Jester,

I've always been a bit puzzled about when Rockstar announces (or as you said 'hints at') a new game it moves the needle immediately. Yeah, they have a reputation for the best games out there, but still. Read today that they just made it official that it'll be out sometime in 2017, and will set up a website of its own. I never played the original, so I'm not sure what the excitement is all about. But one reader of the article commented, "If it's not out for PC, I'm going to have to buy a console." I guess that explains it.
