You're not serious? GTA4 sold twenty million copies, there won't be twenty million GTAV perspective owners on PS480 for three years.

What next gen? They won't be out until next fall if anything.

My point was not being on other platforms as well. I don't think their going to lose money by not being on other platforms and by not being on them they'll miss out on possible sales.
GTA IV sold 20 million copies over a number of years. GTAV won't sell close to that much on PS360 if the other new consoles are launched next year.
We shall see. SA sold far more than the other two, because it had the largest install base.
Adding additional SKUs is costly, it takes development focus away from original content. If adding a Wii U SKU adds 500k of sales, maybe they don't believe that's justified, and maybe they're right. Certainly making it for the next two would produce even less rewards.

I don't think it should be an 'all next gen' project, but no PC (more than WiiU) just seems silly at this point in the generation and with the grow of PC as a platform.
Xbox was hardly as big as it is now however and the PS2 went on to continue selling decently throughout the next gen. Ofc the next two big consoles might not be released till 2014. I just think not being on PC then having all the next-gen talk kicking off for the HD twins isn't the best way in.
Am not saying there going to those 10m sales or anything; but I don't see why at this point there isn't a PC release, and I'm also unsure why there is no WiiU release but I can understand their reasoning for not putting resources into that.
There will be a PC version.

Who're you trying to fool? There are now buyers on PC, only filthy pirates.

There seems to be enough reason to doubt the legitimacy of the image, but if it really is a fake, it's a very odd attempt.

Suppose game comes out end of may, next gen gets announced 2 3 weeks later. The latest buzz will be those news.
Yeah I can't see Rockstar not releasing a PC version, especially given that previous GTA games have been on PC.
But 4-6 months later.

Then if another next gen hits the market pre-Christmas...hype moving away just as the PC game is released.
So, I don't think that will affect GTA sales at all.

At this very moment I really don't care about PC for now. IV need it 16 patches in order to work at least how it should when it was released first time.
Take all your time R*. The trailer really shows how splendid the landspaces are so I don't want to wake up on every quarter with some unusual glitches and such.

I really hope the gap between console and PC release is closer to that of Max Payne rather than GTA4. If it's more than a couple months, I don't know if I'll be able to stop myself from getting the PS3 version.

I agree but people would still go back to playing their current games. I will be as excited as you but will want to hit that GTA free roam or whatever GTA5 has in store for us.
It's going to be an exciting time if anything else. New and high profile games will be all around us and the hype for Sony/MSFT's next console should be in full swing.
We need to get some clarity on the PC issue though. The logo isn't even there. I was hoping they would be good and at least not wait a half year to release the PC version considering they confirmed it soon after announcing the damn thing.
It could be that Rockstar knows they won't make as much money off PC (for many reason and even fear of piracy lol) as the console versions. I just don't want to have to wait 6 months to play what should be the superior version on day 1. I can't complain as I will have it on PS3 day 1 with a solid set of good friends from the last 6 years.
Like Red Dead Redemption, I doubt we will see a PC release full stop. It makes you question the credibility of the 'master race', when gaming's most important IP's are not releasing on the platform.
I really hope this game releases soon, with this and Bioshock both experiencing delays, it'll be nice to get one of them back.

Did GTA IV come out at the right date or was there delay ?

These posts make you question the credibility of the console peasants, where bad framerates, jaggies and crappy resolutions are viewed as a bonus for the quality of the game.
No, that actually does the opposite. What a disastrous post, you should be ashamed.
The spring 2013 begin on March 20,they could easily launch the game in late March,on March 22 for example.
On May,as you said, they would lose some buzz.March or April are better options than May imo.
Don't count on it. Boris was really mad R* botched his work with every patch they released for GTA 4.
It seems odd that there's no Wii U version. If I were a publisher, I would want my game to be everywhere it possibly could be. And so close to the release of a new Nintendo console would be the perfect opportunity to try and reach out to that audience.
Besides, how much could a port possibly cost? You know they're going to make their investments back and then some in the first 24 hours anyway.

Why would we not see a PC release exactly? Given that all previous GTA's have made their way to PC eventually? Read Dead Redemption was the 1st in a new series and a console exclusive. GTA is neither of these things.
There's no reason to think they intend to support the platform going forward, so the instilling a user base as a motive might be invalid.

It's not fake but of course here come the conspiracy theorists.
Delayed from Oct 07 to Apr 08.
I can understand that must have been frustrating back in the day, but the game hasn't been updated at all in over 18 months. Short of lacking the desire, there's nothing standing in the way of a new version of ENB GTAIV, and similarly, to avoid this situation repeating itself with GTAV, he ought to ignore the game until R*'s post-release support dies off.

Of course there are, Steam and Origin sales would back this up. Most pirates are young kids who can't afford to buy the games in the first place, but that applies to Xbox 360, PS3, Wii not just PC.

How did you arrive at that conclusion? It seems a very likely fake: If such displays are indeed being shipped to stores, why do we only know about this single instance? Plenty of people could (sloppily) design and print a poster like that - plotters are standard in many fields of work and are available for use in print-shops as well.
And let's not forget about the strange alignment and repeated artwork.
I suspect that this is what will happen.
It's going to be quite disappointing if there won't be any PC version for GTA5, considering how competent the PC port of Max Payne 3 was(dat FXAA implementation) compared to the work they've put into porting GTA4. But even if they decide to release it with a delay, I'll try the console version first for sure. GTA4 was the only reason why I bought a 360 back in may 2008 when the game was released and since then the thing is collecting dust under my desk, about time to put it to some good use again.

No, unless he meant not instead of now.

Pretty sure they'll release ports on next-gen too, simply because if they make more DLC they'll want it to be available to all consoles.

I think you are overestimating the sales of Chinatown Wars.

Because it will obviously be the year of the PS3.
Hopefully this is going out with a bang, and not a bunch of games being pushed out the door before those platforms are no longer viable.

Wow wow wow. Is that Black 2?? Like a sequel to the PS2 first person shooter Black??
That game was great.

What were are looking at is a print proof not a complete promotional poster or similar. I don't think it's for in-store use probably for some show due soon. It's far too early for retail promotion.
I have related experience of this.

Not sure why anyone would even want a wii u version. None of you even have the damn system. It's not like you're losing on your investment, lol.
Did a PC happen to kick your dog or something? I've noticed you've been posting flamebait anti-PC things over at Reddit as well, unless someone else named 'Conor' hates the platform as much as you do.
Regardless Rockstar has been a console developer for well over a decade now, a late port is in-line with what they have been doing since 2002. Your mentioning of credibility makes absolutely no sense outside of ruffling feathers.
