I don't know how relevant this is, and it probably doesn't matter but BESTBUY says it will be available for pickup on 12/31/12 ( written how we write dates in the U.S. )

Placeholder.

I know because the same thing happened before with Walmart.com also, but i see no bad in giving people hope.

Look, there's a 99% chance that it will release before April 2013. We'll know further on 31st July... If T2 maintains their expectations, then V confirmed for release before April.

Considering the fact that we haven't even got a confirmation for 360 or PS3 to have it, i strongly believe its gonna be 2013/2014 suicidal.gif

Jesus! :sarscasm: You don't really believe that the GTA V graphics are anywhere in the near of next-gen graphic, do you? sarcasm.gif

I didn't say it was gonna be next gen did i? I'm pointing out that they haven't even released what platforms it's gonna be on.....

Just read the spoiler in your signature?

 

Seriously? How is that even possible? Just doesnt make sense.

Yep, same here. Damn, but I was expecting something like that since it's the last one.

Hard to say. I would say the release is between October 2012 and early January 2013. So I chose 2012. smile.gif I think this topic will not last long. It will end up in flame wars. confused.gif

I like your October theory, I'm also thinking it might be released then, but your January guess will never happen, in January everyone is generally broke because they've over spent in December for Christmas an so it'd be commercial suicide to release a game in January even one as big as GTA or CoD, they'd flop but however an October release would be great success an the game would be a Christmas number 1. fingers crossed its October 2012

 

Check out my poll, It's about where would you like to see GTA go next??

Yeah, I know January won't happen but I said this because I faered that people will flame me for this. My guess is October to December 2012. icon14.gif And yes I already voted in your poll. wink.gif

You're trolling, right? You don't really believe this 2405 sh*t, do you? sarcasm.gif

Yes, I'm trolling but I wouldn't be surprised if GTA Vs actual release date is in may 2013, I just don't see it releasing in 2012 (only december maybe).

If GTAV is a 4th quarter game, yep 2013. (January, February, March)

T2 could just own the shelves in the forth quarter with Bioshock and GTA. Possibility.

 

If it is a 3rd quarter game (October, November, December), than 2012. Both possibilities could make financial predictions, technically.

It's true, R* is taking money to develop the biggest GTA game yet for themselves. They have carved out a huge cave under Dan Houser's house in the rock below (The Rock Cave) that is equipped with all the latest gadgetry and computers in preparation for the big solar flare December 21st that will take out the grid and ruin all technology.

The Rock Cave is completely isolated by insulation and rock and won't be powered on until after the flare to ensure no damage is sustained by the solar event. The cave is powered by a monster generator that removes hydrogen atoms from the tears of GTA fans and will sustain approximately 100 years of GTAV playing time for Sam and Dan and family.

Is that a reference to the Mayan calendar thing?

 

If so, that's a total myth (or as I like to call it a right load of bollocks). It's a misinterpretation of the Mayan Long Count Calendar. Dec 21, 2012 is just the day when it rolls over to the next "whole number." It's loosely analogous to the roll over to the year 2000 of the Christian calendar, nothing more.

 

Anyway. /offtopic

Wrong. Scientists found a half year ago a new calender. It was in the news. The end of the world is between the years 4300 and 4600. So we can play GTA V when we're all 250 years old. tounge.gif

I'm surprised someone hasn't banned you already considering the retarded posts that you keep making not to mention attacking other people for no reason . BTW are you a mod now and we don't know it yet ?

I can't wait when R* announces the release date, to prove all you 2013-f*ckers wrong. It may be delayed though.

Tons of evidence to support 2012, barely, if any, to support 2013.

 

Whoever says 2013, I don't know what you're talking about  rolleyes.gif

http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=517459

 

There's some 2013 evidence

I respect your speculations, but that's still not evidence. Remember that GTAV has likely been in development since 2008 when the plates were orange because R* generally like to start on their GTAs a few months after the previous title.

 

 

I for one perceive the license plates as 2012 support. All plates shown in the trailer just happened to have October (the traditional GTA release month) and 2012 on them. This means either...

 

A - R* selected just the Oct. 2012 plates for the trailer despite varying plate being in the game (which would be one hell of a coincidence if you ask any reasonable person) monocle.gif

 

B- Or this means that all plates in the game say Oct. 2012. monocle.gif

 

...Either way, this strengthens the case for Oct. 2012 as the target release date.

Yeah, it's orange, and it also says October. Does that mean it's coming out October 2013? No. I doubt R* would go through that much trouble just to make the stickers "realistic to the year." Thery probably just made it some random color. No offense, but it's really not evidence...at all

Honestly, why do you keep crying about information? If there is no information game won't be released? Maybe they listened to the wishes of those that said they don't wanna know anything about the game for all to be a surprise so their new bold direction is that, no info, no character name, no story, no cars, no features. They just tell you, game will be released in 2 weeks get your money ready and if you wanna know more buy it.

 

Now that would be new. lol

Here's an argument I haven't seen brought up before.

 

Sure, Rockstar has only released games in the spring, for the past 3 years. But, you also have to think about the fact that L.A. Noire and Max Payne 3 didn't do so well. Rockstar may have made back the money spent making both games, but that isn't enough for TTwo. I say GTA V will definitely release this fiscal year, between September '12 and March '13.

 

GTA V is the only way they can show their investors that they still have what it takes to make blockbuster games. (This is based on the last two games they have released) L.A. Noire was really linear, as was Max Payne 3. A lot of the fans didn't like what they saw when it came to these games. I'm not necessarily saying that Rockstar is to blame for the lackluster sales over the past two years, they were taking risks, like any company should. They were trying to open up/revive IPs so they didn't have to rely on GTA as much. With Red Dead Redemption being so well received, why wouldn't they.

 

However, the two games released after RDR were not big hits, and now TTwo/Rockstar is in trouble. Rockstar spends loads of money developing their games, and it's obvious, Rockstar games are nearly unbeatable in terms of attention to detail and creativity. The problem doesn't lie with the quality of the games they make, it is in the sales. Since 2010, Rockstar has made barely enough to stay afloat, They spent ~$110 million producing MP3, and only made ~$120 million in the first month

 

GTA IV, for comparison, cost ~$100 million to create and sold ~$500 million in the first week. They have to release GTA V before the end of this FY, or they run the risk of being closed/sold, and nobody wants that.

Actually La Noire did pretty good considering it's a new IP unlike Max Payne 3 which is a recognisable series and the sales were underwhelming.

It didn't do as well as Rockstar hoped it would. And with Max Payne 3, I think Rockstar shot themselves in the foot by releasing the GTA V trailer right before Max Payne 3's marketing campaign took off. But that doesn't really matter. The truth is, MP3 didn't do well, and in order to make up the lost profits from the last two/three years, GTA V has to be released soon.
