Will it get delayed like IV?

I don't think there will be. I feel that's why they waited so long to announce even a vague release window. They are making sure they can nail the date before they announce it this time around IMO.

It won't be delayed , because there is a high chance that Microsoft will announce the next Xbox on E3 2013 , so every publisher is trying to release their game as soon as possible. You will understand this when you look at the releases scheduled for Q1 and early Q2 2013.

IMO I think Gta V already has been delayed, it's been 5 years since the last release date of the latest Gta... They also had to make read dead redemption but I'm pretty sure they can squeeze in time for the start of V. So I'm not sure the actual release of RDR but I'm guessing 2010? I'm sure they started working on this before that so maybe there was a supposed release for sometime in 2011, then that didnt work and then a release for October 2012. So I think they went through 2 delays. I don't think the game will be delayed anymore, but there is a possibility for anything to happen. I think it will still be released in Spring 2013 icon14.gif

I think in an interview somewhere Dan Houser stated that the game was finished and now they're just polishing it up. If I remember correctly, he equated it to writing a book and finding out it has 1,000,000 spelling errors.

 

I still think we're getting a April or May release.

Delays = Good.

 

You want the Halo 4 of GTA? Where they pushed the release so hard, that they released a Broken game?(EVEN ADMITTED TO IT!!)

Thought so, quit yer bitchin'

Halo 4 isn't broken. Is it? I've played it for hours and it isn't glitchy at all. Except for the sh*tty custom games

GTA IV was announced in May 2006 from Microsoft on E3 because they had a contract with Rockstar Games. The contract was that Microsoft gets two exclusive DLCs for the XBox 360 and that are GTA The Lost And Damned and GTA The Ballad Of Gay Tony. I'm sure that GTA IV wouldn't have been announced so early if Rockstar wouldn't have had the contract with Microsoft. It was pretty much a given that GTA IV is going to suffer a big delay since it was the first game from Rockstar Games in HD with the RAGE and Euphoria Engine on the then new Playstation 3 and XBox 360. There were rumours that the Playstation 3 was finally the reason for the big delay because it was a bitch to develope so there were lots of technical issues.

 

 

I'm expecting a delay from March 2013 to May 2013 to add hype.

GTA V already has been internally delayed. Take-Two Interactive has decreased their expectations from 1.7-1.8 billion dollar (45% from 2K Games and 55% from Rockstar Games) respective $1.75-$2 earnings per share to 1.1-1.2 billion dollar respective $0.0-$0.20 earnings per share on October 30th 2012. The best Non-GTA year was the fiscal year when Red Dead Redemption was released and they made 1.16 billion dollar respective $1.06 earnings per share. The best year ever was the fiscal year when GTA IV was released and Take-Two made 1.5 billion dollar respective $2 earnings per share. So as you can see there is absolutely no room for a release in March but April, May and maybe early June.

It was that, but also storage issues on the Xbox 360.

If it's delayed, people will scream, bitch, moan and threaten to boycott the game. Then when it comes out, those very SAME people will run out to buy the game anyway.

Wrong. Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem = Garbage.

That was my point. Delays aren't always good. That was delayed for over a decade...

I don't think it was necesarily delayed for a decade. It was a development mess changing hands. It was meant to be a PS1 game initially.

 

Anyway I doubt we'll see another GTA IV type of delay unless R* ruin into technical problems with the consoles again.

It should launch in 4-6 months. We should have an official date way before that.

R* don't exactly have the best track record when it comes to releasing games on the dates that they say they will, but quite recently they've been doing okay and at the moment we've got a pretty open release schedule the entirety of Spring, rather then let's say specific days and months like they usually give us.

 

I seem to remember them changing Red Dead's release date from March to April to May, Spring's definitely a more open playing field for R* as a whole, so I'm going out on a limb here and saying no - they've differed from their normal marketing techniques for a reason and I get the feeling that this might just be it.

...Why do you think they said Spring instead of March?

 

Think...

March 21st to June 21st counts as spring
