how would it though, both GTA V and MP3 are seperate R* studios and can release both games near the same time as one another, and won't affect the sales, as i think that R* North and R* Vancouver has agreed to release both games in a tandem, to get the most sales R* has ever got from two completley different R* games close to both releases of GTA V and MP3

What do people not understand in : No info before Max Payne's release ?

Will the sales of MP3 will be affected if R* release some info of GTAV?

At the end of the day they only share a R* logo. It's like suggesting Apple releasing info on a new Mac would affect the sales of a new I phone.

Maybe not, but what's the point in marketing two games at once when there's no need? Rockstar are focusing their marketing efforts on Max Payne at the moment as the game is due for release in May. Obviously they want to give it 100% of their attention right now rather than releasing GTA info just to stop some people on a forum being upset.

 

Meanwhile Rockstar North are actively working on building GTA V. The game we get in our hands will be the same if not better because of Max Payne (work done on things like animation will likely be used in GTA V for example).

The longer it takes for more info the more i get the idea R* only just started developing V for maybe a year right now.

 

If they would be developing it more relaxed and less rushed, they would have had time to post some screenshots or a flash map or a second trailer.

 

The other theory on why they havnt released more info than the trailer back in november is that they do not want to interfere with the marketing and popularity of MP3.

When have R* ever shown their map before the game released confused.gif

R* should always focus on their biggest most popular game then shift all other games like Max Payne around that but they're not. They're doing quite the opposite. I don't think that letting a fart like trailer #1 and just walking away like nothing happened is working very well. It is obvious that they had to show something because shareholders were starting to get worried. It wasn't for the fans, in my opinion. But now they are at the mercy of their fanbase---just look how many times they have to clean up R* newswire because nobody cares about anything else except for GTA V. I think that they have/are learning some things right now. But anyways, like I said in another topic, I think we will hear something around march 16-17 give or take a few.

Selfish? R* doesn't have to share sh*t with us. It is the fans being selfish in thinking that R* should care about their feelings to begin with.

op: i'm dying for more V info, they're not being selfish, just smart, they know they can barrage us as much a they want after Max Payne, hell if you want something from rockstar, rent out Max Payne 3, you may like it.

I mean, come on?

You're the only one hyped here, dude. Can't you see it?

No one here cares about GTA. It's a Tibia forum. gtfo.

Really? Then why are u here in this GTAV section if you're not hype just like what you are saying. Every one here is also hype on GTAV.

They're not selfish. You're impatient.

 

They don't have to give you any f*cking info. It's their game, their marketing strategy - and it works very well.

Keeping fans in the dark is why R* Games has such a great reputation. What do you want from them? Do you want them to list every gameplay feature, tell you all about the characters and vehicles, and get you hyped up to think it's something greater than anything ever seen before? Then by the time is released you know most of the things about it and feel let down? Go see THQ for that sh*t.

 

You won't get anything from R* except some trailers and a few drips of info up untill the release phase. It's driving you crazy and they want that to happen. You demanding info is proving why their strategy works. Becuase if they released a trailer tomorrow without warning you would jizz so hard your bedroom would need recarpeted. A logo was all they needed for their website to crash with the amount of traffic. You can't just expect them to give you loads of information because the fans are tired of waiting, that's what sets them apart from other developers.

 

Chill out and wait dude. It's coming.  wink.gif

What the f*ck is wrong with u? I'm not asking R* to give info only to me, I'm just asking if they could give us only a bit of info on GTAV not asking for too much info like you're saying. For me their marketing strategy didn't work that well, I know on other fans too. They're f*cking selfish all they cared is our MONEY they don't care of what we feel about the game and R* made me and other fans to be impatient the way they treat us. WHat the f*ck u have to brought THQ with this? Actually R* is not driving me crazy but driving me to hate them and upset with them that's what R* making me now. So don't blame other fans if they're saying bad things to them and swearing them cause R* make them to be like that. And one more thing I don't expect anything for them. Even if they release a new info or screenshot my hate and anger to them will not changed..I won't even buy the Orig one...

First of all who's the one buying their game? Who's the one supporting them? Was it the fans like u and me right? We are the one who's buying and supporting their products. We're the one that make them rich...So how can u say that fans are being selfish? R* is the selfish here cause even if they can release an info they still keeping us waiting for too long like a stupid.

