PC gamers have been
loudly crossing their fingers for a PC outing for Rockstar's forthcoming GTA V. In the past, the series has usually made its way to the desktop platform, though often much later than its console counterparts, leaving many a PC gamer out in the cold. Moreover, given the smash hit Red Dead Redemption has not (and most likely will not) seen the light of day on PC, it's understandable PC peeps would be a tad worried about GTA V.
Thankfully Nvidia has actually let slip that a PC version of the game is coming, and rather than a bit later than console, it's alleged it'll be landing alongside the console release in our Spring (September 17).
"Gamers are preparing their systems for a strong roster of games coming this fall, including blockbuster franchises such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Assassin's Creed 4," said Nvidia's Chris Evenden during an earnings call (transcribed by
Seeking Alpha).
Make of the slip what you will, but Nvidia does usually work closely with publishers and developers where PC releases are concerned and Rockstar has always been transparent about getting the most out of anything they actually do release on PC, so this sounds pretty good to us.
So, are you excited or just cautiously optimistic?

For me at least, after reading that I wont be pre-ordering and will be holding off buying it. Hopefully the PC version will be cheaper too, console games have been rather pricey.
60FPS here we come.

Nah, they'll still get their double dip when they release an enhanced version for the next gen consoles.

Yep.
I reckon there will be inevitable delays and it will be pushed back, maybe to xmas 2013 if they wanna try to jump on xmas sales.
