Rumor: Leaked GTA V Config Code Reveals PC, PS4 Versions

[Nemusus]

Oh, I hope this is true. My PS3 bricked up a couple of weeks ago, so I've been hoping for a PS4 version for a while. This would pretty much guarantee an early purchase of the console, so that I can work through a couple of the other launch titles before I join all the other gamers in the GTA V dimension.

What's the need of pirating when Amazon.co.uk we're dispatching copies on Friday night? Trade in price for GTA V was £70 this weekend so folks have been making good cash getting the game before release.

Just because the compile configuration exists doesn't mean they ever plan to release it. For one thing a PC version would be useful for debugging. I write computer software for a living and our build targets include ones we have never and plan never to release.

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.

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...

Different eras though. DLC wasn't as big and exploited a thing then. Sure, it happened, but not to the scale that we pretty much expect it whether we want it or not. I know exactly what you mean, in fact I traded in my Xbox copy of exactly the game you mentioned for the Xbox 360 version and the only really noticeable difference were some minor effects and achievements.

Back then it was even rare to find "complete" versions of games because of the lack of DLC, since there weren't hard drives so add-ons and updates like that were rare. I can only think of one myself. On the other hand this happens all the time now, such as with Batman Arkham City, LA Noire, Saint's Row The Third, and lots of other titles.

Edit: fixed a silly typo

Everyone knew that GTA V was going to have a PC release. And shame on those people who harassed and threatened Rockstar gaming for supposedly not doing a PC release to the point of making a petition about it.

Honestly.

Yeah well, what can I say?... You're right lol I just hope there's none of that "exclusive content" crap... Damn, I'll probably have to leave my Xbox 360 hooked up way longer than expected due to DLC What a bad timing to release good games for this generation I say hahahaha

I hope so but it could have just been there for testing, like the WOW linux client that never got used past closed beta. ( dam you bizzard

I mean i dont see why its not on PC now , when you have to stream 1/2 the data off the dick and 1/2 of the hard-drive just to get it to work you know its time to give up and move to a system where it will work correctly.

In case anyone would like the perspective of a developer, pretty much every game engine in existence has a PC build of it. It's typically faster and easier to communicate with than a console, so this helps artists and designers iterate on in-game content quicker.

And, just to get completely pedantic, that isn't 'code'. It looks to be an XML config file, probably used at build time.

So, this doesn't mean there definitely will be a PC version, but it also doesn't mean there won't. I'm guessing Rockstar will do what they normally do with a PC release.

Looks fishy since it isn't exactly code you would use in a game. I'm not dissmissing a future PC release though (RDR never got a port due to it's coding from what i've readed).
