GTA3 for PC???

KdjaCL

Taking form an articl in USA version of PC Gamer page 27.
"Rockstar quietly let the word slip a few weeks ago that GTA III was coming to the PC. A key feature will be support for 16-person multiplay, and the PC version will also sport better textures at a much nicer resolution. The mouse/keyboard setup will be instantly familiar to third-person-action fans, too. We're definitely looking forward to this one"
The page went on about how good it would bebut there was no release date.

Mr. Fancypants

Take-Two Interactive's Rockstar Games division has announced that it will publish Grand Theft Auto III for the PC in May. The game was previously released in October on the Sony PlayStation 2, and it has since won numerous awards for its innovation and groundbreaking design, including GameSpot's number-one spot on the Top 10 Games of 2001 and the Game of the Year award at the 2002 Game Developers Choice Awards. The game has also been a commercial success, selling more than 2 million copies in the US and becoming the best-selling PlayStation 2 game since the console's launch in October 2000.


"It is an honor to work on the Grand Theft Auto games," said Les Benzies, development director for Rockstar. "The PlayStation 2 version was a terrific achievement for us and now we're looking forward to maximizing the game's potential for the PC. We know that there is an enormous, avid fan base out there that has waited patiently for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto III. The final product will blow them away."
