GTA 5 not cancelled for PC, says Rockstar

Despite rumors, Grand Theft Auto 5 has not been cancelled for PC. Rockstar Games reaffirmed that the PC version, as well as the Xbox One and PS4 editions, are still on the way, due out in fall 2014.

Responding to fans curious as to the possible cancellation of GTA 5 for PC, a Rockstar Games support rep assured the PC version is still in the works and that the release date "has not changed."

"I'm also looking forward to the PC release, however this release date has not changed," the rep said, directing concerned fans to the official support article regarding release dates for all three versions. As expected, the article still states a fall 2014 release for GTA 5 on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Rumors of the cancellation first spawned last week when Fox Weekly reported on an interview with Rockstar's supposed marketing director. The website claimed that the PC version could be cancelled due to "corporate problem," adding that Rockstar "never wanted" to release a PC version.

GTA V for PC May Be Cancelled

Grand Theft Auto V might not make it to PC after all as according to a certain Brad – Rockstar North employee and founder of marketing firm Rantic – the company is planning to cancel the PC version of the game.

According to Brad, who claims to be a marketing director for Rockstar North, during a recent discussion Rantic Chairman John Hoffberger stated that the PC version of the game could soon be cancelled owing to ‘corporate problems. The interview excerpts popped up on Rantic’s site[currently down because of a hack].

Hoffberger said that the company was never willing to go for a PC version of the game but had to build it anyway to meet with high consumer demand. However, the project will soon be culled.

“The next-gen console launch dates are still intact, but the PC game launch has been agitating for Rockstar staff,” John said.

It seems that Rockstar has apparently delayed the launch of GTA V for PS4, Xbox One and PC till 2015. However, if we are to believe Brad’s claims, then we might never see a PC version 

Grand Theft Auto: Madrid Teased in Live Action Fan-Made Trailer

Grand Theft Auto: Madrid, huh? Sounds exotic! If only it were as real as the people in this amazing and dead accurate fan parody created in live-action.

Zapruder Pictures, based in Madrid, Spain, have used their city as the backdrop for their recreation of the Grand Theft Auto V announcement trailer. Frame for frame, this is dead on accurate with very little help from CG or other tricks.

I mean, yeah, they made a CG jet, but where are they going to find a real one? And who’s gonna fly it kid, you?

Why just a fan made project? Watching this trailer makes the obvious about the real series so much more noticeable: Grand Theft Auto needs to move beyond the borders of North America. There are so many other fascinating cities in the world which could provide gorgeous architecture and very unique crime worlds. London, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Stockholm, Johannesburg, Mexico City. Take your pick.

We went to London in an extremely early GTA; why not again?

We’re waiting, Rockstar North. I’d even settle for Edinburgh! You can’ find a game setting in this lovely place? 

Celebrate your European heritage with a Grand Theft Auto straight from your own continent. I’m more than willing to bite.
