Rockstar hiring to bring "latest titles" to PC

Since-removed job posting at Rockstar Leeds suggests company's newest games could come to PC.

786 Comments

Rockstar Leeds recently posted (and has since removed) a job listing for a programmer who would assist in bringing the company's "latest titles" to PC.

No Caption Provided

"Rockstar Leeds are currently looking for a talented graphics programmer to help bring our latest titles to the PC platform," reads a line from the job ad as captured by Rockstar Watch.

"Working together with the other Rockstar studios, you will be responsible for maintaining the studio’s uncompromising quality bar, delivering the highest quality PC experience possible."

The requisition also mentions "working with skilled developers on next generation gamers," suggesting Rockstar will continue to release games on PC in the future.

A Rockstar Games representative was not immediately available to comment.

Some of Rockstar Games' "latest titles" currently unavailable or unannounced for PC include 2010's Red Dead Redemption and this September's Grand Theft Auto V. The company has said a PC version of GTAV is "up for consideration."

Rockstar Games released the first official gameplay trailer for GTAV today. For more, check out GameSpot's editor analysis of the footage.

@FULGOREY2K Yes, but is it fair? After milking the profit on consoles, now they beg for more on PCs, just like Alan Wake. Well, at least Alan Wake was saved by PC gamers. Imagine the profit for a game like RDR on PC.

@xsonicchaos @LordCrash88 Yeah, I know. The smiley at the end should indicate that my comment wasn't that damn serious. I don't like AW that much but I respect every other opinion for sure. ;)

@LordCrash88 That's not the point. The game was pretty annoying for both of us and a lot of other people, but the game is great, a majority of other players find it awesome and it is a critically acclaimed success.

I really hope that the PC-version of "GTAV" will be optimized, as opposed to "GTAIV" barely at all. But since there of course will be a PS4-version, which is apparently built more like a PC (the PS4, I mean), there might be less of an issue for a PC-port.

If "GTAV" won't come to PC, I'll probaly never play it. "GTAIV" was clearly made to play with a controller, but I really prefer using a mouse for aiming, and it makes it more fun than auto-aiming as well

I've also wanted to play 'Red Dead Redemption' on the PC, and I guess I kinda refused it for the PS3... But I thought Rocktar were morons for not releasing it on PC, I'm sure people that don't have a console would love it, and it would probably generate modding-communities as well, which is fun.

For the rest, I just hope the gameplay for "GTAV" is just better than that of "IV". I should check that gameplay-video of course. :)

Yeah, it's crazy all the kinds of games that get released on PC now that never used to come to PC. Mortal Kombat, Castlevania Lords of Shadow 1 and 2, and Metal Gear Rising Revengeance are a few examples.

if there is going to be a PC version of GTAV, doesn't it make sense to put out a PS4/Xbone version as well?

im going to wait on GTAV in Sept, for at least a year, to see if it comes to PS4. i've got plenty of new and exciting games to keep me busy for quite some time (aka PS4) regardless of how much i do want GTAV.

I want the best experience possible, and if it comes to next gen consoles then that's the experience i want.

@punkdsk8erdude GTAV is coming to PC. And this PC game is likely going to have console versions unless they are aiming for something different. But yeah, GTA5 is in the air depending how well Next Gen consoles sell and after the limited exclusives window which I'm assuming is in place wears off, we'll get a PC version soon after.

Rock Star ain't dumb. But console devs pay for exclusives all the time. Next gen needs to appear as if its all around too powerful for its games to be on PC.

I already got too many games to play on PC and current gen is still churning out some great stuff. I mean Tales of Xilia is almost out too, and Last of Us hit long long ago.

I won't be buying a Next Gen now that Watch Dogs is coming to PC. It and two others are also on PC. I don't see a need to buy Next Gen right away when there aren't enough good exclusives. HELL FF15(formorly known as FFvs13 which story and gameplay hasn't changed at all btw) is probably going to be released onto PC if Sony and MS don't pay for the exclusives.

The real question here is how did PC gamers resist buying consoles for Red Dead.. It's like not buying a PS3 for the Last of Us...

@dogknight6

The same way single console owners resist buying a gaming PC to play all of its great exclusives, or how they resist buying the other consoles to play their exclusives. Dumb question.

@dogknight6 Problem is that I want to play that stuff with mouse and keyboard. As long as consoles only offer controllers I won't buy one no matter what exclusives they have. ;)

@LordCrash88 @dogknight6 I totally agree, a joystick can never be compared to a keyboard and mouse. For example in Batman Arkham City using a joystick is a lot of trouble to choose gadgets, using a keyboard it's just pressing 1-10. And what about COD.
