Smudge2626 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I was thinking about good times for them to announce the release date when a lot of people would hear. February 3rd falls right at the beginning of their Q2 so most of that window could still be open. In addition, a lot of the market watching the Super Bowl also purchase video games, so despite having to pay a lot for airtime, it might drive presales even further. Just a theory!

OptimumPx Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 And if they are making a 4th trailer that would be a good time to show it as well. Very cool idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cochese Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 does T2/Rockstar have that kind of money to air a commercial during the superbowl tho? other than that, great idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geomy Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 does T2/Rockstar have that kind of money to air a commercial during the superbowl tho? Whether including the $50M from Microsoft or no, they should have enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan207 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 does T2/Rockstar have that kind of money to air a commercial during the superbowl tho? other than that, great idea It would be a good idea, but i doubt rockstar would release another trailer during the superbowl. 1. Too much money. 2.7 million for just 30 seconds. If it is going to be another 2 minute trailer, than it would cost around 9 million. That nine million could have went to make a much better game. 2. How many people have the Xbox 360/PS3 that don't know about the game. And yes I know that there will be a lot of people watching that don't have the Xbox/PS3, but that one game is not going to make a lot of people buy the console just for that. 3. They couldn't use the 50 million that they got from microsoft because then the content would be worse for us 360 owners. 4. There are websites that show all of the commercials before the superbowl airs. I wish, but it's not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, Rockstar and Take-Two has so much money they let everyone who works for them wipe their asses with 100 dollar bills. And considering a lot of them are fat, that's a lot of ass wiping. Realistically, that 9 million would be used probably for self-entertainment by Dan Houser rather than for GTA IV. 2. A LOT. Plus, MANY people heard about it, but just don't pay attention to it, and this trailer may be a wower. And I'm sure this will encourage many of the millions of viewers. 3. Microsoft gave them 50 million to do it, Microsoft technically didn't really "fund them". 4. The funny ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebness Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 you've probably seen by now, that Rockstar havnt been giving US/UK/AUS much attention, more the europeian countries, so i really wouldnt see it happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me 5 people who you know that have the consles but do not know about GTA 4, and I will believe you. No bull sh*tting. 3. Um, the 50 million did fund them. You know how many hours goes into making games, a lot. Plus all the people working for them, 200+, with a salary of, wild guess, 30+ an hour. So, it won't leave a lot of revenue after that. 4. No, all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Bod Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 i think i see where you are getting at: a released release date commercial of some sort on superbowl sunday. BRILLIANT!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptimumPx Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 A 30 second commercial on the Super Bowl costs $2.6 million. If all those normal companies can afford that I'm sure Take-Two wouldn't have a problem spending that much on publicity for their flagship product.
