Grand Theft Auto V in Spring

[Oct 30, 2012, 6:06 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Rockstar Games announces a spring 2013 release window for the console editions of Grand Theft Auto V, the next installment in the open-world action sequel (thanks nin). A Windows version is not mentioned at this time. Word is:

Today, we're proud to announce that Grand Theft Auto V is expected to launch worldwide spring 2013 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V takes place in a re-imagined, present-day Southern California in the largest and most thriving game-world we have ever created set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and for miles beyond – from the tops of the mountains to the depths of the ocean.

Starting next week November 5, 2012, Grand Theft Auto V will become available for pre-order everywhere and fans can expect a host of new information to become available in November.

I completely agree. I thought GTA4 was horrible. The only reason I got through it was the extensive number of mods I was able to apply to the game to fix the driving physics and textures.

I've bought every previous version of GTA but I have zero interest in GTAV. As I've already said, Watchdogs looks great and they announced the PC version right off the bat. GTA just isn't a relevant series any more. It's said that GTA5 is the Swan Song of the current consoles. I at least hope GTA6 is not on Xbox 360 and PS3, but instead should be on Xbox 720, PS4 and PC.

It doesn't do anything that makes it 'console exclusive'...really, it's just a wild-west GTA, almost to a tee...I think some of you guys get your knickers in a bunch on purpose...like instead of coffee or that line of coke, you come on here and bitch to get your blood flowin'...hey, whatever floats your boat, buddy... =-Rigs-= The thing about RDR is that it's such a great game, and it just SCREAMS for more power. It looks beautiful, but everything is low-res and kinda blurry. On the PC, the wild west could look amazing. Shooting is fun on the consoles, but how awesome could the gunslingers be with the m/kb combo? I would have gladly forked over another 60 bucks for a PC version... They probably guess it would cost so much money to build high-res versions of all the artwork that they'd never recoup the costs. (And let's be honest, how many copies would a PC version of RDR sell? A million? That's not a lot of cash for a place like rockstar.) ANYWAY, yes, there will be a GTA5 on the PC eventually. I'll wait for that one. When I said I'll skip it I meant I'll skip it for the consoles. creston

Doesn't anyone remember that this is exactly how Rockstar handled every GTA game for the last 11 years? It would be cool if Rockstar North started giving the PC a higher priority, or stopped being secretive about their PC plans, but their formula has been so obscenely successful I think they're loath to mess with it.

Just for laughs, next time there is about to be a Halo game released, pop on over to the Xbox forums and post that it's a Windows 8 exclusive, no ETA on an Xbox version. Please be sure to remind them how Windows is actually an important part of the Xbox ecosystem according to Microsoft and that they are just missing out by not buying it for the PC.

We'll see how understanding and patient people are on all sides

I game at 2560x1600 at 60fps and consoles can't even come close to that. Yeah. This isn't about us being snobs to consoles. I don't want a console version because I don't want the shitty graphics, slow load times, unprecise aiming and the closed platform. I mean, it's just better on PC, not because of opinion. This annoys me so much, that I simply don't play games on consoles. Not because I'm mad at them, not because I want to protest, but simply because I can't stand these basic issues.

Yes, but the Nazis had a secret crash program to do so! The Fuhrer was bored in the bunker and wanted to "pwn some hebes" in a game that was eerily similar to Wolfenstein except the Nazis were the good guys!

Blue's got no power and still manages to get in a tiny bit of news. That's why none of us mind this kind of thing.

I think I'm going to skip it, to be honest. I only have a PS3 anymore, and the PS3 already couldn't run GTA4 decently. With the videos shown, I seriously seriously doubt it'd do even a marginally decent job with GTA5.

And I refuse to buy another 360.

Yep, same here. Whatever Microsoft is making next gen is a no-go for me, they really burned through all of my good will that they built up during the first few years. Rockstar games typically run like butt on consoles so unless there is a PC version, I think I'll just skip it. I made an exception for RDR and ended up thinking how much better it would look and control on the PC the entire time.