At least i'm not going OTT with moaning about R* and GTA V. Yes lack of info is very annoying but the less you stop being negative, the more positive you are

You can't be serious.

 

San Andreas: interactive map slowly unlocked piece by piece leading up to release

 

Plus a little game called GTA4... their whole website was the map.

^ this I agree 100%

 

ND only takes two years, but with outstanding results

 

R* takes there time to make sure everything runs smoothly and with outstanding results

 

Activision takes one year with the same old cr*p results

People here have an amazing sense of entitlement, they'll release more info when their good and ready, i don't see V coming out anytime soon so there's no need to release anything at the moment.

I don't think its because their greedy either, they want to give Max Payne a chance, whats the point of creating a game, just to have it overshadowed by another??

You have no right to call the rockstar selfish.I prefer if they do it at their own pace,fix the bugs,make it actually playable on the minimum settings revealed(unlike L.A. Noire,which my computer was supposed to run,instead I was watching a slow-mo movie).Anyway,they don't reveal info for three simple reasons:

1 - To keep the hipe for MP3

2 - Because it makes the GTA Fans go raging for info,which makes them literally explode when new info comes,also known as a deep marketing scheme

3 - Because of idiots who keep begging for info.

 

Learn something,they revealed the trailer to let us know they are producing it(and apparently,LS is done/near done) and to increase the hipe to MP3.

 

Now go back to your hole.

 

Also,I did not read most of the pages,but idc really,I don't have time for that.I find this topic kind of useless though,there's nothing here that can contribute in anyway.

I'd be annoyed if it seemed like they weren't going to give any info at all. But they've said themselves that in a few month's time we'll be seeing more of it, and believe me we are likely to see a lot. GTA V is one of the most anticipated games of the year, and we're going to learn the main things we want to know (we're going to know the full extent of the map, platforms, main characters, and more details of the story by release). What I like about R*'s approach is that learning as little about a game as possible means that much less is being spoiled for you. I feel like a lot of developers show too much of their games off before their release, which takes away the surprised. With R*, you might not even know what the HUD looks like before you play it if you avoid leaked gameplay videos (and video reviews, I guess). It may seem annoying at first, but it's ultimately beneficial for the enjoyment of the game. We got a pretty in-depth teaser, much more so than most teasers, so I feel that also makes up for having to wait for Max Payne 3 to release before hearing anything else about GTA V. After all, we could even not know what the game looks like, if they went the common route of a title-screen only or CGI teaser.

 

tl;dr: The secrecy is annoying now, but I imagine most people here are going to buy GTA V no matter what. Believe me, it's going to be a damn good game, and the secrecy means you'll be going in pretty blind, which makes it that much more exciting.

Right. Even if they held off all info. till the release date, which they wouldn't obviously, then everyone here would still buy the game. We like to bitch and moan. Its what people of limited creative capacity do best. Isn't it fella's. Yes it is. dozingoff.gif

Selfish? You sound like a whiny brat. If it wasn't for them there would be no GTA! Be more grateful. Go play another game or experience life and come back in a few months.

Ha, if it wasn't for us there would be no GTA, either. You act as if they give these out for free.

Of course if it wasn't for the fans there would be no GTA, but what makes R* selfish? If they truly were there would be no GTA V.

 

It amazes me how much sh*t people talk about them really when they don't realize how lucky they are. R* could be one of these developers that announce a new GTA only to cancel it later on smashing the hopes of every GTA fan.

R* would go bankrupt if they stopped making GTA, so they would never do that, thankfully.

Biased conjecture. If they didn't spend so much time and money on GTA games then they could spend it creating a new series that would blow your mind. How do you say, durr.

No one's making you buy GTA. No matter how much of a fit you throw, you're buying the game. R* has the leverage in the buyer seller relationship when it comes to hardcore fans like us gtaforum members and it benefits them in no way to share info with you while marketing another game. Get over your sense of entitlement.

 

*I doubt most of the people whining about info. care what R* employees want in their day to day lives. Yet when it comes to their personal desire for info, they want to pull the "selfish R* card?" Bitch please. It sucks not having info; deal with it.

GTA is their cash cow and if they stopped making it they'd be out of business. In case you don't know, cash cows are not just something you can replace with something else and expect the same results.

It's not that they are selfish, it's their game and they would do whatever they want....... But they had to show us at least one single screenshot from the game by now, this no information will hit them in the as., especialy if the game is not good.
