As always with these retail leaks we need to take them all with a pinch of salt but a European online retailer has possibly leaked the release date for the next gen versions of Grand Theft Auto V.
PCFormat are reporting that retailer Coolshop are now taking pre-orders for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V with an expected release date of the 14th of November.
This could easily have been a placeholder date but what makes it seem more likely now is that if you head to the same site now you will see they’ve updated the listing and given it a 31st of December release date.
People are also pointing out that the 14th is a Friday and saying that games are normally released on a Tuesday. However if you’re not American you would also know that Friday is actually the normal release day across the planet so this actually points more towards this being a correct release date I‘m personally looking forward to seeing how well the game runs on a top end PC and could possibly play through it again but definitely not this year. October and November are hectic enough already without throwing in another massive title.
However for those who have been holding out for the PC version this is good news for you. Christmas holidays are now sorted and you can finally understand the insanity that is Trevor’s mind.

Cracked on the 15th.
(Sorry, I don’t support piracy and I’m proudly pc, but someone had to say this)

To be honest I’ve lost interest in GTAV.

To be honest, get interested again. It’s very much worth a play.

Seriously, they’ll have it way more revamped than before, I can’t even remember the last time I came across gang members jacking a “brinks” truck, only to take the cash off them once the cops killed them. Just random encounter events like that will be handled far better with the 8-core processors and x86 architecture. The modding capabilities for PC are potentially outstanding, especially with Steam’s Workshop utility and Nexus. I’ve poured hours into the crappy 720p 25fps PS3 version and am personally ecstatic for the 1080p 60fps+ potential with denser environment, wildlife, vehicle count, and you won’t turn around 360 degrees to find the pile of cars your just created magically disappeared. The game will work the way it’s supposed to!

May pick up the Saints Row 4: Game of the Century Edition though…. It’s the base game and pretty much ALL of the DLC… so that’s kinda kewl…

The nice thing is that rockstar releases very solid games on release. With the exception of GTA Online for the first few months, but there wasn’t anything really wrong with the single player. Their stocks didn’t work out like they hoped, but that was pretty ambitious, and not entirely off of the tables. They can basically patch the game and make any change they want, which is terrific.

I’m not too excited about GTA V anymore. They took too long to do this, now most of the hype is over.

I’m interested to see how much it does sell on PC. Suspect a lot of people bought it on console already when it wasn’t released on PC earlier. Also suspect that when it doesn’t break sales records we’ll have all the typical PC games are dead nonsense.

GTA IV is getting on the older side now. After you’ve played Sleeping Dogs or even Saints Row the Third it’s going to look and feel quite ancient.

It still Feels quite good to play honestly, the only problem I have is the Horrendous Driving Physics… Keyboard driving is whack… The braking feels SO ineffective… Should try to find a mod…

I played it a few weeks ago and it felt very old to me, seeing as I played Sleeping Dogs a few months before, which is obviously way slicker and (in my opinion at least) a better game.
