LA Noir came in 3 DVDs, I don't see how GTAV can be any less than that. I'm going for the PS3, even if and when it comes to PC it's gonna be old news, no mods of real cars and something like ice will make the game more fun.GamerwillzPS wrote:It'll come to the PC, I'm sure of it.
Holy Jesus, 60GB? I know it's just a speculation, but I do feel sorry for lemmings if it's true.
I think on vgchartz is listed as less than a million (0,71) compared to nearly 10 million each for PS3 and 360. I don't think vgchartz count steam sales but steam users are less than PS3/360 so even with that the "superior s version" (alben late as hell) was the least sold.

VGchartz is not a creditable source and Steam do not release sales figures.

No GTA game has been announced for PC with the initial announcement. Yet every one of them has been ported a matter of a few months afterward. It's going to release on PC, just like the others.

Ah, how I love these threads. Nothing's better than seeing a bunch of consolites hiding behind piracy speculations and guesswork, while forgetting a very important fact:
All main installments of the GTA franchise are availible on the PC, and ever since GTA 3, console versions would come out first, while the PC version was officially announced and released a few months after...
But hey, don't let facts get into the way. Please continue providing me with some amusement!

Yeah, true, I feel the same, but even if they don't acknowledge it, I'm not worried...
The only thing that bothers me is the quality of the port when it happens, but after Max Payne 3, I'm hopeful we'll see something done right. That petition may help too, 100,000+ is no easy feat for most Internet petitions, maybe that'll tell R* there's a signifficant demand for the game on the PC, and push them to put some real effort into it!

Rockstar said they will release if they have an interested market. Currently a petition floating around with 100k sigs. I don't know if Rockstar devs are being @ssholes and want PC gamers to beg or if they are genuinely concerned about turning a profit on the platform

If Rockstar were worried about PC piracy
1. They wouldn't of released DLC for GTA.
2. They wouldn't of released LA,Norie
3. They wouldn't of released Max Payne 3 and put alot of effort into the port.

Pretty much my thoughts on the situation.
PC is really the only way to get a quality looking and performing game these days, and I'm sure it'll come out after the console release. It will also blow consoles out of the water, as always.

I guess consolites may as well use this as ownage for now seen as no PC version was actually confirmed.
Even though we all know it will arrive a few months later anyway

GTA is a game every single gamer wants. Piracy will be teh big pirate boat with this one. I think they'll release it eventually though, PC is a big market for GTA.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
