HondurasGTAFan Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 People on here are really strange. R* act like spoiled children with GTA, then when people point it out, they get called "childish" and "spoiled".Have you ever heard of a game company censoring what people comment on its website? That reeks of insecurity on their part. Its funny how they want to deny the growing tide of people who don't want max payne 3. Lol you wouldn't be so mad if it was any other developer if square enix or whatever developer didn't realease info about there game for like 2 months you wouldn't give a sh*t it's because GTA is a game of perfection you don't see people swearing at naughty dog for keeping hush hush on The last of us.... And did you take a look at Max payne 3 the game looks f*cking incredible R* quality Naughty Dog *throws up* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staten Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Best-selling and best are two totally different things. True, but massive numbers of sales indicate that the market likes it, that fans like it. The massive number of sales of GTA vs say Noire should be a good enough indication to Rockstar were they need to be focused. A stand-alone game sells less that a sequel to one of the biggest series in video games? Wow, say it ain't so. Rockstar are slowly but surely demonstrating that they can have hits without the GTA name, and if they keep at it, there's a chance they'll have a GTA-sized hit with one of them. The market will like that, as will any fans of good games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookPassBabtridge Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 So yeah. It's only been about 2 months since we learn V was in full development. At least they threw you ingrates a bone. But no, you want to bite the hand that feeds you. @Zee: Are you that f*cking impatient that you expect V so soon after BoGT? Wow is all I can say. You got that reversed mate: we are the hand that feeds R*, and they wipe their ass with it regularly. It's been 2 months since we got official no-brainer confirmation that they were making V, which we knew since 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA-King Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) So yeah. It's only been about 2 months since we learn V was in full development. At least they threw you ingrates a bone. But no, you want to bite the hand that feeds you. @Zee: Are you that f*cking impatient that you expect V so soon after BoGT? Wow is all I can say. People have been expecting V since " ITS OVER, LIBERTY CITY." was put in the manual. To say people werent expecting V news in 2010+ 2011 is insane. On that note, I am done arguing. I can tell you prefer quantity over quality... which is a terrible thing for GTA. The true fans are patient until the masterpiece is complete. @CookPassBabtridge: We only had a hint that they we working on V in 2008. Last November we officially knew it was in full development.

CrzChris4 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Just leave it, GTA-King. There's no point in trying to argue, espcially when they're using COD's quality as an example of why Grand Theft Auto should become a yearly franchise. Love how you didn't respond to my comments, but no I was very clearly using the history of Grand Theft Auto as an example of why GTA should return to faster release times, an argument you obviously have to rebuttal to. Because it takes a moron to not see how San Andreas benefited from a longer development time. As the games get bigger and more detailed, it's going to take longer to create. @GTA-King Yeah, exactly. It's pointless. I'm out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My argument still stands. Destroy more than one car in GTA4 and the framerate drops terribly. The PC version took even longer to come out and ran even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with Rockstar experimenting with different I.P.s but never at the cost of leaving GTA behind for such long amounts of time.

llpalm08 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My argument still stands. Destroy more than one car in GTA4 and the framerate drops terribly. The PC version took even longer to come out and ran even worse. I just did exactly what you just said, well not exactly what you said, I did it on the latest GTA (EFLC) and the framerate degraded by 0% with 2 cars and by 0% with 5 cars so it is clear that if there was a problem on IV then they sorted it out on the next disk release of GTA which was EFLC.

Screewdriver Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Classic R* Seriously, I hope they remain silent till after Max Payne. People are getting rididculous. Why in the hell would you want them to hold off until releasing more info just to anger impatient fans? That's just stupid. Because those impatient fans need to realise Max Payne is the highest priority now. They will not realise....impatient fans started asking about the next GTA a week after IV..

bluesboyjr Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 There are actual improvements to COD with each game, new features are added whereas in GTAIV features were removed. Uh, no. Each COD game gets worse. Can't wait till it all ends, since MW3 flopped so badly. You fail. http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/12/2629959...-3-record-sales MW3 was not at all a flop. Perhaps youre thinking of LA Noire which couldnt even sell 1 million copies in the first week LOL I think he meant in terms of quality, not sales (is Twilight Eclipse one of the best films of all time, because it sold a sh*t load of tickets?) - it currently has a User Score of 3.2/10 on Metacritic. The CoD multiplayer is just bloody addictive (I'm playing MW2 at the moment, like a motherf*cking drug). But anyway, the point still stands that MP3 was supposed to come out in 2009, apparently, so you can't expect Rockstar to put it away in storage for even longer.

LotusRIP Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 For a games company that strives on their focus for "one game at a time", they sure know how to announce and release a trailer for their more successful other game at the same time.

They don't have to give us everything right now. All we need is one word - "OCTOBER" - and we would all settle down. It's not much to ask for when they have boxes on display in shops expecting us to pay $110 or whatever for a preorder for a game that at this stage doesn't even exist.

Jokesminus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I personally think this marketing strategy sucks I thought being secretive about a game kept the magic alive. Why does that strategy seem to only apply to GTA V and some what GTA IV while they whore out there other games. I for one am getting annoyed with waiting so long and there isn't even the basic info there either. Telling fans off when it's there own fault little bit stupid I don't see how keeping things secret helps to keep the magic. I knew so much about GTA San Andreas it never spoiled a thing about that game it still was magic. How they expect to keep this game secret when it's been a long time coming and it's one of the best free roam games around and set in one of the best locations. While expecting fans to sit around waiting like idiots for a tiny bit of info. I do think they expect there fans to just shut up and wait for as long as they want while they sit on what could be one of the best games since GTA San Andreas. It's a joke and if your sitting there waiting patiently for info from R* you are doing what they want like police officers telling you to shut up and be quiet and wait. Your not children I'm not saying we should have a rushed game I'm saying we need more info and this marketing strategy sucks keeping quiet on one of the most anticipated games of 2012 while whoring out there other games.

And while that's nice, Rockstar's general apporach to GTA and marketing makes no sense. The way to build up hype for a game isn't say, "Wow we are going back to the same damn city again," or "wow we brought back planes, something you had since GTA 3" it's to show us in a damn interview why GTA V is revolutionary. If they really care about GTA V then A. It would of already been released and L.A. Noire along with Payne would be on the back burner B.

tenpennyisplainevil Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 R* is being incredibly rude. releasing a GTA trailer, getting us all excited, and then straight out ignoring us while hoping we'll look at their site, see MP3, and buy it. i think this is very low. but three months is still acceptable imo. as long as they dont wait until after MP3 for info...

Rockstar could throw the game on shelves tomorrow unannounced and it would still sell like petrol. Their other games, on the other hand, need more marketing shenanigans to build up their hype.
