RIP Hermits: GTA V PC delayed to March 24

Well there's so many games to play on the PC, it doesn't really matter to me. That's my view anyway.

Where as i'm getting increasingly impatient with the current gen consoles.

I'll have played and beat it twice by then..lolz

crap. now what am i going to play?

*looks at backlog on PC alone*

sigh.....well better get to it.

note to self: gta4 is on that backlog. i probably should finish that :S.

Good *Lord* that HD space requirement! It takes 8 Dual-Layer DVD-9s to store that! Or 1 Blu-Ray...

The RAM, CPU and Video processing requirements are all well in line and not out of the ordinary. Overall it looks promising.

The devs also need to shut up and quit hyping stuff until after the game is finished.

Still better than waiting 15 months for a good game.

Hope the port turns out great because GTA5 is fantastic. If I ever build another gaming PC Ill get it for the mods alone.

Eh GTA5 sucks. Got the PS4 version and it's the same as the last couple GTA games. It seems the larger the worlds they make the more the games suffer.

Is that something to brag about? I'll never get PC gaming. I can still run most games with a console released in 2005.

It means this game will be playable on a wide range of systems, and thus a very good port. Not hard to understand.

beated the game twice and played many hours online, now i'm just waiting for R* new game. hopefully it will be Red Dead 3

Yes.

minimum specs remind me of Crysis 2007

4870 you will be missed

PC has no games... nuff said.

So for PC its: "Oldness awaits....awaits.....And awaits.....and awaits....And when the rest of the world is finished...here."

Same day as Bloodborne??? Screw that!

For 1 or 2 games every few years, that description is quite accurate. Fortunately they do make it to PC, and are usually considerably superior. The teased screenshots for GTAV-PC cement this truth. But this is not an issue:

PC has too many games for 1 or 2 major delays every 5 years to matter. Each console has considerably fewer high scoring and/or overall titles released every year compared to PC, even at their prime. You never hear about "game droughts" on PC, like you would with consoles during their birth/death period in a given gen. A NaughtyDog or HaloGearsForza game gets delayed?.... ouch, probably going to be playing that latest CoD for a few more months to a year.

Delays on PC? A non issue. The yearly library is too robust, while getting nearly all multiplats in a superior form.

As long as PC gamers keep on supporting Rockstar this will continue to happen.

how dare they take time to polish the defnitive version? yeah pc gamers should not support them and not have their games at all.

Oh no and we were all waiting for one of the most boring sandbox games.

Polish? Are you kidding? Do you really believe that they are polishing the PC version for 1.5 years after putting the 4 console versions out? Wake up! They are busy milking the console gamers and don't care about their PC fanbase. Hell they didn't even announce the PC version at first because they know that no matter what people will buy their game day 1 on consoles and then re-buy it for PC at full price later. Rockstar always does that, greedy bastards. I'll not support a company that doesn't respect its fanbase.

yes, i know it has better graphics. But no one cares about gta v because its old news. you had to wait ages for a few small improvements.

1. You ignored everything he said. He did not mention graphics, he mentioned the amazing mods.

2. Waiting "ages" isn't an issue when your system has more high scoring releases than any console, every year. This is a system where age doesn't matter. We don't "move on" to the next CoD or movie-game....waiting months without anything to play. Gaming doesn't come in timed chunks, its constant.

3. http://media.rockstargames.com/rockstargames/img/global/news/upload/pcmichael_full.jpg GOD DAMN

I'm not going to lie, that looks exactly like the PS4 version.

And damn those system specs...are quite loww..

Meh, got tons of games to complete while I wait. Thank you Steam sales ;)

certainly something that is possible

business is business

Wow my PC could actually run this very well. Wtf is up with 65 gigs though?

I might pick GTA V on PC when it inevitably drops below $5. I was bored to tears playing GTA IV so I don't have high hopes for this sequel.

This is actually good news... I am broke until March. Can only imagine what the game will look like once the textures get nodded.

