P1r4nha, do gaming w GTA VI won't launch on PC

Am I the only one old enough to remember that no 3D GTA ever released on PC first? This should have been expected.

aksdb,

Nope, you aren’t the only one.

It pisses me off each time, but I also expected it.

Yes it will, it will come to PC a year or two later in a “special edition” to make all the suckers to double dip.

Unsurprising. Other than the first two, none of them have launched on PC at the same time as consoles.

When I fkrst read this I thought this was a joke post of someone not being able to start the game on their PC.

Not news as it’s 100% in line with their previous releases. I assume they are just paid by the console makers for exclusivity (though in this case not platform exclusivity but console in general).

The good thing is that the PC version usually gets the version that’s graphically improved, like the next-gen version of GTA V that came for Xbone as opposed to the launch version for Xbox 360.

I’m not really excited for it anymore anyway. GTA V was a huge disappointment, as no single-player DLC was ever released. I’ve never been interested in the online stuff so the whole game is a distant memory for me. I also thought the story lacked the depth of previous games. The three characters felt too generic.

What I’d be really stoked for is GTA: San Andreas for Oculus Quest. It was announced by Meta 2 years ago and there has been zero info about it since so I doubt it’s still coming. But if it did I’d jump on it <3

Well looks like I won’t be getting this game on release then I like to wait for bugs anyway

espiritu_p, do gaming w GTA VI won't launch on PC

Wasn't this the case with any other Rockstar game before?

DebatableRaccoon,

Yup which is why it isn’t newsworthy

Still, it is completely insane. Outside of Sony exclusives they are the only large company that does this.

bermuda,

I’d rather they conserve resources to make a finished game on some platforms than an unfinished one on many. Look what happened when CDPR tried to release Cyberpunk on 9 platforms at once.

Zworf,

Well it was mainly screwed on consoles though, not on PC 😺

DebatableRaccoon,

They’ve made it known they don’t care for PC players in the past. It’s like that toxic ex that occasionally turns up at your door to gice you a pity fuck before slapping you in the face then leaving again

Zworf,

Ehmmmm your ex is weird.

DebatableRaccoon,

Luckily I wasn’t referring to my own though I did already know that for other reasons

The Wheel of Time and licensing their IP rights to hack-frauds, name a more iconic duo.

Music, video games, comics, the Canadian TV pilot… I don’t like the Amazon show, but at least it was actually you know, produced.

The old WoT video game was surprisingly competent, and if you’re willing to forgive its FPS nature that turned the One Power into guns, there was a lot of love for the IP, with every “gun” referencing a specific quote from the books.

Definitely not what I’d expect from a WoT game, but far from a hack/fraud.

cdipierr,

Oh yeah, making it an FPS was a weird choice. But that wasn’t a dig at the 1999 game, but at Red Eagle Entertainment, the group that announced and never made several video games over the years. Also responsible for the lousy attempt at adapting WoT as comics (which took 5 years to release 8 comics)… oh, AND the Winter Dragon TV pilot.

Never mind, my comment was almost entirely aimed at Red Eagle.

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, didn’t know they also announced video games and were responsible for the comics adaptation.

I mainly knew them for the wonderful Winter Dragon pilot. I can’t help but like it, in a so-bad-it’s-so-good way lol

malchior, do gaming w GTA VI won't launch on PC

Usual two year wait, then the next gen console re-releases. There’s absolutely no need to purchase this new at full price unless you like the multiplayer, which for some reason some people do.

RIP PC gamers. We probably wont get it till 2027.

BruceTwarzen,

I hope people stop caring by then.

agegamon, do gaming w GTA VI won't launch on PC

Oh no. Anyway…

Seriously though, if it doesn’t come out on PC it probably means I won’t be missing anything for the first couple years it exists. I can’t recall an exclusive that I felt I needed right away.

Especially the old-school ones. Halo is just so much better on PC, especially now that I can torture my friends with brutal legendary difficulty mods for halo 3… Good times.

harsh3466, do games w "Cards of Eternity: The Wheel of Time”, Wheel of Time themed card game, announced

Wow. Some of that announcement was serious buzzword salad.

In concept, as a fan of WoT, I’m definitely interested. And this is a use of AI I feel is not terrible. But a subscription? Probably not gonna work for me.

Canonically, the True Power (of the Dark One) was granted only to those who served him, whereas the One Power was open to all channelers. This makes a “One Power” subscription very funny to me.

t3rmit3, do gaming w Capgemini to acquire Unity’s Digital Twin Professional Services arm to accelerate enterprises’ digital transformation through real-time 3D technology

Note that this isn’t really related to gaming: Capgemini, formerly Capgemini Ernst & Young, is a consulting company similar to Accenture. The proserv team they’re acquiring from Unity is focused on business services, not video game development.

ArmoredThirteen,

That’s fair, I figured I’d post here though since there’s been gaming related news before. This is helping show the state Unity is in: bidding off departments to other companies. I think it is relevant that way
