PC version in the works?

[CTCCoco]

Gta v will never be on pc just like red dead redemption.when asked by ign they said everything is up for consideration and they say they can only do what we want where there is a business oppurtunity and its seems they think there are no business oppurtunities like they said about lack of red dead redemption pc because these games will sell tens of millions on ps3 and xbox 360 alone while pc may sell from 3 million to 6 million copies they think that it was small percentage to console sales which were around 30 million.small games like max payne 3 and la noire will make appearance on pc because their sales will be less on consoles.there they see business oppurtunities on pc.gta will be released on wii u but not for pc.its a sad fact.maybe starting a petition to bring gta v on pc like pc gamers did with dark souls may help.if dark souls pc can reach 100000 signatures gta v pc can reach millions of signatures.

i have to say in those iv pictures xbox looks sharper

 

though it does make sense that it will be easier to put v on pc considering max payne 3 is already on pc

Okay, it's maybe not a copy-paste work in this case but Rockstar has earned experience in making Max Payne 3 for PC. According to vgchartz Max Payne 3 sold 1.11 million copies on Xbox 360, 1.07 million copies on Playstation 3 and 0.21 million copies on PC. The consoles-PC-sales ratio seems a bit better there and as if this isn't enough digital sales aren't even incorporated in these numbers. Max Payne 3 was number one in Steam for a few weeks after the release on PC so I think it didn't sell bad on PC even though Take-Two reported that the overall-sales were under their expectations. I think that this game worked out well on PC for Rockstar Games.

under their expectations you think it worked out for them?

 

not exactly sure what you mean

 

but 0.21 million how much is that 200 000?

According to that site, XBOX 360 and PC Episodes From Liberty City, The Lost and Damned, Ballad or Gay Tony sold 0.00 millions worldwide. How accurate is that?

 

I think that website is not trustable.

[Andreas]

 

they said  they can only do what we want where there is a business oppurtunity and its seems they think there are no business oppurtunities like they said about lack of red dead redemption pc because these games will sell tens of millions on ps3 and xbox 360 alone while pc may sell from 3 million to 6 million copies they think that it was small percentage to console sales which were around 30 million.small games like max payne 3 and la noire will make appearance on pc because their sales will be less on consoles.there they see business oppurtunities on pc.gta will be released on wii u but not for pc.its a sad fact.maybe starting a petition to bring gta v on pc like pc gamers did with dark souls may help.if dark souls pc can reach 100000 signatures gta v pc can reach millions of signatures.

Cool story bro. Tell me more. I'll definitely not listen to you.

0.21 million is 210 000. I have said the overall-sales so consoles+PC were disappointed for Take-Two but on PC it was most likely not that bad.

@sats

Read the question again that IGN gave:

 

 

Why not the PC, Wii U and so on

 

So the answer wasn't related to PC specifically .

 

IGN was smart because that was the only way they would have gotten an answer. Or dumb.

 

Don't you think all the other publications would have asked about PC that did interviews? That's like the main thing everyone wants to know. So Rockstar didn't give those publications an answer, because they don't want to say "No".

 

The question and answer at IGN is different.

would it be different if they asked specifically about pc?

 

 

[mkey82]

And I fully share your anger

I'm not at all angry. I grew weary of their business practices and I'm still hoping they'll finally show evidence of having a spine.

Rockstar never says there will be no pc version same they said for red dead redemption they say "as of now they has no plans for pc version if that should change we will let you know" they keep saying like that for year now its been 2 and half years after red dead redemption release still no sign of pc version.so we cant assume they going to do pc version.they said only they will do what they want only where there was business oppurtunities.they think that gta v will sell more than 50 million on ps3 and xbox 360 combined pc will sell near around 7 or 6 million maximum ten million.they think the number is small.so instead of doing pc version they will spend time making dlcs and making billions out of them.

Well, vgchartz is a trustworthy website but it doesn't show the numbers of some games. I think it's because EfLC consists of DLCs (TLaD, TBoGT) and vgchartz usually don't show them.

 

@zzcool: I think the answer would be different because the question would be basically different.

[mkey82]

so we cant assume they going to do pc version.

We can assume you're not the brightest bulb in the bunch. Or are just trolling. Either way - go away.

[TenEightyOne]

I hope you understand the irony of anyone posting that picture... spell-check it if you don't know what I mean

 

OT: The PC versions of multi-platform games don't give such a good financial return (for many reasons), it's not surprising to see them getting a lower attention rating... but I hope that as many people as possible are able to get the game as soon as possible.

 

I'll be buying it for PC when it's out on that platform, for now I just need to decide whether to get the release version for XBox 360, PS3 or both.

