Only GTA V is confirmed with support NVIDIA 3D VISION 2015 ?

Here a screenshot how it looks in MP3. Unfortunately my game changes always into German, but "Trennung" means "separation" ;)

My main concern is, even though the game might support true 3D Vision from an engine that was used for Max Payne 3, that Rockstar has made tweaks to the engine and those tweaks break things when 3D Vision is used. Hopefully I am wrong but I already have the game purchased as I look forward to the large world there is to explore and I am trying really hard to get used to 2D gaming again.

One thing that is really interesting about GTA5 compared to prior versions is that they actually paid attention to what modders did to GTA4. I spent a little time fooling around with mods there, and a lot of the stuff was like ENB and SweetFX to dramatically change the lighting effects and reflections. It looks like Rockstar at least paid attention to that modding enthusiasm, because they even have a "Principal Lighting Artist", and it really shows. I've played maybe a third of the game on XBox 360, and even on that primitive hardware the lighting is noticeably better than before. The lighting effects are the biggest risk from a 3D standpoint, as most of the more sophisticated stuff uses deferrered rendering. Pretty obvious to fix though if anyone there runs it in 3D. I preordered it because I could get a 25% off at GreenMan. Normally I fully refuse to take that suckers bet, but for GTA5 either the 3D is good, or I'll want to take a look to fix it, so I figured I might as well. Then of course they give me a pre-order 'bonus' of $1.5M in game money to be sure that they suck absolutely any difficulty out of the game whatsoever. I plan to buy the most expensive cars I can get and set them on fire to burn up the stupid money.

In fact that GTA V has native support NVIDIA 3D VISION going to make me buy the first day. It is the key to my motivation for wanting to play it.

[quote="vulcan78"]Yep, same here, I almost pulled the trigger on this game last night (pre-order) but then I remembered that GTA 5 actually launched in Sept. of 2013 and that Rockstar purposely delayed releasing it for the PC as a profit oriented measure. The logic was, there would be a sizable portion of console owners that would migrate to PC within the intervening two years and who would likely simply purchase GTA 5 again to experience it in 2.5k / 4k / 60 FPS / 3D Vision glory with all of the new features. If they released the PC version alongside the consoles those with both the console in question and a PC would simply purchase the PC version or those who considered migrating to PC would do so earlier, motivated by the prospect of playing GTA 5 in it's ultra high-def / 60 FPS / 3D glory. So I say..... FUCK YOU ROCKSTAR. I WILL NOT PURCHASE YOUR GAME AT LAUNCH. I WILL WAIT ONE YEAR HENCE UNTIL YOUR GAME IS ON SALE AND DEPRIVE YOU OF THE $30 DIFFERENCE. YOU MAKE US WAIT FOR PROFIT? OK, NOW YOU FUCKING WAIT FOR LESS PROFIT. [/quote] You have no idea if that's actually why it was delayed. Look at when GTAV released on previous gen consoles. Then look how long it took to come to next gen (with delays!) then look how long it took to come to PC afterward (again, with delays.) Now, when looking at those time gaps, also look at the difference between the games. GTAV on current gen is a very different game from last gen, and the differences are hugely noticeable. GTAV on PC is again, adding a bunch of features (have you seen that video editor? Wow.), stuff like 3D Vision included. I don't think they're releasing it late just to try and nickel and dime more money out of people buying it again. The percentage of people who are actually going to do that is a very, very small portion. It's way more likely that PC came later because there are a lot more features and a lot more work needed to be done to make the game do well on the platform. GTAV current gen is a better game than GTAV last gen, and GTAV PC is a better game than GTAV current gen. With each release there are things improved and added, which explains the later release.

I really don't understand all the complaints I've been reading about Rockstar delaying the PC version. Lately, it seems a lot of AAA games release on all platforms simultaneously, and the PC version is just a shitty port of the console versions, that isn't optimized and often full of bugs, sometimes requiring players to wait weeks or even months, if at all, for a patch. As a result, I've heard a lot of complaints from people and gaming news sites, how we wish companies would treat their PC versions as more than just an afterthought, and I completely agree. Now, we'll have to wait a few more days to see, but it really does seem as though Rockstar tried to make the PC version the best possible version of the game. Understandably, that requires more time. They could have released a PC version back in 2013, but it most likely would've have been the same past-gen version of the game. Would anybody here really have preferred a shitty port with low-res assets, possibly poorly optimised, and more importantly, without 3D Vision support? Like I said, we'll have to wait a couple of more days to see one way or the other. If it turns out that after all this time the game is still a total mess, doesn't actually run well without a 980 SLI setup, and 3D is completely broken, then that would be very disppointing to a lot of poeople, and I'd say boycott away. But if it is indeed the "Ultimate" version they say it is, then shouldn't we be thanking them for doing exactly what we've been asking of game developers?

Why shall I boycott a company that gives me a game I like to purchase and to play? I don't get it. Only for the reason that they were using Windows Live in their predecessor? Sure that sucks. Only for the reason that they have their own Social Club or whatever? Sorry, these are all no clear reasons for me. I do not need anyone trying to convince me to boycott a game, a company. I have a clear mind and I decide everytime myself whether or not to buy a game. This all like those people screaming at each new release of CoD that this game would be for 11 years or whatever and that the old games have been better and Activision should stop making CoD. Why? We should be happy to get so many high quality games as we had in recent years. If we are not happy with a game it is very easy. We should decide ourselves not to purchase it. This not a boycott but your own decision. Let's be happy that we finally get GTAV and to be honest it was not bothering me a lot that I could not play this game in the last years.

GTA 5, ANY GAME FOR THAT MATTER, was / is up and running on a PC before consolization began / begins. The whole "we were optimizing it for two years" rationale properly translated is: "We wanted to ensure maximum profit by delaying the release of the PC version, thereby increasing sales from a group of the consumer base who migrated from console to PC in the intervening period and felt compelled to purchase the game again".

Here once more in all caps: GTA 5 WAS CREATED AND UP AND RUNNING ON A WINDOWS PC BEFORE THE PROCESS OF OPTIMIZING IT FOR THE VARIOUS CONSOLES [u]EVEN BEGAN[/u]. [/quote] You really don't understand how game development works dude. The game is up and running on a PC in a development environment, not in a Windows specific environment. It's developed in a way that it will work with the types of assembly instructions that the console processor uses. You're right that it can work on a Windows PC, provided they released it with whatever dev tools it's developed with. Which they of course legally can't do or they'll be sued to hell by the console developers. Having a game that is able to run within Windows is not the same as having a Windows game. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how development works.

GTA 5, ANY GAME FOR THAT MATTER, was / is up and running on a PC before consolization began / begins.

The whole "we were optimizing it for two years" rationale properly translated is:

"We wanted to ensure maximum profit by delaying the release of the PC version, thereby increasing sales from a group of the consumer base who migrated from console to PC in the intervening period and felt compelled to purchase the game again".

Seriously, are people really this stupid / naive?

Here once more in all caps:

GTA 5 WAS CREATED AND UP AND RUNNING ON A WINDOWS PC BEFORE THE PROCESS OF OPTIMIZING IT FOR THE VARIOUS CONSOLES EVEN BEGAN.


You really don't understand how game development works dude. The game is up and running on a PC in a development environment, not in a Windows specific environment. It's developed in a way that it will work with the types of assembly instructions that the console processor uses. You're right that it can work on a Windows PC, provided they released it with whatever dev tools it's developed with. Which they of course legally can't do or they'll be sued to hell by the console developers. Having a game that is able to run within Windows is not the same as having a Windows game. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how development works.
