foohy Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 During yesterday's Take-Two Interactive third quarter 2009 fiscal report conference call, chairman Strauss Zelnick laid out the company's non-strategy for announcing the next Grand Theft Auto game. Responding to a question about the announcement strategy for the next GTA from Arvind Bhatia of brokerage firm Stern Agee, Zelnick made Take-Twoe's stance on the subject perfectly clear. "We're not going to announce it. We're not going to announce when we're going to announce it. And we're not going to announce the strategy about announcing it or about when we're going to announce it either, or about the announcement strategy surrounding the announcement of the strategy. Any other questions?" What do you suppose that means? Hmm...VERY informative. (Click quote for source) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hasn't this been their strategy right since the start of the GTA franchise? I don't see why they would change it now and start announcing the next game way before it's release. Let's not forget that GTA IV was announced more than a year before its actual release and then R* had to end up taking a lot of sh*t when it got delayed. If I was Rockstar, I would delay the announcement of the next game even more so as to avoid situations like GTA IV. Also, it adds to the suspense leading to the next game and gives us more time to hope and speculate even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
