HOTMILFDAD Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Respectfully disagreeing with that. Releasing GTA the same time as MP3 would be a death sentence to Max Payne and i do believe that GTA would make any other franchise seem less important in a Q3-4 release, but I think GTAV will be a summer release, kinda falling between the two events, drawing all the hype it can get. Yeah I get your point, but still GTA would have a HUGE competition by releasing the game so late. But I believe in what you are saying, GTA V will be a summer release somewhere between May - July. Rockstar has released a GTA during a crazy holiday line up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_in_video...ideo_game_sales Halo 2 was comparable to COD in terms of fan base and online play. Granted, SA and H2 were console exclusives but if you take games like Madden, which is multi-platform and insanely popular, SA did beyond great. GTA and Rockstar will not have any issues releasing it during Q4. They'll earn more money if they do that instead of releasing it earlier imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fohu Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Releasing GTA V in October would probably cause a lot more negative sale effect on GTA itself than GTA would cause on Max Payne 3 by releasing it in May. I mean most of the biggest games arrive in Q3-Q4, Call of Duty, Halo, Battlefield, Metal Gear, and probably many more, and that would draw focus away from GTA by much more than GTA would draw away focus on Max Payne 3. So releasing GTA V "early" will help their sales on it a hell lot more than releasing it late. And don't tell me that "gta will be bigger than cod" etc. I don't care. The point is that CoD is right now the biggest franchise in gaming, and it has wayyyy much more eyes on it than Max Payne 3 does probably same thing with Halo 4. And some might be "Well they could release it in another month". True, but the best times to release games are between March - July and September - December, and GTA V will no way in hell come out that late since their fiscal year begins in April 2012. I have to totally agree with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1LV3R_W0LF Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 That would make perfect sense, releasing the game in a time there is no big competition would be the best to do. Far from the big spending that Christmas was and having nothing else to look for would be a granted sale, and the Christmas could be used for some DLC's. People who had the game would go for DLC's.

Ludzidocelowych Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 For all the people saying 7 months is too early... You DO realize this game has been being working on since 2007/2008 right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic_Al Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The best proof that GTA V will NOT come out in May this year is to look back at the marketing for Red Dead Redemption, which was a May 2010 release. At this point in RDR's release countdown, January 2, 2010, Rockstar had released all of the following RDR info: Teaser trailer, screenshots, multiple gaming website previews - May 2009 Preview at PAX trade show and two Asked & Answered web features mentioning RDR - September 2009 Screenshots, artwork, contest - October 2009 Screenshots, Rockstar Recommends western films - November 2009 Trailer 2, Exclusive Preorder Content announced, more Rockstar Recommends films, Gameplay Series Video 1, multiple gaming site previews - December 2009 What do we have for GTA V? Teaser trailer - November 2011 The idea that GTA V gets less marketing than Red Dead Redemption is crazy. The fact GTA is a more popular franchise means you market it even more to take advantage of growth potential. You don't sit around and let it "sell itself". Look at GTA IV's marketing. A May 2012 release date has no credibility whatsoever. It absolutely, positively is not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A May 2012 release date has no credibility whatsoever. It absolutely, positively is not going to happen. RDR was a "new" game that many didnt know about meanwhile everyone knows about GTA. Put "Grand Theft Auto" in the title and it gets known FAST Put "Red Dead Redemption" in the title and most will want to see what it is before deciding whether it's worth to buy or not. RDR needed a lot more marketing since it was not as known as GTA. Also keep in mind that GTA IV was going to be released 6 months after the trailer, but got delayed, and it was not because of "to little marketing". May 2012 has a lot of good reasons to be a release date, it would be a smart move by rockstar. Q3-Q4 has not any good reasons.

Doland J. Trump Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Though they said that "We are happy to announce that GTA V is in full production" so they must have been working on it for a while at least from 2009 or maybe earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 7 five 11 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Heres my source for the 124 05 thing http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=490646&st=4950 By the way i don't believe the 24-05 release for V, it's either the release date for MP3 (announced for a march release) or another trailer, no way R* would release two games in one month. March and may are not the same month lol.... Woops! i meant to say R* would never release two games in two months so close, i guess i missed a couple important joining words and in the process made myself look like an idiot.

XTREME0235 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 it's so damned simple, why can't anyone do it!? Because lately there has been a massive debunk in general knowledge and common sense that it's begun to flood those who haven't had the time to learn and follow the actions of other long-term users. In other words more new users are degrading in intelligence by the moment at a rapid rate might I add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much to my surprise, the length was actually 1:24.01 and the extra .01 could be due to video compression perhaps (I know mp3 adds an extra tiny gap of silence at the end of tracks, that's how compression works). Sometimes it pays to do a little research so that when you do find something interesting to share, you at least look like you've done your homework. You have to try and debunk your theories before they are topic-worthy. You would have wasted less time doing the research than making this topic and taking hours to realise you were fooled.

tenpennyisplainevil Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 there are too many references to 2405 to say its nothing. you need to realize that R* did this for a purpose, not for fun. RDR, IV, MP3, etc. all being released 7 months after the 1st trailer. 7 months after november is may. these references pretty much confirm that GTA V will release like they've released their other games. all that the others have to say is that it would ruin MP3's sales, and R* didnt say anything about it. while we get our info straight from what R* did themselves.
