[V] Steam (Part 1)

[Tuskin38]

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

Of course not. They probably took what ever image they used as their source texture.

 

Not all of them though, there was a comparison screenshot where a wall had a completely different texture from the last-gen, none of the details lined up at all, so it wasn't just a higher res version of it.

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 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.

 

its not a port it willl be next gen game on pc (cause 4k resolution, and UHD textures, dx11 lighting,hi-poly models) with sys. req as a Next gen game

CLEARY not a port

The download will always be available on Steam, the only risk is a crash of the store page, it happens.

only thing there that is more than likely true is DX11(and 4k res was confirmed so that). The rest of that is pure speculation. Until rockstar says so, it isn't true.

 

DX11and 4K resolution does not mean the game was made on PC. Ports can have those features. Look at the last few Assassin's creed games, it has a bunch of PC exclusive features, but it is more then likely a port considering how poorly they ran.

 

I'm not saying it will be a port. I do not think it is a port. I'm just saying that just because a game has those PC only features, it doesn't mean it was built on the ground up on PC.

 

Considering the first PC only issue appears in the bug tracker only appears in 2012. (1 year from last gen release) Either not a lot of work was put into until then, or it wasn't started until late in development.

Just because a game runs like sh*t doesn't mean it's a port, though.

 

They can have PC as their lead build all they want, but what matters is how much they choose to optimize the game for a wider range of hardware.

 

Take for example, Watch_Dogs. The head of Ubisoft said PC was the lead platform. Everyone is calling bullsh*t on this because the game was poorly optimized. When in reality, that doesn't matter. The PC may have been the lead platform, but that doesn't mean it was optimized properly for a wider range of hardware. It was just made on PC, then ported to consoles because this is easier to do, due to the architecture.

 

What Rockstar has been doing, or more specifically, Rockstar Vancouver (now Toronto), is develop seperately for each platform. They don't have lead platforms, as they revealed in an interview regarding the PC version of Max Payne 3 way back in 2012. They work on the strengths (and weaknesses) of each platform, developing for each while taking into account their individual capabilities.

 

I'm pretty sure this is how GTA V was done for the new versions, as well. Hence how they managed to hit 1080p on Xbox One (to the surprise of many). They aren't doing simple porting jobs anymore. This is most likely the reason the last gen versions even run as well as they do. Both were worked on very extensively to be the best they can be on that ancient, 2005 hardware.

That is always a possibility as well.

 

Though, isn't it Rockstar North doing the NG versions as well? Hopefully they brought in some people in from RST to help them.

[Xerukal]

That's what I'm thinking. There were probably a few studios involved. All the major ones, I'm sure. North, Toronto and Leeds. Makes the most sense. North, because they make the core GTA games. Toronto, because they worked on the PC versions of GTA IV, EFLC and Max Payne 3. Leeds, because of their work on LA Noire's PC version.

 

It's an outsider perspective. I may be completely off base. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Although I do hope Toronto is responsible for the PC version, due to their (Vancouver's) work on Max Payne 3, and their old "learning experience" with IV/EFLC.

I think it's a multi-studio effort to be honest. Rockstar HAS learned with the IV sh*tport and they have said themselves it sucked, so I'd only expect good things.

[Choteron]

Im confident that the PC version will be amazing.

[ARC8_1982]

I know these kind of comparisons makes not much sense, but if you're able to run comfortably Assassins Creed:Unity on recommended then no need to worry, Gta V will work beautifully too. Well, if i wanted to buy AC:U for PC i also should buy completely new computer, as my current computer is way bellow the minimum. I guess i need to start saving money, and then, maybe in a couple years (probably 5), im going to be able to buy new a new computer a budget one that is, not high end I waited far too long, simple upgrade of my current computer wouldnt make much sense, i just wouldnt gain much power by doing so, games these days are so demanding

[Spider-Vice]

AC Unity is the first game ever that I can't play even on minimum because of the GPU. I know it's old but Jesus Christ.

[Antaxi]

btw gta v is very far aka pc game only
R* doesn't care about this platform, we'll can expect worst and best in the same time

it's not depend on us

[ARC8_1982]

^ Spider-Vice, yes i know the feeling, especially Unity should be very,very good, atleast so i heard on the internet.

[Paramontana]

i cant wait till the game comes out haha so i can start putting gta v online vids on youtube:P

[Spider-Vice]

Gameplay, sure. The PC port? Definitely not! Ubisoft is much worse than Rockstar to PC gamers. They're limiting the FPS and their PC ports have been sh*t after sh*t after sh*t, I don't expect much different from AC Unity.

Pretty sure you will be fine. Devs don't tell us at which resolution are these requirements.

[Marc79]

I'll see soon how Unity runs on my setup, I have it on steam waiting for download in about 24 hours.

They seem to have an entirely separate marketing plan in store for the PC version.

 

They'll talk about it and release those new PC screens as we get closer to PC release. Until then, it's all PS4/XB1 coverage.

Well, the PC version is not coming out yet. In a few weeks we will have trailers that only have PC in the end.

[Choteron]

Yes, PC trailer will comes a week before the release

[arrout]

I think that the PC version trailer will be focused on the video editor and the screens in the 4K (specially if PCGamer gets the trial), but we can also predict another things like the requirements and an answer for the modder community.

Makes complete sense to add the PC tag on a NEXT GEN CONSOLES trailer... *sarcasm alert*

[Yoona]

So do you think they'll bother with 2-3 trailers for PC version?

Or just release one Launch trailer 1-2 weeks before release?

And soon they will release the TV trailer.

4 trailers in two weeks. That is insane for R!
