he is explaining that what he's describing isn't a port since a port typically adapts a game made for one system into another by changing its code. He uses the example of a game meant for PC today—if it were a port, it would likely be built specifically for that platform. He argues that doing this is often a shortcut or a weak approach, whereas creating something from scratch tailored to the new system avoids issues and leverages platform strengths. This contrasts with simply tweaking existing code for older consoles like Xbox 360 or Xbox One.
Thank you for your feedback. To reference the previous discussion... see the link provided: And the related thread: Considering the details shared, it looks like the PC version is likely the primary one. I think we might have faced some issues meeting the schedule, so I won’t just defend R* without careful thought. However, I’m fairly sure the PC is the base release and the evidence supports that.
I doubt the assertions about PC being the original game because it’s the final release. Also, with so much data available, it’s easy for those outside the field to misunderstand things. I’m not confirming or denying your perspective, just expressing caution—especially since many PC players often try to prove their console options are superior and latch onto anything that seems impressive.
I'm not very concerned with elitism and have no issue with consoles. What I'm doing is using the information available—those discussions, leaked build logs, and the PC gamer interview info R* shared. It gives me confidence, and I appreciate you staying skeptical instead of just following the past record. I feel pretty sure about this, though time will show.
