As far as I know, Spring is from March to May... Why does everyone say April-June ?

Because of Take Two's fiscal plans being affected, there isn't much of a choice on their behalf other than to release the game after March.

Spring would generally refer to the period of April through to mid-June.

I have a feeling the release date can be bumped up that's why I just paid it off to get it out the way.

Yes, spring is from March to May (Early June) but people are saying April to June becasue TTWO have said the game wont be coming out in fiscal year 13 which ends on the 31st of March.

March to May is just as wrong as April to June. tounge.gif

 

To R* it doesn't matter anyways. It'll be released whenever it's done.

I always have a hard time believing the release dates from R* anyways. If they gave us an exact date now I wouldn't bet my money on it, they've unfortunately delayed games too often in the past years.

 

It's a stupid time to release a game anyways, not like R* cares, but the winter time is just so much better for playing games than the summer time.....

I don't recall Take-Two ever stating that the game would come out after March, though. If anything, didn't the evidence point to it coming out before March 31st? Correct me if I'm wrong.

but we never really know with rockstar do we? I mean sure that's the plan for now but who knows what there release day plans will be after christmas or new years. If they change the release date to march or decide to release it in feb would anyone be surprised? my point is I honestly don't know what to expect regarding a release date from them

True. Rockstar tends to surprise us on things; and they also don't stick to any sort of pattern on anything. I'm now thinking it's fair to say it'll most likely be any time between April-June, but realistically Rockstar could just say "F*ck it" and release it earlier. Or later, whatever. We'll find out soon enough.

I seriously doubt that. Rockstar are still working on the game, polishing bugs. A huge game like this takes time, you know.

Attention! There is no specific target release date for GTAV, other than Spring 2013 (April-Jun). All dates provided by retailers are estimates.

February is not happening. Take2 doesn't wan't GTA stealing buyers from Bioshock Infinite.

I don't think he was saying that February is happening, I just think he was pointing out that with the way Rockstar is, something unexpected will most likely happen. The truth is, none of us really know at this point. All we know is that the game will be released when it's done, and that could honestly be any time at this point.

Last year Duke Nukem Forever and L.A. Noire were released within 24 days. Anyway GTA V won't be released in February or March because the game is shifted to fiscal year 2014 which starts on April 1st 2013.

Yore right! But LA noire was made by team bondi not R* and isnt as close to being a threat as the GTA franchise

I doubt it too, I'm just saying that we truly don't know when the game will be release. Spring 2013 is a rough estimate at best, at least to me.

Yeah, L.A. Noire was a Team Bondi production but Rockstar has helped a lot in the last three years of the development and they even have published the game. Duke Nukem Forever was actually a 3DRealms production but that company has filed for bankruptcy and DNF was allegedly even cancelled but Take-Two (2K Games to be exact) continued the development from short after the announcement of DNF being cancelled in mid 2009 until June 2011 and they have promoted the game. And also Red Dead Redemption was supposed to be released in November 2009 and Max Payne 3 was supposed to be released in October 2009 so only one month before but then both games suffered one delay after the other.

Going to your point of how MP3 and RDR was supposed to be released in 2009, GTA V would have already released by now and they would have been working on VI for next gen if R*'s games werent delayed.

I don't know because there are so many factors. Grand Theft Auto is developed by Rockstar North. That studio has developed the game Agent from 2007 until late 2009 or early 2010. It was announced short before GTA IV was delayed on August 2nd 2007. In late 2009 in a newswire post from Rockstar Games, it was "announced" that Agent is coming in 2010 but the release never happened. Hell, since more three years or so now the Official Agent Webpage says that the game is "coming soon", lol! Anyway at the same time Rockstar North helped Rockstar San Diego and Rockstar Vancouver each in the development of Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3 and also they helped Team Bondi from 2008 until 2011 in the development of L.A. Noire. That is was we officially know so now we don't know if there is even more behind the departments of Rockstar Games! If the delays wouldn't have happened then Agent would have been released exclusively for Playstation 3 in 2010 instead of being either cancelled or a Playstation Orbis exclusive. Then probably GTA V would be a next-gen game. We can speculate about all this but what happened, happened.

Its still possible for it to be released in Fiscal 13. Its not likely, but more than 95 percent of the earnings will go into Fiscal 14.

If a products realease date is stated with a season then it will probably be out the last day of that season -.-

Not only rockstar but alot of other companys do this, kind of annoying...

It would be perfect for me to have it released somewhere early june, since my final exams would´ve just ended..

Anywhere before that and I am screwed regarding my exams!

April is familiar with the last GTA's release which saw huge sales (so why change) it's also after the fiscal year for Take 2 putting it in the right release timescale.

Games usually release on a Tuesday so put your money on one of these;

 

April 2nd

April 9th

April 16th

April 23rd

April 30th

 

GTA IV was released internationally on 29th April (also Tuesday). My money is on that. It's most credible at least.

Like I said, based on figures, GTA IV is the most sold GTA yet, maybe because of the April release they decided rather than a usual October like the others. It's a good time for them to release it.

 

Tuesday 30th April 2013.

Spring IS March 20th to June 21st. Thats not a new concept, thats common knowledge.

 

As for R*'s plans, I'm sure they have a specific time frame for release that wouldnt be as early as march or as late as june

I believe it was mentioned in one of the earning reports that it would release Q1 2014 Fiscal Year. So I guess April-June is the date.
