PC version of GTA3: Vice City came out 6 months after the PS2 version.

PC version of GTA3: San Andreas came out 7 months after the PS2 version.

PC version of Grand Theft Auto 4 came out 7 months after the console versions.

PC version of GTA4: The Lost and Damned came out 11.5 months after the console versions.

PC version of GTA4: The Ballad of Gay Tony came out 5.5 months after the console versions.

I hope it doesn't take long for V to come out on PC :(

I hope it does, GTA4's port was so horrific and poor, I hope they learnt their lesson and will actually port it properly this time, if that takes longer, so be it.

as much as I want to believe otherwise, I won't hold my breath :(

to be honest, I just don't think they want to capitalize that badly on the pc platform, for their main market, its sadly crappy consoles; so they either might or probably won't do a proper optimized port, fingers crossed!

:woot:

Some interesting news and information from Game Informer.

 

Rockstar Leeds Hiring To Bring "Latest Titles To The PC"

Rockstar games studio Rockstar Leeds is hiring a graphics programmer in order to help the developer bring the company's games to the PC platform. Perhaps this indicates that a PC version of Grand Theft Auto V is on the way.

Interestingly, the job posting also lists responsibilities working on next-gen titles. GTA V is a current-gen game.

 

Grand Theft Auto V Q&A: Customization

Weapon customization sounds like a big part of the game. What are all the types of attachments players can use?

Ammunation makes its return in GTA V, but now you can indeed customize your weapons. The player has access to a wide range of modifications, such as extended clips that allow you to fire more ammo between reloads, grips to improve your accuracy, weapon tints to color your guns, flashlights, scopes, and suppressors. Attachments such as suppressors allow the player to adapt their approach to some missions and take a stealth option. It?s all part of broadening the range of tactical options for the player.

 

Grand Theft Auto V Q&A: Gun Combat

Would you say the gunplay is more similar to GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, or Max Payne 3?
The best way to describe the gunplay is that it's evolved through influences of all three games. It's still GTA-based at its core, but as we've collaborated with other studios along the way we've tried to bring in all the appropriate parts from the different projects, from the more advanced cover components and targeting of Red Dead Redemption to the more fluid transitions in and out of gun combat from Max Payne 3. The main push for gunplay on GTA V was trying to make everything as dynamic and fluid as possible, from animation to targeting to camera behavior - we're trying to push every aspect to the next level.

It seems there is a lot of nice anti-alising in that screenshot (it appears very smooth), so I doubt this is a screenshot from an actual 360/PS3. Most likely a dev kit. Shame, as many people will think it will look that smooth when the game is finally out.

A few different comments I have seen on various gaming related websites people have claimed it is the PS3 version as that is what the button prompts are. One dude even said a developer confirmed this on the Rockstar forums. I asked for a source, if they share it, I will do the same.

I personally think it is from one of the two console versions. They make a point of saying it is all gameplay, so I really do not think they would "dupe" anyone by showing gameplay from a dev kit. I have faith it is from one of the actual console versions. The million dollar question is which one.

EDIT- Confirmed. This gameplay trailer is the PS3 version.

 

Just to clarify for those asking, this particular video was captured with footage from the PS3 version of the game.

 

Again, taken from the Official R* Website HERE.

 

Good news for PS3 owners. Looks like it is a decent enough version at least. With GTA IV I thought the 360 version was the (slightly) better version (I actually played both).

The comment you quoted was for the screenshots released two months ago.

How do you figure that? It was posted 6 hours and 8 minutes ago, and is the top comment in the article titled "Grand Theft Auto V Official Gameplay Video"

 

And here is the full quote...

Also, make sure to check out a pair of Q&A's we did with Game Informer that debuted today with more details on customization and gun combat in GTAV (along with some new screens), plus an interview for French speaking fans at Jeuxactu:
 
 
 

 

 

The two Game Informer articles in the quote are dated today, July 9th, 2013.

