You can also move into free-cam or revolve the angle around different target points which are designated to other NPCs within a certain radius of Niko's position in the game world.
＊ 视角系统给用户创造性的自由体验。可以在游戏预设的胸前，顶部，前方，后方等视角间切换，也可以进入自由视角，或者围绕Niko附近NPC进行旋转。

* Variables such as field of vision (a techie word for zoom), pitch (height), as well as the ability to revolve the camera around any fixed point offer near limitless amounts of scope.
＊ 几乎可以无限制地调整可视范围（缩放），视点高度，以及绕任意点旋转。

* Wall hugging bugs from console has made it to PC - When up against certain walls or cars you still sometimes can't always peak around to shoot which causes some frustration to the player.
＊ 靠墙BUG也延续到了PC平台。有时靠着某些墙或车辆时，无法探出头进行攻击，比较郁闷。

＊ 玩家可以用Xbox 360手柄或普通键盘进行游戏。

* Can also be used simultaneously (drive with controller, on-foot shooting with keyboard and mouse, for example).
＊ 也可以同时使用 （比如，用手柄开车，用键鼠射击）。

* Save by hitting the 揵ack? button at any point on your Xbox 360 controller which you can swap for a mouse and keyboard if you wish.
＊ 在任何时候可以按Xbox 360手柄的“揵ack?”键（PizzaNicky注：原文是乱码，我也没有XBOX，所以有XBOX的朋友补充下……）进行保存，当然用键鼠也可以。

* Keyboard and Mouse feels effortless to drive with, there seems no issues with this combo in general (mouse obviously being brilliant to aim with).
＊ 用键鼠驾驶也毫不费力（用鼠标瞄准显然很容易）

Custom Soundtrack
自定义音轨

* Custom radio station is called Independence FM.
＊ 自定义电台的名字是Independence FM。

* Also, there's the option of your own music in game. By lobbing music files into a set folder, you can play them on the new radio station, Independence FM
＊ 当然，你可以把自己的音乐文件放在指定的文件夹，然后在Independence FM中播放。

* This can be used as a simple track player or - if you give the chance for the game to have a little think before playing - turned into a full radio station, complete with news bulletins and DJs insulting your choice in music.
＊ 这个自定义电台通过设置，可以单纯的只播放音轨，或者让它成为一个真正的电台——中间夹杂广告以及DJ对你选择的这些音乐的胡言乱语。

* Players will be able to custom build a soundtrack for their creations by selecting music from the existing list of radio stations in GTA IV. You can even add add text to playback at any point along the Time Bar and the editor has supplied a variety of fonts, colors, and sizes for this feature.
＊ 玩家可以通过选择电台已有的音乐来组合创建自己的音轨。甚至可以在时间轴上增加文本，编辑器提供了很多不同的字体，颜色和字号。（PizzaNicky注：做卡拉OK？）

Video Editor
视频编辑器

* Access the editor from Niko's phone. Save hundreds of clips and chain multiple clips together before merging them into one fluid production.
＊ 通过Niko的手机进入编辑器。可以保存上百个片段，连接多个片段，然后组合成一个视频。

* Clips can be saved and edited, using a variety of tools such as video filters and switching camera angles.
＊ 片段可以存储编辑，编辑器提供了很多工具，例如视频滤镜，角度变换等。

＊ 片段可以组合保存。在R* Social Club上共享。

* Final videos can be exported in resolutions of 640?, 720p and full 1080p. The Rockstar Games Social Club will be equipped to upload and share your videos with others.
＊ 最终视频可以导出为分辨率为640p, 720p以及1080p。R* Social Club都可以upload。

* At any time during the game (single or multiplayer), press the F2 key to dump a chunk of footage to your hard drive. Depending on how data intensive things are in the world at that time, the clip should be about 30 to 40 seconds long. Captured footage will be the action that occurs PRIOR to pressing F2. Note that if you have a slower machine, you also have the option to turn off this feature altogether.
＊ 在游戏的任何时候（单人或多人），按F2会在硬盘上生成一个30到40秒长的片段，记录的是按F2之前的部分。注意，如果机器性能不佳，可以关闭这个选项。

* All the raw footage you've captured in-game can be viewed quickly in the Clips section. There are standard DVD style controls for video playback. In addition, you can hold down the right mouse button to move the camera and view your clip from alternate angles and then update your clip thumbnail making it easy to organize your clips.
＊ 所有在游戏中捕捉的原始视频都可以在Clips区中迅速观看，进行标准的DVD风格的回放。另外，可以按住鼠标右键移动视角，从不同角度观看你的片段，然后可以根据新的视角更新片段的缩略图，以方便管理片段。

＊ Upload区，玩家可以将视频提交至Social Club。屏幕左侧显示你捕捉的本地视频，右侧显示你upload的所有视频。

Replay Feature
回放特性

* New for PC version is a replay editor, buffering up to 30 seconds of game play in your history. Stop the game at any time to view footage.
＊ PC版的回放编辑器，可以缓存30秒的游戏历史。在任何时候都可以暂停游戏来观看。

* 30 seconds replays will return for both single and multiplayers.
＊ 30秒回放支持多人和单人游戏。

