I think they spent the last bit of time only making the game stand out graphically compared to consoles.  I even think the last delay was for additional artwork (4K res) and optimizations, which I don't really think they had to much intentions of making at first.

 

The fact that consoles already have trainer versions (which they have for awhile), only means that once the PC modding community gets a hold of this, regardless of what they've attempted to stop us from doing or to help us do - its gonna happen. 

 

Just looking at the names of the models, not a whole lots changed from this one... still the same ol' GTA, just more stuff in it!  I'm excited.

As I've stated numerous times, and also discussed on my blog, the xbox 360 scripting engine is very similar to IV's. Also the whole "does not support" stuff is pointless. They never supported mods out of the box, you always had to inject your own stuff and had to modify some of their code sometimes. This has always been the same. Even if they took additional effort for the multiplayer part, that doesn't mean anything. To this day, no company ever managed to completely protect their product. That would require all logic to happen on the server and even games that do it this way, like League of Legends, can be hacked, e.g. by altering camera limits etc. It's always only a matter of time, maybe it takes years, but it will always be doable. I don't understand why it is so hard to understand.

It would be nice if there was mods on/off button for private lobbies, so you have the choice.

Hey guys! Gamespot did a review with Rockstar North/Rockstar Games and asked them tons of questions. One of them was this:

 

Modding took off for GTA IV PC. What are you doing to support modding for V? Is there anything within the game that supports it?

Rockstar Games: Since GTA Online has such a massive and vibrant community, our primary focus is making sure that nothing detracts from that experience or has a negative impact on the overall community of players.

 

Tell me what you think this means and how you fell about this.

Yeah, Online would be a hit, if everyone used mods, then it would get fucked. Sadly, I guess LCPDFR will have to be a single player thing, until some genious finds a solution. Remember, rockstar doesnt give two shits about the LCPDFR community. There is like what, 50,000 people here? Pfft. They care about the vast majority of people that like the GTA Series for how it is meant to be played.

 

 

Rockstars are group of people that want to get paid. Of course we will play GTAIV with mods/scripts in MP and SP in the near future. YOU WAIT AND SEE

 

I never listen on what Rockstar says about it as I know it CAN be done. Never Say I CAN"T

 

Computer games are unique. Companies can do whatever they like, but there are tons of people that are smart enough to bypass any security that Rockstar would have against modding. Modding is a computer thing and will always be.

Its not an incredibly hard thing to support mods for a game, I hope they will at least recognize that modability has a huge amount to contribute to replay value.
