jones_supa (887896) writes 'Since the release of the extremely successful Grand Theft Auto V on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, rumors about PC — and later also an Xbox One and PlayStation 4 — version have been floating around. Now it's official: Grand Theft Auto V will be released on Windows PC and Xbox One, in addition to PlayStation 4, this fall, publisher Rockstar Games announced today with a trailer. A post on Rockstar Newswire tells us that the ports will offer visual and technical improvements such as "increased draw distances, finer texture details, denser traffic and enhanced resolutions." All of the new GTA Online content that has been created and released since launch will be available also on the modern platforms. The PC version will exclusively include a video editor to allow players to put together their own clips of in-game action.'

Now I can play a mediocre game with slightly better graphics! Definitely worth $60. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some shitty first person shooter rehashes while I'm at it.

Re:PC version moderately exciting

All the ghetto thugs and gang bangers are too busy playing Office Space V, the game where you pretend to be a white collar IT worker cranking out TPS Reports, avoiding Lumberg, and browsing slashdot at work.

Re:Denser traffic?

[scuzzlebutt]

GTA V is set in Liberty City, which is akin to New York, not Southern California. But, still, denser traffic would also apply.

Why would they buy it for the new one if they've already played all the content?

Because of the shiny! The shiny damn-it! The SHINY!
Pretty graphics are what make a game awesome - so buy the game anew and get more awesomer graphics! It must be better!

THE SHINY!
