Why is GTA5 not releasing on PC day 1?

But the pc will get a next-gen version, as always.

Alienware_fan

A poorly optimized one at that, I remember I waited for GTA 4 PC version, then couldn't run the thing when it released even though I had a decent system, bought an Xbox and glad I did, didn't have to worry about whether my games would run anymore ...come to think of it GTA 4 is the game that got me into console gaming, ahhh memories

Of which they fixed right after release with a patch.

GTA4 is best because it was more mature but still over the top.

but GTA5 will be crap like older games. i dont see the apeal of these games. all it has is over the top that ppls call "fun", immature dating and night club scenes and blah blah blah.

mafia 1 is still better than any GTA game.

Google translate tells me that means "free delivery". That's a good thing right :P?Sushiglutton

Yup :P

Pretty much the only exculsive console game I'm jealous of.. Have fun guys. I will be waiting for my pc version..

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"] You don;t play at 853x480 because its not your monitor's native res and the pixel density will be too low for that size. Wait,let me guess.You are one of those people who think that 720p on YOUR monitor looks as good as 1280x720 on a 17.5" monitor with native res of 720p.

The screenshot with amata proves that vanilla pc and ps3 are almost identical.I provided screenshots to prove my point.Max settings on PC=PS3. You have been proven wrong by the evidence.Just saying that vanilla PC version is vastly better won't change the screenshots that I posted.

Did you start gaming on a PC in 2012?Because that's the year when EVERY game had a FAR superior PC version,with better lighting,shadows,textures and all that jazz.Almost all multiplats were ports from 2005-2010,having no advantage on PC other than res,aa,af and framerate.

call_of_duty_10

1280x720 look exactly like a native res on a 2560x1440 monitor because it is exactly 4 times smaller.(4 pixels behave like 1 big pixel)

If Fallout 3 with Max settings on PC=PS3 as you say, then why it plays on my pc like that without even using mods 2560x1440, 8xAA, 16xAF, better shadows, better lighting, larger view distance, larger fov, and double the fps? can ps3 do 1/10 of all of these? don't think so:lol:

Pixel density also deepens on the viewing distance, so your suggestion is to go 10m a way from the screen so you can not tell the difference between high rez and low, but getting too away there is simply no viewing experience whatsoever.

Also fact remains if i want to play fallout3 i can like that: 2560x1440, 8xAA, 16xAF, better shadows, better lighting, larger view distance, larger fov, and double the fps without even using mods. even some of the screenshots you post show what i am saying.

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"] No,that's not how it works.The size of one pixel is huge on your screen.Pixel density is sh!t. And it doesn't have better shadows,fov and lighting on your PC....Its just that you are delusional.This discussion ends now.The screenshots have proven you wrong,and you have posted nothing to counter them.lowe0

In a dedicated home theater, sure. But if I tried to position my couch for SMPTE spec (let alone THX spec), my living room would be unnavigable.

Practical concerns come first. I have to live in my home, not just game in it.

Which is why PC:

-Has had every GTA so far, and far far better version of said GTA.

-Far more gamers than any single console.

-Far more games and exclusives than console.

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"] Funny,how you assume that I do not have a gaming PC. Unless you are talking about MODDED version,that's BS.The difference between 360 and pc(maxed) versions for FO3 is negligible.call_of_duty_10

negligible:?:lol:

unmodded Fallout 3 2.5x bigger rez, better shadows, better lighting, larger view distance, larger fov, and double the fps

And the other stuff barely looks better on PC.

Dunno why I am posting these,though.

You are just going to say that the PC has better shadows and lighting,even though the evidence above proves otherwise.The view distance won't change the gameplay.The AI is designed for the draw distance that consoles use.FOV is same.

LOL "smaller screen(17.5") = 1080p on 24" screen" what is totally wrong:lol:. let put it this way:

A) person A is sitting 10 metters away form screen(40' 720p)
B) person B is sitting 10 metters away form screen(100' 1080p)
how is going to get better viewing experience? person B

it is a fact that if i want i can play fallout3 without mods and still get 2560x1440, 8xAA, 16xAF, better shadows, better lighting, larger view distance, larger fov, and double the fps without even using mods. For example consoles have shadow resolution 512x512(or something like that), on pc if i want i can turn the shadow resolution all the way up to 4096x4096, guess what that is better shadows... same goes for the rest...)

woah woah woah back up a second....

there are people out there who still game on pc's??

wow. Mind blown.
