No PC Version of GTA V At Launch: Rockstar
Our suspicions from a pre-order poster leak earlier this week are confirmed, there won't be a PC version of GTA V any time soon. The Spring 2013 launch date given by Rockstar only includes versions for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 platforms. Pre-orders for the game will begin next week, starting Monday. When Rockstar posted its pre-order announcement, everyone in the comments section had one question on their minds - will there be a PC version? This prompted Rockstar to respond in a comment, and not update the actual news article (adding insult to injury), that there won't be a PC version any time soon.

Hey guys, glad to see so much enthusiasm about the release announcement. For those asking about the PC platform, we're currently focused on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game and don't have any details to share about a PC version at this time. Anyone that continues to spam the comments section will have their commenting privileges suspended.

If this is anything like it I may just have to get an XBOX 360 : /
Besides I still have not played Red Dead Redemption and have fond memories of Red Dead Revolver.
I learned to never EVER ask were people bought anything or how they made their money.
the boardwalk in the cover photo is now washed out to sea..,..
so GTA 5 will also be a steaming pile.
Or Red Dead Redemption on console... it looks and plays (30fps+ mostly) fantastic, as opposed to the 20-25fps GTA IV was on console, that looked like garbled-up vomit.
So, in essence, they've done a lot to optimize and enhance the engine, as well as make it more PC-friendly (AA, DX11, better scalability etc), so to say... Of course, the "port" (is it one?) itself, could still suck... And it still remains, as Max Payne 3 shows... one of the most VRAM-hungry engines out there... which I always foudn weird, considering the very limited/shared memory pools consoles have, at least this (sooo moldy) generation.
