Holly sh*t...finished with max dumbass payne and started with the crew sh*t

At least crews are better than Max Payne 3. icon14.gif I'd say that the Max Payne 3 marketing campaign is nearly over. Crews are general because you can use them in GTA V and in all future games from Rockstar too. wink.gif And I think it's stupid to think that Rockstar will promote the DLCs as aggressive as the main game Max Payne 3. sigh.gif 5 of 7 DLCs are released until the end of the summer. There are only 2 DLCs in the fall. xmas.gif

MP3 DLC marketing will include a trailer + screenshots for each pack -- just like Red Dead Redemption. There won't be huge build-up like as if Rockstar is advertising a brand new game.

 

The Crew Cut is a new thing that's here to stay. Expect that every week.

When webpage's background it'll be about GTA V, we'll be able to be happy.

The recent Newswire update just shows even more so that there isn't really much else they can say about MP3.  GTAV can't be far off.

FYI, Max Payne has 4 remaining DLCs set for release this summer and 2 DLCs set for release this fall.

 

However; the marketing campaign will start soon.

Yeah I know. However, judging from the sales of MP3, R* is dealing with a pretty narrow market right now for MP3 and especially for it's DLCs. This is why GTAV marketing/mention wouldn't hurt sales.

 

Anyone willing to buy MP3 and the DLCs is usually someone who is already a fan of R* or Max Payne to begin with. Therefore, they aren't likely to be the type of person that sees GTAV posts on Newswire and says, "Screw MP3 now, I want GTAV." monocle.gif

This. icon14.gif And for the people who say that Rockstar can't promote DLCs and a brand new game because that'd hurt the sales of the DLCs: Red Dead Redemption was released in May 2010. There was 4 DLCs released for RDR. The last DLC was released in September 2011 but L.A. Noire was released in May 2011 so 4 months before the last DLC. Rockstar can promote a big game and a few DLCs at the same time. They're a very big gaming company. icon14.gif

Since you asked, I'll help you (and if anyone claims that I'm a grammar nazi again because of this they can stick a soldering iron up their ass):

 

"When the website background changes to (a) GTA V (background) we will/can all be happy."

Would you prefer a lead-free or a regular soldering iron? I have hot air or dark infrared reworking stations too, if you like it a little more special inlove.gif

 

I knew this would become a romantic evening.

 

 

On topic: well... Mr. McNamara hasn't said anything about V this month (I mean concerning the September issue), judging by last month's posts (and using the kind of logic many people here use) that has to mean V will be the next cover. This topic's title would still be wrong then.

The more lead, the better. Always.

They ran out of MP3 news weeks ago. What does that mean? Nothing. They'll still delay the damn info to december or something.

i think were getting new info on 26th for sure...

Another random date. Care to elaborate why not the 25th or 27th? Or August 2nd, or July 31st as others proposed?

 

Lol, we have every day until August 31st covered by someone now.

 

Let me guess, it's your birthday? That only works for LotusRIP, he got the screenshots on his birthday.

I think he means we'll get new info on 26th because they announced GTA V and the trailer on Oct. 26th.

Ah yes, I remember reading that now. Thanks. Still... oh yeah, and the trailer was released on a Wednesday wink.gif

 

Btw, is this some kind of inside joke? Chaise says November when he means October and Punkd says June when he means July xD

Great, here we go again with the "stalkers".

 

Quick FYI: if you do not want people looking for info about Rockstar/GTA watching your Twitter/Facebook/whatever accounts, DO NOT MENTION that you work at R* RIGHT AT THE f*ckING TOP of your account page.

 

UnderWeb: I think you misunderstood him, he wanted to cancel his account at "ThreeUK", whatever that is.

 

Punkd: Tell me about it tounge.gif

I believe Oct 2013 will be the release date. Everyone thinks it will be sooner, but I highly doubt that.

 

Take Two can just delay their financial earnings and tell shareholders that its being pushed back. Oct 2013 for sure.

Ya they could actually tell to their shareholders "Sorry guys you need to wait another year for your investment to be paid, we're still cooking it, sorry for the mistake, see ya next year".

 

Thats would be their ruin unless they gave a big compensation, we are just players they can play with us but not with those who got the cash, they can go from Rockstar to Rockbankrupt in a second.

That would be sh*t. Normally don't care for the release and would just want info, but geez, if it's gonna' come out over a year from now, I mine as well move onto something else and forget all about GTA until September 2013 or something.

GTAVisveryawesome

it has to be released this year or next year between january and the end of march or rockstar will lost alot of money and will be f*cked and i think that is why Bioshock: Infinite was delayed maybe Strauss Zelnick (Take-Two Boss Owns R* and 2K Games) decided that GTA V should replace its release date as it is around the holidays and will make a sh*tload of cash and IMO i think GTA V will sell wayyyyyyy more than Bioshock Infinite and then R* are back in the game and will have more money to make more games so this is my theory but i think this or the next month they will open up about GTA V and give us more info, screenshots and a new trailer and marketing GTA V leading up to a 26th October release date.

 

My theory is based on speculation i have gathered and is a good theory IMO

October 2013 would be ridiculously late and inexplicable. There's no way a trailer made of in-game footage comes two years before a release date. Rockstar has a lot of delays but they can't possibly have that big of a delay after they're that far along.

No, they can't. Atleast not without the risk of them 1)losing their jobs 2)going bankrupt 3)a corporate takeover happening. The last is the most likely, with some people, not the Housers, losing their jobs.

 

It's ok if you don't know or understand the financial ramifications, but it would be very bad for everybody.

What about Bioshock Infinite? They had a 10 minute long demo gameplay of the game back in 2010... And that was after the original trailer which looked amazing to begin with.

here are my guesses:

 

1) They just fabricated that mission to be showable.

2) Lots of bugs and glitches that needed to be fixed

3) I don't know, but maybe they used a lot of people to help with GTA 5, but this is very unlikely.

 

Besides, GTA 5 is gonna sell 100x better than Bioshock, so Bioshock can kinda afford a long delay, GTA can't.
