Intel expecting GTAV on PC

Director of marketing says "I don't think it'll be console-exclusive very long," believes initial console exclusivity for Halo hurt the brand overall.

According to a representative for PC chip maker Intel, it is not a question of if Grand Theft Auto V will be released on PC, but when. Director of marketing for Intel's Premium Notebooks Chris R. Silva told PC Gamer that the open-world game won't remain a console-exclusive for much longer.

"At least with Grand Theft Auto, I don't think it'll be console-exclusive very long. But that's what happens when you have a brand new launch with two companies that have lots of money trying to make sure they have content."

The reason Rockstar Games has not announced GTAV for PC, according to Silva, is because "Somebody paid a lot of money to make sure that title was exclusive."

The PC iteration of Grand Theft Auto IV launched about eight months after the console versions shipped in April 2008. Nearly 600,000 people have signed an online petition calling on Rockstar Games to release GTAV on PC.

GTAV launched last month and has generated more than $1 billion to date. Its multiplayer mode--Grand Theft Auto Online--was released on October 1.

Also in the interview, Silva said Microsoft's decision to launch the Halo series as a console-exclusive, with ports of the original and Halo 2 coming later, "hurt" the brand overall. No Halo game has been released on PC since Halo 2.

@vrasidastd .Except you will have about 10x more pirated copies on PC rather than Console because pirating PC games is 10x easier!

@Lu_Shen @Grenadeh @vrasidastd A slide card? Are you on crack? You didn't need a slide card, there were soft mods. Replace the hard drive, took no effort whatsoever. We did it to all our PS2s back in the day.

@vrasidastd @Lu_Shen Not nearly as easy as PC... All you need is a mouse and the internet which 99% of the worlds population has. I don't have to go shopping for a mod chip or fool with a soldering iron.

Are you referring to the torrent that was found out to be actually GT5 (Gran Turismo)?

Why would you pirate the game? If anything, wait until it's 75% off on steam with all the dlc. Kids these days.

@Zazabar11 That's what all PC gamers do...Reason why Valve is worth billions as a company publishing games mainly on PC.

Why would you say that?That's what all we do right? We just steal games ,we don't buy shit.But Valve,EA and Ubisoft seem to magically make dough.

I'm a financial economist and i'm lost....

Every single GTA game was only around $14 or $15, including IV and the episodes. Even without a job, these are easily affordable.

It won't be on console anymore more though.X86 PC architecture something hackers know like the back of their hands.Piracy on console this new generation is going to be off the hook.MS wasn't hellbent on their 24h checks up for nothing.

We are going to finally see how pious you guys are.
