Has the ship sailed on Rockstar?

[TheTacoWhoWasntThere]

By the time the game releases we shall know the answers to some scenarios that may have provided a good deal of comic relief in GTA V. I would have preferred to see them being current in game scenarios albeit not central to the game (as in the TV ads, Internet and Newspaper news, possibly missions). Seems as they have missed an opportunity to include several current events (please comment) that may have been more compelling had the game come out earlier and they be current topics (as we play along).

What the actual f*ck are you talking about dude?

The game can still take place in 2012. Those events are still going to be memorable enough for jokes to not go waaaaay over your head if you hear a joke about it a year from then.

I think its gonna be the release year, which is probably 2013. I'm sure when GTA IV was supposed to be released in 2007, the game probably took place in 2007.

[Dick Justice]

Imagine a game released 6 months before it was scheduled to be finished. It would be bug-riddled, faulty and generally incomplete. Luckily, this hasn't happened. Yet, you're annoyed that the ship has sailed on some ideas for jokes. Priorities man, get some.

Dude..what.

This forum's going to sheeit, i'm tellin ya now

I'm assuming the repercussions of the financial crisis of 2008 are going to be the basis for much of the story. In 2009 (the latest they probably kicked around ideas for the game) they knew of the coming presidential election this year and the apocalypse theory . The game is obviously releasing post election/post 12 21 2012 and I'm just saying it would have been nice to see these be themes unresolved at the time of release and during the course of the story (concurrent w/ real life) these scenarios are played out. Just a thought.

Yeah, GTA V may have been scheduled for release in 2012, thus the "ship" may not have sailed yet, the license plates in the trailer have the 2013 Experation, thus, it could mean its set in late 2012.

 

Don't worry OP, I think you'll still hear about the "dooms day" from random peds and some paranoid mission giver.

 

Edit.

Just saw the post above... Ah well, in that case, the ship has sailed.

 

Edit. I think making fun of past things would actually be funny, when we play the game, we'd be like, lol retards thought the world would end Etc.

Well, they're not going to FINISH the game if they keep re-writing and adding in stuff for every current event, will they? They're going slow enough already without that.

I'll concede that the poll sounds negative and what not, apologies. I'm 99% (get it) sure I'll love the game. I just think in GTAIV things weren't current enough at times. And I really hope that Occupy Wall Street and other current events are still relevant upon release. And mostly because I just want to shoot/grenade/rpg/ghost ride my car into them (in game). And if all else fails, perhaps Rockstar can include whiny kids (like the MP3 in game avatars) who spam their website and this forum demanding things so we can vent some rage on them too.

[BlackLightning]

They missed the boat on all of it. I really think they wanted to have the game out by then to play on that stuff, especially the end of the world nutjobs out there. But something went wrong and now they're gonna miss out.

 

But we'll always have politicians and retards that want everyone to be the same and be perfectly safe no matter what, so they'll have that to poke fun of, as usual. Plus the usual let's go to war and kill everyone while trying to save the planet from Al Gore. Plenty of stuff for them to satirize.

It's possible, but if it releases before or in March 2013 like some people think, then it still might take place in late 2012. I read somewhere that IV took place in Fall '08 after it came out in April 2008, although that may have just been a part of it being delayed from October to April.

[Kifflom112]

I tell you what, it sure doesn't seem like V is next year time. It would be greener and the cars would look more modern.

[kudoboi]

you know jersey shore has not ended yet right? there will and already have many spin offs.

there is a british version of jersey shore, a new tv series that consists snooki and her slut sister in their own f*cked up series and there probably will be many others.

What the actual f*ck are you talking about dude?

This may be one of the funniest things I've read here in a while.

[John The Grudge]

This is a game we're talking about not a bloody stand-up routine. Some characters or plots will reflect current events and pop culture, but it'll be fairly broad strokes.

totally agreed

Yes, the ship has just docked at Hove Beach right now.

Why do you believe GTA V needs to follow our real time? Did VC miss the 80's or SA the 90's. If anything, it's better to wait until after an event/time happens before you parody it.

No, I'm fine with my English thank you very much.

 

By the way, you forgot the apostrophe in 'Wasn't' in your username.

[Zee]

Yeah, GTA5 is probably going to be outdated by the time it comes out. I cant wait to hear their attempts at spoofing the iphone the recession and the end of the world in late 2013. Totes relevant

[customkingpimp]

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!

They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa

To the funny farm. Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be

happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're

coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!!!

Are you stupid? The post was coherent enough.

[Mig10]

You are right! They usually make the game to be played in a certain time, usually the time they think it will get out. Not having the elections and some other possible goofs would be a shame, but nothing that spectacular.
