Sortof, GTA4's port was pathetic and as of yet Red Dead Redemption has not been released on PC.TheScottishMexican42 said:Are we really so surprised? We all kinda saw it coming anyway, especially the PC version.
its possibly because you can only make so much with 512 mb of ram of old consoles, and those pedestrians take a lot of it. any normal system can handle a lot more of it.Ultratwinkie said:Most likely, the newer versions will have higher definition and even more peds on the streets. Because the major complaint about GTA V on leaks is how dead the sidewalks are compared to how many cars are on the streets.Icehearted said:If this gets released on next gen consoles how much you wanna bet it'll be a more "complete" version of this game?
I don't mind personally. Whatever platform I'd play this on I'd want free online, so PS4 and either Xbox console would be out anyway.
Then again, no one walks in Los Angeles. So it may stay the same.
I can hear the shit storm now when people feel rockstar pulled a bait and switch and the better version is the next gen version.
if you think Rome II and Aliens were bad, we haven't seen anything yet.
so far they have been successfully avoiding any commentary on PC.Guitarmasterx7 said:Wait... Hasn't rockstar themselves said it was coming to PC and next gen or did I just assume that? Could have sworn I at least saw them say it was coming to the PC.
People that complain about that are assholes, there is a very big possiblility that there will be a PC version and a slightly less that there will be a next gen version so with that all people have to do is wait a bit, even if nothing comes out they are rewarded with a drop of price.Ultratwinkie said:Most likely, the newer versions will have higher definition and even more peds on the streets.

This time around, the newest consoles on the block are pretty comparable to and compatible with bog standard current PC architecture. So, if they play it right, the PC version will be just as awesome as the PS4/XB1 ones. From where I am sitting, a Linux version of next-gen console games would be the most natural and simple thing.unstabLized said:Well this is hopeful I guess, but I won't hold my breath until it's announced and it's a better port than the god-awful GTA4 port.
BUt we already knew that anyway from the get go.Ultratwinkie said:So all the console gamers who bought it early get screwed.
But it wouldn't be cheaply then would it. If they didn't get it on console and want it on PC, they probably don't own a console, and never will, so it would be the cost of the game + $120ish for the console (or whatever they cost, I've never followed console pricing).Shadow-Phoenix said:I'm very sure that has happened to many a game before.Doom972 said:Can't see them releasing RDD for the PC? similar things happened in past. There have been PC versions that came out years after their console release.
I was also trying to convey that some who have yet to play it in the meantime can still buy it cheaply on the two consoles or choose to wait for however long it takes for Rockstar to decide on making a PC version.
GTA 4 ran on PC fine compared to consoles anyway, it's just that it ran fairly badly on everything. But people with uber rigs will be louder about it than people on 360/PS3, despite the 'uber rigs' running it at settings which blew the console version away. The equivalent console settings on PC GTA 4 are all the sliders all the way to the left after all.Headdrivehardscrew said:This time around, the newest consoles on the block are pretty comparable to and compatible with bog standard current PC architecture.

However, there's just no guarantee for anything these strange days.

Not necessarily, when Hitman: Blood Money (I THINK it was blood money...) came to PS2 and Xbox it was later released to the Xbox 360, with nothing more than graphical update. I don't like the idea of this game getting released for next generation though, waste of my money that I bought it for a soon to be retired console then... i mean, this isn't a short game, it's a long game, I'm actually delaying my PS4 release because I'll be playing GTA V...Icehearted said:If this gets released on next gen consoles how much you wanna bet it'll be a more "complete" version of this game?
