Stunning GTA V PC screenshots make the delay worse

I bet no one was expecting to wait this long when Rockstar finally announced GTA V for PC. The game has launched on consoles twice now, and still Rockstar is hammering away with the PC version. It recently got delayed for the third time, pushing the release date to early April. And I won’t lie, these new screenshots aren’t making that pill any easier to swallow.

As a pseudo apology for the delay (or painful torture), Rockstar has released a bunch of brand new screenshots straight from the PC version, with the developer stating that not a single image was touched up before presentation. That’s a little hard to believe looking at them, but you have to consider just how much work has gone into this not too simple port.

There’s going to be 4K support right off the bat, along with most of the visual enhancements you’d expect from PC gaming. Greater viewing distances, higher resolution textures and a better framerate if your Pc can handle it. The PC version will ship with Heists and first-person mode, so you’re getting the complete GTA V experience. Just much later than most other people.

But if the game manages to look as good as the shots below, I don’t really mind waiting that little bit extra.

  1. They should just call this “GTA V Remastered” at this rate. 😛

    Or even “Game of the Year Edition”

          That reminds me of the mission in Sniper Elite 2 to destroy the V2 rocket. What a bastard that that was.

    It does look a crap load better than the 360 version.

        Would be cool, but I haven’t had gold since about September last year, so no GTA Online until Heists (or PC version in 2030)

    It’s gonna looks stunning no doubt, but it’s the gameplay that puts it in a class of it’s own in open world games. Not a big fan of the map as the game feels constricted to the south moust of the time. San Andreas had you visit three different locations as the story progressed. Here’s hoping GTA6 can at get the map as big as Just Cause 2 at least

        Maybe getting this game a year and half earlier than PC had something to do with it, that and the fact I can count the amount of decently optimized non-lazy console port AAA games that have come out in the last few years on one hand. I’ll always be a PC gamer first and foremost but I don’t really feel like part of a master race at the moment, more like an unfairly treated minority race. Maybe when this, the Witcher 3 and Star Citizen finally come out in the year 2020 we can claim some superiority back again…

        Until then the only master race feeling will be from continuing to brag about modded screenshots of a certain RPG released late 2011… 🙁

    I’m more curious to see the mods that will show up as soon as it releases on the master race.

    Who gives a sh!t! I’m really tired of the wait. The same stupid excuses every time it gets delayed. I think they should just shut their mouths, and start blurting out its release the day it is released. Stop dangling that should damn carrot in front of us with all these expected release dates! They are dragging us along by the nostrils, and it is starting to hurt!

    Rockstar is not to be trusted. I would like to see some actual game play video in 4k. These screenshots look good, but could well be from the PS4 or Xbox One. It would be harder to fake 4k video.
