GTAV360Philly Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I don't really care when gta 5 comes out, I'm just happy it's in development. But i do I think gta 5 has a chance of coming out in December, after all the good fall games come out like Hitman and assassin's creed 3 and halo 4 and far cry 3 and Hitman. Rockstar does have a tendency to release games in the spring since their jump to 360 and ps3. Rockstar can release the game a week or 2 before Christmas to achieve more sales and it's a time when people can just chill and not worry because it's the holidays. I'm not saying u should spend every waking hour with a game, but u get it, it's the holidays. Think about it, Late Fall-Christmas is where the money is. Yes, the last couple rockstar games have released in the spring, but only one of them was a gta title. Max Payne 1 and 2 didn't even have a specific launch timeline that gamers could speculate on. Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire didn't either. With GtA 5, we can speculate, analyze, and debate because we know how GTA titles release and how their marketing is. So, in conclusion, GTA 5 can come out in December if marketing starts this month in commercials and a new trailer with gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
police rights Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I don't know, I been following these forums for a while and my intuition is telling me a 2013 release. Anyone could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wwinterj Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 So, in conclusion, GTA 5 can come out in December if marketing starts this month in commercials and a new trailer with gameplay. It could of course. Anything is possible. R* don't even have to do much advertising and it'll sell like hot cakes. I would love it to come out around that time but I highly doubt it will. The lack of information Can't pre order yet in most places Not long left until the end of the year These are just some of the reasons I doubt it. Sure R* could do a short marketing campaign, give little information and announce a release date in October so people can pre order in time but this doesn't seem to be the case for me personally and I'll trust my instincts as if I'm wrong I'll be surprised and happy but if I'm right I'll also be happy. It's a win win situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Without a Tongue Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The only argument against a Holiday release is that R* has never done that before which is poor logic in my opinion. Nothing about the marketing of V has been orthodox. That's not to say I believe in a December release, but I don't rule it out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It's not impossible for it to happen but to me it just doesn't look right, it's unheard of for me unless they release it on the same day as Far Cry 3.. who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no sense, let's rush release on December of a very busy year and just 2 weeks earlier, i'm not replying to telll people that march 2013 is the earliest imaginable date but to say that it's nonsense of thinking in 2012, first it was September then October now people are discarding December and next until it finally releases- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKON8ERISBACK Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 It's not likely, but they could make an absolute crapload of money from Christmas sales. All those suburban soccer moms. Imagine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
