Analog Addiction - Message to Rockstar: Push Your Limits for the Gamers

AA writes: Well, what better way to unexpectedly announce the release time frame for Grand Theft Auto V. We saw a tonne of new information about upcoming games today, but in my opinion the GTA V port is at the top. There is no doubt the console versions will greatly benefit from the hardware of the next-gen consoles, but will the PC port suffer yet again?

I think they did good by timing the pc version to coincide with the next gen versions. It means the pc version will benefit from the superior assets of the next gen version.

Aslong as rockstar realizes that 3gb Vram is good enough for ultra settings @ 1080p, sli exists and when people spend double the gpu money they expect it to actually make the game better. Sli has been around long enough, no reasons it has to be such a big deal to optimize for some developers *cough*ubisoft*cough*ubisoft. If you're going to make a demanding VRAM eating game than there's no excuse to fubar the sli optimization. So please rockstar make me love my very expensive gaming pc. And at above If you think next gen consoles are good for pc gaming try running watchdogs on ultra at 1080p with 2x 3gb 780ti's and watch the stuttering in all it's glory. 5.5gb of gddr5 graphics memory on ps4 is not good for pc gamers when lazy pc multiplat devs are involved. It sucks that ubisoft makes such good games but than ruin it by shoving their heads up their a$$e$ when it comes to optimizing. Rockstar I hope you learned from watchdogs for pc.

christrules00414039d ago

I can't run Watch Dogs like it's supposed to. I got a I5 4670k and a 4Gb gtx 760. But even running ultra settings, high textures with no anti aliasing and it still stutters even though I have double the VRAM that is required. Plus it stays above 40fps so I know that isn't the problem either.

showtimefolks4039d ago

i think we will be more than satisfied, if this was coming only months after release to next gen than i would worry. But close to or over a year for port should end up great

my thing is just how many copies will the next gen along with PC move? could this game realistically make over 250 plus million from next gen versions along with pc?

I can see this selling atleast 6 plus million.

Agent_hitman4039d ago

Wooohoo!!, finally a PC version for us PC owners..

Father__Merrin4039d ago

there should be a Pc e3 conference

Eiffel4039d ago (Edited 4039d ago )

That would be one long conference lol. As much as it would be nice, I don't think it's really necessary. A majority of the games showcased at the E3 conferences are coming to or already available on PC. As much as it would be nice to let developers on the platform showcase their latest stuff to a mainstream audience it's just a whole lot to cover. There's around ten times as many exclusives that release on PC every year, plus newest editions in hardware it's just too much for two hours, with no one to really dictate a priority over the other when showcasing for the open platform.

It's much easier to spread it over the course of a year with multiple different conferences that focus on the different aspects of PC gaming with no real time constraints.

kinda feels like it just makes the image have less contrast, removing shadows somewhat.
Even if it's "more realistic" I think the standard looks better. Not in every situation but the standard likely runs better so I'll side with that more than likely.

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese46d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde45d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast45d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake45d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow145d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown53d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8553d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown53d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8552d ago (Edited 52d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole52d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name53d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast52d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj52d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!
