.
5. * The game will feature a montage video editor where you can add different filters and transitions. From there you will be able to upload it to the Rockstar Games Social Club where it can be viewed by all.

Ten screenshots have also been revealed, which are all located in my new GTA IV PC Album as well:
