GTA V for PC

[simon]

From what I remember they did have an excuse for not putting Read Dead Redemption on PC though. Apparently the developers made a real mess of the code of the game, and porting it to PC would have required a whole rewrite. I'll see if I can find the source of this.

I always thought it was because they wanted it to be console exclusive like the 2 different GOW etc. I mean those games would make a ton of money coming to pc so I don't think it was ever about the money. Learn something new every day.

Closest I can find:

We hope that with the announcement that L.A. Noire is coming to PC this fall, and the knowledge that our next big game Max Payne 3 will have a PC release (plus that we’ve released both Grand Theft Auto IV and the Episodes from Liberty City for PC), we can finally put to rest any misconceptions that we’ve ‘abandoned the PC platform’. We do know that, yes, there is just one title absent from our PC release plans – that game of course being Red Dead Redemption, and of course we’re well aware that some fans have been asking for it. All we can say is that whenever it is viable (technically, developmentally and business-wise) for us to release a game for PC (or any other particular platform) – we will and we usually do; unfortunately, that is just not the case 100% of the time for all platforms. To PC gamers, we hope that between the Grand Theft Auto titles, and the forthcoming L.A. Noire and Max Payne 3, you’ll have plenty of great Rockstar action to enjoy.

Well, whatever their reason, I do regard not releasing a PC version of RDR as a big fail. I would have loved to have played that. I have no doubt that GTA V will make it on to the PC though.

I will continue to explore every orifice of every GTA that comes out. One of my favourite game series ever. London was a bit weird though.

Only if you don't pay them for their services first.

I have read a couple of rumours that it is coming to PC a couple of month later than on consoles, so expect it around November/December.

It all depends on if they do a Console development path and then Port it to PC, I doubt that this would be a port. Rockstar know what they doing. Suppliers generally get product listings well before the release, but they can always fall back on *T&C...
