GTA 4 was one of the first games I played using 3D. My first impression was that my new 3D kit had broke my favourite game series - everyone looked like plastic dolls! Then I found the 'advanced' settings, discovered the effect was caused by a high convergence default and upon learning the effect was completely optional quite liked it.
I'm now VERY hopeful that this bright community will be able to fix any issues and pumped that it now looks like we have the wonderful tools to do it.
I don't know about you but I can't wait to explore the most detailed, vibrant and alive virtual sandbox ever created.
C'mon! :D

Sure. I remain hopeful they will follow their previous pattern of releasing their GTA games half a year or so later. Why wouldn't they?
Edit
They better! My missus would never let me get a console and second TV to play it. D'you hear me Rockstar?!

Hopefully Steam and GOG will garner enough goodwill from the devs and gamers, that piracy is seen as less of an issue and Rockstar take a similar stance as CD Project Red.
I'm still excited anyway. :)

RDR was great, shame it never saw a PC release.
A few weeks ago, I saw an ad from Rockstar looking for a programmer to help bring their "latest titles" to PC. So there's certainly hope.

I remmember wathing this interview with Rockstar crew and one manager said that they are not going to work on any other title from the past but PC gamers will get every single one in the future.
Thats why i dont understand all this people out there complaynig that there is no release date for PC versioon - it will be but it takes time to polish thing for PC platform (piracy as well) and it will use same engine from Max Payne 3 so it will get Stereo3D and all graphic features. That is another known fact.

I bet 5k gta V will be on PC. I also read that every future title would be on PC but maybe not past (RDR).
I love GTA, but i do hope the next is more fun than gta IV. I know I'm in the minority here, but I found the game mechanics to not be hugely fun. Despite being 'less' of a game overall, i actually preferred and had more fun with Just Cause 2 (and I normally LOVE a good story).
So one shot over the top fully rendered 3D petrol tank explosions please!

A friend from work still reckons Xbox trounces PC and she often sites RDR as the reason. (Her fav game of all time.)
She genuinely seems to pity me for my choice of system. Presumably she thinks all PC's are like the ones at work. It's very frustrating!

I have a feeling you won't be disappointed. I will edit in the gameplay vid. Notice the amount of times the word 'fun' is used. :)

Lol, I had a friend who spouted the same crap. Even tool me how the controller was much more accurate than a mouse, and how 30 fps was good as it simulated a movie feel... I showed him my system (1.5 years ago).
Within one month he spent 1.6k on a 3D system with gtx 580. He never looked back and has admitted to playing the xbox just once since that time.
PC gaming is growing, and is always a larger % of total game sales year on year relative to consoles. Even console only devs are moving to the PC as well with the launch of the new consoles. Consoles lifespan is short imo. This could be the last generation of dedicated consoles. I imagine PC's and mobile devices you can plug into your TV will soon be too strong to make a business over a separate piece of hardware. Either way, GTA V will almost certainly come to the PC, and however unoptimised, with the right gear will be the best experience of the game possible.
100x so if 3D is made to work!

Dont you like this feeling when you know that someone else`s knowlage is so poor that you don`t even have look for explanation to make his look stupid.

Console lifespan is short? What planet are you from?
The 360 and PS3 are about 8 years old, and going strong. How many new graphics cards have you gone through in the last 8 years? They'll also both continue being supported for a few more years at least.
As for controllers, they're obviously not more accurate. But they're certainly better for some types of games.
I don't get all the fuss about consoles vs PC. I have a 360, PS3, high end gaming PC, and I plan to pick up a PS4 6-12 months after launch. Maybe an xbone after that, if they lure me with enough interesting exclusives. Though I'd prefer exclusives didn't exist, and all major releases came to PS4/xbone/pc.

At work I have put up a couple of posters where I have employed Day[9]'s 'Let gamers game' slogan to prevent the students bickering about consoles supremacy. Consequently that's why I couldn't reply to my friend's PC misconception because that would make me a hypocrite.
I can't wait for the next gen. GTA 5 is one of the reasons why.
