Mike0 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) We should petition Rockstar to release a limited quantity Blu Ray version for collectors and owners of BluRay enabled PCs. GTA IV was also a good candidate, because it was on 2 DVDs, with BluRay you dont have to change DVDs and it also looks nice. What do you think ? Would you buy a BluRay version just because it "looks better", like collectability etc.... Currently it looks like they are not doing Blu, but it would be a good idea. I know DVD has a bigger install base on PCs. Doesnt this make you feel all fuzzy inside PC gamers Edited January 17, 2015 by Mike0 MythAlex, Tikhung and Thalyn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolstream Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 GFW will not be like in GTA IV. It won't be in any future game and will be painfully removed from all past games if the gaming Gods are kind to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madjoki Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 The games for windows part makes me sick to my stomach and thanks for making me throw up a bit in my mouth. Games for Windows and Games for Windows Live are two different things, although many times confused. Games for Windows = Console like certification and branding for PC. Can be used for Steam games too. Games for Windows Live = Microsoft bad response to Steam, also discontinued so no new game can use it.

EvilFiend Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I got unlimited interwebz so I dont buy hard discs anymore like ever...

ViceCityStalker Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Yeah I know they`re two different things but it just gives me bad GFWL flashbacks man. Edited January 18, 2015 by ViceCityStalker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleph-Zero Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Yeah, i'm sure the 2 people who own a Blu-Ray driver will sign this petition. Sorry, but unless demand is actually high enough, Rockstar won't do it and i'm afraid to say that with everything moving to the cloud and software market going digital it's never gonna have enough demand. Heck, most modern build don't even come with a DVD drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, most modern build don't even come with a DVD drive. Rockstar doesn't even care about the Physical version, they advertise the Digital version (especially Warehouse edition) like there's no tomorrow. With this, I can and it is safe to say PC games will be fully digital very very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolstream Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I don't see the point, it's just a disc. I dont even have a disc drive in my rig I had to buy one to install GW2 when I picked it up 75% off from EB I'm in the same boat, got an extremely old portable drive that I'll probably never need to use again.

Kris194 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) How many people here have Blu-Ray drive that supports BD-R XL 100GB discs? 10? Edited January 18, 2015 by Kris194 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intstringeger Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 But unless the PC gaming industry goes totally digital (which may be the case) they'll have to move on to blu-ray sooner or later, I can't see them shipping games in 50 DVDs.

It will be the case. Like I said, if you received the latest Rocktar Propaganda. You will see they never even mentioned the physical release as if it doesn't even exist. To be honest, this is actually good. It means Rockstar finally realized most PC sales are from the Digital version.

splintter Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Even Bluray is bigger, it is slower than DVD right? I think they prefer DVD to minimize install times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babo Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Even Bluray is bigger, it is slower than DVD right? I think they prefer DVD to minimize install times... Yeah I've had slow blu ray players in the past but you would only need to install once, maybe a few times over a couple years, so it wouldn't be too much hassle anyway. I think the only reason is because most people have computers with CD/DVD drives but not BD drives. My guess is that in around 10 years, they'll be selling games, movies and music stored in flash memory instead of optical discs. Even then, sales of digital copies will dominate.

Unless comparing fast DVD drive to slow Bluray drive. This is why you can't split Bluray movies to multiple DVDs and watch with player with HD-support, drive would read disc too slow to play at real time.

xy-maps Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) I hope sometime there will be games on Blu-Rays... How long did it take from CD to DVD? Imagine games come still out on CDs...

Madjoki Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I really doubt it ever happens, digital sales are very popular and blu-ray isn't gaining any popularity on PCs. Many in fact, choose to leave optical drive out of PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K20 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 they should have given the blu-ray option for V. i hate "please insert disc 2" every fcukin time i want to install it. Laqueesha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
