GTA V Release Date leaks and then leaks again

I think it was roughly a month ago that on Amzon the the first release date of GTA V appeared, after which it was quickly removed. However, it happened again. According to Amazon, GTA V will be released on March 26th 2013 which is on target with a spring launch. Keep in mind though that this has not been officially confirmed, it's merely a date that was listed on Amazon's website, but it's pretty much the only solid date gamers have received thus far. It's interesting to note that this information has been taken off Amazon's GTA V page.

Now this could be due to two possibilities: either that the release date was right on the spot or that it was completely wrong.

There however are captured a screenshots of an e-mail sent out to everyone who pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto V at Amazon, showing the proposed release date. The PC version is still scheduled a few month later.

Nice, were looking at a few months to the release of the game!

Sadly the pc version of the game is likely to come out several months after...

+1 But I'm sure after 4 years as of now(GTA4 Dec/08) they have learned and hopefully all the advancements in Technology will help it too.. Although bad port will be a bad port.

GTA San Andreas Gameplay + GTA IV Graphics = GTA V

The PC version of Max Payne 3 was fantastic. They really made a lot of improvements on the PC version of RAGE.

If the PC version of GTA V runs as well (and looks as good) as the PC version of Max Payne 3 then I think it will go well.

I really hope that Rockstar will take care about the PC version this time. GTA IV was a disaster though a great game. I bought Max Payne 3 on the release but was only able to play it only a few months ago with the last update. Me and 2 of my mates have bought the game but none of us could play due to numerous faults.Mates got lucky and could play after 3 or 4 months as their update finally fixed theirs game, but I spent hours sending emails to Rockstar support, reinstaling my system and of course downloading 25+GB with no results.I hate consoles so much after this experience and for the fact that they are holding up PC graphics..

Don't we all! However, Rockstar did a pretty good job with Max Payne 3. It's quite well optimized even with NO patches...

I completed the entire game from start to finish with ZERO problems & ZERO lag.

I got an average of 77 fps & the highest of 117 fps, cannot complain here...

With regards to GTA IV. It WAS & still IS a disaster & runs like cr@p.

Hopefully Rockstar will learn from their previous mistake & make a proper port which runs as it should.

At least make SLI/Crossfire compatible!

Don't know what everyone's crying about. I run GTA IV maxed out @ 1080p and it's beautiful and really smooth. If you haven't got the hardware to run it, you haven't got the hardware to run it. Deal with it.

Runs like a complete dog on my setup. I suppose we might have a different definition of "smooth".
