No they won't be released at the same time unfortunately. I expect we'll have to wait about 12-18 months for a PC release.

It's a shame we have to wait for so long - but considering what a good job they do actually converting the game (instead of just porting it) we can't complain - but I will anyway - I want it NOW

by then pc hardware will be quick enough to play a crappy port of this properly.

Crappy port, all gta games were totally fine on pc, what's this crap port you are talking about ?
Sa, vice, gta3, all ran fine maxed when they were out on hardware that was out at that time.
And they ran on very old hardware too ( just keep the gfx settings down) , hell my mate runs SA on his geforce 4 mx.

Can't beat the PC for GTA really

Yup ignore him, infact this is why R* takes so long to get them out as they actually do a decent job of it unlike other developers who do a quick 2 month job :rolleyes:

Fixed, and yes I hardly use my 360 but im keeping it purely for this game and Halo 3.

killer_uk · 30 Jun 2007 at 15:51

Could we see it sooner? I seem to remember the 360 makes it easier to port things over to PC?

Skully · 30 Jun 2007 at 15:54

GTA3 when it first came out had a lot of problems, at least mine did.

But they got resolved soon enough, was just annoying knowing that you could run it max detail but struggling to run over 15 fps!

Shamikebab · 30 Jun 2007 at 15:55

GTA 3 was the only one that i had a few problems on launch, but they fixed the VERY quickly, others have been perfect, all credit to rockstar.

The only worrying thing is i haven't even heard a pc port mentioned this time, where as im sure it was at least mentioned before

Ah well, i'll probably get it on my 360 then again on pc if/when it comes out.

XNA? Perhaps though that still doesnt avoid a plain port...

didn;t say anything about the other gta games being crappy ports, i just said crappy ports in general.

Your post says, "port of this", which sounds like you were on about GTA 4 or rockstars ports in general. Not that I'm tell you what you meant, I'm just saying your post wasn't clear.

well, yea gta4 i rekon will be a crappy port. anything that comes over from these new next gen consoles seems to be just a direct port job which is lacking in all departments.
