GTA V: PC Version

[Zeze]

I don't know why you guys are speculating WHETHER it will come to PC.

Of course it will- 100%. It's obvious.

The question is when.

How is the framerate on the PS3 in GTA5? I wasn't quite happy with it in GTA4. I'm considering getting the PS3 version myself. Don't know if I'll be able to wait for the PC version.

For me, it's not even the framerate but the muddy textures/Color and all the jaggies. I also recently picked up Red Dead Redemption and I just feel like I'm forcing myself to play the game. Next-Gen Consoles can't get here soon enough.

Bad news for you... Next-gen consoles are not that good, they can run Battlefield 4 at 60fps only because the resolution is 720p stretched to 1080p, so the image is not going to be all that sharp...

Check this image from a GTA V "beta tester"

I'm calling BS on this, jaggies everywhere.

Besides the fact that the game is using ~900mb of RAM and 2% CPU

Heh, that was too obvious for me to point out

probably but,

what about Red Dead Redemption?

 

[pcslookout]

I will buy this on day 1.

 

[Majcric]

I gave up hope waiting on Red Dead Redemption so caved and bought it for the 360. I personally feel like if Red Dead was going to come to PC it should have already made it by now. With Next-Gen consoles on the rise I just think it's unlikely Rockstar will go back and dig up a port for PC gamers.

 

[NIGELG]

I have enjoyed GTA games exclusively on PC.I am a PC only gamer and I don't have the inclination or interest to buy or borrow any of the consoles.

If the Game is not released on PC then like Halo I will bid the GTA franchise 'Adieu'..

I could see it possibly fitting into the category of "port and monetize on Steam" someday in the future when they're looking for some extra revenue. Maybe. We can hope.

I have a good gaming pc with a 670 card in it, very nice gaming mouse and razer gaming mouse pad, nice stuff all around on it. I prefer to play on pc if I can. I'm even a graphics ho, always trying to crank my settings.

That said... I also have the current three consoles because there are some games I just don't want to miss. I'm really glad I didn't miss Red Dead, and The Last of Us. I am a big fan of Halo too even if the series has been slipping somewhat. Zelda is important too.

Thankfully I can kind of adapt to the worse graphics. Partly because I'm further from the TV. Then again, I play some pc games on my tv with controller too (Skyrim notably)

I suck it up and deal. Some games are worth putting up with jaggies. Anyone not making plans to play the last of us is doing themselves a huge disservice - I consider it mandatory gaming.

If you'd talked to me about this circa 2003 or so I could have supplied some fearsome rants about Thief 3 and Deus Ex 2 in particular, being consolized. My hatred for the XBox 1 was red hot and had started when they diverted Halo 1 from PC.

In the end, I got an XBox and loved Halo on it and had good times on it with some other games too.

I realized I'd been a PC AND console gamer since the start - on my Atari 2600 and Commodore 64. I have room in my heart for both. These days they're getting more and more similar anyway. In a mostly good way. I still get frustrated like when I see Thief 4 looking consolized, but hey I'm glad it's even being made at all.

GTA V looks great on my 360 - maybe I'll wish I'd waited, but 4 gave me headaches on PC with glitches and not running etc... so who knows.

I go where I have to to enjoy great games.

This article which claims to have looked through source code, suggests that a PC version is in development and that it will have a DX11 variant of the game executable as well as 2k textures.

No idea how reliable it is.

what about Red Dead Redemption?

Red Dead Redemption was developed by RockStar San Diego. Grand Theft Auto is developed by RockStar North. All of the GTA games have been ported to PC, as has most of RockStar North's catalog. None of RockStar San Diego's games have been ported to PC (the Red Dead series and the Midnight Club series). So it's not really fair to compare them; just because they're published by RockStar doesn't mean it's the same team working on both of them. The RockStar San Diego team does not port to PC; the RockStar North team always does (at least as far as GTA is concerned).

GTA V will come out on PC. But as there's been no official announcement yet, all these rumors are just BS being spread by people who want to mess with you. Don't believe a single word of anyone who mentions any specifics as far as release date, resolution, texture fidelity, advanced graphic options, or any other specific details which are impossible to know at this point. Anticipation shouldn't deactivate your "never trust anything on the internet" filter.

I am inclined to believe Nvidia actually does have a deal with GTA 5 on PC and their graphics cards though. The 'accidental' inclusion came way to close to AMDs announcements to not seem extremely likely to be marketing.

But, everyone else that is posting rumors about GTA 5 is full of it though. Not that it will stop anyone from posting and talking about it. Someone posted a fake Valve announcment (while being anonymous on 4chan) then admitted it was fake; yet there is still a thread about it in VC&G.

Midnight Club 2 was available on the PC

still, they are owned by the same guys no?
the decision of not releasing RDR on the PC and the other Midnight Clubs is not so easy to understand,

Says you, Buzz Killington.
No, you are right of course.

 

[Whitestar127]

Soooo...any news on this? Internet seems to have gone quiet.

 

[cmdrdredd]

Just silence

 

[futurefields]

I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't come at all.

Agreed, I'm honestly not expecting it anymore. If they were going to do a PC version I think there would have been _something_ concrete by now.

 

[norseamd]

do you guys think that next generation consoles are a given

I played it on Xbox and had the feeling the visuals were done at higher rez with next gen consoles (and PCs) in mind, then downcoverted to squeeze into last gen system specs. I think they're just holding it to release at the most strategic time. They obviously wanted to milk last gen sales as much as possible and it probably did better than expected, so there's no rush to double dip.

exactly what i was thinking and sony and microsoft probably gave money to rockstar just to keep it on last generation consoles for a while so they are more or less triple dipping

 

[Lil Frier]

That, or Rockstar themselves realized they could do just that...release the game on old consoles, then hold the new-generation games out (say that they aren't coming) to get 360/PS3 sales, then claim that "overwhelming demand) convinced them to make the games for the One/PS4.

 

[JeffMD]

The problem lies in that rockstar's port which may indeed have been scheduled like 6 months out, is being pushed back by constant updates to the online portion of the game. Two observations here, one is rockstar now figures they need to implement most of what they have already added to the console version, and second is rockstar is probably observing as much of their online counterpart because they REALLY REALLY want to do a GTA MMO.
