If GTA V was going to be released in the spring the hype train would already be in full force. I checked newswire's archives to find that Max Payne 3's hype train started in September, when the game was announced to be released in March (at the time, later delayed to May). Some will say that GTA V isn't getting as much coverage because it doesn't need to, that the name itself sells. This is true but if they don't have a massive campaign they might lose old fans of the series who have lost interest after GTA IV also they will not encourage newcomers. It could be (most likely) that they don't want to announce the game early because the announcement of the delay of GTA IV was followed by a sharp drop in take two stock. I think stockholders still expect GTA V to be released within the fiscal year. Take Two is not saying otherwise, to keep their stock up. I think they will release another trailer this year, as well as maybe a first look interview but they won't announce a release date until early next year. Last year I said the game would come out October 23rd of this year. Now I'd say it's more likely going to be October 22nd next year. Why October? Traditional month that GTA games are released (save for IV)

 

October 22nd, 2013 is my new guess biggrin.gif

Theres no way. My Guess is either March or May of 2013. October 2013 is too far. And besides, Rockstar knows how mad their fans are about the lack of GTA V info.

That's way too late. They have to release it before March 31.

What signs???

Past events, lack of info, full marketing not starting yet and so on. Take your pick. 6 month marketing gap is closing rapidly.

The only reason I can see it release in May is cause of their last three games. But two of them were delayed unlike GTA V. Still you have the money Taketwo expects Rockstar to get and yet Rockstar only has ONE game that didn't do too well. How else are they suppose to get the money???

I think GTA V was delayed but we don't know for sure because they didn't set a release date.

Your logic makes sense. Grand Theft Auto games have always been fully campaigned, and its traditional month of release is October 2013. I think it's a possibility, but for me, it seems more like a cushion time for GTA V to develop. However, I personally expect the game to launch either April or October (not this October). I give you a thumbs up icon14.gif .

I'm really tired of going over the same debate. However just like the past GTA V could be delayed internally if you live by this financial stuff and TakeTwos prediction could change.

I don't work for TakeTwo so don't know how and where this money will come from if not from GTA V so I agree it's a big indication of it been from GTA V however that's a assumption, things can change and it's not a fact. Look at Max Payne 3 for example. TakeTwo overestimated what they would get from that.

 

I need something more factual than financial stuff to change my intuition. Up to others what they believe but either way I can't and won't be disappointed because of false hope I gave myself.

You're onto something big here, my friend...

 

I think Evil Moon Goafers are planning to extinct the Human Species.

God help us all.

 

Its either IN 2012 or BEFORE April 2013

I belive the game will release in October 2013. GTA 4 had 4 trailers? If GTA 5 is released in March-May 2013 then R* has 5-7 months of marketing time left. 3 trailers in a half year. With the marketing strategy they are using that probably wont happen. I belive we will get some sort of new information in 2012. A trailer might be a longshot, but maybe a couple of screenshots? I think R* will release trailer 2 in January-February, trailer 3 around April-May and trailer 4 in August-September.

anyone that thinks october '13 is an idiot

Why is he an idiot if he believes that October '13 is a possible release date for GTA V? He's not kidding himself like you.

The "in a few weeks or so" topic is the best place for this sh*t. Or the "Guess the release date" topic.
