"Yeah, f**k all this stuff about casual gaming", was the first words Dan Houser, Vice President of Rockstar Games and co-writer of GTA IV said in his interview with New York Entertainment Magazine. "I think people still want games that are groundbreaking".
"The Wii is doing something totally different, which is fantastic. We're hopefully going to prove that there's also a very big audience for people who want entertainment in another form, who think of games as being a narrative device that can challenge movies", Dan Houser continued expressing his opinion about the gaming industry changes since GTA: San Andreas. "We always said: We're not going release a large number of games. They're going to have the production values of movies. They're gonna be about themes that interest us whatever the medium, instead of the weird, special video game-only themes that too many people make - orcs and elves, or monsters, or space. We felt you could make a good game and have it be about something we could actually relate to. Or aspire to".

You guys don't know f**king s**t... PC gaming sucks these days. Only good fo MMORPG's... Yes GTA started on pc, but it certainly was NOT "the best platform". Playstation was where its at, and where its staying. Your s**tty rigs don't have Cell processors... or 3.2ghz XDR memory. So just piss off...you don't deserver a game like GTA IV
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
And Anonymous at 4:0, you dont "DESERVER" to live.

F**k you all your PS3 owners and fans! You are stupid!!

PC's have more processing power than consoles, thus yielding better graphics, AI, physics, etc. Furthermore, PC's have a solid control scheme (keyb + mouse) and can be outfitted with wheels, joy pads, joysticks if you really want to. Thus, PC >> Console

Fanyboy much? Cell Proccesing. 3.2ghz XDR memory.Do you even realize your s**tty consoles are already THREE GENERATIONS BEHIND PC on hardware technology?Thats why consoles will always fail. Even when they are released brand new, they are obsolite.
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
3 generations? I beg to differ...I'm a hardcore PC gamer, and I do like the console world, no tweaking, no rig upgrades etc, makes it a simple buck for the kick.Once again I see meganubs posting stuff they have no knowledge about. Kids, trolls, fanboys, etc. Please do some research before spewing s**t from your mouths.
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
I dont thank this guy knows what casual gaming is most ppl that have lifes are casual gamers they dont play games all day = casual gaming
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
war you do realize that while yes consoles are nice, cheep, and good for simple people, they are still outdated. defiantly not by 3 generations, more by about 1-2 years or so. thats half the reason why there cheep. also for most games, controllers do suck
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
oh yeah, I aspire to be a car-jacking two-bit thug. That's great inspiration, Rockstar.
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
I aspire to weild wmd's in a world modeling relaity and kick @ss wherever i choose lol
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
PC's cost more because they offer a richer experience than consoles. Visuals will always rise above consoles no matter what. This is how the hardware industry drives video games.You all need to take a chill pill, GTA4 WILL be on PC in a couple of months, ever since GTA3 it has always been that way. NO different this time around.And amen, f**k casual gaming.
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming

"eak my ass beyotch !We can run GTA IV on up to 1680x1050 and more ! with more eye candy ! ad we still won't have FREEZING issues and PROD issues !ROFL - PCs > Consolesanytime - anywhere"PC> Consoles?? What games are you playing on your $1000 rig? LMAO. Let me guess, clone copy FPS and strategy? LOL games for the PC are boooooooooring and repetetive.Get a console, there's more to games than first person shooters byatch.And guess what? The PC is losing developer support because real money is in CONSOLES!I bet you feel real silly payin $500 for that graphic card now. suckaaaaaaa
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
lets see.. other then fps and strategy games. what are there... hmm... rpgs? lames sports games, and racing games... you still get racing games on PC, no one but losers play sports games. and for RPG's I have but one word.. Oblivion... was like crysis is now when it came out. oh and numb nuts strategy games are HUGE
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
Give it some time. Consoles r only more popular because idiots don't know how to build there own PC rig. And straight up RTS and FPS games feel way better on PC(My opinion). The resolutions you can get on PC are way higher then consoles will ever achieve.
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
YOUSE Guys are all spastiks! PC V CONSOLES, WTF Stop whinging like little b***hes and buy both... Fukin stoogesAmerica suck a fat pesh and wont rule anything except its Obese fukin people

San Andreas came for the PC months later and i got it. For sports games, well thats a bad genre just get a ball and go outside.
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
Hey M$ could you use some of that advertising money your wasting on GTAIV to make vista less s**t?
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
You have to remember, console games are made by PC's. PC's are more powerful BUT consoles games and console accessories have a higher profit margin. It is the reason why they release GTA 4 on consoles first because MS and Sony lose money when each console is sold and as time goes by they make their money, on games and accessories. People just pirate PC games, the only thing all gamers should be worried about is MMORPG's and possibly Spore and Sims 3.

People just pirate PC games... thats so false its not even funny. I hope you realize its easier to pirate games for a console once you have a modded console. and most people who pirate games wouldn't have paid for them anyways so it has no effects on sales
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
Screw you rockstar. Take you game and shove it up your ass. I'll be buying cheap casual games until i die. I only play demos of pc games and once i download 5 demos, its like having a full game so take your games and shove them up your ass.
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
anon @ 20;15 you are not a gamer... you should not be on a site like this... you should be off playing hello kitty island adventure. now go you little 12 year old

"We felt you could make a good game and have it be about something we could actually relate to. Or aspire to"How can you relate to shooting up cops and jacking cars? And is it really something that people should aspire to?
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming
Release GTA:IV for the Wii you f**knut.
Rockstar VP: F--k All This Stuff About Casual Gaming

Are you retarded or something? The real money is in consoles because the people who get them are dumb enough to buy the bulls**t accessories (did you know, that after buying 3 controllers, a headset, X-Box live for the 360, a 20GB hard-drive, and 2 good games, you spend $650 to $700! It is exactly $619.94 without any games. Don't believe me, put them together and do the math!) the repetitive games that fail even more by the number (well... Halo 3 was better than 2... but there are so many better games out there) new sports game every year with 2 updates; one on the way it plays, and the other is the teams abilities (grab a f**king ball and do it yourself, it is much better.) Pitiful online capabilities, fees for updates (especially Microsofts MMORPGs, I mean WTF is up with paying for X-Box live, when you still have to buy updates (map expansions) and PAY even more just to play an RPG online? Im specifying mostly on FF11 WOW and PS-O.)
