Grand Theft Auto V Scheduled for Spring 2013

anybody else think that looks like pornstar alexis texas?

That's pretty much as non-news as it gets.

Well, at least it's official.

No PC announcement is just embarrassing these days, really. (as is not announcing it for more platforms)

Yes, yes we are.

Yes. PEEVED!

All that peevishness!

I love the GTA franchise, and even though it's going to be an agonising wait, I'll definitely wait for the PC version. I just won't be able to enjoy it on the PS3. GTA IV was one of the main reasons a bought a PS3, but I wasn't impressed with the graphics, even by 2008 standards. I played The Lost and damned on the PS3 as well, but switched to PC for The ballad of Gay Tony, and it's so much better.

I love these games so much I'm currently replaying the entire GTA IV saga on the PC. If GTA V for the PC takes long enough, I might even play through GTA IV a third time. If for some strange reason GTA V never appears on the PC, I will never buy a Rockstar game again!

It's really interesting to see so many huge releases piling up on spring 2013. I hope the looming next-gen wont effect the quality of these releases if publishers feel the need to rush these out before E3.

Heh.

I NEED THIS GAME. (I like the fake apple logo)

Don't care about GTA anymore. IV was disappointing on an extraordinary level while Saints Row the Third not only rose to the challenge but soared above anything GTA had ever previously accomplished.

This is cool, I guess. Never really been a fan of GTA.

Doubt we will. Apparently the game is such an insane coding mess that it would be easier to simply make a new game than make sense of its guts. Sure, it sounds like an excuse, but considering the game's complicated production and Rockstar's track record with leaving shit in the files, it's probably true.

The chick in the image looks a bit like Malin Akerman.

Is that Mandy Moore?

I'm sure this will come to PC it's to big of a game not to steam sales alone is a huge profit not to mention retail too and if it doesn't I'm not buying a console for one game as much as I love the GTA series. I can wait for the PC version it just will be painful if it's a 6 month wait I hope it releases like Max Payne 3 time frame.

Oh man, oh man, oh man, I am so ready for this.

Likely Spring will quickly be narrowed down to Mid May very soon. [My guess would be May 21st.] Same as most of the recent Rockstar Games have been. They like owning May.

Hopefully they do a true PC port. Maybe even surprise us with a Red Dead pack in for preorders [wishful thinking]

I really, really hope they don't skip over the PC for this game.

They will and have. All of the leaked fliers only had 360 and PS3 logos on them.

Really? A rock star game in the spring!

cant wait

My body is ready.

...sooo readyy

Called it. Wubwub

@Mr_Skeleton: Her face is much more detailed than her body.

It's like they drew a body and then inserted a human face that has gone through a 'cell-shady'* filter.

*Don't know shit about graphic design jargon.

Hehehe, iFruit... im sure the pc version will show up 3 to 6 months later though.. like GTA IV

I hope this doesn't get delayed, otherwise it'll be released about the same time as my new son, and I'll have to pick one over the other.

I hope PC comes out same time otherwise I have to......buy console version and hate you for it.

what... pattern? I don't know what pattern you are talking about scoops they've always come out later than the console version, going back to vice city.

So GTA V some time next year. Yeah didn't see that coming

shameless Apple product placement?

If you zoom, in, the apple logo has been replaced with... a bowl of fruit? Something tenuously fruity, anyway.

Seems strange to literally copy the iPhone design, though. Rockstar's brand of 'satire' has always been hit or miss.

(Coming from a huge GTA fan)

We don't talk about Rockstar PC ports until we finally get Red Dead.

I really, really hope they don't skip over the PC for this game.

shameless Apple product placement?

Boom

Her body looks ready, too. ;)

There is something very creepy about that girl.

My body is ready.

Even as this generation begins to draw to a close, there are several major games on the horizon, including Grand Theft Auto V. Rockstar Games has confirmed its sequel will release next spring.

Well, “expected to launch” in spring 2013. That’s the language Rockstar Games used on its website, and as a company known for delaying games until they’re good and ready, it’s not surprising.

More information on GTAV should be available soon, as it’s supposed to be on the next cover on Game Informer, and one would expect that to begin the game’s official marketing campaign.

Today's announcement only mentions Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and nothing about a PC release. Grand Theft Auto IV was released for the PC, though, as was Max Payne 3 and L.A. Noire. People are still peeved about Red Dead Redemption not getting a PC release.
