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

R* still have DLC for last gen to take care of.
Current gen and PC version summer 2015.

R* don't go to e3 btw. They never have.

Until summer 2015, there will be good amount of next-gen games and interest in GTA V will be lower than this summer.

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

Now that Grand Theft Auto will inevitably be transitioning once again from one console generation to another, I expect that Rockstar will once again take the opportunity to reevaluate the series' direction to ensure that the GTA games of the future don't feel like they're covering the same territory as the GTA games of the past.

I have no idea where Rockstar might take the series, but I hope that it goes against the conventional wisdom in game design right now that bigger worlds are better worlds. There's a lot of attention being paid to the size of games like The Witcher 3 and The Crew, and given that Grand Theft Auto V was so much bigger than GTAIV geographically, Rockstar might feel a certain pressure to continue making its games bigger in scope. But rather than going broader, I'd much rather that the next GTA go deeper. Instead of a bigger world and more main characters than GTAV's trio of miscreants, I'd prefer a more focused game that lets me get to know a pair of characters better.

It's also been quite a while since the series took us to a different time period, and after both GTAIV and GTAV presented visions of early-21st-century America, I'd like the series to once again set its sights on another era. We've already had GTA filtered through the lens of sleek, neon-lit 1980s excess in Vice City, but a bleaker 1980s GTA set in a more working-class city like Chicago or Detroit could be great, and given the vast chasm between the image of early 80s American life sold by the Reagan administration and the reality of it as experienced by so many Americans, this setting could afford the series the opportunity to continue exploring the theme of the American dream in a way that feels organic and relevant.

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 :)
 
GTAV for all its success, is still an unfinished vision. I really enjoyed the single player, and open world they created is probably one of the most fun GTAs to play around in. It's also clear that GTA Online was a significant part of this vision when they were designing it, because a lot of the activities and missions really felt like they would be much more fun to play with friends as well.

That's where the ball got dropped. Rockstar was completely unprepared for what it took to develop and support an online mode of the sort they envisioned. Things they promised would have been in GTA Online at launch, are STILL missing. It's unclear to me if they will ever get their heads out of their asses with regards to GTA Online, but I reckon that they would want to before launching the game on PS4/XB1/PC, simply because it would be to their advantage to go "hey look, now the game is even more complete and better than ever, time to jump back in again!"

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.
 
Join the console master race

Waiting for the definitive version is the gaming equivalent of holding off sex till you meet "the one".
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.
 
Why wouldn't they release for PS4 and XB1 and then continue to sit on a PC version to get the maximum number of sales before releasing on the platform plagued with piracy?
 
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.
 
30% isn't what I'd label "considerable".

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.
 
The longer it goes the less likely I am to ever buy the game. Most of my enthusiasm was already gone when the reactions ranged all the way from "Meh, it's more GTA" to "HOLY SHIT IT'S MORE GTA!!"
 
Do you remember the fiasco of IV's release? That was not a very good port, at least at the beginning. Many crashes and such. So perhaps this time they're looking to avoid such a scenario.

Also I think they're looking towards a dual release with the DLC.

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%.
 
PC version will probably come out alongside the next gen versions. R* are waiting for for the installed base to grow.

My guess:
- summer 14 SP DLC release
- fall 14 next gen announcement
- spring 15 next gen release

Exactly what you wanted to hear, right?

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.

Now it's clear they just want to squeeze every double dipper, for every cent they've got.

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.
 
I think the shorter time span was because GTA IV was an unoptimized piece of crap. Although I do believe Rockstar is making GTAV for PC, and thus they are taking more time optimizing it and such.

Really don´t think there is any correlation between these games and GTA Vs next gen sales potential.
 
It's probably not coming. RDR never did.The last few year's its possible they have decided a pc port for their games is just too much of a bother.Besides,GTA online was a disappointment.

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.

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.
 
My guess is that Rockstar/Take2 will announce a "GTA V Definitive Edition" for PS4, X1 and PC at E3, with a scheduled holiday season 2014 release.
 
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 want both PS4 and PC versions. I love GTA V so much. PS4 for Online (hopefully without the hackers) and single player. I will play on PC for mostly messing around, eye candy and mods. PC version I will likely wait for a largely discounted sale.
 
Do you guys think it'll look significantly better than the PS3/360 versions if it does actually come to PC? I don't imagine they'd re-texture everything or something (forgive me for my lack of knowledge as to how porting works).

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
 
Why are these threads getting bumped if there's no new information? E3 is next week.

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.

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.
