Yeah you have a point There was literally no day without Max Gayne post on the Newswire with GTA V they are not so generous Urgh, no. You clearly have NO knowledge WHATSOEVER. The only reason they advertised MP3 so much was because the sales weren't upto standards as they expected, even though it was good overall. MP3 sales weren't good because people were pissed of that piece of sh*t was blocking GTA V news No one cared about MP3, everybody wanted GTA V Another Rockstar fail - release 1st GTA V trailer, then release Max Payne 3 (when everybody are waiting desperately for GTA V news), torment people for half year with news about it (meanwhile no word about GTA V) and expect it to be succesful

Yeah you have a point There was literally no day without Max Gayne post on the Newswire with GTA V they are not so generous Because Max Payne ( or like you guys put it "Gayne") needed all the help it could get for marketing. Its not a A1 game like GTA. Sales numbers are completely different for it

Why ain't they pimping it like they did Max Gayne? lol Remember how updated the Newswire was with that sh*t? MAX PAIN MAX PAIN MAX PAIN This is GTA V, and you are right my friend, they are NOT pimping that thang the way they should. MAX GAYNE

Thanks R* for using GTA to market Max Gayne. That was...really great! Also, thanks for the horsesh*t time frames, such as: "few weeks or so" and "soon". I like it, I love it, I want some more of it! Thanks for acting like it was a hassle because so many people were wondering where the hell the next GTA was a few years ago. "we're not going to announce it, announce the announcvement of announcing it, announce about the announcement that announced the announcing". That was really great too, instead of just giving a straight answer. Thanks R*!

In march 2008 we had sh*t load of GTA IV previews, posters, and other cool stuff. Now we are at the same point, and we have silent. It's because of Max Gayne 3. They used GTA V to promote MP3 and it was main fail. They f*cked up marketing. Hope it won't be the same with GTA VI. Also, they have one of the biggest fanbase in video games industry, and they don't give a f*ck about it. They still repeating "coming soon", "soon", "very soon", "few weeks" etc, etc. We are they main source of income, it should look different.

Max Gayne? So tomorrow then? *Someone should make a topic guessing when V will go gold(gimme credit). The winner receives a free, imaginable cup of nothing.

I was pissed about it for a few months. After all that time, they still had to delay it? And R* released the posters and viewers and everything, then BAM! They delayed it out of the blue. I felt that they had to know about it for a long time. They were just using GTA V hype to peddle their other wares(Max Gayne). I lost respect that cannot be recovered. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. But, we're not far from release, assuming that R* doesn't delay it on Sept. 15th. I'll be glad to leave all the dark times of anticipation behind, and some forumers here know exactly what I'm talkin' 'bout. R* really needs to evaluate their marketing strategy, because it sucks. Two months from release and they still aren't marketing the way they should with a title like this. In the future, instead of going silent for a year after dropping a bomb, and instead of releasing 10 screens at once, they should spread it out a little to keep it flowing. IMO, R* are gods in game development, but when it comes to marketing, they are complete fools.

R* could've made V in three years but they had other agendas. *cough* MAX GAYNE$$$$

i thinknof get max gayne 3 can you tell me if storymode is fun cause i cant online cause internet when i live is bad

they should feel guilty for using this lie to promote MP3 which ,at last ,didn't work Anyone with half a brain knows that this isnt true. People are just butthurt about lack of info, and the fact that we got MP shoved down our throats didnt help. So people start making these absurd claims to justify such a long drought Then why'd they announce V when they did? Then spam us with MP? It's very clear and anyone with half a brain could see right through this bait and switch. They announced V, then went blackout on info about it, then, it was all about Max Gayne on the newswire. That was a dirty marketing ploy to try and drum up sales by taking advantage of desperate, info hungry GTA fans. It's as clear as the nose on your face.....you do have a nose, right Deff? You definitely don't have a nose or eyes. The only reason they done that was because MP3's sales weren't doing as expected in R*'s favour so they needed to gain more sales to benefit the shareholders and themselves. You do know what Shareholders are right? Guess not. Besides, they wanted a good time to announce it, it's not like they give two f*cks about losers like you who hate on them for nothing.

