GTA4 PC speculation arises

Published at 6:18 PM PST

The question of whether Grand Theft Auto IV will make it to PC or not has been asked and debated many a times before. However with the release a mere 66 days away the question is on more lips then it was previously. Our friend at RockstarUncut this week posted an article about the GTA series in respect with the PC platform. He notes that all Grand Theft Auto games (excluding those on portable platforms) have made it to PC at sometime or another, and most importantly that Grand Theft Auto started on PC, so their is some history there that really wouldn't be right not to fulfill.

Most PC conversions after Grand Theft Auto 2 where ported between 6 and 8 months after the PlayStation release. If Rockstar stick to this tradition, which I think many people are hoping for, we could be seeing a possible October release for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV, which as I discussed in an article not long ago, is 'the month' for game releases at Rockstar.

History shows us it's possible, and with Windows Vista being coined as an Xbox 360 in your computer as well as Windows itself having a larger market then all the gaming consoles put together it looks like a terrific option. Fingers crossed we'll be navigating Niko around Liberty City with a mouse by 2009.
