Tomb Raider is set for March 2013

It's common practice to stay the holy f*ck away from a GTA release for most developers. This and Bioshock being delayed to next year could very well indicate a late 2012 release date.

 

It could, of course, be just a dumb coincidence. However, it would be smart to keep tabs on this particular Tomb Raider; if it gets delayed to a later date as the year goes by, I think we'll know why -- remember the thing about Rockstar raking in a bunch of money by the end of March?

As far as my knowledge goes, Tomb Raider has nothing to do with Take-Two or R*, so how is this relevant?

 

Anyway, Rocktober 2012, bring it on.

 

 

Off topic - I like the image in your signature. It's awesome, and a timeless classic.

The OP is saying that most developers would want to steer clear of releasing their game at the same time of a Grand Theft Auto game's release, leading him to believe that a 2012 V release is more likely.

That's a good point. It seems like they do that for CoD also and we all know what comes out every November now.

I hope GTA releases on the exact same day as CoD and everyone buys GTA and CoD only sells like 10 copies.

Perhaps there is some information that developers within the industry know that we don't, or maybe it's just Crystal Dynamics (Tomb Raider's developers) making an educated guess.

 

However, I'm adamant that V will be released in 2013 regardless.

GTA V could launch any time in the next year. Other publishers can't just sit around waiting for GTA V's release date to be announced to try and avoid it. Tomb Raider's release date means nothing, it's just when they want to launch their game.

Too bad that won't happen. Both will sell millions of copies. IV used to be the most sold game ever (in a short time) until MW2 came and dominated sales.

Pretty much this. The publishers' main concern will be to simply release their game when it is ready to do so, not based around other games regardless of their hype or importance.

Thanks, I love these things lol

 

In regards to the others: like I said on OP, usually developers try to steer clear from GTA releases, so even if it does not mean that it will be released this year, we should be watchful of whether or not Tomb Raider gets delayed. It's being released on March, which is the last(?) month of the fiscal year in which Rockstar is allegedly supposed to rake in a lot of cash for Take Two, and if Tomb Raider gets delayed from its current date, there's a good chance that it's because of a GTA release in March.

 

@Knife That's very true, but if I were in charge of handling the publishing of a game I funded, I would do my best to steer clear of something as big as GTA; it would be counterproductive to release my game at the same time.

Overused and uncreative.

 

On topic: I'm a huge TR fan myself and TR sure isn't in the same league with GTA. It could mean GTA actually will be released this year, but as time goes by I doubt it more and more.

Do you guys think TAKE TWO will release two big games in the same year in 2013 i am talking about Bioshock and GTA V. October 2012 release is the best date for GTA V it will make the profits that TAKE TWO are looking for and will not interrupt Bioshock. If you were a fan of Bioshock and GTA and only had 60$ for one game will you buy Bioshock in February 2013 or wait one month to buy GTA V in March 2013?
