Damn guess I’ll just never buy it till the inevitable port then.
Unsurprising. Other than the first two, none of them have launched on PC at the same time as consoles.
When I fkrst read this I thought this was a joke post of someone not being able to start the game on their PC.
Yes it will, it will come to PC a year or two later in a “special edition” to make all the suckers to double dip.
Keyword “launch”
Yep, sounds like they aren’t getting my money for a year
Am I the only one old enough to remember that no 3D GTA ever released on PC first? This should have been expected.
Nope, you aren’t the only one.
It pisses me off each time, but I also expected it.
Oh no. Anyway…
Seriously though, if it doesn’t come out on PC it probably means I won’t be missing anything for the first couple years it exists. I can’t recall an exclusive that I felt I needed right away.
Especially the old-school ones. Halo is just so much better on PC, especially now that I can torture my friends with brutal legendary difficulty mods for halo 3… Good times.
Fear of piracy, or demanded by manufacturers?
Two main reasons I can think of:
- focus on polishing each version (less hardware variety on consols to deal with)
- easy way to get people to double dip
Most likely both.
Gotta milk this one for 10 years too so yeah can’t release it all at once that would be silly.
It’ll prolly be more like 25 years between 6 and 7. There is definitely some manner of exponential curve to GTA release dates.
And even milk the console manufacturers maybe?
Fine with me, as long as the PC version is stable patched on release.
Well looks like I won’t be getting this game on release then I like to wait for bugs anyway
oh noooooo
anyway…
Not news as it’s 100% in line with their previous releases. I assume they are just paid by the console makers for exclusivity (though in this case not platform exclusivity but console in general).
The good thing is that the PC version usually gets the version that’s graphically improved, like the next-gen version of GTA V that came for Xbone as opposed to the launch version for Xbox 360.
I’m not really excited for it anymore anyway. GTA V was a huge disappointment, as no single-player DLC was ever released. I’ve never been interested in the online stuff so the whole game is a distant memory for me. I also thought the story lacked the depth of previous games. The three characters felt too generic.
What I’d be really stoked for is GTA: San Andreas for Oculus Quest. It was announced by Meta 2 years ago and there has been zero info about it since so I doubt it’s still coming. But if it did I’d jump on it <3
Joke’s on them: I wouldn’t have bought it anyway!
Eh… Gives me enough time to find out if the game is actually worth it. And its not like I have a choice anyway since I dont have a current gen console and after my experience with the last gen thats not going to change.
Wasn’t this the case with any other Rockstar game before?
Yup which is why it isn’t newsworthy
Still, it is completely insane. Outside of Sony exclusives they are the only large company that does this.
They’ve made it known they don’t care for PC players in the past. It’s like that toxic ex that occasionally turns up at your door to gice you a pity fuck before slapping you in the face then leaving again
Ehmmmm your ex is weird.
Luckily I wasn’t referring to my own though I did already know that for other reasons
Its probably the same game as GTA V, but with different music anyway, especially judging by the trailer
There isn’t anything on here that confirms it won’t launch on PC. They don’t credit the list of systems it will launch on to anyone and no one at Rockstar has confirmed what it will launch on formally yet.
That’s an official Rockstar press release.
