Paladin Goo Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I find it doubtful that they'll delay it a 3rd time. There's only 3 weeks left. And sure they did this before. But last time they delayed it only by a month. When they delayed it back in January.. it was like.. 3 months. If they delay it again, they would probably only delay it a week lol They already delayed it a third time. A month ago. This would be the 4th.

gtafan001 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 We shouldn't believe the sh*t they respond on twitch. How the hell do you imagine them saying "The game is delayed" on the twitch chat section and not posting that on their website?

aerhx Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Will everyone shut the f*ck up and just wait for the f*cking announcement and/or game?

ARC8_1982 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 They delayed it so many times, one more time wont change the fact Pc gamers have to wait eternity for anything, not just the game, but literally anything from them, apart from GTA 4 & EFLC previous GTA's came out in May or June including latest PC game from them - Max Payne 3, so expect the expected, May or June release. My only gripe about it, is they should delayed once by a six months, without confusing we get everytime theyre polishing it so hard ? The game is not ready, apparently, even though they said back in December the game is in final development stages, im assuming they're having serious problems with the game as it takes ages, and still no confirmation of April's release. Low numbers of online players suggests otherwise, i doubt they release the game without 90 or more online players, that's whats tests are for.... PC gamers know for a long time, that consoles are a priority, everything else including PC version "is up for a consideration".

Sleepy Dude Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 GTA5 has been delayed numerous times, but despite that, PC is still a more relevant market than the Wii U. PC is the MOST relevant market. Steam has a higher active online player count than both current gen consoles and past gen. Also, unlike console, devs dont have to worry about making the game for all the different systems and architectures. PC gaming is the future.

whats_a_username? Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) ^But they do have to worry about the wide array of hardware that people are using on PC. They have to make sure that the game can run on most of that hardware. With consoles, it's only 2 different hardware setups (XBONE and PS4). So your statement bites itself in the ass. PC has a lot more different hardware setups. ------------- The reason it's taking so long is because Dr. Mantis Toboggan wanted access to the files, to add something exclusive for the PC version.

oaoso Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 GTA5 has been delayed numerous times, but despite that, PC is still a more relevant market than the Wii U. . Also, unlike console, devs dont have to worry about making the game for all the different systems and architectures. PC gaming is the future. This is completely wrong. With consoles, they only have to worry about making it for specific systems and architectures, far fewer than PC. With PC you have to take into account different graphics cards/video memory/manufacturers, operating systems, CPUs, amounts of RAM, etc. The combinations and differences from user to user are immense. It's much easier developing for a console because everything is uniform when there are only a few systems and every user has the exact same specs. Debugging for PC is also a lot hairier with all of the different set ups people may have i.e. trying to recreate issues on specific set ups. I absolutely prefer PC gaming, but dont get it twisted. Console gaming is the #1 market because of how much easier it is for developers. PC gaming will lag behind unless something like Steam Machines are able to invade a living room. The PC is still seen as an office machine by a majority of people, not as an entertainment hub, but that is changing all the time. The PC is catching up after starting to fall behind in the late 90s, but its still got a way to go to upend the console. PC is obviously the "best", but its not the #1 market. Regardless, this thread is so full of batsh*t insanity. There is no magic deadline that will tell us anything about a delay being announced or not. Regardless of Steam's "two week notice" malarkey about delays, do you think Rockstar give a crap? If they want to delay it a week before release, they will and Valve would grin and bear it b/c the game is going to be their #1 seller for the entire year. If they want to delay it the day before pre-loads are due to begin, they can. There is nothing anyone can do other than cancel their preorder or not buy the game when it does come out. Until you're downloading the game, anything is possible. However, there is absolutely no reason to fear a delay right now, regardless of past delays. Setting arbitrary deadlines for news or lack thereof is pointless and completely lacking any sort of factual backing and is purely impatient Chicken Little nonsense. Same goes for trying to guess the reason for past delays. No trailer yet means nothing. Rockstar have released PC trailers for other games the week before release and MP3 was on the release day itself. No newswire update abt the PC version means nothing. In fact, I would argue that nothing is better than something at this point as we're closer to 3 weeks away than we are to 2. Rockstar have proven time and time again to release any sort of news (good or bad) very late in the game. I would bet against a delay at this point. Considering the game's size, I personally believe we'll see pre-loads a little earlier than other games, espc since they've advertised that there will be a pre-load since pre-orders began. I think earliest pre-load start date is April 7th, latest would be the 11th. They dont have to worry about leaks or piracy with pre-loads since the data will be encrypted anyway, and we'll get a whole new batch of complainers when Steam noobs have to wait an hour on launch day for unpacking Xerukal 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/776945-pc-delay/page/13/#findComment-1067190918 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a post on this forum that someone was threatening to boycot Rockstar to get their attention. Great idea. If that were to make Rockstar lose enough money they would stop developing games for the PC. Is that what some people want?

There is a biggest online retailer in my country, At the beginning, there is only "Pre-order" version on the website. but now they update another GTA V item not "Pre-order" version, it mean if you buy this version, you won't get additional free cash,and it say you will get you physical copy in May (if you not pre-order). so i think there is no another delay.
