GTA 5 gets PC release date

[THE_EGG]

You must be able to do ordered by someone in Europe or the US for that you sent in packages not? ^^

Yeh you can. But as Ford said, it was only Target that has banned it and I think Big W also considered the banning of it too.

EB Games (Gamestop), JB Hi-Fi etc all still stock GTAV just fine. Most people I know only really buy games from EB and JB (or online).

GTA V will use the same RAGE game engine as GTA IV, I can run GTA IV smoothly, so that means that I can run GTA V the same way?

Max Payne 3 also used RAGE so saying that GTA IV used RAGE is not saying much as MP3 was a much better game from a performance perspective.

Good things come to those who wait.


Apparently.

Max Payne 3 also released 4 years later for PC. Which is going to be the contributing factor to the performance perspective, they would know the engine a lot better and should be able to squeeze a lot more out of it. The only game to really use the RAGE engine before GTA IV was Table Tennis... so I'm not even going to count that. So GTA IV would have been their first major outing, and first big jump to PC. They know the engine better now, have applied it to 2 different "gens" of systems. Having played both, I don't expect the GTA IV type performance on PC. Also keep in mind that by the time that GTA IV hit PC the 360 had been out for 3.5 years and the PS3 for 2.5. So they were further away from their performance peak at the time to PC's than the revamped GTA V (for XB1 and PS4) is to PC's now.

When is this bitch dropping already. Enough QQing about crap nobody knows about. I need a date son!

"Early 2015" AKA, we have your prepaid money, fuck you.

So, how are the ICEENHANCER and release day mods treating your feels, all that work R* is "putting in" so we can have launch day mods that render it obsolete.

But, brah, that video editor......

 

[Jurassic1024]

Seriously? After all the crappy rush jobs devs like Ubi crank out you ask this?

Rockstar are one of the few multiplat devs doing it right. I'd much rather wait and get something far more playable than get Ubi's garbage.

Everyone knows GTA IV was a crap port, and Rockstar isn't doing the GTA V port. If Rockstar did awesome ports, they wouldn't pass it to dev team. I know this post is old, but your defense didn't hold water then or now.

jan 27

Better check Steam again.

More rumours today of a delay which were then refuted by Rockstar.

This is so exciting its like Xmas all over again.

 

[1Kurgan1]

Rockstar has taken the somewhat unusual step of re-confirming that the PC version of Grand Theft Auto Vwill be released on January 27. But its response to nervous forum users may not be quite as unequivocal as everyone would like.

The statement came in reply to an incredibly succinct inquiry on the Rockstar forums about whether or not the game has been delayed. "GTAV will be coming to PC on January 27th," Rockstar wrote. "We have not announced any changes to the date at this time."

The first sentence is clear enough, but the second one comes off as somewhat squishier. It's almost certainly just the usual corporate-speak boilerplate—and yet Steam continues to list the game as launching in "Early 2015," despite January 27 being just 18 days away. The system requirements haven't been released yet, either. For a game we're meant to be playing in less than three weeks, that seems a little odd.

Which isn't to suggest that shenanigans are afoot: Rockstar has never been the most vocal studio in the world, and so while this might seem unusual, it's not terribly strange by the firm's standards. So January 27 it is—and we'll of course let you know if and when we hear different.

Yeah, there is map creators. I haven't tried making one myself yet. Some of them re decent maps, but the problem with racing in general is, no one races clean. So adding complications like jumps that you can be forced off of and throw way off the race course can be very annoying. I like to do races with under 5 people or just stick to bike races since they aren't programed like cars, not really prone to pit maneuvers (car racing thats all everyones going to try and do rather than a clean pass).

The racings a lot of fun, just same complications of other online racing games. You can host and make it no contact, but it just don't feel the same when other people are half transparent. My favorite racing is 1st person motorcycle racing, it's just awesome, making I'll have to get a video up of it.

Wish i could find a motorbike racing game that was something close to realistic.
They just dont do it for me so far.
Short of having a bike in the sitting room and some pricey VR kit i dont think its going to happen soon.

Cars are good at 200mph a bike would be truly awesome.

I don't think there's really many options out there for one. Bikes don't have the crowd that cars do, so their funding for projects are just going to be a lot lower. And with a car a steering wheel setup (decent one is a few hundred) you can't really get a decent bike setup, unless you want to pick up a bike frame and mock one up yourself, but you won't be leaning or anything.

people don't seem to understand that part of the reasion for the sub-par port of gta iv was down to hardware architecture
I am not saying that gta iv wasn't a epic fkup in general but
this generation of consoles are x86-64 porting should go much much smoother
I expect it to run fairly well on launch-day

GTA V gets a new release date: MARCH 24, 2015

"As we head into 2015, we would like to share the first screens and system specs of Grand Theft Auto V for PC as well as a new release date of March 24, 2015.

Our apologies for the slight shift in the date but the game requires a few extra weeks of testing and polish to make it as good as can be. Moving a release date is never a decision we take lightly and is a choice we make only when we know it is in the best interests of the game and our fans. Thanks everyone for your understanding and we assure you these few extra weeks will be worth it when the game does arrive in March.

GTA Online for PC, which will support up to 30 players, will launch alongside GTAV for PC and will include GTA Online Heists. Online Heists for consoles will be launching in the coming weeks ahead of the PC launch."

oh wow ok then, looks like I won't be playing it before uni starts. I think I'll save my pennys until mid-year because of uni, hopefully there will be some sales on around then too.

65GB!!! That's going to be a looooooong download!

So, all that sweet sweet bullshit was just that.

if you don't like rockstar/gta thats fine
if you are just gonna stick around to thread crap
then get the fuck out your personal vendetta toward rockstar doesn't belong in this thread
the delay doesn't surprise me rockstar knows if they release another pc-game that's not ready they are gonna pay for it

The download won't be 65 GB. It will just require 65 GB of space afterwards but, yeah, some games are getting immense in storage requirements. I believe this is by far the largest that I've seen.

I have loved GTA in the past, and believe R* makes great games.


But they treat PC gaming like shit. Undoubtedly they are dedicating their resources to making more content for consoles. My personal vendetta? Calling shit when I see it, if it offends you I'm sorry, but it is shit. I would take a game with less pretty options and no 4K over all the hype the PC community keeps puffing their chest about, cause honestly, right now, we have nothing for this game. So we can both sit and beat our chests over how great or terrible it is, but the fact of it all is, we don't have it, we have been delayed twice for a two year old game, supposedly for features that 10% of the people may use or care about like 4K, in a game where the prettiness of grass is hardly a factor in how fun it is, when its a satirical look at life. Fruit phone anyone?

I have been playing GTA 5 for almost a year and a half now (It was released in September 2013 for PS3). You would think for all the bitching PC gamers do in that period of time they could have saved up a few hundred bucks and paid for a damn console. PC gamers are not elitists, they are just whiny demanding bitches.