I think you don't know what you're talking about. This or you haven't considered everything and you didn't research. Red Dead Redemption was developed by Rockstar San Diego. The last time Rockstar SD has released a game for PC was Midnight Club II in 2003. Since then this studio never released a game for PC again. GTA V is developed by Rockstar North and all "major" GTAs were released for PC so why should GTA V not?

Listen what rockstar said to ign they only do what they want on a platform where there are business oppurtunities and there was a market.they said red dead redemption was not released on pc because its not viable businesswise so they dont see business oppurtunities on pc platform for bigger games like gta series and red dead series but for their small games like max payne and la noire they do.

[WhatThe?]

I a huge console fanboy, but it would be a disaster to R* if they didnt release it on PC. I don't know the figures on how many people play on the PC but, my guess is its over 10Million at least. Can anyone actually find the figures.

most companies release their games on pc simultaneously along console versions.only rockstar delays their gamers or do not release pc versions of their games forever.i hate that ps3 fanboy houser.

It was risky for Rockstar to do a PC version for Red Dead Redemption because it's a western game and if you look at the past finance reports of Take-Two then you can see that RDR sold way better than originally expected. Red Dead Redemption costed about 80-100 million dollar in the development and Max Payne 3 costed more than 100 million dollar. So I don't see how you can call Max Payne 3 a "smaller game" if you compare it to Red Dead Redemption. L.A. Noire was a project from Team Bondi and Rockstar helped in the last 3 years of its development and they have ported the game to PC and XBox 360. And also Rockstar has promoted L.A. Noire. The game sold more than 5 million copies and it's still less than Rockstar Games expected so I don't have an idea how you can call this game a "small game" compared to Red Dead Redemption. I would like to see what you have to say and what ideas you're creating now to speak against these points.

@sats

Okay, you've had your fun now. Now get off all the raging at Rockstar. If you want to let them know how you feel and make unfounded statements about them, send them an email: [email protected]

 

No one wants to read your negative views on here.

[Jimbatron]

^This.

 

If there really are no plans at all for a PC version, there doesn't seem to be a reason not to give a straight "no" answer. You wouldn't want people who own a console and a PC to hold back from the console purchase in the hope of something coming that they are not going to make.

 

I don't hold out much hope of a release that is only a few weeks after the consoles though. I think we are looking at 3-6 month delay.

I debating on whether to get a PS3 for Christmas, I already have a Xbox 360 and I love the online but I fancy something else to Expirence. I've played on my mates PS3, but I didn't like the online that much.

 

As to play on a PC, I can't afford that, that's why Im a console fanboy.

Red Dead they did the same thing, only said no PC version after console release, not before. No straight answer ever from Rockstar.

[reform]

R* aren't going to hold off on releasing the easier to debug console versions in order to release a much harder to debug PC port at the same time. It would make no sense. Not only does it mean a longer wait before R* can get some $ for their work, it also means console users are waiting about for no reason. Stop raging and get some common sense.

Pc gamers wanted red dead more than la noire.so instead of porting rdr they ported la noire.so they have proved that they never listen to consumers they do their own math and will find that porting their best selling games to pc will not be profitable and timesaving.

[mkey82]

that's why Im a console fanboy.

No, you're a console fanboy if you are ready to shove sh*t down one's throat just because he uses some other platform, while facelessly attacking and disregarding any shortcomings of your preferred platform.

 

Simply owning and using any given platform does not make you a fanboy.

Alright let me say it in other words: I prefer consoles because they're cheap, and not as expensive as a PC. Happy now?

[mkey82]

You may want to reread what I wrote.

[Alpha55]

Would be stupid not to think a PC version was in the works. We all know it won't be out at least 6 months after the console versions but it isn't a matter if it's a matter of when.

You have perfectly ignored everything I have said so far. How do you know that people wanted rather Red Dead Redemption than L.A. Noire on PC? Have you studied marketing and have you made statistics that you can prove that? You should do some research to all things I have said so that you know I'm right. By the way it makes absolutely no sense to say that Rockstar would port their, how you call it, "smaller games" to PC but their bigger games not. They would make much more profit in porting their big games for PC rather than their "smaller games". It makes not sense at all. Like I said before Red Dead Redemption came never for PC because the game was developed by Rockstar San Diego, a studio whose last game for PC came out 9 years ago. L.A. Noire was developed by Team Bondi. Rockstar North, Rockstar San Diego and so on have helped in the development of that game. Rockstar Leeds ported L.A. Noire to PC. All points you have enumerated aren't really valid. I'm afraid.

[PowerKracker]

Let's hope this thread doesn't devolve into people arguing about non-existent Xbox 360 emulators or something else.

People thought GTA IV wouldn't come out for PC either, yet it did. What we should be concerned about is if the PC port is ass like GTA IV.
