[POLL] Do you think GTA V PC is a parallel, or a port?

[Maxxi]

This is a separate poll so I'm putting it here instead of the Mega-thread.
Based on current evidence dating almost a month ago, it is believed that the MP3 team is working on GTA V's port for PC. But rumors have sparked that its a parallel.
What about you guys?
/discuss, and post evidence of certain related things to the topic and etc.

Are you stupid?  Any game going to another system is called a port.  Of course it's a port.

There has been no clear identification that this is a port or not, this is a discussion on what people think. This game could have literally been developed in parallel and it got delayed because of what they've had to do.

do you...do you know what words mean? just their definitions?

Calm down he just didn't know.

I would assume port cuz I believe all Gta games were released on consoles first.

This is a discussion, Relax.
Yes I do.
Port = porting over the game to other systems
Parallel = developing the game alongside console versions
There just isn't any clear defined answer from Rockstar if its a port or not so I'm asking what you guys think based off of what you've seen/thought/heard.

[Comatose]

It is indeed a port. Rockstar confirmed it some time last year when it was announced. The difference is that this time it's being ported by (I think) Rockstar Toronto, who created the surprisingly good Max Payne 3 PC port.

Its a port, why would they spend as much money developing the game on the pc after the initial release of the console version? Its not hard to see what they did with, albeit a view model changes (to accompany the new first person feature) and a few GUI changes. The rest of the codes been copy/pasted and configured for pcs.

[Ben Grapevine]

If you spend like 8 months after console release working on a pc version it's painfully obvious that it's a port. It could be quality, but still a port.

Before GTA V was even released, yes.
My mind skipped a year and I feel old.

REGARDLESS, roughly when GTA V was released. Which is the point.
