Consoles today are more powerful than the average PC. I didn't believe it until I saw the steam hardware survey. Consoles and PC have influenced eachother- how many PC gamers today use controllers? The distinction has blurred somewhere in the 2010s.

I am probably PC gamer and I do not use controller and do not plan to do. Aiming with mouse vs aiming with controller will always differ - tbf, even when shooter games(Doom and Duke Nukem 3D, even Descent) used keyboard for aiming that had a lot more options than modern controllers, which I personally think is a big step down from PC joystics. What you are mostly seeing are console players, who are playing games on P…

This is really interesting. I remember that the GTA 5 build log file was leaked back in the day. It contained a lot of interesting information too (e.g., something along the lines of an "auto play bot" which failed at a certain mission). I'm looking forward to some summary of this soon in a blog/Youtube video :-). That being said, it's a shame T2/R* is taking down/suing mods for this type of bad port. Despite being w…

Nobody should be surprised Rockstar went as cheap as possible and suckered everyone. Rockstar is infamous for milking GTA 5 while not spending a dime on doing anything about harassment/trolling/hackers. I stopped playing GTA 5 after some rando found me in one of the more isolated parts of the map and just decided to kill me over and over and over again. There was nothing I could do to get away from him; I'd respawn c…

A friend of mine called me late last night and told me some people were saying the entire game source code was leaked on PC, which was why Rockstar took down their servers for over 24 hours (and then brought it back up without the GTA Trilogy) I know that a lot of dev notes and other stuff have been leaked, but nothing to confirm the entire source code was leaked. Though I remain hopeful

Is there a mature discussion on the history of 'consolization' anywhere online, first examples I am aware of are 2003: Deus-ex Invisible War and 2004: Thief - Deadly Shadows, where the PC port is deliberately gimped due to being developed for console. GTA VC/San Andreas were worth at least waiting for at the time, due to proper mouse support and higher resolution. Previously the Doom/Quake version that was on console…

I have worked on console games since the 360/PS3 era, (which was 10 years ago, so my info is probably a little rusty) > the PC port is deliberately gimped due to being developed for console. If you want to have a mature discussion on the topic don't start out with this attitude. Timelines are finite, and plans change. Remember that the games you're talking about existed before licensing ue4/unity was the default opti…

Yes, Windows 2000, the newest consumer Windows in 2002 when Grand Theft Auto 3 was released.

Windows 2000 wasn't a consumer OS, and it is older than Windows XP which came out in October 2001.
