SO with the GTA V release on the horizon for PC after a few months delay for polish, (as the last gen version doesn't count because that would not take advantage of PC hardware and would be a pointless endeavour) ; i think it's time we had a gander at Current gen vs PC version , might as well get it out of our system now lol.

Food for thought:

Additional features include:

- 60 fps

- 4k Resolution

- Scalable from last gen hardware to the latest PC hardware.

- GTA Online at launch unlike the last gen version

- Steamworks

Additional info here.

As you can see it looks better than ever, but is it worth the wait?

Thanks for beta testing.

I'll take a side of "going to get the better version of nearly all of your games for the rest of the gen" with that meal, kiddo.

And how does this affect other people who play or have yet to play this game?

The game becomes worse all of a sudden or it is a lesser game now because you 2 played it a while ago????

What kind of dumbass reasoning or Ownage is that supposed to be?

I have been waiting for the PC version so if or when i play it soon,i'm pretty sure i'm not going to care that some gamers i don't know have finished something a while ago that is completely new to me.

I'm really looking forward to it, but kinda worried about the quality of the port.

It's still going to be GTA V

Will it look a little prettier? Sure...but that's about it.

Is it some kind of surprise when a game running on a $1500 PC looks better than the same game running on a $400 console?

I beat this 15 months ago on my ps3 and plan on getting it on pc again. Why can't hermits simply play it on a console? I highly doubt there are strictly PC gamers only out there.

Based on the lack of marketing of any actual pc features, it seems like a bog standard barebones port. Not even any hardware aa. Just inefficient resolution scaling if you wanna spend enough money

Was debating whether to pre-order but in the end I'm going to wait for launch and watch some YouTube videos.

59.99 euro for the PC version on steam... I think I'll pass for now.

Even the console version doesn't cost as much.

This is like when 32X came out with the best version of NBA Jam, only 3 years later. Nobody cared.

60 fps shouldn't really be a "feature", we can take that for granted at this point. 144 fps would be a "feature".

This isn't like that at all. I would bet real money that GTAV will be the best seller for at least a week once it releases on Steam. People do care about this port, a lot.

This. I'm not paying £40 for a PC port of a console game I finished a year ago.

its so sad hermits are salivating for this game for a year and a half and it isn't even that good.

a prettier rock and more grass doesn't make a shit game any better. you can polish a turd and its still a turd.

Yet, when Ryse and DR3 came to PC, cows laughed at lems for losing exclusives, despite being a year late.

And i also bet cows will start bragging about the better version of Rise of the Tomb Raider, if it comes ot the PS4 a year latter

Well, "better", since it'll still be inferior to the pc version in every way

PC games usually cost around 40$/€. Also, steam isn't the only place to purchase GTA V on PC.

Yeah and thankfully PC isnt the only platform to play GTA V on...
