It took 217 days for GTAIV to come to PC, it is now over 200 days since GTAV came out

no way they are waiting till summer 2015 for ps4/pc/xbone.
imo it will release around september or maybe earlier with first story dlc and call it the ultimate edition or definitive edition or something like that and charge 60 bucks like tomb raider or last of us.
I'd say late Q3 or Q4 2014 for GTA5 on XB1/PS4.
Also, GameSpot has an article on what they'd like to see in the next Grand Theft Auto

I'd more expect a city and area based on Detroit rather than Chicago (since the city of Chicago is being covered a certain different game coming out next month) and because Detroit is much smaller, but could have an interesting story based around the rise and fall of the U.S. auto industry. That said, I'd also love to see Rockstar North take on Chicago just to show another company who's the king

Yeah, then again, that could be for why the delay. They know they completely ballsed up GTA Online. Maybe they are working on fixing and perfecting GTA Online before releasing on PC where likely the biggest market for it will be.
What are they, to good for E3? E3 is love. E3 is life. E3 is GAF crashing goodness.
If it means passing up on a sub-par blowjobs from a 4/10 every night for 200 days to have a week's vacation with (insert dream gal/guy here) and non-stop sex, I'll take the latter.

Nope. They will want the next gen installed base from after Xmas 2014.
May 2015 is the best I can do for you. Sorry.

E3 is also really crowded...
I just don't see a surprise PS4/Xbox One version in the works until a while after the PC version.
If their history is anything to go by, they'll make the PS4 and Xbox One version run at a very similar level. That will take a while, especially since it's new hardware for them. Then there's the QC phase which Rockstar spends a lot more time on than most developers. So that's twice the testing, maybe even more if you're trying to match performance.
I have a hunch that if GTA V comes to the new consoles, we're going to see it only on one of them. In that case, it would be a PS4 exclusive and not Xbox One. Sony money hatted the GTA V marketing campaign to release the exclusive console version and get PS3 exclusively on all the marketing, which doesn't make financial sense. Seems like there should have been more to the deal, like a next gen version IMO.

Most people would, especially if it's on sale to start with. That means that Rockstar only gets, at most (assuming Microsoft gets absolutely nothing from the sale despite operating Games for Windows Live) $3.50 of my money out of a game that would have originally sold for $50 or $60.

Because you want to play GTAV
It is quite possibly one of the worst PC ports ever to this day.
I think you'd find that most would only consider 30% a considerable amount if the remaining 70% were split between two or more parties (i.e. it was relatively considerable) as opposed to Steam's 30% to Valve and 70% -- the vast majority -- to the game's publisher. I wasn't disagreeing with the notion that a game bought at $5 only puts chump change in a publisher's pocket, but 30% of $5 is still only 30%.
Almost 2 years after the old release is hardly what i wanted to hear.
I hoped for a 2 weeks delay tops, then for the usual 6 months window.
Now it's clear they just want to squeeze every double dipper, for every cent they've got.

Its Fable all over again.
Honestly I find the game is filled with content and character, but as some reviewer(s) - Yahtzee? Neogaf? - have pointed out its obvious the game is full great intentions that didn't make the cut.
That said, count me in the PS4 rebuy crowd.
The silence hurts the most.
That window gets smaller every day closer we are to Watch_Dogs, Batman, The Order, Destiny, etc.
Right now I'd pay full retail to play it on PS4. Once I'm replaying The Last of Us? I'll probably be able to wait.
This at the end of the day. It'll come out on PC and I know at least 10 people who'll be buying no matter what and at least 4 of those including me got it on PS3.

Really don´t think there is any correlation between these games and GTA Vs next gen sales potential.
This. Is so much better than silly food analogies.
There's evidence to suggest GTAV PC exists and literally every non-handheld GTA has released on the PC. Neither can be said of Red Dead.
I've heard the rumours. And that's true they have in the past. I'm not holding my breath for it though.If it comes it comes.

Also Rockstar San Diego almost never puts out stuff on PC. Rockstar North usually does.
I'll obviously double dip for the PC version but yeah, the more they wait, the less a priority it becomes.
I'll still get it, but not at full price, not in 2015.
Well, I wouldn't say they're rumours: what I'm referring to are the PC references contained within the console config files, AMD GPU driver profiles and even the mobile app. None of these confirm with absolute certainty that R* plans on releasing a PC port, of course, but they certainly do serve as confirmation that a PC port exists, at least in some form.

Their whole PC strategy appears to be "make them buy it twice". I'm tempted to never buy it once.

The game sold extremely well on PS3/360 and next-gen consoles are selling very well, its likely they'll release on them first then delay it some more for the PC version.
PS4/XBONE really fucked it up more than the usual Rockstar release policies.

I've stopped caring. I was pretty pumped about it when it got released but there's surprisingly little buzz about it half a year later and most people on here seem to have liked it quite a bit but the concensus seems to be that it's just another GTA. I doubt it's gonna pull me off Dota 2 so might as well not bother.
I got an email from from Simplycdkeys saying Released 19th September 2014

I've given up hope.
The fact that this is the longest it's ever taken is giving me hope that they've been working on a next gen version of the game which is what is also being ported to PC.

I don't think it will significantly better no, but better frame rate on higher rigs, as well as higher possible resolution supports will always make the game be prettier. Add mod supports (like the crazy mods we had for GTA 4) and it a another buy. Sadly, my PC wo'nt ever runs the game correctly so I'd rather have it on next gen. at smooth 30fps and full 1080
Because people are assholes.
better question is do people even care about GTA anymore? Used to be a big fan but whatever.
9 months later there still aren't heists apparently and GTA is now a microtransaction machine for their $60 free to play multiplayer.
Saints Row and Sleeping Dogs are better open world games.

But...you just bumped it. Lol but I feel where you're coming from. It's been a real pain waiting on a PC release. I've been tempted to just go buy the PS3 version again and finish it up. The announcement* of a PC version coupled with how bad the PS3 version looked in that underwater submarine scene, forced me to sell it in anticipation of a PC version coming out soon. I think I've just about given up hope at this point and will just play it on my console.

It will. GTA4 PC already is another league than the console versions. It has amazing draw distance, LOD and much higher resolution textures. Then of course you can add AA and AF. GTA5 would look ridiculous on PC.

I bet it gets announced at e3. The question is will the PC version come out with the next gen versions or after? I'd guess we have next gen versions this fall, pc version next spring.
Derp gonna derp, apparently.
Oh yes, the modding! I believe GTA 4 had that iCEnhancer realistic mod that made the game look insane. Unfortunately I don't have GTA 4 on PC, so I can't treat myself to such beauty.
Now I'm just wondering whether a 780 Ti would be able to handle a GTA V version of iCEnhancer... Holy crap.
