ahh useless updates, we can expect thousands updates per. months but its just nothing to do to initial project release, i'd prefer to see official news on newswire
change numbers is it's only indicate which game in development, but dont know when change number will be the last

Agree... Every year we ask about this

[Uncle Sikee Atric]

Might just be a late Christmas present this year. I have a feeling it'll open over the Christmas break....

today is dec 9 not too much time to Christmas! let's wait and see

[ChumCrumpet]

I suppose any early release has been trumped by the rapidly approaching Christmas holidays. They wouldn't release it days before Christmas or day before/after New Year, so I think any early release is shot unless they decide to send it out in a weeks time, or send it out a few weeks before the 27th which is again, very unlikely. But enough negativity!

 

We've had a load of updates today which is great. Some people think "oh it's just big fix it could be ANYTHING it doesn't mean anything!" but of COURSE it means something. If it meant nothing they why hasn't it been happening over the past month? What I said about 15 pages back about this month being busy now that NG is released is finally coming true! I'm just happy to see any general activity. I don't want an early release, I don't need a newswire post, I don't need screenshots or a trailer. All I want right now is either a preorder or an update on the actual steam page. C'mon, R*. Give us that at least.

[uJhatafart00]

I don't ask for much, just please not another delay. Idk why but I see a spring release more likely everyday...

[jdwarfer]

I don't know what to think about those "updates". I never got interested by these details with my other games. So I don't have any comparison.

For me it means something is made but what exactly I don't know.

I also see players on the graph.

Last one today. Just for few minutes.

I want to know when it goes gold. I don't think it has been said about NG versions.

[Uncle Sikee Atric]

They delayed the PC version already.... Janurary seems to be pretty solid for the release date and the rapid updates suggest they really are pushing for the gold version before the Christmas break.

 

The consoles also get 'gold' versions since their discs are produced from it. It's just a production milestone and not generally announced, but everyone know what devs mean when they say they have finished development of a game, it means the gold disc, ie: version 1.0 (Or in our case, V1.19 is it with Heists?) has been produced.

 

I really do think the official announcements will be made 'around' the month to go point, R* seem to like Tuesdays for their announcements, with Thursdays for game updates. Since Christmas Day and New Years' Day are Thurdays this time, that rules them out, but I can see Tuesday the 30th for the announcement, specs and opening of the pre-order. Something is just telling me the Gold Version will have dropped by then.

I always thought that 27th January was a time for them because they knew they only needed a small period of time to get the full product ready to go. Leave it with enough time to do a bit of bug searching and have everything to go. I'm sure they've left it with enough time at hand to get it shipped.

[BS_BlackScout]

Wow, even more updates

Normally I'd agree with the 27th for the announcements, but this month it is a Saturday and just after Boxing Day. Any R* employee in that day will be either too dedicated to his work, or drunk and asleep at his desk.

 

I know I would be!

I meant the 27th for the actual release, like I'm saying they've picked that because they know it'll be done in plenty of time for that unless they had a huge office fire or something. I'm hoping announcements will be before Christmas break but I do agree it could fall into the 30th, but it seems pretty close to New Year, I don't know if they'll be working or not.

change numbers is it's only indicate which game in development, but dont know when change number will be the last

R* ARE U f*cking kidding ME!

 

Useless updates? You'd prefer that GTA V goes gold right now, keep updating and then have to download a 20GB day one patch?

"Only 1-3 players" - Do you really think they test the game only on Steam? (hint: no).

Exactly

 

1-3 QA testers wouldn't be the total number working for R* as i'm sure they would have more testing the non steam build as well.

 

Correct me if i'm wrong

Mmmh, Rockstar Lincoln is supposedly the main Q&A.

Pretty sure Rockstar Torronto is leading on GTA V PC port right now.

[ChumCrumpet]

What time do they usually get into the offices? I assumed it'd be like a 9-6 sort of thing. Why were we getting updates at about 12am Torronto/New York time?

"But physical copies are better"

[Antaxi]

i'd expecting lots more attention from developers to the PC version
and i'm disappointed with this situation

its tottaly sucks and things goin to dust

R* better to talk with us now in this month

[GtaGamer2222]

lets see if we get anything tomorrow don't disappoint us R*

[Evan-KCR]

I want to see some 4k screens.

No proof of this. Not yet.

 

It's most likely a collaborative effort between the two studios. Since Toronto (Vancouver) and Leeds are pretty much the only two studios with experience in this realm. North hasn't done a PC version since San Andreas, if I remember correctly.

 

Toronto seems like the most obvious choice. They worked on IV and EFLC on PC, and the Vancouver branch that got merged with Toronto has worked on Max Payne 3's PC version. Don't know if the Vancouver team's employees are still the same two years later, though. They could have been let go, or just quit. With Rockstar, you never know...

No matter who is responsible for V PC this time, the outcome will blown us away

I wonder if the PS4/XB1 versions have 2k textures, because there was a file mentioning 2k textures on PC...
