Rockstar Games "Considers" GTA V Wii U and PC Versions
Rockstar Games' biggest title for 2013, Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) is slated to arrive in Spring 2013, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms, with no PC version, much to the dismay of PC gamers and enthusiasts. In an interview with IGN, Rockstar Vice President Dan Houser suggested that versions of the game for the Nintendo Wii U and PC are "up for consideration," a cleverly constructed phrase that settles quite a bit of uncertainty. It shows that Rockstar hasn't even begun work on a PC version of GTA V.
"We are a third-party publisher. We're not Nintendo, we're not Sony, we're not Microsoft. We love all of them in different ways. But we can do what we want wherever there's the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market," said Houser. "Some other people talk about the limitations of the [current] hardware. We don't feel there are that many limitations. We feel we can do some very impressive stuff and do it for a large audience. This felt like the way," he added.

I seriously hope that they won't release another crappy console port. Release a proper PC game or don't release anything at all.
Blah, why can't the gaming industry go back to it's earlier days? Less emphasize on Money grubbing, more on innovation.
I could careless about GTA... I have played them and I think they are stupid. think it is a idiotatic game for idiots to play. so let the console gamers play it ;)
Tablets will be in charge.
The we'll get a tablet dock that ends up looking like a laptop again. Except that dock has more functional parts and other exotics we haven't considered yet.
Like an i-pad docking keyboard with 10 TB SSD storage with built in wireless telephony device.
(Please keep this post as proof of my pre patent idea). Apple - I will sue you when you make the device for home gaming and integrate a wireless telephony device with built in 2-way ultra speed (low latency) camera.
At the moment we call it a PC with Skype.
5 years folks, we'll be back here.
You can steal an idea but you cant steal a patent ;)
If all you idiots cared about was the ability to run it on max settings on your mid-range hardware, then the only thing Rockstar would have had to do to optimize the game would be to limit max settings. Make what they called medium the max, and you all would have been happy. The game would have run perfectly fine on mid-range hardware on "max" settings. And you all would have talked about how well "optimized" the game was. And it still would have looked way better than 720p Low settings we got on the consoles.
The fact of the matter is that when the PC version game out I played through it on a Athlon X2 4400+ and an HD4670, and it looked better than the console versions.
Also they can pirate in ps3 and xbox 360 but we cant compare to pc. If this gta is just like IV im not going to buy it thats for sure.
EDIT: SSD should help with this game as well! :toast:
