Guess Ill have to play Dr Brain instead.
Time to dust off the old CD collection, I guess!
That train game in The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain will live rent-free in my head for all eternity.
time to run Crusader: No Regret
I just played through the castle of Dr brain a couple of months ago and had a blast!
how could they do something like that
Wait till you find out they will first release it to consoles and only after 2-3 years will release it to PC.
Good thing I stopped being interested in GTA around 2010.
This is disgusting. Completely unacceptable. Truly they’ve gone too far this time. I demand that there be prompt and thorough compensatory action.
why is Thor crying this time?
He was out of mana what do you want him to do!
you're on the list now
Thats on you, bud
tears are stored in an array
Even worse, it's in Lua so the array starts at 1.
Someone said to him "I don't care" after he mentioned that he worked at blizzard
His voice changer ran out of battery :(
This is such a classic gif lol
Dang it .... time to upgrade to Win 7
I'll just upgrade to 8
Nah, I'll update to the forbidden windows 9
7 8 9 so there is no such thing.
That's what the CIA and big Microsoft wants you to believe, but I have managed to have access to the servers from windows and get windows 9, my dad's uncle's brother's son works at Microsoft so he let me in
Ya well my brothers friends dads uncle works for xbox and im going to get you banned and take all your robux.
And get caught up thinking you're using Windows 98, because of lazy regex checks: windowsVersion ~ '9.*'
and vista?
and xp?
I'll believe it when I see it. Hate rumours
But I just got my copy of win 95 like last week, the fuck, M$ need to sort there shit out.
Good thing I'm still using DOS
The world went downhill after DOS. Stay put, my friend.
Literally unplayable.
Very good to know.
How about my Samsung smart fridge?
I’m going to end it all
At least Windows ME is safe! Right?
Windows ME don't even run on Windows ME
Windows ME and safe should never be in the same sentence.
This is outrageous! It’s unfair!
hopping for mod support amd community patches *fingers crossed *
I will never update
Somebody's definitely gonna make it a challenge and try to get GTA-VI running on like Windows 7.
There's stuff like KernelEx and OpenCore for running newer apps on older versions of windows (KernelEX for running 2000/XP apps on 98, OpenCore for running 7 and later apps on XP), I recall there being a similar thing being made for Windows 7 but I can't remember the name of it.
I could see Win 7 maybe being possible since it brought in the modern driver system that 10 and 11's is built on.
People have managed to run modern versions of Minecraft Java Edition on 98, and OpenCore lets you run Steam and modern browsers on XP. I'd assume the biggest problem would be graphics drivers and DirectX/Vulkan since the cards that would be powerful enough (even just barely) to run the game would only have drivers for 10/11+ (no idea if they could force-installed or "hacked" to work on 7).
For all we know, somebody could end up getting the PS5 version to run on Linux via a compatibility layer before we even get a PC version announcement like 2-5 years after launch.
I'm still waiting for Windows 98 to finish shutting down.
I'll never going to downgrade my perfectly fine PC to windows XP, these artificial requirements will just create e-waste, government should intervene
According to tech experts...
This is planned obsolescence !!
But will it run on my Nintendo DS?
Damn I just upgraded…
Genuine question, is it compatible with windows xp?
Ahh, so it WILL run on Windows ME? :)
Could you guys PLEASE optimize your games? How fucking lazy can triple A studio get nowadays?
Don't care; it will run perfectly on my machine if I play at 800x600 with everything at sub-low and 20 fps, as it was intended by the developers. My 15-year-old card is definitely still very capable of "playing" modern games. The problem is the optimization.
But Windows ME is fine right??
They already lost my business when they didn't release GTA5 on floppy disks
I just heard half of Reddit yell “hold my beer”
Not if MattKC has anything to say about it!
So OS/2 Warp support is not ruled out then?
Will it work on Windows 9?
Awwww dinggitt
What about Windows 2000?
Challenge accepted
Is there people using this windows in 2025???
Damn.. Guess I'll upgrade to windows Vista.
The dude with the 1060 "why is this game so badly optimized, I was expecting at least ultra 165 fps"
NOOOOOOO WHYYYYYYYY
Jokes on you I’m still using the first edition
NOOOOOOOOO
My bad just bought a 98 ,lol
Wait, does this mean there won't be a floppy disk edition as well?!
The fastest I've ever cancelled a pre-order. Gutted.
We need one of those bots that posts this everyday just in case the situation ever changes.
Ive pre-ordered the MS-DOS version which has 27 Million floppy discs.
What are you talking about? It'll be compatible. We're on 11, we have 87 more editions of windows until we get to 98
Ha, jokes on you. I still got windows 95
It won't be compatible with Windows 11 either. AT THIS RATE.
/r/patientgamers in shambles.
Damn you RTX!
By now, I would probably pay a lot of money for an old PC with all the old games installed. Mostly because I am too stupid or far too lazy to find ways to get those games again and then get them to work on the current systems.
Well, time to upgrade to Windows Me I guess…
And if I use MemMaker?
Back to the most violent game I can remember…skifree!
I think it's incompatible with this specific pc because it has no turbo button.
