    Five T Shirts

    in GTA V

    Posted · Edited by TUN3R

    Yes cause I have nothing better to do than parade around wearing over-priced T-shirts.

    There are companies that sell custom T-shirts, with whatever you want printed on 'em. "Yeah well they are not official!" Really? You think Rockstar makes those T-shirts themselves? Last I checked they were a game developer, lately a pretty bad one too.

    And in case you haven't noticed, it's winter.

    You can never assume how games are made 'on a PC', developer kits go out that are based around the CONSOLE, for those making games geared for console, this is rather common knowledge, I never use the word port, unless we know that's how a game transitions from console to PC or multiplatform, it still doesn't ever bode well for confidence in the result, so I don't like that word PORTED to be honest

    ???

    Try making sense please... just, focus, it's not hard.

    Anyway your so called "common knowledge" comes from the Xbox forums. I admit I starget getting a better idea of how things work since I started learning C, but it doesn't take a lot of computer know-how to realize that all of today's applications are made on PC's, using software designed to work on PC, not on Windows sure (although some games like GTA IV do feel like they were made on a virused PC running Windows 95 Beta...) but at their core the are programs, just like the games.

    Already been posted about, and as mentioned before, there's little doubt in most gamer's minds that the PC version will come for ultimate AAA title, but I believe Red Dead Redemption to be the best Rockstar game outside of GTA and just about everyone elses' AAA title, so it does need to come to PC, that's the one you need to harp on Rockstar about, I believe because the game is not Rockstar North, but rather San Diego, it proves a bigger challenge to move to PC hardware, but just the same, I doubt it's impossible, do you????

    So let me get this straight... games created ON PC, using PC SOFTWARE, with alpha testing done ON PC, has difficulties being made to RUN ON PC? Oh there are difficulties porting it to PC... then why port it and not develop it normally? Along with the console versions? For the sake of increasing sales on the somewhat less-pirated console versions that's why. I wonder if it ever crossed Rockstar's mind that their sales might increase if their product quality wasn't total s*it on PC, or that although GTA San Andreas was the most pirated PC game in 2005 it was also the best selling one...

    @Tuner, the only reason they gave regarding PC for RDR was that there was no plans at this time, and basically the same was said or holds true with GTA V, the concentration was on consoles, Microsoft can benefit in either regard because GTA IV was issued for PC under Games for Windows Live, MS's gaming division, and those using Windows bed know that Direct 3D Direct X API used for gaming is also their baby

    Wikipedia disagrees: http://en.wikipedia....Dead_Redemption

    In the ''Greedy motherf*ckers'' language, ''not planed'' translates to ''we haven't began workin' yet but we will release a low-budget port once we figured we can't squeeze any more money out of the consoles and make a s*it ton of money out of that instead".

    The problem remains cost and resources, the people at Rockstar with PC game making know-how are rather lacking I'd say, the time and energy and cost are all factors regardless on if the game can be developed asset wise in the same space of time

    The reasons, for neglecting PC gamers in general, are as follows:

    -Microsoft, mostly, as well as other evil companies like EA, Take-Two or Activision constantly shutting down, bribing, buying out or ''enslaving'' other developers.

    -Developers focusing more on creating hype rather than actual development, PC fans don't get hyped so easy since some or most (depending on the game) might not be able to run the game or run it well. Therfor the console market is a more convenient ''work'' field, douchebags.

    -Console prices constantly droping and clients never realizing that hardware and service quality are droping as well (or that console games are also more expensive, on the long run, console gaming is way more expensive than PC gaming). You got HBO on Xbox Live, good for you. Did you notice that it also scratches your discks every time you accidentally nudge the table or a power surge hits?

    (one million reasons later)

    -The economy.

    Hey, now, come on, Games for Windows Live is on nearly all PC games out, is it not, it's also from Microsoft, maker of all those Windows since the MSDOS dayz, and as well, Xbox, Xbox360, and your next console device I'm sure!

    Then clearly you don't play that many PC games. And Windows stopped being Microsoft's priority a long time ago.

    Windoz 8!??! Ya Heard?!???

    Besides, you must be sleeping if you missed the news that Xbox Live and Windows OS for PC will be re-transformed in the year or years ahead, the plan is to integrate them more, this could be a bad thing in some respects, but Sony too had their own vision for Playstation being a multifaceted product and a key entertainment center console, however, that dream has not materialized as one might have expected, it's still having some conviction in a product they chose to run with ultimately, and for a number of years, as it stands

    Ether that or it's just another one of the millions of rumors floating around on the internet. Knowing Microsoft, I wonder how long it will be till Windows no longer supports games...

