Paulsson94 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) I went to GameStop today and saw this: http://imgur.com/kXHCR I am almost certain that they know as little as we do, but I just thought I would share it anyway. (Sry for the bad quality took it right beside the receptionist and thought it would be awkward to stand and try to get the best focus.) I also took this picture that is just taken from a longer distance: http://i.imgur.com/bsJ6B.jpg Edited September 8, 2012 by Paulsson94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSi Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm actually glad we have some form idea now when it will be released In 2013 and possibly in Febuary Official press release can't be far off from rockstar now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusRIP Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I made one topic yesterday where I claimed that we'd get more revealing info next week, I made it look ridiculous, but I didn't lie! I have my sources. You claim to have sources, yet you were asking for a link to the countdown in October GI thread... lol, fail. OT, that release window sounds about right... March release. February last minute presales, March release, May the lazy people come out and buy it finally. In time for end of financial year to make their estimate. Sounds about right but was hoping for 2012 still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriaan Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Ok so Sweden. Is it common for retail stores in Sweden to have prints like that in English, and not Swedish? The reason I ask is that if it's English, it means that it possibly is from a larger print run done by GameStop - and then spread across their international locations. When it comes to a brand like GameStop, which are always given pre-order exclusives for Rockstar titles, it's actually not unwise to think they are given guidance by Take-Two (GameStop corporate management had said from pretty early in this year that they don't expect GTAV to come out in 2012). Rockstar has a good relationship with GameStop, and there are even dedicated events Rockstar held in the past for key GameStop people. I've seen photos for such a Max Payne 3 private event, and some of you may remember the photos of Red Dead that leaked out from such a private event in 2009.

significantother Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I was walking by the old gamestop I used to work at today, and they also had a Grand Theft Auto V Poster, and at the bottom it said: "COMING DECEMBER 2012"... I know that's not the official release date, but yeah.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriaan Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 @yoshiandluigi3 Yeah I think it's always quite obvious, given that GameStop stores are franchises, people who own those stores can do their own prints. The only reason I found this curious was that an English print popped up in Sweden - which means it possibly forms a part of a larger print approved by corporate and spread internationally.

Paulsson94 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 Ok so Sweden. Is it common for retail stores in Sweden to have prints like that in English, and not Swedish? I have never really thought about it that much but I think that international stores like GameStop often have more prints in English then a national store. But not all prints in GameStop is in English so I think you might be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriaan Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) @Paulsson94 Ok cool. Yeah, GameStop would often do prints on a large scale and then ship them out to their stores across the world. "2013" is nothing groundbreaking, but given that GameStop corporate management have said from the start of this year they don't believe the game would come out in 2012, and now this, I think it's probably pretty clear by now it's not a 2012 release. Meaning, I'm more inclined to believe these release date statements from them given their unique relationship with Rockstar (own private events with access to Rockstar titles, pre-order exclusives).

Well, yeah, I mean there is obviously no official release date, game stores won't be helping us identify the release date, and as of right now Rockstar has made it very unclear as to what the release date is. I'm going to say December 2012 - May 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
