I find this claim to be HIGHLY dubious.

Sounds like spurious information to me. Why cancel the PC version?

Its like passing on free money. Not to mention, it would be betraying one of their core audiences.

 

[Hip Hop]

You know what would suck though?

If for some reason the PC version gets the 360/PS3 version ala Tomb Raider Definite Edition.

 

[Slowdive]

Wow if true. I doubt it though.

 

[Phediuk]

If this is true I guess Rockstar just doesn't want more money.

 

[Cess007]

What's the joke with the name people seem to be hinting at?

Cockingham and Rantic = Cock / Rant. Makes source sounds fake as hell

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

New page madness without reading: GO!

Spoiler for those that don't read:

Spoiler

Fox Weekly to be soon replaced with *********

 

[shacklesmcgee]

I'm with you. I find the OP suspicious personally but that ain't my problem.

Yeah, the only thing I can see is if OP though it was Fox News, not Fox Weekly. But it's blatant looking at the site, they have two articles in August, one in June....it's not a real site. Their #NOW tag only has articles from May, c'mon

 

[Corpekata]

Cockingham and Rantic = Cock / Rant. Sounds fake as hell

Oh. Thought it was something more.

 

[CambriaRising]

This sounds like so much bullshit.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Wow if true.

Yeah wow, if not Beel Gaets over rantic.com have a lot to answer for.

 

[LongDongJunon]

HOLY shit this thread got big quick!

also I love this in this context.

 

[Qassim]

I don't think this is true.

Rockstar have always disliked PC ports, optimisation for a platform with so many variables has been mentioned as a big issue.

Yet they released one of the best PC ports of anyone in the form of Max Payne 3.

 

[shem935]

Haha nope.

 

[iNvid02]

i refuse to believe this

we're at a point now where "PC version announced" is the headline

 

[Mass Effect]

I see little reason to believe this rumor.

 

[GhostTrick]

Haha, I can't believe some people are willing to give credit to that site
I mean, people could start to panic if it was at least a serious site with a good record.

 

[OverBlood 3]

An update from Cellog Kornflaik. He's saying that Witcher 3 is also not coming out on PC.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Nah seriously doubt that

 

[AmaterasuOni]

It's total bullshit.

 

[Eusis]

I don't think this is true.



Yet they released one of the best PC ports of anyone in the form of Max Payne 3.

The current state of PC also allows for a lot of reliable long tail sales and I have to imagine it's easier relative to the past, especially the mid 90s when we had multiple competing APIs before it cooled down to basically OpenGL vs DirectX then basically just DirectX.

 

[prudislav]

This is starting to be really hilarious . First there is "speculation circle" through all game websites linking each others started out of thin air(gamecom absence) and now this crap from unknown site which will spread simiralry

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

It's like a marketing ploy by Rockstar.

my exact thoughts lol

 

[thehillissilent]

This thread should probably be locked since the source is not credible. All this is going to do is get people pissed off and naysayer stating that Rockstar don't care about PC gamers, etc.

 

[CountAntonius]

First no RDR port and now this. Considering how well GTA IV did on PC if this is true they are on my shortlist.

 

[link4117]

Agreed. The circle jerk games media does is really stupid at this point.

 

[BPoole]

I will contain my anger until there is actual proof

 

[Fantastapotamus]

For a marketing firm, "Rantic" sure does a good job hidding itself from a simple google search

 

[Indiedevs]

How did this thread get this big so fast?

 

[OverBlood 3]

Mr. Kadburries Parut says 'HELLO!' in relation to the release of Rise of the Tomb Raider on the ZX Spectrum.

 

[Gangxxter]

Everybody calm down, don't believe this trash site.

 

[Skyzard]

I can imagine they'd delay it to maximize next-gen sales (plus piracy) and make PC wait some more ffs.

 

[shem935]

How did this thread get this big so fast?

It's only five pages. Have you been in a conference thread? That shit is lightning.

 

[The Cowboy]

Soon: PC version of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain cancelled by Konami

Don't even joke about such things, this is not right at all .

 

[RandyBobandy]

Haha, no way. Why would they do this?

 

[SparkTR]

This is either bullshit or Rockstar is an incompetent game developer. Seriously, they only announced the PC version two months ago, if there are actually issues they would have been accounted for months before even thinking about an announcement, that's a basic aspect of game development. Nothing this serious could have popped up in these two months after announcement that they wouldn't have known about the five before that.

 

[Kacho]

Yeah, the only thing I can see is if OP though it was Fox News, not Fox Weekly. But it's blatant looking at the site, they have two articles in August, one in June....it's not a real site. Their #NOW tag only has articles from May, c'mon

Yup. Plus OP hasn't posted anything else.

 

[Qassim]

The reason why I give almost no credit to the site is because of this:

Rockstar recently announced GTA V for next-gen and PC will be delayed until 2015.

They didn't announce this at all.

 

[darkside31337]

How did this thread get this big so fast?

Complete silence from Rockstar on a release that at most would be 2 months out if its not getting delayed has people shook.

 

[ODDI]

Yeah I'm calling bullshit on this one, it's coming guys.

 

[Abriael]

What I find hilarious is that after five pages there are still people that didn't notice that this is a fake.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

In other news, Fox Weekly circa 2014 gets confused with Fox News circa 1996. Neogaf moderator Wario64 confirms the mistaken identity lead to countless pennies flowing into the wrong account.

 

[Stitch]

brb, buying Watch Dogs

Spoiler

not really, waiting for sale lol

 

[Fantastapotamus]

At least it was kinda amusing.
Also, can anybody confirm is "Brad Cockingham" actually is a real person? I honestly hope so

 

[jellies_two]

by the way.

foxweekly is a blog run by a 21 year old out of Florida that makes stuff up. Alien abductions and photos from onboard mh370.

why is this still a topic?

 

[UnrealEck]

What do you take me for? A gullibull? Or maybe even a gullicalf? Shahah, right.

 

[Freeman]

Maybe they are going for the triple-dip.

 

[onQ123]

I really want to think that you (and the other saying this) are joking. Because come on...

Joke.

Shh! Fox Weekly is run by renounced adult not born in 1993!

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

I noticed, since you're the only one that actually noticed what I wrote

People. This article must be a prank. The dude and the marketing firm cited DO NOT EXIST.

Come on, Google is your friend.

I was about to get mad, hah.

Carry on waiting for the preorder page to let us buy it, people.
