GTAV PS4/Xbox One coming November 18th, PC coming January 27th
- Thread starter Nibel
- Start date
What does Rise of the Tomb Raider have to do with this? If Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4 was announced at the same time as the Xbone version, but released 2 months afterward, then it would be a good analogy, but it isn't.
PC versions have way more options than console versions of games, which has always been the case. Yeah it sucks the PC version was delayed, but the "FUCK YOU ROCKSTAR, WHY DO YOU HATE PC GAMES SO MUCH" reactions seem a bit much since this is a company which is known to skip PC versions if they feel like it (RDR). A two month delay seems pretty minimum for the reactions it's getting.

The fuck are you on about? If this delay keeps it from being the PC port GTA IV was you should be extremely happy they're taking an extra 2 months.

Throwing more players at it won't fix the problems.

I was gonna skip this remaster but ehhhh think I'll get it for PS4.
I think by November I'll be in the mood for another playthrough.

An extra two months would not have solved GTA IV's problems. So don't tell people how they should feel about something.
The PC delay is pretty simple. Rockstar's bread and butter is consoles. So consoles get priority. The pc is secondary. A later release date is the reflection of that. Though I am sure the thought has passed many of minds that a later release date could entice double and triple dipping.

What?
Well that's not really true at all. With GTA IV, The first patch was released about week from release and it fixed lot of things. Next patch was couple weeks from that.

I don't think there's a correlation between a port being delayed/coming at a later date, and it actually being good. There's been plenty of good ports that have been released at the same time as on consoles, and there's been awful ports that have come months later.

Why doesn't it mention the 30 players for PC too? It just says PS4/X1
i was hoping during the first year long delay perhaps they would have been able to achieve a functioning video game, if not then why the year delay
and the prospect of them selling a functional product is not comforting as justification for a second delay on top of an already one year delay, a functional product is the bare minimum of my expectation
edit: and a two month delay would have been palatable, so low are my expectations at this point, but not 16 months, not a further delay, not a delay until after consoles which weren't even out at the time of release get an hd remaster

I have problems getting it to run at max settings and 60fps on a modern rig. A two month delay would not have changed this.

If they couldn't get it running right in over a year, I don't think 2 months is going to change much.
They're releasing it later because they want to, not have to. The optimization will be whatever they feel like putting into it, whether it's released the same day or 6 months later.
The PC version might support more, but they don't want to kill the ps4/xb1 hype.

GTA Online has potential to be so much more yet they haven't done anything with it. Just look at Arma 3 Altis Life and you will see what I'm talking about.

You guys need to vote with your money, people always say it. I was all in day 1 to get GTA V on pc day one but since Rockstar are a bunch of dickheads i will not buy their fucking game until it is 10 dollars or less. Fuck you Rockstar.

It's not that far fetched either, if Rockstar doesn't do it modded servers are inevitable. I saw a 50 player GTAIV server in Episodes for Liberty City once, couldn't join it without the files but the option will be out there.

Voting with our wallets doesn't matter if we're fine with what they're doing.
Pretty much this.
It was a severely unoptimized port- night shadow flickering, slow texture load in, framerate instability, no AA etc.
In spite of all this, I enjoyed my time with it on the PC- it's always installed to hop in when GFWL stopped updating. It can be beautiful in it's own right; I'm thinking this go around we get a great PC port!
i'm not getting it at all. im sure it's a good game but whatever.
Maybe when I upgrade my PC there will be a code to download the game with a graphics card

I don't like playing on modded servers where cheating can happen, I want it on official.

Cheating is probably going to happen on official servers too man, If people can do it on 360 and PS3 you know damn well they'll find a way on PC.
In addition to tweaking the game, that couple months gives them time to advertise PC specific features. It is a completely different customer group with different needs compared to console gamers.
The console ports are pretty much the same but there are some differences in the PC version like the video editor etc. They have also only talked about the console multiplayer player numbers and features.

Damn that PC release delay.
I want to get it there, but I'd happily pick it up on PS4 if it turns out the port job is not well done and the performance is shit. That's all I really want to know before making a decision.
Oh well, I've waited this long and there's plenty of stuff to play at the end of the year. I suppose I can wait until January.

If true, props to Rockstar.
