interpolfan11 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Why does R* spend it's time developing games like Max Payne 3 when the GTA series is clearly more profitable? GTA obviously has 10x the fanbase and it's probably 10x as profitable. I just don't understand. If Take Two is in the business of making profits for it's shareholders, why would they even waste their time on Max Payne 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Take Two is in the business of making profits for it's shareholders, why would they even waste their time on Max Payne 3? They're working on both games. They started the development of Max Payne 3 in 2008, I think, and they won't stop it just because of GTA V. Max Payne 3 will be awesome, and a lot of people will buy it. They're Rockstar, they know what they're doing. GTA V will sell a lot of copies, and doesn't matter when they release it. 70% of the gamers like the GTA series, so they don't care about the date, they'll buy it anyway.

swagmasterxxxx Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have a feeling a lot of people waiting for Grand Theft Auto V are going to buy Max Payne 3. Plus, a lot more people are paying attention to it since they are constantly checking Newswire for more information on GTA V. I know I'm going to buy it.

kb24sd Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeeahhhhhhhh.. Go try posting in this nonsense in a Max Payne dedicated fan site or forum and see what type of response you get. Since you are disrespecting the game series and it's fan base. You sound like another impatient forum member on here who wants to see a GTA game rehashed and annualized every year like what the joke of a game franchise Call Of Duty and Modern Warfare has turned into.

If Take Two is in the business of making profits for it's shareholders, why would they even waste their time on Max Payne 3? Before GTA IV came out Take Two was almost bought out by EA games, that is because in between GTA games the company was actually not that rich, other games are released to widen the financial base, leaving more money for other ventures, and more money for GTA since i expect it to be quite a costly game to produce, and if they have more money lying around, they can take more time to make games. Every company wants to expand and increase profits, only releasing GTA is never going to expand the company, what happens if GTA were to lose popularity? You don't put all your eggs in one basket.

Just like in 2008, after IV, they wanted to expand their profits with MC:LA. That's how business works. You need to make as much profit as you can. Take Two knows that for the short term, it's not much, but for the long term, they'll be swimming in a pool of dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gtaghost22 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) R* are working on BOTH games.. Also they started working on Max Payne 3 4 years ago (2008) and i dont thing they will stop cuz of GTA V.. And like "stremel" said 70-75% of gamers will buy GTA V, they wont care when it gets released they will buy it no matter what. As for Max Payne 3, well.. I think its a good game too, not as good as the GTA series, but its good and i'm sure many GTA fans will buy it, (i know i will) Edited February 15, 2012 by Gtaghost22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeebuuus Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I hear R* has multiple studios working on different games. R* North is working on GTA and Vancouver I think is working on MP3. As for information, I don't think GTA V is ready for more exposure. Thats just my opinion on why we arn't getting anything new yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algonquin Assassin Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) Because not everyone is a rabid GTA fanboy that will ONLY play a GTA game? R* are damned if they do, damned if they don't. They could only just make GTA and they would get criticized for not expanding outside of the square and when they do they get questioned why they make these other games. It must suck being R* knowing the fanbase is made up of ungrateful sh*ts who aren't satisfied either way. Of course that doesn't apply for all of us. Most of us welcome these other fantastic titles R* make. MP3 will be my next major purchase regardless, because the game looks fun.

And to the people that say I'm disrespecting MP3, please realize that my question only to pertained to Take Two's financial incentive to make MP3. At the end of the day, Take Two is in the video game business to make money and every decision they make relates to this ultimate goal.

Yeah, you were not actually disrespecting MP3, you were simply asking it's financial reasons considering it is not that popular. Anyone that owns a game has the right to not like it, sometimes that just happens, but it's people that talk sh*t about games they never played, or they fail to see how it can be enjoyable, then rabbit on about it upsetting people who do enjoy the game. --- Zee it was already explained why the game is being made, no need to talk sh*t about the houser brothers.

One thing I've noticed about your posts Zee is that they are all one or two lines and the content is always the same. The Housers are lazy, drunk c*nts. I wish you would flesh out some of those weird thoughts you have into longer posts with some original material to top it off. For the sake of the forum. We need to laugh more around here lately.

StockLoc Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Why does R* spend it's time developing games like Max Payne 3 when the GTA series is clearly more profitable? GTA obviously has 10x the fanbase and it's probably 10x as profitable. I just don't understand. If Take Two is in the business of making profits for it's shareholders, why would they even waste their time on Max Payne 3? Unlike Activision, Rockstar actually cares about its games, not how many they sell. They're Rockstar, they don't recreate the same game with different maps on a yearly basis. They actually create something NEW and fresh every time they release somethin. They need to keep their track records creative. I hope this answered your question. PS. GTA V sucks and in the end someone dies. There. I spoiled it. Don't buy it now. -Stock Loc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HydraulicWaRiOr Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Because 2 different parts of R* are working on Max Payne 3 and we guess that they are using the logic of "Max Payne is more important because we started it first" And now they're just trying to get as many profits on the game as possible so they don't want to direct attention to Grand Theft Auto because they believe that mere information could screw up Max Payne sales for some reason.

[OBEY] That is a popular idea. Although a little info. here or there about GTA V wouldn't change someones mind on whether or not to purchase MP3. Since V insn't going to be release until fall of this year at the earliest, R* will be advertising heaviest in spring(April/May) on T.V. commercials and other media. This will inform and remind everyone that Max Payne is worth paying attention to and playing. I don't see MP3 effecting V much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
