Grand Theft Auto V

They do it all the time.

But Red Dead Redemption still wasn´t released on PC.

I guess they didn´t sell many copies of GTA4 on PC, mainly due to the extremely bad quality of the port.

If you guess then its not all true:)

They did a port, but they did take time (some say a little too much) to patch it up multiple times and also they added the editor/replay editor that was a complete gem and only for PC.

Red Dead is not GTA, and GTA is something they know they can shift on all platforms as its the main stay of the company. I dont think they will ignore PC, one clue is the fact that they didn't push to the "Next Gen" bandwagon, so graphicly and engine wise it will work for PC and as always will look better as they haven't pushed passes existing consoles that run the previous title without any new upgrades. Look at the face anim updates that are "similar" to LA Nior .. and that was to PC.

As its been said, its the usual PR that was just like last time.

Unless they made a shit port so they can justify low sales to ignore PC this time, but then why would they have gone so far to the the editor for PC only feature in (and I have to say if there was some saving grace with port issues until patches that was the silver lining).

Talking of graphics, in all those impressive story videos its a jaggy fuz fest if you look closer and further, and to me looks very much like IV did on the PC port, so I dont think consoles are being spared any limitations.

A lot of console open-worlds fail on PC, GTA is one of the few that does not - and even then GTA4 was a lot worse than previous ones. When they ported Bully everyone was like "zomg another game by Rockstar on PC" and then when people played it everybody was "meh". So I guess Rockstar just doesn't see RDR as a successful project on PC.

I don't believe the low sales line either.I remember quite well that GTA III was the same half-assed port with performance problems and R* didn't gave a crap with support.

Vice City was quite bug free but then GTA SA came and again all R* did was to release a patch to fix some mouse probs.That was it,that was the support we had for past GTAs.

The whole thing changed with GTA IV and MP3,I have never seen Rockstar giving so much attention to the pc platform,multiple patches for both games that actually improved them.These guys aren't EA but let's face it they swim in cash.Now if GTA IV hadn't sold well for PC they wouldn't had bothered with this kind of support just like they did in the past.Heck they even released the Episodes too and the last IV patch was 1.7 in 2010,basically 2 years of constant support.

Cinematics =/= Graphics

[mrcash2009 0]

I dont know, I realise its resources and sandbox have to take into consideration but if you look at draw distant graphics of shop faces, things like the motorbike skins and the outline of all characters, its pretty low res & jaggy. Will hardly take anything away from it, but lets face it *troll mode* would be so much better on PC :)

Was impressed with all the scenery and ambience' date=' there is even one scuba screen there! The lowres\high jagged is because of the consoles.

Anyway, when it comes to PC and it can be moddedm tweaked it will be awesome. Look at what was done with GTA4:

I started using ENB for GTA 4 the other day. I wasn't all that impressed with it tbh, I just see it as a much lighter game with super shiny shiny cars, also it messes up my sky at times, goes all red.

That's photoshopped for sure.

[mrcash2009 0]

Ah yes I forgot that glaring point too with the DLC's.

ENB can be a bit overrated, I think its the iCEnhancer set-up thats the main one, bit of a GPU burn system killer though.

[bonchie 39]

They released L.A. Noire as well on PC.

Really, only RDR got left out.

[TSAndrey 1]

GTA V will be an amazing game (atleast for consoles), but I'm afraid they will screw up the PC version just like they did with GTA IV. GTA V also has a lot of pontential for MP, if they make it like SA:MP. But that would probably be a bit too expensive for them

[Tonci87 163]

I bought GTA 4 on Release Day thinking "What can go wrong, the game has been out for half a year" Boy was I wrong......

[mrcash2009 0]

I can agree that release day and install of IV was a bit ... performance?? Shadows?? WTF?

It did take them time to get that sorted in a patch, but they did so. If memory serves that was R* Canada who produced the port, im not sure who is or will be responsible this time, I think many were more looking towards R* North due to SA etc to be better trusted for smooth port. I would have thought they would have learned from mistakes on IV release time, well, heres hoping.

You also have to take into account the jump in the engine and also the time it came out of PC rigs and setups, as IV was still pushing it for PC into quads. So I would imagine that being a fixed feature now with physics and just updates to engine, DX10/11 and so on and the standard quad base level PC we shouldn't see that again.

[Smurf 12]

Confirmed: This will be the best GTA ever.

[Tonci87 163]

Totally confirmed! (If they don´t fuck up the PC version)

[mrcash2009 0]

Well I have to agree they really have added some serious GUI polish to this, looks like they havd taken GTAIV/SA and gone full guns on professional integration with front end. I think the idea to stay current gen will work, certainly will keep people from ditching the CG console once it arrives, will probably sell more funny enough. I dont know about NG forward compatibility unless someone else can confirm that.

Anyway I want it on PC, and everything about that looks like a PC style GUI for mouse as much as controller.

[Mr. Charles 22]

This is gonna be so awesome :3

[mdmrzk 1]

don't undestand why Rockstar decided to make a PC version later (or never). I mean ,GTA 1 was on PC, and GTA on pc are 589x funny that console version (thank you mods )

[R0adki11 3945]

Looks great, hopefully the PC version is given 100% and its not a port.

I wouldn´t bet on that. I simply hope that they make a good and solid port this time.

The GTA V 'update' on Reddit is fake. It uses the CVG branding without permission and its info is fabricated. Please ignore it and RT

[Smurf 12]

Oh well...

Anyway I was just playing "The Blallad of Gay Tony", which is much better than the vanilla, and if they're improving upon that and RDR, which they are, this is an easy GOTY.

[Messiah 2]

must pick up those GTA IV expansions before 5 comes out actually.