* The replay editor can record, save and edit the last 30 seconds of the game. Once you have saved your video, you can open another piece of internal software in order to change the point of view and add special effects. The montage editor allows you to edit various replays into a single sequence, add audio tracks from the official soundtrack of the game and add effects like transition from a sequence to another. You can then upload and publish your videos to the Rockstar Social Club to share them with the world.
＊ 回放编辑器可以记录，保存和编辑。一旦保存下来，就可以打开一个内部编辑软件来改变视角，增加特效。蒙太奇编辑器允许你将不同的回放编辑成一个视频，从游戏的官方音轨中添加音频，还可以添加镜头切换等特效。然后可以上传。（PizzaNicky注：这部分好像和上面重复了……）

* Hit F2 during offline play to record 30 to 60 second clips. Length is automatically determined by what's going on onscreen.
＊ 按F2保存片段（PizzaNicky注：又重复了……）

* Game ships with a replay editor to edit your videos, similar to that of modern day non-destructive video editors. Basic stuff such as adding clips together on a timeline, adding effects and changing camera angles. Examples of effects include green-tinted and sepia toned filters, as well as the ability to adjust the audio level. Text effects can also be added.
＊ （PizzaNicky注：又重复。大致就是可以加特效，绿色和红色滤镜bla bla...）

* Markers can be set at any point along the Time Bar in the editor to initiate a change of camera angle/field of vision, a different filter for the display, slowing down/speeding up the playback speed, or even adding music and text.
＊ 可以在时间轴的任意位置设标记进行视角／视野，滤镜，慢镜／快镜，或添加音乐文字的变化。

Development
开发

* PC version was worked on during the development process of the console versions, with a team of about 50 members.
＊ PC版是在游戏机版进行开发的过程中开始的，开发团队大约50人。

* Because the game is build for Microsoft's Games for Windows platform, it has Live integration. So all the usual stuff such as 揳chievements, friends lists, voice communication, multiplayer anti-cheating technology, and distributed worldwide servers for robust online play?.
＊ 因为是Windows平台的Microsoft游戏，所以集成了Live。

* The game data is on TWO DVDs. You're required to have 16GB of free space on your hard drive in order to install so those who are buying digital versions should be prepared for a long wait for their data to download from the internet.
＊ 游戏数据在2张DVD上。安装需要16GB空间。

Settings
设置

* There are nine speed settings. -4 to 4 with 0 being default speed.
＊ 9段速度设置。-4到4，0为默认值。

* You can choose from Sketch, Sepia, Noire and Cinema for some of the filters, but I beg of you to not overuse them like so many people do with real life videos. Green, Red and Colors are other filters. Colors has fluorescent primary colors. The editor's Green filter is similar to a night vision camera but without the interference. Red is reminiscent of the bleed-out screen in Gears of War.
＊ 可以选择素描，褐色，噪点和电影等滤镜，但我求你们不要像某些人在真实世界视频中那样过度使用。其他还有绿色，红色和彩色滤镜。彩色滤镜将给主要颜色添加荧光效果。绿色滤镜类似没有干扰的夜视仪。红色滤镜让人想起Gears of War中的中弹流血的效果。

Security
安全

* Initial activation requires internet connection before you play GTA IV, if you don't activate the game then you won't be able to play it (Anti-piracy feature)
＊ 在玩之前须要连接internet初始激活，不激活无法进行游戏（反盗版特性）

* The game will use SecuROM Digital Rights Management software.
＊ 游戏使用SecuROM DRM软件加密。

* SecuROM offers a diverse toolset to publishers to help safeguard their IP and interests. Vocal 慴oard posters' seem to be most down on the SecuROM feature that limits the number of installations. But this SecuROM functionality is really nothing different than what iTunes has used for years now.
＊ SecuROM提供了一套工具来帮助发行者保护他们的知识产权和利益，而人们最讨厌的就是其限制安装次数。这个功能和iTunes一直在用的也差不多（PizzaNicky注：SecuROM的东西，译得未必专业）

* The disc-based version of the game can be installed on an unlimited number of computers at a time, while buyers from services like Steam or Direct2Drive will only be able to install on a maxmium of 5 machines simultaneously. All versions of the game must be activated once per machine before play, and the company says that it has a contingency plan for users who don't have an internet connection - visit a website.
＊ 以光盘为载体的版本可以一次安装在无限多个电脑上，而通过Steam或Direct2Drive购买下载版的用户只能同时安装在5台机器上。所有版本在玩之前每台机器都得激活，对于没有internet连接的用户，则需通过访问一个网站激活（PizzaNicky注：区别于游戏自动连接激活）

* In addition to SecuROM, the game will also fill your drive with 16GB of game and other data including versions of Adobe Flash, Internet Explorer, DirectX, Games for Windows LIVE and the Microsoft .net framework.
＊ 除了SecuROM，游戏会占用16GB硬盘空间，包括游戏数据和Adobe Flash, Internet Explorer, DirectX, Games for Windows LIVE和Microsoft .net framework

* To play multiplayer, you have to have a (free, I stress) Games for Windows account plus another one for the Rockstar Social Club. You can skip the login of the latter (if you don't want multiplayer or uploading videos), but it does have to be running in the background.
＊ 要进行多人游戏，你的有一个Games for Windows帐号（免费的）和一个Rockstar Social Club帐号。后者可以不登录（如果你不想进多人模式或上传视频），但必须后台运行。

* For Steam users, it's three processes in the background. It's not a lot of hassle, certainly, but it is a bit of hassle, and worth knowing if you're the sort who get angry when talking about DRM. While we're talking about that, there's online activation too.
＊ 对于Steam用户，后台则有3个进程。
