A PC version of Grand Theft Auto V has been spotted in retailer listings in Germany.
The game has only officially been confirmed for Xbox 360 and PS3.
No release date is offered, but the listings suggest that Rockstar may stick with its historical trend of releasing a PC version of its GTA games in the several months following a console debut.
GTA IV was released on consoles in April 2008, followed by a PC version in December that same year.
Likewise, GTA III hit PS2 in October 2001, and later arrived on PC in May 2002 - a pattern which remained consistent for the follow-up releases of GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas.
The Games Only listing titles the game as an 'Uncut Edition' which it claimed would include bonus items before details of said items were removed, according to reports. Prior to the alleged edits, the listing apparently detailed items such as an art book, world map, new stunt plane challenges, bonus outfits, exclusive weapons and more.
CVG recently visited Rockstar to see the game in action, and delivered an in-depth Grand Theft Auto V preview, along with new screenshots and impressions.
Rockstar also released a new Grand Theft Auto V trailer, profiling the game's three main protagonists.
In January, Rockstar delayed the Grand Theft Auto 5 release date from spring 2013 to September 17.

That GfWL bit had better be fake or I'm gonna blow my top.

Oh come on already Rockstar confirm it please. I've got my ps3 version pre ordered for only £30 but rather get it on PC after hearing previews about it's horrible graphics.

It will likely be terrific on PS3 and Xbox - Imagine how amazing it would look on PS4, Xbox 3 or PC. I hope this is true.

It's also been made available at the Amazon UK store... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Grand-Theft-Auto-PC-DVD/dp/B0062KJ256/ref=sr_1_2?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1367871413&sr=1-2&keywords=grand+theft+auto+v

Shocking news.
Did they eventually release Red Dead on PC or did it never happen?
Noobsaibot on 6 May '13 said:
I dont think so. However, RDR was arguably a risky proposition when first announced. Having said that, it went on to be a dramatic success and still didn't reach PC...

Anyone got a link about these horrible graphics? Be a shame if the game does look horrible. Can't see how it could look s**t loads worse than GTA 4 though

IGN and Polygon previews mentioned that the game (on PS3) can look rough at times in regards to low res textures and pop in, IGN said it looked great most of the time though.

The PC version was guaranteed anyway, there was never a doubt that would happen.
I'm all for a Wii U version though. I know it's more than likely not going to happen, but until that's confirmed by Rockstar, I'm still hoping.
Let me predict a few reply quotes from the negative few on here who just love Nintendo.
"Der wunt bee a WEE YU Verision cus Nindento iz tu kiddeez und not profita roll enuf to fund won"
"Ha, LOL. I'd lose my virginity quicker than the Wii U getting GTAV. LOL AT THE MALL"
"Nintendo will burn, Burn, BURN"
"Just buy a PS3"

Saying that the Wii-U stands next to no chance of a version of GTA 5 isn't being negative, it's being sensible. Let's be honest, Nintendo hardly have the right market for GTA, the only way it'll happen is if Nintendo has paid the costs of the port. Customer base is far too small for Rockstar to make big cash.
Barca Azul on 6 May '13 said:
It will come on PC sooner or later for sure.
DiamondDogs on 6 May '13 said:
No, I mean the trolls. Not the sensible users on here such as yourself. I don't agree with "The right market for GTA" though. There's a market for anything on Wii U, if given the chance. Reggie was very vocal about wanting GTA to come to the Wii U, so they might pay for the port? Or maybe not. And Rockstar never flat out said No, or refused to comment on it. They said "up for consideration", which of course doesn't mean it will come to the Wii U, but certainly doesn't mean it won't.There was a rumour that GTA V was up and running on a Wii U dev kit, so who knows. Even though Battlefield 4 was as well but still not coming out. I can hope, right?

The IGN article of the ps3 version of the game:
I don't know about you but i think graphics are important in a gta game my biggest gripe was that the 360 version was it's permenant slow motion and low resolution, and with gta 5 also being 30fps and less than 720p resolution. it's going to lose some of it sparkle

Well I didn't see this coming!

Defensive much?
DiamondDogs on 7 May '13 said:
Nope.
Skullet on 7 May '13 said:
Why are you launching a Wii U defence in a thread where no one is even talking about the Wii U?
DiamondDogs on 7 May '13 said:
No I'm not.
I am.

Ich liebe dick!
Skullet on 7 May '13 said:
Are we going to get a pantomime style "oh yes you are" and "oh no I wasn't" thing going here? Your first post seemed a little defensive considering no one besides you was talking about the Wii U....in a thread about the PC no less, and people say the PC crowd are a defensive bunch.
DiamondDogs on 7 May '13 said:
What "seemed" and what "is" are two very different things.
In a thread about GTA V on the PC, you mean. And of course I brought up the Wii U, it is the only computer left to be announced to get GTA V or not get it.
If you took my comments serious about the example replies I'd get, then I can't help you. Good day.
StonecoldMC on 7 May '13 said:
This is the first that Ive heard that GTA V is graphically unimpressive or shoddy.
Listened to the latest CVG GTAVo'clock last week and they seemed pretty impressed with what they saw, what with the game being demoed on the PS3.
If anyone is going into GTA expecting Uncharted or Gears of War level of polish and refinement, then you my friend, are mental.
M.E.N.T.A.L
Skullet on 7 May '13 said:
As far as I'm aware it hasn't been officially announced for the PC either, it also hasn't been announced for the Amiga or the Megadrive but I don't see people feeling the need to defend those.
I didn't take your examples seriously, but the fact you felt the need to post them in a thread about a PC game hints at a certain amount of sensitivity in regards to the Wii U.
DiamondDogs on 7 May '13 said:
It's coming out for the PC. Regardless if it's "confirmed" or not, that's guaranteed. On time with the other releases or delayed it will be released on the PC.
That's a ridiculously dumb comparison.
*An article about GTAV on the PC. Again, I was defending nothing. Let's move forward amicably.
Welsh Jester on 7 May '13 said:
Same, it needs Steamworks.. then at least 64+ player online, scriptable/editable game modes like SA-MP. then it will be pretty much perfect.
IV's multiplayer is rubbish and boring in comparison to SA-MP mod, plus i hate GFWL.
I'll be surprised if R* makes the multiplayer as poor as IV this time around. Hard to believe a mod team can do a lot better than a "top developer" for multiplayer.
Skullet on 8 May '13 said:
I know know it'll be released on PC, regardless it still hasn't been officially announced.
And is my comparison any more ridiculous than your first post defending the Wii U from persons unknown? I think not.
