urbanfire Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Max Payne has launched and the mythical 24th May is getting really close. There are indeed 1000+ 24th May topics, so let all further 2405 discussion be limited to here as we use this as a countdown thread. 2 DAYS TO GO!! What do you guys reckon? Will R* reveal something on this rumoured date? Yes/ No? If so, what do you guys think they'll show us? A trailer? A picture? Maybe something as subtle as a crypted message? Only time will tell. For now let us distinguish the believers from the skeptics!

Fence-sitters lose by default. Also, what punishment should we give those who are wrong? It has to be temporary in nature and most likely Avatar/Signature related. Comment on what you would like to inflict on the losing party (or on yourself if you lose!) Let the waiting begin! PS, if you want to be added to the list, please pm me. I cbb going through this topic looking for believers and skeptics. Due to the number of people unfamiliar with 2405 here's a brief rundown on what it is. 1. Trailer song "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake" release date - 24.05.1968 2. Dan housers birthday (disputed) - 24.05.1972 - same as plane below 3. Side of curb 4. Tbogt end cutscene when packie boards the plane 5. In where is the blue topic made a year ago, there were 2 numbers 1102 and 204. 1102 was release of first trailer (how did they know 6 months early?) Add 204 days and you get 2405 Edited May 22, 2012 by urbanfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasparlaks Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Ok. I think the 2nd trailer comes out then. [bTW, FIRST!!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Bill Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 2405 could merely be the address of the house, and there may well be quite a few disappointed people. Either way, a new trailer would definitely be nice.. An actual release date would be even nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarface910 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Were all fans reaching closer to the end of a 6 month desert of no info. Any legit info we get at this point would be heaven, just like one drink of cold water, we're tired of the analysts' predictions and guesses, as they are the mirage that distracts us from our one true goal!

Durden Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think they will begin a countdown on May 24th, and the trailer will actually be released June 7th. Everyone will forget about E3 and pay attention to GTAV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gtaplayaminigun Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I don't think anything will happen considering MP3 console versions will just be a week old and PC version will just be a week away. It'll be like squeezing their own balls to death to release info on GTA in such an important phase of MP3's marketing. They didn't bother to release info about V when MP3 was still months away. So, there's no way they're gonna release something in that window clearly belonging to MP3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicPunk Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 If R* does release any info on this date then we'll know that they actually DO put hints everywhere. If nothing happens then we have proof that we're over-analyzing everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA V is an open-world sandbox game and Max Payne 3 is an linear shooter. The bulk of sales are not in the first week after the release. They in the first MONTH.

Whatever they are, if GTA V has the capability to take the attention away from E3, then MP3 doesn't even stand a chance and more so if the rumoured poor preorder figures are true as R* will strengthen their marketing even more. It's not like they invest crap loads of money and say "f*ck MP3, we'll make a bank from GTA V anyway!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vormek Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) I don't think 2405 means anything significant. However, I don't believe they "accidentally" showed us 2405 in the trailer but I DON'T believe the reason was to give us a new trailer or a new piece of info. I believe it was shown in the trailer because of this: They KNEW beforehand that they would keep quiet about the game for many months to come so they simply decided to show 2405 in the trailer so the fans could speculate and have something to do until Max Payne 3 is released. They could have chosen ANY house number, but they showed us 2405. Coincidence? I think not. They wanted to show us this number so we could speculate until the first information arrives. I could be wrong of course. I'm not ruling out the possibility of getting new information on May 24th. Only 11 more days to see what happens.

Meekail Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 There is got to be something on that date. I mean we have been waiting for that day since the first time we saw the house number.

GR7 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Don't get your hopes up but possibly, the one thing I agree with pachter about is the fact that R* like to take all the attention from other things you could easily say trailer 1 fell in line with GTAIII's anniversary but it also conveniently came when saints row was about to release, I'm sure they could have easily released the trailer in October if they wanted. Now with E3 around the corner what better way to be rebels but at the same time take all the attention then to release some more info just before E3 hits.