@davillain-:

It's a good thing I upgraded my 2 x 128GB Samsung 840 Pros just days before... Now I'll have plenty of space with 2 x 256GB 850 Pros.

65 GB even with 15 MB/s download is going to make me cry waiting over an hour to finish.

@osirisx3: lol. Who cares if you beat the game. Who are you again? Don't give a ratsass if console peasants beat it earlier or not. I have too many games to play. Wasn't going to pre order GTA anyways.

@l0ngshot: im a pc gamer and your're super butt hurt

you have so many games yet your here begging for ports and hyping the hell out of tiny improvements.

@osirisx3: Never begged for any console game. Looks like you're the butthurt one that can't fathom games can go multi platform. Why are they going multi platform? Didn't R* make enough money from consoles? FYI I haven't played GTA 4 for more than 2 hours and I don't intend to play GTA 5.

Actually the ps4 and xbone versions were released this november so feel free to make more bs. They announced the pc version way before they released the new gen versions so feel free to make more conspiracy theories, and if you don't want to support them that's your problem, stop spreading bullshit and lies.

@zeeshanhaider: PC gamers don't support anyone hardly....that's why this sort of thing happens.

@mr_huggles_dog: Source?

I'm not just talking about the PS4 and xbone versions. What year did PS3 and 360 versions released in? Did they announce the PC version with 360 or PS3 versions even though everyone knew it was coming? They did the same thing with GTA IV, LA Noir. It goes back to GTA III. At least in the PS2 days they had a contract with Sony, what's stopping them now? They have the capability to release the PC version the same day as the console versions yet they always delay it because they know gamers like you will be happy to give them your money anyways. It's as bad as FROM Software shipping DS2 without DX11 only to sell it afterwards.

Explain Star Citizen then. Is that the reason why Dark Souls sold more on PC than on consoles or why more and more former console exclusive devs have started supporting PC?

Not seen anyone post the real probable reason for the delay.

Go up against The Witcher 3 and potentially lose sales, due to it being a popular PC centric series. Or delay and maximise it's potential as now it's coming out the same day as Bloodbourne and it's doubtful many PC gamers give a f*ck about that.

Or why PC gaming is now bringing in more worldwide revenue for both hardware and software than the consoles combined?

Dear Rockstar. thanks for the 18 month late port.

As a consequence, I am going to obtain a copy. then buy it on steam for £7 18 months later.

Eye for an Eye.

Thanking you.

Master Race.

No just no, its because they need the mad rush crazy high sales that happens on consoles within the first few weeks to make their money back quickly so they can go to the next project.... They spent 265 million on GTA 5 at its release of 2013. Pc gaming sales are nothing like consoles, the sales are more consistent and steady over a long period of time and they continue to make money long after the console market gets flooded by pre owned copies. GTA 4, La Noire, Maxpayne 3 etc has made Rockstar more profit on pc then consoles because of steam.

so mr_huggles continues to be wrong in his ongoing attempts to fight the "oppressive" PC users on this forum

Good stuff

"for 1.5 years after putting the 4 console versions out?"

"for 1.5 years after putting the 4 console versions out?"

"for 1.5 years after putting the 4 console versions out?"

Yes, you were clearly talking bs, anyway don't buy it if you don't like it, i know i will.

I hope those are taken up by higher resolution resources.

Using more space seems to be the case for newer games. A good example is FC4. FC4 takes up 30.8Gb while FC3 took up only 9.6Gb.

@l0ngshot: lol wut the game was a muilty plat day one. what i cant stand is when my fellow hermits act like they are better then everyone even when they are in the wrong.

Open image in new tab, GS forums resize is pix-elating it.

poor pc bum race.

oh a second attempt!

Yup, more and more console exclusive franchises keep coming to PC. Games like tekken, final fantasy, MGS, games that used to only appear on consoles are all now on PC.

You seriously have no idea what you are talking about, do you ?

@mikehockbourns: that makes no sense

I second that.

First they cost to much, and then pc users are bums aren't bums poor?

lostrib you bum.
