Never again. If you add Windows Live b0llocks to this game, I'll pass. I promise.

Eh, I have the 360 version. I will be getting GTA 5 for PC only if it isn't a sh*tty console port. If it is, I'll pass.

But not 1080P 60FPS and the same level of AA. Granted the PS4 has decent AA compared to the XB1 but it still makes the games a bit more blurry than PC grade AA.

I find it funny that they said "Fall" but PC is being delayed a few months more. Wonder if it is to optimize it or to further increase their profits off of this game.

It is truly sad though. They are going to make double their money on some people (people with 360s/3 versions going to XB1/PS4 versions) and people who bought it for one console and want it on PC.

I guess I am just a tad annoyed that the PC version got delayed at all. No idea why but I guess a big company with a proven good PC sales track record (all the GTA series and MP series) is not enough.

I truly doubt there will be nearly as much optimizations needed. In fact the best method would be to dev for the PC then port to the new consoles as they can make it optimized on PC then each console (XB1 will be easier due to it being x86/Windows kernel/DX11.X).

Did anyone bother to tell Rockstar that January 27th comes after the holiday purchasing season?

I'ts also pretty screwed up how consoles will have a RE-RELEASE before PC even experiences any launch for the title . Nonetheless, it's better than what we've had up until now. If only RDR could head the PC way next, been waiting too long for that title.

Just remember, the PC version will have one of the best feature that none of these consoles have, a freaking video editor which is probably one of the best feature of GTA IV for PC. The video editor on IV is far from great but i have high hope for GTA V version.

Last time Watch Dogs delay the pc release due to nvidia's involvement in planting source code in the game in order to descale the performance of AMD card...........now GTA V.....again?????????

I think GTA V should atleast get some type of upgrade other than a video editor. For one, it definitely needs the option to play user tracks. Plus I hope they dont make attempts to prevent story mode modding.

Well the 60fps, we don't know about that just yet. The AA is pretty much void, since higher resolutions or AA is something that is mandatory once you start sitting really close to the monitor/hdtv (computer monitors) At my sitting distance from my HDTV, 720p and 1080p are jusssstttt indistinguishable.

To Tai Man Chan, there's been rumors that this game will support AMD's Mantle, so hopefully that stays true. That'll be the second game that I'll be plaing that supports Mantle, first being Battlefield Hardline Beta/Final release.

Hopefully it's true that it'll support Mantle, that way, People with AMD cards suchs as you and I don't get fucked when they release the game.

As long as they don't support NVIDIA over AMD, I'll check it out. If they do, they can suck on the sharp end of my video card.

I'd be pissed if they did the same thing that Watch_Dogs did.

I read something that they let NVIDIA do something to the code to downscale AMD cards. I mean... when it really sinks that low, it is sad. Games are supposed to be enjoyable, and when you have to worry about which company a game works better with due to code that downscales the performance of one or the other, it becomes time for the creators themselves to preserve their art. You won't find that with many mainstream games, so once the indie revolution kicks in full gear, hopefully we won't have to worry about that kind of stuff. Honestly, Rockstar has more money than god so I highly doubt they'll let either company do something to GTA. Even if it benefitted AMD cards over NVIDIA I would have the same stance, and I own a Sapphire R9 290 4GB Tri-X OC.

Same as with Batman Arkham stuff.... Gives me the Sh!ts all the logins you gotta do these days to play a game.... Easier to get a dam home loan!

I'm guessing it will have Social Club for the video editing tool and etc. but hopefully it's a one time login like the 360. I'm level 250 something with 50 million dollars on 360 xD

Grand theft auto 5 would have been so much better if they made the game's multiplayer launching like "APB Reloaded", where there is no launching of a multiplayer element. THe free roam is mixed with multiplayer gameplay instantaneously, you can see people doing missions, destroying each other while, it's all intermixed, there is no loading and waiting in lobbies. It's just so much better in that aspect. APB reloaded is an older game, but the graphics aren't that much worse than GTA5.

I completely agree with you. Right now, I just hope that AMD GPU owners don't get fucked up in the arse with this release kind of like what happened in Watch Dogs.

This is actually how it has been for, well since I started PC gaming years ago. They always have one side who hates the other and one side works better than the other.

I personally had no issues with my HD7970GHz Vapor-X on Watch_Dogs yet at the same time plenty of NVidia GPUs were having issues.

All the accusing is funny to watch as people will say NVidia did this or Ubisoft did that when the truth is that it was a new game on a new game engine which alone is a recipe for disaster.
