LotusRIP Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Somehow it makes too much sense that we get the cover reveal right at the exact time we all have always predicted would.be the release date announcement date... Late Jan.... It's a safe bet we will get release dare with cover, and maybe website and full promo stuff soon after. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungChrist Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 So GTA V release date will have to be announced atleast 4 - 5 months to actual release. They could announce it whenever they wanted, actually. Release date is going to be May anyway. March you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiophile Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I finish my semester April 19th or so. Then I am off for a few months. R*...you are free to release the game following the passing of that date. This is fate.

Hurrikane Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Remember when rockstar announced a date for GTA IV.Jan 24 2008 announced date / April 29 2008, released. http://www.gta4.net/news/3964/grand-theft-...ing-april-29th/ Exactly.

Anyway, I am confident that GTA V will release on time. Some of you guys are too damn paranoid, which is understandable given R*s track record. Perhaps this time, things will be different. They'll release it on time, methinks. I can really see them revealing the release date along with the boxart. If not at that time, then maybe a week or two later.

They could announce it whenever they wanted, actually. Release date is going to be May anyway. Nah, Its end of March or early April. No sooner, no later. It cannot be in march because spring officially starts on March 30th (which is a saturday). The earliest possible date would be April 2nd. I think they'll start advertising after the box art is revealed, which is not far from now. The latest they can start advertising (to release in April) is beginning in February imo. You do know how the seasons work right? March, April and May in the Northern hemisphere are spring. Not March 30th-June 30th.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D T Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Max Payne 3's release date was also announced in early January. I think GTA5's release date will be revealed alongside the box art later this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geralt of Rivia Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 just because past releases were between 4-6 months, that means absolutely nothing. I do think we'll get a date this month though, or early Feb. Its called an estimate. And I disagree. Rockstar's games always have a 4 - 6 month gap between announcement and actual release. And I dont think that will change anytime soon. You'll see what I mean when they announce the release date . GTA games always used to come out in October too, but look how that turned out It's not delayed, R* wouldn't allow it It can't be delayed if there isn't a specific release date It can be delayed if they don't release it in Spring, like they say they will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algonquin Assassin Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yeah, Im expecting it to get delayed to 2014, or maybe even 2015. This is Rockstar we're talking about. No I definitely think 2020 is a more realistic option. You have to account for 2014/2015 will be early into the next gen life span and besides by 2020 the whisky Cockstar placed in barrels for the aging process will be ripe and ready for action as they f*ck up something else in GTA V during its consumption.

Wouldnt be surprised if there was huge wine cellar/brewery in the basement of R* HQ. 2008 is long enough ago to make wine, right? Im no expert though.

Marlo-Lionches Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 All i want is a release date and I will preorder it, I probably won't even check this website or rockstar newswire when we get a release date, just pre-order and sit back an wait.

nkjellman Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Rockstar said they would announce the official box art. That may also mean the release could come along with that. Wasn't it that way for IV? I remember them releasing a video of them painting the box art in a studio. It was about two stories tall. Then if I'm right, the screen went to a black screen that had the release date on it. Not 100% sure on this though. (Box art will have Rockstar Games Presents in tiny text above Grand Theft Auto V.)

That's why they made IV so sh*t. With all the money they've made bootlegging alcohol not as much money has been spent on game development and that's why we've been waiting aslong as we have.

The_Majestic Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 ZERO chance this game is delayed past Spring. As somebody mentioned earlier the game is already finished and being swept for bugs. I thought April originally but i'll guess May now. May 21st to be exact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaggySnake Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 it will NOT be delayed. It most likely already has been delayed!! How do you know it wasn't originally due to be released Oct 2012? Rockstar are known to always delay their games. This time around however they are keeping much quieter and only giving information when they are 100% it's accurate. I think it was due out in October 2012 but was internally delayed to Spring 2013. Just like IV, except this time they aren't giving out dates until they are absolutely sure they can keep their promise! Spring 2013 is the best they can give us (for now). I'm sure they have a target release date but aren't gonna tell us until they KNOW it can be put out then. For example, say the internal target date is 16th April. If something goes wrong or if they just simply want a bit extra time to polish it up they can delay it to 18th June which gives them an extra 2 months and they don't break their promise to us of "Spring 2013" because that could be any where between late-March and late-June. Of course, according to TAKETWO's financial outlook, Rockstar won't be releasing V this fiscal year which ends 31st March. That means V will be released between 1st April and June 20th 2013. Again. V will be out Spring 2013. It most likely already has been delayed. It would be a disaster if it was delayed any further. They will not give us a release date until they are sure of it. We'll hear something from them soon though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
