GTA V

[Steppenwolf]

There arn't many games where i would ever consider to buy for multiple platforms or even replay the game but GTA 5 is one of them. So not sure what the point of a broader discussion is because to me it's just an curiosity. Also i sold my PS3 copy and PC copy hopefully isn't as expensive as console version so in the end i will have paid 60 altogether for both version. The game is easily worth that.

Why would you pay again for essentially the same product on a different platform?  The porting job itself, certification, distribution, advertising, dev tools, the publisher and platform owners' cut, etc.  Sadly, consoles are a much different beast from PC porting, where in most cases the port is free (and, I'd imagine, much easier to make in the first place).  I wouldn't imagine this game specifically is very easy to just port over to other platforms because of just how much they have to squeeze onto Xbox and PS3, there was probably a great deal of re-optimizing for different platforms.  And if they were to give everyone who owns the game some sort of discount because the same game looks the same a year later, it would be a logistical nightmare.  

 

I agree mate there's the porting costs, but it is still different from the cost of the development. I guess a porting team at the very large is around 7 coders and 2 chinese artists (no condescension) to optimize the game. Whereas the dev team would be around 100 people. And we aren't at the time of the snes and the megadrive anymore, the hardware architecture of the consoles are essentially the same, i mean they already share the same physical support, they could very well be running on the same library if their constructors wanted to, and that would drastically ease the pressure on the developers who won't have to rent dev kits costing you an arm (erm). But hey, again that's a whole lot of utopia

 

I would make such a bad businessman.

 

 

 

I know exactly how you feel Koko, sometimes you can't voice a slightly more negative opinion around these parts, or everyone jumps on yer!

 

So true ...

Don't care so much about the graphics.. it already looks awesome on ps3, and it look basically thesame on ps4 with slightly higher res textures.

From the trailer it seems waaay better than that frankly.

And if you haven't played it, I do not see the upgrade as a moneygrab.

Also : steam takes 30%, Sony takes 30%, Microsoft takes 30% and every title they sell for their respective consoles (and AFAIK, they have monopole over disc printing... Only Sony can allow you to print a game for PS). And i'm not even talking about resellers who take their part of the cake... That's what i was told so, but i think this seems legit. A lots of people are making profit from the game you make.

Well yeah, it's more or so like the city renting marketplaces to you so you can have people buying your salads.

 

Because in the end it's not a proper transcendental value, but just what the customers are willingly ready to pay. But it's derailing the thread a bit.

Before I was like, naaah PS3 ver is good for me, but after this

I'm like - WHEN THIS IS OUT !?

[LATTEH]

Is it weird that the game i saw at e3 that im most excited for i already played?

[Izuno]

I finally

beat the Union Suppository heist last fucking night.  Or was it Depository?  Yes, I got the game the day it came out last year.  Shows what 2 kids will do to your playing time.

 

In any event, I met with a Take 2 exec at E3 and asked about if my PS3 singleplayer progress would carry over to PS4 and he said yes. Then I checked elsewhere and it was GTA Online that would carry over and not singleplayer.  Then I checked wikipedia and it said GTA Online only.

 

Then I thought (since I don't play much of the GTA Online) that if this is one of the few console games I like so much that I'd be willing to play it over again would I pay $60 to do so for whatever improvements come with the PS4 version?  It's really tempting me.

[Mazy]

Aye, I've played through it twice on 360 already and I won't mind going through the SP again a third time a in a couple of months, at least when the visuals have been updated.

 

And I'm one of the few people that love GTAO, put more time into GTAO than the SP, and close to a week in playing it....as in like 150+ hours, so having that progress carry over probably the most important bit for me.

[DrywallDreams]

After finishing Max Payne 3 this past week, I'm totally up for playing through GTAV again when it's out on PC.  Shame it's in fall though. :/

[Thrik]

The single-player experience probably isn't that long, and of course the multi-option heist missions will make at least one replay quite fresh. I put a crazy amount of time into GTA5 but most of that was just dicking around and doing collectable stuff.

 

I probably won't go ahead and replay the single-player any time soon though, even when I get it for PS4. Instead I'll be playing the single-player DLC that's been promised, plus Online for the first time — which should have lots of heists and shit by then.

[Zyn]

Oh man ... I can see it now ... GTA 5 PC version + iCEnhancer or good ENB preset =
