(i) “Really fighting” are my words, not his. Doesn’t mean it’ll happen—heck, Microsoft’s having a hard time getting Starfield working on NS2—but that there does appear to potentially be interest at Rockstar. (ii) Why not PC? TBH I think it’s because Rockstar wants the least amount of controversy possible with this launch. There has never been such a thing as releasing a game which demands strong PC specs and receiving acclaim at launch— most PC gamers don’t have the hardware to support many modern games running at 1440p 60fps as much as they like to deny this reality. That’s the reason so many great games like MHWilds, Dragon’s Dogma 2, first-party Sony, etc., have been torn to shreds by the Steam community at launch: They simply don’t have the hardware to match the software, and so, they blame the devs. |
Any amount of controversy there wouldn't matter compared to all the extra money they'd make from the extra sales and microtransactions bought. The issue with Wilds and Dogma 2 wasn't them being demanding, it was them being poorly optimized. The console versions were flawed too so the devs did have blame for that. People can sometimes be silly with expecting their ancient PC to be able to run demanding modern games but GTA 6 should get a lot of leeway since it's expected it'll be demanding. It's gonna run on the Series S so as long as it's not badly optimized complaints on that end should be small.
