Will GTA V For PC Be

[vcfan]

After years of anticipation, the long-awaited PC version of GTA V could soon be cancelled, according to a Rockstar employee.

 

Brad Cockingham works as a Marketing director for Rockstar North and is also the founder of his own marketing firm called ?Rantic?, which was created following the historic launch of GTA V.

 

On Rantic?s official website, Brad expresses concern about the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V being cancelled.

 

On Thursday, we sat down with one of the marketing directors of Rantic, to talk about Rockstar North?s future for the Grand Theft Auto series.

 

During the interview, Rantic Chairman John Hoffberger, stated that the PC version of GTA 5 could soon be cancelled due to ?corporate problems?. ?The next-gen console launch dates are still intact, but the PC game launch has been agitating for Rockstar staff?, John said.

 

John also stated,?Rockstar never wanted to release a PC version of GTA V, but due to high public demand, they were forced to do so.?

Forced too?  Seriously?  And then they fail anyway?        What an excuse.

Am I missing something because I don't see any indication that it's not going to happen.

 

If anything, it's confirmation that it is going to happen. I highly doubt that even if they're "agitated", they'd just up and quit halfway through. Doesn't make sense.

I'd take this with much more than a grain of salt. Sounds like a ridiculous clickbait rumor to me, why would they announce it and create a bunch of hype just to cancel it shortly after? That would be a truly idiotic decision.

They should probably update their website. It still says:

Developed by series creators Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V is available worldwide for Xbox 360? and PlayStation?3, and coming this fall to PlayStation?4, Xbox One and PC.

Don't trust anybody with the last name of Cockingham!

[ensiform]

The fact that http://store.steampowered.com/app/271590/ exists suggests that its still going to happen.  They don't make steam pages unless its well enough.

No.

 

Rockstar : Remember your roots.

Rockstar : Remember your roots.

 

I don't understand why people think the "roots" matter. it's a video game, they'll release it where there is an audience to buy it, not because they have "roots" there.

 

 

Anyway I do not believe this rumour at all. I can't imagine they'll cancel it. Whether it's a good port or not is anybodys guess.

Seems like a publicity stunt to get people to visit that guys website.

 

On Rantic?s official website, Brad expresses concern about the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V being cancelled.

 

After the video that was released a few months ago Rockstar stands to make a lot of money with a GTA:V release. There's no way they're not going to make it.

Looks like the "Rantic" website got hacked?:

Who the hell is John Hoffberger?  Does he work at Rockstar?  I think the title is misleading.  According to posting, Hoffberger is the one who made the statement and he works for Rantic which was founded by someone who works for Rockstar (I question the validity of this, but I don't really care to look further).  Is Rantic owned by Rockstar?

[Melfster]

Its BS since both console versions are ported from a PC master copy.

reading is hard?

Forced to? This is business you chase money.

Exactly.

 

I think people wanted a Red Dead PC port but R* never made one.

[Skiver Veteran]

Am I the only one thinking that if this game is supposed to be released "fall 2014" that it's a little late to cancel, i mean we are literally a few days away from the fall as it is! I would have imagined this thing was probably pretty much done and dusted now and is going through some form of QA.

BLASPHEMY !

?The next-gen console launch dates are still intact

 

Seems like an old article, probably just (re)released for clicks.

A Rockstar employee posting something on their own website does not equal Rockstar announcing they aren't doing it. 

 

We are too close to Fall for them not to have already announced a port to PC won't happen.  Additionally, they already spent millions on PC development, so I don't see them not releasing to PC. 

[HawkMan]

Depends, if they mean economic fall, it's basically xmas time...

[DeltaXray]

Exactly why there's talk of ditching the PC version...

Exactly why there's talk of ditching the PC version...

Why, considering PC's are outselling console games? If they're chasing money, you'd probably want to make sure to include the biggest group of customers.

Well Rockstar just lost 60 USD. Their loss.
