They did a good job with the Max Payne 3 port

This is for GTA V on PC i think. What else have Rockstar Leeds been doing? they haven't made any games since GTA chinatown wars in 2009/10 on DS, PSP and iOS. 3 years is a long time



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

'When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called the people's stick'- Mikhail Bakunin

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

For such a long time I had hoped they were making GTA: San Andreas Stories for Vita.

But you're right, I think their new job is PC ports of their franchises. LA Noire; Max Payne & probably GTA 5 next. Ah well.



If they're only just hiring now, I don't think we will be seeing a PC version of GTA V for quite a while.

It's the gameplay trailer today, right? Maybe some next gen news today then.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

This time around, PC environment migth mean next-gen consoles



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Damn... I was hoping for something on GTAVita



Bad R* Leeds! They made the great Stories games for PSP, so like others, I was hoping for something for Vita

Having said that, they haven't released anything for a while, I don't know their size AND R* has quite a few studios and it isn't really clear what all of them do, so this doesn't rule anything out

What it does indicate is that they intend to port GTA V to PC which is good, it would ideally mean GTA V on PS4 as well (and XB1 I guess) and RDR on PC, but we can only wait and see



As long as this helps release GTA V on PC. I bought GTA on PC only. I'm not breaking that.

Well it's just one position, most likely someone left recently or something. They have a history of doing PC ports (LA Noire, Max Payne 3 etc) so they likely have a full team of people already working on it.