 

Again, the quote was taken from this post on the Rockstar Website, also dated today, July 9th, posted 8 hours and 4 minutes ago.

 

So maybe, just maybe, they said the same thing about two screenshots a couple of months ago, but this is clearly referring to the gameplay video.

You quoted a post that I made that was dated May 9th...

 

I wrote that the screenshots appear to be too smooth (AA).

 

I have no made any comments about any GTA5 video in the past month.

Ahhh gotcha. I obviously thought your post was referring to the video today. 

 

Awesome news on the weapon customization! Let's hope that the hiring they're doing is to bring not only GTAV to PC, but Red Dead Redemption too! :woot:

Just watched the latest video. Looks sooo sweet! Can't wait.

 

Question now though, which version to get? Xbox 360 or PS3? Please don't turn this into a flamewar. I have both consoles, just wondering if this game has an advantage on a particular console or if it's the same for both.

I'd imagine, although GTA IV was graphically better on the XBox 360 than it was on the PS3, that Rockstar might have

worked to make GTA V about equal on either console. Although I'm hoping they haven't skimped any graphical detail

onthe XBox 360 version of GTA V, no matter how slight, since that console does have a better GPU chipset.

Can't wait.  :D Looks really awesome.

Going by Red Dead Redemption they'll be very close... if you are into multiplayer, get it on whichever one your friends who you'll play it with are on. If not then... flip a coin?

I think Red Dead Redemption gives a better insight and the differences in that were minor at best. IIRC, grass objects and better anti-aliasing on the 360, better lighting effects on the PS3.

Summary of the above interview:

  • Over 1,000 car customization options" (Bulletproof tires, armor, etc.)
  • Car will turn up in an impound if left in the street. Must pay a fine to retrieve it
  • You can't directly "weaponize" your car, but there are a lot of little options. (Car leaking petrol and light em up, sticky bombs)
  • Guns will be with you throughout the whole game
  • Customized guns will broaden range of options during missions. (Stealthy vs. loud, Scope, etc.)
  • Moved from static fights to free focus. Quickly switch your focus to other enemies. No longer need to lock on to enemies, although you can lock on if you wish
  • "Hits are much more satisfying"
  • Each character has different animation. Strength stat has a bearing on melee capability
  • Expect really cool destruction/carnage/damage
  • Combat AI much more advance with more knowledge of environment
  • Enemies will behave different by who they are (SWAT is organized, gang members are more "gung ho")
  • 3 protag will feel natural and will not feel like a balancing act, allowing the game to feel more natural. (if Franklin and Michael are in a car, you can drive as Michael, switch to Franklin, and Michael will continue driving)
  • Shooting stat will affect steadiness of aim, amount of ammo you can carry, aim stability, etc. (You can go to the shooting range to increase stat. Also goes up if you kill an enemy. You are rewarded for better kills like head shots)
  • Car horns can be customized

    • Latest Rufus update improves new Windows 11 install method by Taras Buria Pete Batard, the maker of Rufus, a very popular app for creating bootable Windows (and other OS) media, has released a new beta version of its app. Rufus 4.15 beta is now out, and while it offers no new features, there are all sorts of improvements and fixes, including for the new Windows 11 installation method that was introduced in version 4.14 in early May. The "Silent Windows 11 installation" is a new feature whose goal is to automate operating system installation. All you have to do is boot from the drive, and then Rufus takes over, doing all things for you, such as setting up a new account, skipping ads and prompts, and more. It is a very handy tool, but initially, it had some bugs and issues that required addressing. With version 4.15 beta, Rufus is fixing that, particularly a bug with installation failing at 75%, crashes on Snapdragon X-based PCs, and more. Here is the changelog: Rufus 4.15 beta is now available for download from its GitHub repository. If you have never used Rufus before, you can check out our guide here. It is a very useful utility to have, as it allows you to deal with plenty of Windows 11's annoyances, which are still there, despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to fix them.
    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
