" Coming at end of universe – official paradigm shift!"

No, it could be that December marks the shift from the old paradigm (a year where GTA V wasn't released) to the new paradigm (a year where GTA V is released).

GTAIV came out on a Tuesday but they did a universal release.

 

Release date(s) PlayStation 3, Xbox 360

 

AUS 29 April 2008

 

EU 29 April 2008

 

NA 29 April 2008

I think they are definitely referring to the 21st December.

 

"end of the universe" makes me think of the end of the Mayan calendar which ends on the 21st December which many people think is the end of the world.

 

"paradigm shift" could here mean "pattern shift" which makes me think of the summer/winter solstice and the equinox. The winter solstice this year is the 21st December.

 

I just find it odd if this is a release date. It's the last Friday before Christmas.

LOL so my friend texted that marketing coordinator at rockstar today. He said "Dude... thanks for the inside scoop, the game looks awesome. Look forward to more info"

 

The guy texted back a few hours later ";)"

 

Im surprised hes not like "Shut the f*ck up.... I said nothing!!!!"

"Coming soon – official Epsilon online Study Program. Coming even sooner – official Epsilon Program (cont)"

 

Felipe Busquets retwitted this.

 

Very similar to the start of a marketing company and release of the game sooner than many expect. Perhaps even the announcement of the release date.

 

It should be noted that at this point Rockstar began to stir very clearly - there are really many hints that the marketing campaign begins and Rockstar really begin to give more information

December 21st is on Friday. I don't think its a release date, at least not for North America where most titles are released on Tuesdays.

Def not. This guy is the most down to earth honest person I have ever met. He would return a lost wallet with a thousand dollars in it. And I have known him since I was 10

Most likely something personal but he definitely talked to another R* developer who now has his profile protected. Most likely talked about the screens.

First, the end of the world does not mean the end of the universe. The universe and the world are not the same things.

 

Second, if connection between the release of the game and the dictum exists, it does not mean that release of the game will be exactly 21 December.

 

"By the end of the universe" may have quite a broad meaning, such as 2 weeks before 21 December, for example

Actually you seem to have confused yourself a little, I think you meant "the end of the world is not the end of the universe".

 

When your house burns down I'm pretty sure your socks will burn too, but if your socks burn that doesn't mean your entire house will cease to exist.

 

On topic: I think the "end of the universe" thing has precisely 0 to do with 2012/12/21. Just more meaningless random crap.

 

f*ck those tweets, I'll just be waiting for more screens (maybe with something new next time...) and trailers + release date.

Yes, you are right. Usually I'm busy with work and don't have too much time so sometimes such confusions are possible

I'll try a simple translation again.

 

 

"Coming soon – official Epsilon online Study Program. Coming even sooner – official Epsilon Program merchandise. Coming at end of universe – official paradigm shift! #InvestInEternity"

 

Epsilon = Rockstar (thanks Deffpony)

Study Program = Marketing campaign (thanks Deffpony)

merchandise = information (this one I'm not sure about)

 

Coming soon - official R* online marketing campaign. Coming even sooner - official R* information/ screenshots.

 

"Coming at the end of the universe", that's a hard one, can't figure that one out.

 

"official paradigm shift", meaning they switch to the 9th paradigm aka GTA V. EDIT: The release of GTA V

 

EDIT 2: The twitter account was indirect marketing, the official marketing will contain information and trailers probably.

I think that the end of universe - paradigm shift means that either the GTA IV universe is over and they're starting all over (which was suspected), or they will be truly be doing something BOLDLY different and new which they also said.

I was also thinking of that. GTA V is a new universe. But with GTA V, the universe of GTA IV dies? That sounds weird to me. Although it could die for them, since they are now developing in a new universe and will never go back to it.

Or they could be telling us that this is the last GTA to be put onto this engine and the rest will be in a new universe as in a new engine build for next gen consoles

Guys... really? Are you serious?

 

Let me decipher the oh ever so obscure hidden meaning of this tweet:

 

 

1) Coming soon – official Epsilon online Study Program.

 

2) Coming even sooner – official Epsilon Program merchandise.

 

3) Coming at end of universe – official paradigm shift!

 

4) #InvestInEternity

 

1) You'll soon be able to study Epsilon(ism) online. Most likely that refers to the ingame cult, meaning people in V will soon be able to learn more about Epsilon(ism) online.

 

2) You'll be able to buy Epsilon merchandise very soon. Most likely that refers to the ingame cult, meaning people in V will very soon be able to buy Epsilon(ism) merchandise.

 

3) "The end of the universe" is just another way of saying "never". So, there'll never be a shift of paradigms, they'll stay the same they are.

 

4) Give us money in return for empty promises.

 

All in all, it's the usual: R* staying in character as a "crazy cult", none of this has anything to do with the real world (except R* making fun of Scientology and other cults).

 

Another translation to make it clearer:

 

1) Get sucked into Epsilonism online to save us the trouble of physically recruiting you. More money for us.

 

2) Buy our merchandise. More money for us.

 

3) We'll never change. More money for us.

 

4) Give us money in return for empty promises. More money for us.

 

Real life meaning: none. Nothing. Zero. Nada. Niente. Rien. Nix.

I think we can also put to rest that Rockstar will indeed use twitter to release info as some suggested that they will only use the newswire.

This. At best they will create a novelty website for V to pay your $ to 'study Epsilonism'
