Let's just hope it's not a poorly optimized mess like GTA IV.

 

It's supposedly well optimized and the graphics have been updated - according to Rockstar. Will have to wait and see what the reality is.

It's using the same engine as Max Payne 3 right? I expect that it'll be much better than GTA4 if that is the case. Super excited :happy:

 

Also, to all those who petitioned that it stay on consoles:

I never played Max Payne 3 (I should). So I don't know anything about it's engine.

 

And people really petitioned to keep it consoles only? Why on earth?

No idea, It sounds like good business sense to me, more people buying your product=more profit etc...

(My post was just an inside joke from an old console vs pc debate)

Yep I have to admit I wasn't aware of people petitioning to keep it on console and I certainly wouldn't support it either!

 

I'm really torn on this, I enjoyed the short time I had on GTA V but im not sure I would want to replay it and re-earn everything I did on XB360. This might be a game I pickup only if my friends do.

One less reason to get either of the next gen systems anytime soon for me.  Heck, with all the stuff coming in 2015 there's really very little reason to get either this year for me.

Yeah, I've regained some confidence in rockstar's pc porting after playing Max Payne 3, that game looked amazing and ran very well.

No idea, here's the petition: https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/rockstar-games-dont-make-a-pc-version-of-gta-v

 

It made the rounds on some websites a while back. Doesn't look like it gained much traction from anything other than trolls though :).

Me. Getting it on Xbox one.

 

I will be getting this for either PS 4 or Xbox One. I don't own either one.  I last had a PS2 and that's it.  I went xbox and didn't go back.   I really want a Xbox one, but I will wait.  If they say GTA 5 WILL be 1080p for X1, then I'll instantly go buy it.  If not, then I'll make my way back to PS.  This is the game that decides it for me.

Petty children, that petition. :rolleyes:

The thing about Max Payne 3 was that each loaded environment wasn't as large and expansive as loading an entire city a-la GTA. I'm definitely hoping for a fluid game though!

    • Windows 11 is technically Windows 10, It was going to be a Windows 10 feature update (Sun Valley) but alas, marketing had its way with it for a new version bump as opposed to yet another rolling release update and the UI design decisions made for the Windows 10 Sun Valley Update, pretty much ruined the launch of Windows 11. More about what decisions Microsoft is making at anytime rather than OS version at this point.
    • RTM is October 5, so this must be the release that software vendors could use and all.
    • 5 years old and still "work in progress"...
    • so? biggest release of all time... they could've changed it.
    • Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is expanding its footprint into the classroom with a new suite of AI-powered study and teaching tools for Microsoft 365 Education. Rather than pushing these features as premium add-ons, the company is rolling out many core features at no additional cost to existing customers. The update brings new tools such as 'Copilot Notebooks' and 'Study and Learn Agents' into Microsoft's Education suite. Copilot Notebooks is essentially an AI-powered workspace where students can ground answers with their own learning materials, similar to Google's NotebookLM. The study and learning agents would allow students to learn concepts more visually, along with interactive practices and real-time feedback. For the last few years, educational institutions have struggled to implement practical guardrails for the usage of large language models. The new tools from Microsoft are a push towards providing those guardrails natively within the apps that the students and teachers already use every day. For teachers, the new 'Unit Plans' within the dedicated 'Teach' agent would allow them to rapidly generate structured curriculum frameworks grounded in established learning science, cutting down hours of preliminary lesson planning. Microsoft is also introducing 'Learning Groups' in Assignments that would help educators automatically categorize students based on performance data. With 'Learning Zones', teachers can then tailor assignments to different comprehension levels. It should be noted that Microsoft is making Learning Zone accessible for a one-year trial across all Windows 11 devices, while quietly incentivizing school districts to upgrade their legacy hardware and lock further into the Windows ecosystem. Of course, Microsoft is doing this as part of a broader ambition. Just last year, the company made waves when it brought its 365 Copilot to the education sector for $18 a month, introducing premium tiers with standalone conversational agents. However, gating all AI features behind a per-user subscription left a massive gap of students without access to official, school-sanctioned AI tools. Now that the features are inside the base Microsoft 365 Education suite for free, the company is effectively subsidizing the AI training of its next generation of power users. Microsoft’s own data, released alongside these tools in its 2026 AI in Education Report, indicates that while over 90% of students are using AI, nearly 80% lack formal training. Lastly, Microsoft is also expanding its "Elevate for Educators" training program, developed in partnership with organizations like ISTE and ASCD. This ensures that the teachers tasked with policing and guiding this new technology actually understand how to use it themselves.
