Hm what a curious comment, so you think 1280 x 720p @ less than 30fps with horrible popup is not blown away by a NATIVELY rendered 1680 x 1050 with 16 AF @ 30 - 40 fps . I bet you are one of those people that believed Mass Effect couldn't "run" on a PC. I even get the feeling if I reduced the settings to the 360 version my PC could probably get 90 - 100fps out of this game. However 720p is too lo-res for me. But you keep living in lala land I am sure it is very comforting. Meanw...
I would like to assure Codemasters that as a PC gamer I promise not to pirate this game. Really I promise I will never ever ever download this game. I firmly believe the developers of this "game" should be adequately rewarded for all their time and effort, therefore I won't be buying this sack of crap either that should be enough reward I think.
I mean is it just me or does anyone else wonder what the HELL is going on with the software industry these days. I mean w...
Ok maybe someone can clear up my confusion here. I remember one time listening to console users BRAGGING that their games don't need long installs, you just pop the disc in and play. Whereas PC's have to have their games installed on the HDD because the PC's are soooooo rubbish.
Yet here we are with another game that has a mandatory install option on a console and all of a sudden it's "oh well it's a great idea, it runs the game better" etc etc. You could almost cu...
lol well I guess we will see what we shall see. I personally wish they would keep this rubbish off the PC. I have no doubt we will see dozens of stories blaming "piracy" on lack of DMC4 sales on the PC when in reality it will be due to no PC gamer actually CARING about the game.
I disagree with you for what you said about PC users pirating this game. I have every confidence that PC users will not pirate this game, they simply won't even want to waste the bandwidth on this console rubbish. I really do not know what Capcom are thinking about bringing this to the PC I cannot see any market for this game on the PC whatsoever. Just remember it won't be piracy that kills this game it will be a general lack of interest in this kind of genre on the PC. I know I have no p...
Hm interesting interview, it just goes to show that there are morons at every level of business really. You do have to wonder how this guy actually got the job with him being so out of touch technology wise. I mean come on a $4000 PC please give me a break. Actually I am quite over the moon at that comment because I got a bargain then, my $1,000 PC plays all console ports at higher resolutions and better framerates. The only game that pushes it slightly is Crysis but that is still playabl...
Ah a console kiddie living in fantasy land again. If the PC is dying please tell me why we are getting 300 games this year of which 180 of them are exclusive to the PC ? Please tell me why nearly all the console big hitters are on the PC or coming to the PC eg Mass Effect, Burnout Paradise, Gears Of War etc etc etc
If this is what happens when the PC dies I never want it to live I can barely keep up with all the games as it stands at the moment. Anyway I will let you get bac...
Rockstar said nothing of the sort. If you are referring to whatifgaming that has been debunked. The official line from Rockstar when asked about the PC version is "no comment". I of course would be very interested in any information and proof you may have regarding this mythical statement though.
Yeah because Piracy doesn't happen on the consoles does it ..... Oh wait it does, the game was out for nearly a week on torrent sites before the game officially came out. As for your 72" TV, you can of course connect a PC to your TV and enjoy PROPER natively rendered 1080p graphics instead of 640/720p upscaled.
It is horses for courses. I am playing GTA 4 with a controller and personally I feel this game would be massively better with a mouse to aim with, instead of the retarded, out of date auto-aim and manual aim that is so slow as to be practically useless.
This over the top protection is killing the PC games wise. I was very much looking forward to Mass Effect but since they are doing a Bioshock I will do what I did when I heard Bioshock had this protection, I simply won't buy it. Now before you all leap on me and go "yeah you will pirate it". I have never pirated PC games, I do not need too and I don't see the point of doing it. I will admit to getting cracked exe's though so I can play the game without the pathetic DRM though. ...
I take it no one actually BOTHERED to look at the counter. It is not counting DOWN it is counting up, it is also only the seconds that are changing, the minutes, days or hours NEVER change. I believe this is an old webpage that Rockstar never took down. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with a new version of GTA 2 coming out ANYWHERE. I look forward to the dozens of disagrees I will get from me stating the blatantly obvious.
Oh yeah and one final thing, that counter did not &q...
Then you aren't very knowledgable are you DevonTheDude535. It is a fact that Rockstar and Take 2 put every version of GTA on steam some months ago from GTA 1 right up to GTA SA. I also believe they have put Midnight Club on Steam as well. So it is obviously something they are interested in utilising.
As for the controls you talk as if GTA is nothing but a driving game. It is far more than a driving game, alot of the game centres around aiming and shooting for that a mouse ...
Many apologies TheExecutive I wasn't replying directly to you but to Breakfast (4.1) that posted up the forum link to those gifs. It has already been confirmed that those gifs were taken from the PIRATED version of the game.
@No_PUDding you really don't know much about anything do you. A pirated 360 game cannot be run from the Hard disc as far as I know. It has to be burned onto a Dual Layer DVD. This coupled with cheap crappy media can lead to imperfections in the disc whi...
I believe those gifs were taken from a pirated version of the 360 game. A pirated version will have many imperfections in the disc that the retail version won't. Normally in a retail game it doesn't matter but with a game like GTA that relies on heavy streaming from the DVD it can cause glitches like this. I don't expect you to believe me you have no doubt formed your opinion that "the 360 sucks" without thinking of any alternative explaination.
and it is the only part of Vista that did exceed expectations :-p
I haven't bought an ID game since Doom 3. I tried the beta of Enemy Territories : Quake Wars and found it to be the dullest game I have ever played, so naturally I didn't buy it. I think if ID put as much thought into their games as they do their game engines they might produce a game PC gamers want to buy, the same goes for Epic.
A word of warning to console gamers, be careful with ID games, do not get caught up in the hype and wait for extensive reviews of the games before ...
I said this in another news story, the reason people don't like Vista is down to the speed of it. Every time I buy a PC part, I do so because that part is faster, more efficient, smaller and cheaper. Every single part of the PC except of course Vista, with Vista it is slower than XP, less efficient than XP, larger than XP and more expensive than XP. If Vista was any other PC part people would be laughing at it, yet we find it acceptable because it is an OS.
As for the "...
Would you like that the price tag of $20,000 for that console though.
@ NarsilianShard I am curious why you would include a monitor in your calculations ? I mean surely if we are going to keep this fair and square you should factor in the cost of a HD TV when buying a 360. A PC no longer "NEEDS" a monitor t can easily be connected up to either a SD or a HD TV, I have my PC connected to a monitor AND a SD TV. Now if you remove the $150 cost of the monitor you can easily have enough money for the rest of the PC "bits".
