    What do you think the spec requirement will be? Hopefully it isn't a terrible port like GTA IV.

    This time, it doesn't look like it. Might still be a safe bet to use a controller when playing it. However, it will probably have new server and client built to actually run and interact on computers instead of rigged while still acting exactly like console.

    Wow. Just wow.

    Probably the same people who were screaming from the rooftops saying the PC version would never happen without that other petition, completely forgetting every other main-line GTA game was on PC.

    I plan on using my Dualshock 3. I tricked Windows into thinking it's an Xbox controller.

    Not that hard, just xbox ones work by default because microsoft includes the drivers with the os.

    Any program can mount it otherwise, and any controller can be installed and calibrated as a "joypad".

    Eww.. Playstation controllers.

    (I dunno, I don't like how teeny the bottom part is, nor the configuration of the sticks... Though to be fair that last bit could be because I'm just used to xbahx controllers by now. :p )

    Playstation 3 controllers are AWFUL, but the PS4 ones are probably my favourite now. The 360 is still a good standard but the XbOne just isn't the same.

    Xbox controllers hurt my hands if I use them for too long.

    I've always liked the button placement on PS controllers more, but now that I have extensive experience with 360 controllers I'm pretty much entirely in the PS controller master race boat.

    Hm.. feels pretty similar to me, a bit of a different shape, sticks are a bit different as well. I miss the green player light (both on the Xbox and the controller) I wouldn't mind if it were white or something to fit the aesthetic, I just liked being able to see which player was which. :p

    I love the Playstation 3 controllers. Their marshmallow shoulder buttons are kinda weird, but they just feel better than Xbox in my opinion. Xbox controllers are just too big. Especially that mess from the original Xbox.

    Maybe that's because I've only ever used the Xbox when playing being destroyed in Halo or CoD with friends so I'm not used to them but still. They're just uncomfortable to me.

    Original Xbox controller was TERRIBLE, but it's funny I find PS3 controllers much to small, PS4 controllers being even smaller... and I have small hands...

    I also never liked the fact it had a button as apposed to a trigger, it felt wrong. :p

    Playstation controllers have had triggers for R2 and L2 since PS3...

    They weren't the same, those weren't triggers, they were slanted buttons. :p