I've anticipated every GTA after GTA 1. I was hyped about Vice City, then San An really got me. I combed through the screens and the interactive website. I was addicted. When I finally got my hands on San An, it was heaven on earth. I looked all the time for info on IV for a long time, but nothing. Then R* went full force with it. I was hyped about it, but for some reason, I just didn't think that it looked very good. When I finally got my hands on it, I was like: "where's the features?" I was disappointed. I liked Niko/the story and some of the other characters, but it just didn't get it for me. About 6 months after IV, I was looking early for V rumors or leaks. I was ready to move on, but it was a lost cause. Then, after V's announcement, R* spammed us with Max Gayne around the clock. That's NOT at all what I was craving at the moment. After all the lies, inaccurate time frames, year of silence, then, the delay,--It ruined it this time around. For the first time I felt anger towards R* and noticed that many other core fans felt the same way. "What has happened", -I thought. It's just been one let down after another with V. R* says no properties! What the hell have they been doing all this time? What else has been left on the cutting room floor? My hype for V has been a roller coaster that has gradually went down hill. Trailer #2 brought it up again, but it crashed to the ground soon after. I just want the game so I can turn the page and leave this anticipational nightmare behind in the anals of history. It's been a sh*tty go-round this time. Thanks R*.

It's actually a good question. Will we have to go to our safehouse and put it on everytime we wanna go diving, or will it be in the items/equipment wheel where we can just select it? I'd say with the new wheel thingy(like in Max gayne) we will just be able to select it.

I heard you say you were over 40 years old, why don't you act like one ? Max Gayne, dude, that's really mature of you . Also from my perspective the marketing worked since people are excited to see even a painting of the cover on a wall . It's GTA. That's why they're excited! GTA doesn't need advertising! R* used GTA to advertise another game. You call that brilliant marketing? I call it bait & switch EA style! How on earth is that a bait & switch? Aliens Colonial Marines, now that was the ultimate example. R* advertising two games at the same time makes them EA does it? There was no indication of a release date when Trailer 1 was released, you just assumed (mother of all eff ups). You're such a drama queen, with your hyperbolic nonsense.

GTA V was a given and it was time. They released the trailer to drum up hype for Max Gayne. It was so obvious because then we were spammed with nothing but MP news and nothing on GTA V, for months on end. It was the stupidest marketing stardegy ever attempted. The imbecile who made that decision should be fired. R* had many of their own beloved fans turn on them like rabid dogs. Respect was lost. It was all about the Max Gayne. Now as we know, GTA V isn't even coming out until later 2013 and R* knew this all along. Had we known that then, the sh*t woulda hit the fan. They knew V wasn't even halfway complete and they faked us out. I'm sorry, but that's fu**ed up, IMO. What has happened to these people?

To be fair, they also have the same hair. Ew, Max Gayne. Lelelelel that was teh funnest Stop with the 1 year old colloquialisms.

Maybe it could be like Max Gayne and pain killers? Except Trevor has to smoke some crystal meth or snort some to get health back? I don't know. I think stuff like that sends the wrong message to people. That sh*t will ruin your life and strip away the person that once was. One of the most evil drugs known to man, besides heroin. The day you're dumb enough to try it is the day you handed over your life. It will just be a slow suicide. *This message brought to you by someone who's seen the destruction brought on by this drug*

I'm pretty sure it should be 2016-2017, unless they start trolling with Bully 2, Agent, RDR sequel, Max Gayne 4, a new Midnight Club (but that one would be alright), Manhunt 3, or even a new franchise.

It should have gone like this: -GTA IV in 2008, only 1 DLC in 2009 with TLaD and TBoGT mixed together as smaller games. -RDR in 2010, no changes there. -A new GTA in 2011, brand new city, improved RAGE engine, better graphics, more features, etcetera. -LA Noire in 2012, instead of 2011. -GTA V as we know it, in 2013. So basically no Max Gayne 3 to make room for another GTA. Yet even then, the time span between GTAs would be 2 years, more than the average for the III era, but still much better than 5+ years.

Topics like this make clear that GTA V was pushed back too far... should've been released in 2012 instead of that max gayne bullsh*t, now PS4 is too near for a PS3 game to still make a big statement... Rockstar you suck major balls.
