[V] Steam (Part 1)

[DaRkL3AD3R]

Why unknown? R* never delayed a specific release date. If they say Winter 2015, it's a 100% confirmed delay. But if it is January 27, it is January 27.

 

The fact that they told their fans a week before the delay info drop, that the game was still coming to all platforms on fall, tells me that I can't trust a single word out of their mouths (or fingers?)

 

Also compound this with the fact that they control the listed release date on Steam, and have YET to f*cking update the page to confirm a January 27th release date and instead show an "Early 2015" means to me, DO NOT GET YOUR HOPES UP. These jackasses are specifically leaving the PC release date vague so they can push it back again when they see the next gen console sales of their game continue on into winter. If it dries up say around December, then they will continue with the January 27th release date. But if it sells really good like still selling in January, prepare for another "oh oh we need to optimize the game some more guise it's almost done we want it to be good for you"

 

 

Rockstar when thinking of PC gamers:

Don't forget that it was just Rockstar's support that said so.

They give em the info they want, and even at that time, it might have been outdated.

I don't think Rockstar Support knows a LOT more than we do.

you cant pre-order it

(take two stocks rise up to 10) and they want more

 

You can preorder it from several retailers, including Rockstar themselves. Steam isn't the only store in the entire world.

They know about as much as we do - likely less in some areas. At one point support personnel was split between 2K and Rockstar - probably still the case.

I don't care about achievments, I'd rather have fun playing it.

 

'cause we all know doing both is impossible for anyone on earth since it's impossible for you.

 

It would be easy for me to get every achievement on those nowadays casual games if I wanted to, but I enjoy playing games in my way of playing games rather than bothering doing 5 headshots in a mission or killing someone with a knife, or some other bullsh*t, mainly when it's my first playthrough on the game. This is the true achievement of a game, not the "press 'start game' to gain a trophy".

 

If you take a look at my steam profile, I have nearly 134 hours of Devil May Cry 3 gameplay, 78 hours of GTA IV (I didn't beat it yet because I'm lazy), ~80 hours of Simcity 4 and 140 hours of GTA TBoGT gameplay and I haven't bothered to achieve a single achievement on these games, I don't need that because I know how to have fun on a game by myself instead of needing that a company says how to have fun on it by putting some bronze trophies that will award me nothing...

 

BTW: Before buying DMC 3 on steam, I had 80 hours on Dante save file and I had only 99hours on Vergil save because the game can only count at 99:99:99, I must had nearly 200 hours of gameplay on the Vergil save file on the "yar har" version of the game.

 

 

 

Point was (since apparently nobody in the internet is capable of getting the simplest ones):

Not everything is about you.

They need time to make the golden discs that will be distributed around the word so the publishers can make the copies and distribute to stores. Thus, I really think that this will happen near december 12th and then the steam preorders will open. Near january 24 the steam will allow for pre loading... and then we'll be happy

[BS_BlackScout]

I hope Steam servers don't explode due to the high download demand...

Also hoping for a good D/L speed >.<

They've already suggested a pre-load phase is the best option, so you'll have 5 days to week to pick your download time, before the 27th.

[Choteron]

Do you think that next week we will get more news?

[Uncle Sikee Atric]

Next week? Not a chance for PC news.

 

First chance for our version news is early december, but it might be as late as new year.

[rest1]

yes but nothing for pc. i expect trailer for consoles maybe tv commercial

[Choteron]

Yes i also dont expect news for PC until end of December.

But i wonder what they will release the next week. More screenshots, a new video, more previews?

[Uncle Sikee Atric]

I doubt we'll actually see much new upto the launch now.... They've basically released all the info that they need to, plus people have been playing it on console over a year and already decided if they are gonna buy it or not. There is hype for this launch sequence, but it's mainly within the community. If players do not know of the launch, they have basically been sat in a darkened room with earmuffs and a blindfold on.

 

If there were tv slots etc, they would be already screening those from about 3 weeks to go.

There is like 40 people in the whole PC section of gta v.

That doesn't really matter, this forum doesn't represents every of who is waiting for the game...

IMO, the PC Version will be the one which will sell the most, if not, the NG Version isn't going to sell much more than the PC, it'll be a minor diference...

Let's wait for 01/27 to see what happens

It's because there is nothing interesting going on regarding to the PC version at the moment.

Hey bro.

 

Seeing this just saddens me.. a whole PC community just vanished. only console (people) running around.

What do you expect, consoles are getting special treatment, whilst PC players are getting the usual runaround, with no release date yet on steam nor pre-order. Maximize them profits.

[jippa_lippa]

Everybody's Getting fiber around me expect for me, lol

Living in the "rural" part of the city has many benefits, but the slow internet is a major downside.

Fortunately i have started playing only single player games.

I'm getting GTA V retail because such a huge download on steam would take a million hours

I don't care about multiplayer that much, even GTA, and the only uncomfortable thing will be downloading the witcher 3 :S

I remember when i played GTA IV multiplayer. I loved it, and i spent years playing it, but it was laggy as hell!

Yeah marc that's kinda obvious . Either way I don't have problem with rockstar making money because its = better game.

 

But on the other hand, this crazy year and a half gap is just too much to suffer..

 

@kidfromconsolestreet , man. PC forever

[Tuskin38]

Yep, they wouldn't announce it supports 4K if it wasn't a true 4K, not just lame ass upscaling from 1080p or 1440p.

And most definitely PS4 and Xbox One are ports from PC version.

Just because it supports 4K doesn't mean it was developed first on PC.

 

GTA4 has a wide range of resolutions and it was a port.

 

Anyways, I plan on getting the X-Box One version, and then selling it in January and using that money towards the PC version.

Guys, let the thread die for a while, we are talking about stuff we talked a couple of weeks ago.

You'll go insane talking about the same thing over and over again.

Is it a big problem to get your house connected to the fiber net?, do they charge a high installation price?

I agree and have basically been saying this for awhile. This thread is pointless and keeping it open is making it act as a one-stop-dump for us PC players. And the ONLY slightly relevant aspect of this topic that people consistently bring up, is a magic number that changes at random throughout the day saying someone is "playing" GTA V on Steam. Spam, really.

Dude, it for sure was.

It was developed on PC first, then downgraded into "last gen" mode for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Then it was ported to Xbox One and PS4 within a year - year and half.

They had the best quality assets in 4k and they could downgrade from that, Xbox One and PS4 are much easier to port from PC as they are in x86 architecture.

Ain't nobody gonna tell me that Xbox One and PS4 are not PC ports, stop cheating yourself.

Do you really think they would develop game for PS3 and Xbox 360 first, then they would remake every texture and other things in game for 1080p for PS4, and then port from PS4 to Xbox One so they could finally port it to PC?

I didn't say it was a port. I was saying, just because a game supports a high screen resolution doesn't mean it was made on PC first.

 

4k Means the screen resolution not the asset resolution. 3840 x 2160 (or 4096 x 2160)

 

I don't think it is a port. The fact that the PC version is mentioned as far back as June 2012 in the Build Log on the disc of the PS3/360 versions proves that it was branched off from the Console version early on in development.

Yes, I know but it would make sense every detail was made in as high resolution as possible so they don't have to re-do whole game to have it running in true 4K with everything really detailed.

And about 2012 build logs, yes that's the main evidence I was talking about. It just can't be a port.

Well they've said in the interviews this past week that they re-did assets for Next-Gen/PC.

Of course they would say this to boost sales, It may be partially true and may apply to some of the assets.

They can't be that stupid to have PS3 assets as a base to go higher from lol