I'm still on win 10 WITHOUT safe boot cuz of some missing partitions and wrong file formats or something
Am I cooked?
Such BS!
FUCK....... FUCK
Windows Me however?
bruh... that is not acceptable
Equivalent of people asking if the ps4 version is gonna come out
Well, shit.
Damn gotta Upgrade my PC now thanks to GTA 6
Well fuck..
Atleast its compatible with Windows ME
Are we talking about 1998 or 2098? You never know with Rockstar.
This is bullshit. I'm never using windows again!
CRAP!!!!!
I see they hate money.
Well actually... You might be able to play it through cloud gaming
Nah, I'll make it work.
Not even after the day's routine 5th reboot?
Literally unplayable. Windows XP is still not a stable OS, hoping MS will release Service Pack 4 for XP... lol 😆
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No word about first edition...
Bought a desktop that looked like that from a friend. It had a P3 at about 800mhz. My buddy had put in a DVD drive, so I thought I was super hot shit watching Gone in 60 seconds on my 17" CRT.
This exists?
Im sure SpecialK can make it compatible somehow.
Quick, make a petition!
At least it will work on Vista.
What about Crysis?
Looks like I'm updating to Windows Me. Wish me luck.
Gateway :)
Its outrageous, its unfair.
This sucks, I might have to upgrade from my Pentium I now.
Literally unplayable
Guess I know what I won't be buying smh
The hell you mean I have to update AGAIN?!
It's finally time to grade up
What's the newest version? Windows 99?
mods will fix
I love how this sub, is falling for Microsofts campaign. To shame people into switching to 11. Right now, the board and investors are not happy. That adoption isn't anywhere near what it should be and on top of that. They cant use recall or the other features as they have been called out. Stop falling for thier BS, if people don't want to switch to 11. Yet, why should they? There is not a reason for most people.
I'm glad I put off that upgrade, guess I'll skip right to XP.
Good thing I updated to windows me
At the moment, GTA 6 won't be compatible with any version of Windows
Shit show, sherlock. Don't tell.
Time to switch to Linux. I hear Mandrake is pretty good.
Feeling pretty smug right now with Windows ME.
Nice
I have a 700 mghz pentium III with an integrated GPU will I be able to play it with on high quality ? I'm a bit concerned with space too as i only have a 20 GB HDD and half of it is taken to keep pictures of my cat
Oh Jesus fucking Christ! Why can’t I play on stuff I want to play on?! Making me fucking upgrade to shit I don’t want to upgrade to. Fuck this world. I’m so fucking over it.
XPsp2?
Well what if I install all "Plus!"
Well back to 95 we go.
Welp. Windows 2000 it is, then.
Image I can hear
Random question from someone who’s doesn’t know enough to not ask. Why haven’t we all just agreed to switch to linux and give Microsoft a heart attack?
What do Tech Experts know? They are almost always wrong.
Wow i didn’t know!
Win 7/8 cant even start Rockstar launcher
Fuck Windows 98.
Oh, Viewsonic Flatscreen! It felt like watching an iMAX movie!
1 day later someone will mod it to work with 98
What a loss
Another W for PS5 /s
Damn. I guess it's time to upgrade.
It's like I wake up every day only to bad news, every single day.
Actually unplayable
I heard it will be on windows Vista my bros don’t worry we’re safe
Fuck… i just upgraded my hardware to support 98, i am actually seething!
Time to review bomb.
Poor optimization.
What are these fancy colourful graphics? Will it run on DOS?
GAME DEVS NEED TO SLOW DOWN WITH THOSE INSANE HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS WINDOWS 98 SE NOT BEING SUPPORTED!?!?!? THAT'S BEYOND UNOPTIMAZATION
what aboot WIN 3.1
I am sure someone will find a way.
What kind of monster mounts the optical drive like that? In the bottom bay with an empty bay above it? Gross.
Why would someone want to run GTA 6 on Windows 98? The operating system has been continuously improved since then, and back in those days there were frequent problems until SE - it only became more stable starting with Windows 2000.
What about 3.11 WFW?
How about dos?
Will it work with 95 then? I can downgrade just fine.
/s
Breaks my heart...
This is a sad day my friends
Is this passive-aggressive meme part of the "buy Windows 11" astroturfing campaign?
Will it be compatible with 95?
You may have to switch to Windows 2000.
Literally unplayable
Damn time to upgrade to WinMe
Nooooooooooo 😭
is this officially confirmed by Rockstar or is this speculation meant to cause distress?
What about windows ME?
Its fine, I can still run Quake 1 in DOS.
Just you wait until MichaelMJD and MattKC will hear about this.
I'm sure someone will figure out how to make it work
Phew...good thing I have the first edition of windows 98.
How about xp?
tech experts themselves don't have an idea yet
XP should be fine, but you might need to run a Windows 11 virtual box.
I know you joking, but does virtual box even work with XP anymore?
Im curious
I remember installing xp on a pc with intel celeron 300Mhz cpu 2gb hdd and 64mb ram. That pc got choked to death when i tried to play doom in the next hour.
Got to have Service Pack 3.
XP i am on 2000 still
