Why Grand Theft Auto won´t be annualized.

[Mati]

Linky.

Its like proof that GTA won´t be announced in the next year.

But if you read it, it looks like they want to make GTAV something big.

 

"I think we've certainly done a better job on bringing some titles out in a somewhat quicker lifecycle," Zelnick explained. "For example, with BioShock 2, that came out in roughly two years and we've announced that BioShock Infinite is coming in calendar 2012."

 

 

"First, we endeavor to make the very best and highest rated titles in the business, and we think we achieve not only our highest sales by doing that, but we improve the value of the franchise overall,"

 

 

"My belief is that even a very, very high quality, annualized franchise runs the risk of burning customers out. 'I've seen that five years in a row, I've had enough,'" he said. "If we had to use a film analogy, we'd like to be James Bond. You may have to wait a few years in between, but you'll always want to see it."

 

 

"I think that's a more valuable approach and we've proven that for Take-Two that works."

 

 

"We've said repeatedly execution needs to get better at the company. That means aspire to be on time and not have slippage. We aspire to be on a tighter schedule,"

 

 

"We've had to make certain concessions to the intensity of the creative process. So there's an execution issue, which is a reflection of the fact this is incredibly hard to do and we want to support our creative teams to do their very best work. At the same time there's a strategy behind it as well and we're trying to optimize between the two."

 

Discuss.

I can do you one better:

 

 

GTA 5: Release Date Revealed!!!

 

 

 

 

Yeah it's obviously fake, and the site is pure crab, but still.....

[Mati]

Fake as hell.

Anyways, is it a good choice to hold GTA off? What do you think?

[x9x Krypt0 x4x]

Give it another year before A new GTA another 2-3 before GTA 5?

[maxopower]

Yeah I think it's great it wont get annualized. But about this...

 

"Its like proof that GTA won´t be announced in the next year."

 

Well, since no major GTA title came out this year, nothing stops them from reveling a new title next year, not that I believe the will, but this doesn't proof anything....

...what? He wants to say that the next GTA is not coming in the next 2 or 3 years.

 

@maxopower: Then you havent read the text. They dont talk about it cause they want to raise the value of the series.

[TOMERAKA]

IGN are a bunch of tw@ts.

Whether in two years, whether in four, five, WHATEVER, Grand heft Auto V will be released.

The hint pic on the EFLC manual is the proof,and R* is probably on the alpha stages of GTA V (that's what I'm choosing to believe, lol!)

so next time, don't listen to IGNorance

No I read it, I might be slow but I really don't get your point. How dose this proof anything?

[Kwandilibro]

Come on, man. 2014? 2014 my ass. R* can do a good job, but they ain't that f*cking slow. Six years? I'm guessing we'll see a new GTA in 2012. I will not read that article, but I'll tell you what- These analysts can kiss my ass, kiss my dick, and kiss my balls.

 

GTA will not be annualized per se, but they're not going to wait six years between releases. Don't give me some EFLC sh*t. That was the same city, half of the same characters, and really nothing new except a few features and an altered soundtrack. Far from a full game. And CTW? Come on.

 

As for production, I believe that R* is at least half way done. For marketing purposes of other projects, they might not release it immediately, but they're definitely working on it.

[Tyla]

Surely if they dropped the tiniest fragment of information, people would go crazy with anticipation? Look how mad this board is going. Imagine if they revealed the official name!

Analysts ???? The least you could have done was reading the quotes.

I dont get it its 2011 and they havent even given us some kinda hint! It kinda feels like take2 and R* are tired of making GTA and from reading all the articles it feels like they wanna realese Max payne 3 and L.A Noire maybe even Agent before giving any information about next GTA.

[Germaniac_84]

I'm glad GTA isn't like COD. I mean sure games like COD get more attention, but they also draw in a lot more ignorant annoying f*ck face 12 year old fanboys who aren't even old enough to play the damn game. That's exactly why I don't play COD.

Im saying One year for a New GTA in general. But Two or Three before GTA V

Are you saying you agree with my post or are you being sarcastic?

[Mainland Marauder]

It's really good they space these out so I don't pull a stunt like playing six hours straight overnight like I did when I first picked up San Andreas. I paid for it when I went to work a few hours later. Guess what I did after I got home? It wasn't sleep.

 

I can't do that sh*t every year.

True. But waiting 4 years between GTA's? Thats just torture.

Go find a Duke Nukem fan forum and tell them four years is a long time to wait for a game.

Really how long have they been waiting now, ten years or so?

Now those are some damn nerds. Who the f*ck sits around waiting ten years for a video game. Get up and get a life, you crusty piece of sh*t.

 

If GTA doesn't get released by 2012, I'm not waiting for it anymore. Loyalty can kiss my ass, I've got sh*t to do.

[Mainland Marauder]

Forever has been in development since 1997. Basically it was announced around when the very first GTA was released.

[Germaniac_84]

 

Who the f*ck sits around waiting ten years for a video game

 

Apparently Duke Nukem fans. I don't care how good a game is there's no way I'd wait ten years for some game to come out. Even if the game was designed, written, and had all the voice acting done by Jesus Christ himself I still wouldn't wait ten years.

Yep, I almost became a drop out doing that sh*t, my GPA was a 1.5 I mean dumb.sh*t

[Mainland Marauder]

Or you might forget about it for a bit, move on to something else and when it does come out, whether it's four or ten years, you end up playing it anyway.

[Germaniac_84]

I hear ya, I almost flunked out of college when Vice City first came out. Good times though...good times.