    The biggest hurdle in some respects is Apple computing and gaming aimed at PC (IBM) users, now that Intel is "Inside" Apple products, it's not such an issue.

    Anyway, as it sounds, a Petition will not resolve the eventuality that the PC GTA 5 (assuming it is delayed of course) will be a port of a game issued to consoles, The main issue is how Rockstar have learned from any PC programming mistakes already made with past games they've issued on PC, hopefully they can iron those problems out in the future, and as long as gaming and PCs exist in our lifetime, there's little doubt some form of entertainment software will be around to run on the platforms,

    Simple: they haven't. Firstly because GTA IV wasn't ported by Rockstar North, and secondly because they are the most ignorant developers in existance, which is generally a good thing since the majority of fans are idiots, had Rockstar given a damn about what they say GTA would have become an endless seriest of Vice City remakes. In this case however...

    The problem I've always had is that more companies aren't following Rockstar's lead, where the idea behind GTA might be hard to replicate away from the Saints Row series, where it can be deemed a 'rip off' to some, but take the working, strong elements that make GTA such a blast and try and replicate it, as Battlefield 3 or Skyrim might work better for PC, they still offer the game to console owners, but it's optimized in the PC corner

    1. GTA never tried drifting away from the gameplay style shared at some point with Saints Row, but vice-versa. Which is bull**** if on Volition's side if you ask me. Like I said, one of the reasons Rockstar was so successful is that they are masters in the art of not giving a shit about anyone.

    2. Skyrim doesn't work better on PC, not on most PC's anyway. That's if we talk performance, cause as far as bugs and glitches go the PC version tops the 360 and PS3, although most of 'em are the same. I don't know about BF3 but I've played NFS The Run (also a Junkbite 2 game) and it's clear as daylight that it's not a game made for anything smaller than a $1500 rig. Not to mention it looks like crap... Frostbite 2 games tend to have this ether cyan-esque or sunset orange atmosphere all the time.

    3. If everybody were like Rockstar, it would most likely lead to one of two scenarios: A. There would be no more PC gaming. B. There would be only one game developer left, since everybody would slowly and stealthly shut or buy everybody out... and there would be no more PC gaming.

    PC gaming has been shat on so much it's no wonder devs are forgetting their roots. Only hope left is Valve, aparently they are preparing an almighty kick in the balls for Microsoft and consoles, ether that or they are making their own console...

    Regardless, at the end of the day, there should be no doubt that a PC version will be released. Seriously guys.... I don't even know what to make of people jumping to such rash conclusions based on small statements made before games are even completed. People will believe ANYTHING that is stated and then run around smacking people upside their heads for disagreeing with their obviously true facts.....

    No doubt there will be a PC version. What I'm afraid of is they'll just take the Xbox version, slap a new UI, a video editor and mouse support to it, ''write ''GAYMZ 4 WINDOWZ'' on it and BAM! PC version!

    I know what you're thinking: ''Yah well IV was just one game''. Well no, IV wasn't just one game, Rockstar has been delivering shitty ports ever since. LA Noire ran a little better than most because the graphics were from the PS2 generation. And IV was their biggest money maker at the time, you'd think they'd wanna port it themselves but nooo, they hired some unexperienced Canadians to do it.

    If they can't make a proper PC game they shouldn't make one at all, let the competition do it.

    I don't believe that either, the bigger the AAA title, the more critical the acclaim is for it, the more it's a suitable PC release, bottom line is the Housers are not PC gamers by their own personal history, I've mentioned before and it's publically reported, they came into game making from the Interactive BMG division, which was more about the music end of the Industry as I recall, they spent their youth playing consoles, and the games are built up with that market focused upon, other studios have centralized their work for PC, and they're PC gamers at heart, so you have to keep at it in terms of letting them know, you favor PC gaming, you spent plenty building your rig, and you're 'game' to buy Rockstar Games for PC.... there's always that hope alive, folks

    I don't care about the Housers, they never hesitated to give us the finger so I don't see why I should hesitate to return the favor. But I do care about GTA.

    Here's the facts: even if the developers weren't into PC games GTA I and II were released on PC first. And even IF they didn't care about PC gamers they still released PC versions of almost all the games in the series.

    If it wasn't a PC series they never should have released 'em on PC (some of them only half-developed too) in the first place, period.

    GTA: Vice City 10th Anniversary Edition Now Available for iOS & Android

    "Somehow" as in it's quite amazing how the game looks better on a phone than it does on a computer... that's just weird.

    The Android version is corrupted at the moment anyway so you'll have to stick with Steam. Check out all the 1-star ratings it's getting :/

    It's not weird. GTA VC came out 10 years ago. The real test will be with GTA San Andreas though.

    Wonder if they'll make anniversary editions for LCS and VCS as well...
