fitbikesbmx Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Remember this game called GTA IV? They committed to the original release date only to have it delayed and create a massive amount of disappointment. They won't make that mistake again. T2 is a corporation who is going to be very careful about what they promise their shareholders. There's still an overwhelming chance it's coming out in 2012 but Rockstar just isn't comfortable giving an exact release date to them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer we will be forced to wait, the better the game will be. It's as simple as that. Give them time to create a masterpiece, don't force them into releasing an unfinished product. It's going to be a masterpiece, after all. Have some patience. And it seems that Take Two has learned from its mistakes, good for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic_Al Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 They're less likely to have problems with the PS3 version of the game this time, after all the experience they have. What could be a new wrinkle would be a desire to do a simultaneous PC release like Max Payne 3 is doing. IF they want to do that, they probably don't know if they can yet, and they don't want to announce it one way and then change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outplug Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 They seem to miss the all-important word: "fiscal." Oh man you're right. The word 'fiscal' is something they really missed. As soon as I read what you said, I went right back in and CTRL-F'ed "fiscal 2012." This means that guys, T2 is only not committing to before April 2012. Fiscal 2012: April 2011-March 2012 Fiscal 2013: April 2012-March 2013 All this article REALLY says is they're not doing Fiscal 2012/before April 2012. Calm your horses guys. False alarm.

StickyWickett Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I'm a bit confused. This means the game won't be out until sometime after April 2012 right? Yes. I was listening to the conference yesterday and they were saying how Max Payne 3 is their most anticipated game for fiscal 2012, and will round the end out nicely. MP3 is scheduled to be released in March which means that the fiscal period of April to March is correct. We'll be getting GTA V any time after that, so, if their predicted massive increase in revenue is anything to go by, we can expect it between April 2012 and March 2013. I'm hoping May 24th still.

Bitches_Brew Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 "fiscal year" is still pretty vague...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiscal_year The U.S. government's fiscal year begins on October 1 of the previous calendar year and ends on September 30 of the year with which it is numbered. Prior to 1976, the fiscal year began on July 1 and ended on June 30. The Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 stipulated the change to allow Congress more time to arrive at a budget each year, and provided for what is known as the "transitional quarter" from July 1, 1976 to September 30, 1976. As stated above, the tax year for a business is governed by the fiscal year it chooses. For example, the United States government fiscal year for 2012 ("FY 2012" or "FY12") is as follows: 1st Quarter: October 1, 2011 - December 31, 2011 2nd Quarter: January 1, 2012 - March 31, 2012 3rd Quarter: April 1, 2012 - June 30, 2012 4th Quarter: July 1, 2012 - September 30, 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(NASDAQ:TTWO) today reported better-than-expected results for the second quarter of its fiscal year 2012, ended September 30, 2011. In addition, the Company reiterated its financial outlook for the fiscal year 2012, ending March 31, 2012, and provided its initial financial outlook for the third quarter ending December 31, 2011.

Bitches_Brew Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 so i guess it just depends on what quarter they are talking about. while searching i found this...... http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9QSQPAG1.htm sounds like they want/need GTA V as bad as we do.

Dr. Zoidberg Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) The author of that article, Ben Parfitt is a liar. He makes up some articles that arnt true. He made another article before the trailer was released about interviewing some weird dude in a basement and the interviewee was talking about strange things such as DLCs and other sh*t. tl;dr The author of that Ben Parfitt is a bullsh*t artist.

mattymcs Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 yeah people need to be aware that all this is saying is that they are not gonna be releasing it prior to 31st march 12, which I'm sure noone really expected anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHAT! i was holding my breath for X-mas. at least acording to the link SW provided we can positively expect it by march 2013 With our diverse lineup of industry-leading franchises and focus on operational excellence, we continue to expect fiscal 2012 to be another profitable year for Take-Two on a Non-GAAP basis and fiscal 2013 to be one of our best years ever there is only one way to have the "best year ever"....... that's with the best game ever.

YukiEiri Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 at least acording to the link SW provided we can positively expect it by march 2013 Yet again, I'm waiting the game to be released in October 2012 since the GTA franchise has always had October as release month.

Beg2Live4Life Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 And that's why I'm suggesting again that we tie those motherf*cken programmers to their desks until they finish gta v.

Raptomex Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I still have a feeling it will be released some time next year. It would make sense to show a trailer and then release the game in over a year. I mean I'm sure that's been done. But not a game in a franchise as popular as GTA.

All they've done is taken the Take-two conference information and noticed that they didn't mention anything about the release date (Obviously..) and they've made this stupid article. Ignore it.
