QUOTE (Zee @ Saturday, Sep 8 2012, 18:43) Hmnn, I'm thinking yes. RDR didnt even get a pc port (LOL!!!!!). Those morons at R* Toronto couldnt code their way out of a paper bag so hopefully they dnt be the ones handling it. Red Dead is made by San Diego and they never released a game for PC (or their games weren't ported and released on pc). Except for Midnight Club 2. But yes, hopefully it will be the same developers who did MP3 for PC..

My theory.

I think it's not due to it's being made by Rockstar San Diego but more of this. Red Dead Redemption is a console exclusive as the spiritual prequel, Red Dead Revolver didn't receive enough demand from PC gamers. Due to this, Rockstar decided to develop a console focused RAGE engine and thus it is rather hard for them to port these codes to the PC as it would cost a lot for them, as of what they call "not financially viable".

Also, if any of you have heard before, the game was meant to be released for PS2 and XBOX and probably PC too but was upgraded for PS3 and 360 instead. This new version was developed under poor working conditions and had a huge amount of crunch times which caused a lot of controversies for Rockstar Games and San Diego.

And for why Rockstar released only Midnight Club 2 for PC, I think it was to test whether to develop next Midnight Club for PC but apparently, the PC sales was not as great as they wanted to be, so then they probably made a decision and say "Maybe PC gamers hate Midnight Club or San Diego product"

If anything, it is highly possible for the next Red Dead game to come to PC due to Rockstar Leeds are still looking for extra PC Systems Programmer for their next gen PC games (one could possibly being GTA V PC)

@Adriaan

Yes now I know what are you saying...
When I first bought GTA IV on X360 , my cousin on PS3 , we both had some problems with the game, for my cousin the game freezed a lot.
So not just the PC version had problems using Rage engine with GTA IV... Then RDR and Max Payne 3 demonstrated us how much the engine evolved, so RDR ran smooth and MP3 PC version ran without problems even on a low end system...
So I think Rockstar is not going to f*ck up the PC version this time...

Anything will be better if they don't include Games for Doors.

Whatever guys, good luck waiting for your "precious" PC version.

lol at defensive console players here

gta4 pc only sucked at launch. after that they released tons of patches and it runs terrific now. plus it has lots of exclusive features that the console version did not get.

[cidamelo]

Yes Max Payne 3 runs very smoothly! I hope GTA V be like that

[Mr_Leone]

Yep, GTA 5's PC port will be pretty bad.

Prepare to be dissapointed, just read what Adriaan wrote. Rage engine is not the same version as it was for GTA IV...And then look at Max Payne 3 and you will see that Rockstar can make a good PC version...
Even if GTA V will be ported , it will be fine for PC players.

I disagree, Max Payne 3 runs terrific, Sleeping Dogs runs terrific, GTA IV/EFLC runs ok.

Oh, really? Awesome. I'm still betting against 5's PC port being good though, just going by history.

Forget history. The time is now. Why are you so persistent?
Especially that it most likely won't be a port this time. The title of this topic should be changed in PC version.

[Mr_Leone]

I'm nearly 100% sure it will be a PC port. If the time is now, great, but I'm skeptic. I think you could understand why.

I'm a PC player, but okay sure. I also hate puppies, world peace, and sunshine.

I played GTA VC, SA and III on PC. IV/LCS/VCS (LCS and VCS for obvious reasons) on a console.

[AirWolf856]

Considering how well MP3 ran on my PC, I have high hopes that R* will do the PC version justice. MP3 has been a great beta test for the next Rage engine on the PC. They've been able to do a lot of multiplayer tests using MP3 which I hope will translate to the GTA V PC version. Just think about it. All the bugs they've seen and fixed in MP3 should follow into GTA V. I'm hoping that when R* releases the PC version of GTA V that we will have a whole lot less bugs to worry about.

[Niteye]

Considering the past of GTA ports I'd wager on it being pretty bad.

GTA3: Was considered a bad port in its day, inconsistent framerates even on (then) powerful computers

Vice City: Was actually a good port, essentially identical to the PS2 version with higher res, but it ran well

San Andreas: Not a bad port, but they introduced a bunch of extra bugs like ALL cars being dirty and unwashable, how did no one notice this during testing?! Luckily they have a patch that fixes it.

GTA4: Runs like crap, installer broken (i mean all characters are chinese during the installation if you don't have a US/UK version of Windows, how did no one notice that, do they even HAVE any tester?). GFWL extremely buggy. Even the updater doesn't work correctly.
But again they released some updates to at least try and fix some of it.

GTA5: ???

None of their ports were ever flawless (eg. runs consistent and no added bugs that weren't on the console version) so I don't see why they would suddenly start now.

EDIT: Except for Vice City, but since it's essentially a slightly updated GTA3 they didn't have much room to make it bad.

[Mr_Leone]

SA runs good. Has some draw distance issues, like when buildings aren't fully textured at times.

But from a technical stand point, it's missing some things, such as blurring Rotor Blades, Sun Flares, reflections on vehicles, extra animations on things such as parachutes, etc, not to mention the lack of 16:9 support right out of the box, etc.

These things have had to be modded back into the game on the PC version when they should have been working right away.
