XxPhillies26xX Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Hey everyone this is my first time posting a topic at gtaforums. I know some of you gta fans are disappointed in GTA V's delay but hang in there. It's worth the wait look how GTA IV came out for an example. Rockstar really cares about their fans they are trying to make the best open world they can possibly make. Trust me when you look back at this moment you will appreciate what Rockstar did for us, always believe and have faith. This could be one of the best games to be released this console generation. It's amazing how the fans are witnessing this moment and don't realize it. This is why I made this post its crazy how fast time flies just looking back at IV news and its nostalgia. Looking at gta 4.net gives you this incredible feeling when you saw new updates released. The gta forums came a long way I wanna thank the administrators for making a fantastic site . I just wanna give a quick run down on gta 4 news and discuss when we can expect to hear news on gta 5 so I would like for everyone to take a look at gta 4.net and look at the news archive. Here is the link: http://www.gta4.net/news/archive.php Wow! It was a fun journey anticipating gta 4. Here is quick run down of the news that was released for gta 4 you can use this information to predict and analyze when gta 5 is getting previews and news. Here is a round up of previews and reviews and extra stuff that was released (look at the images below) Here is a preview from game informer on April 10, 2007. What a great preview we got from game informer it was a 10 page world exclusive preview in comparison gta 5 got a 18 page preview it seems gta 5 will be a massive game compared to gta 4 so expect a lot more to read from magazines like OPM , OXM etc. Here are previews from gaming websites like IGN, CVG , and gamespot etc on July 25, 2007 and January 23 2008. Great previews from those sites it features a ton of images and new info I know everyone is wondering when gta 5 will be getting new previews from gaming sites like gamespot CVG and gametrailers hopefully we can see new previews from gaming sites in April or may. Patience is key. Here is the most exciting thing about previews are hands on its really exciting reading someones thoughts on a game you are waiting to get your hands on or watching video discussion on what they played. If you never read these hands on I recommend it I know they are old but it can help you Imagine whats in store for gta 5. I predict the internet will go crazy that day when gta 5 hands on are released. I expect the hands on to be released in august a month before the gta 5 release date which is September 17. On April 25 2008 the reviews were released for gta 5 what a exciting day for Rockstar It was a exciting moment for me as well I remember getting butterfly's in my stomach that day coming home from school I was only in the 7th grade at that time . To see Rockstar become the highest rated game of all time is a major achievment which currently holds a 98 on the metacritic my hats off to the ladies and gentlemen who work so hard on a game that was the most anticipated of 2008 It was a lot of pressure on Rockstar to deliver their first HD openworld game. Its important for rockstar to deliver on gta 5 and make the best open world sandbox they can possibly make. [/b] On November 28, 2007 the official box art was released what a beautiful box art from Rockstar. Who knows if Rockstar will be doing the same art style with gta 5 but it remains to be seen. We might have a chance of a boxart trailer being released for gta 5 but who knows Rockstar are unpredictable so lets hope. Here is the official website being launch on February 8, 2008. Rockstar always launches a fantastic official website for every gta game so I cant Imagine what they have in store for gta 5. I know they will defiantly have intro music for gta 5's official website once it launches. Here is gta 4 going gold on April 18, 2008 what a great achievement for Rockstar it features a interview from Lazlow. It would be nice to see gta 5 go gold as well it really would be exciting moment for fans. My prediction is gta 5 will go gold at the end of august or the beginning of September. So thank you everyone for reading this topic. I love this site, its the first time I posted something on a forum. I love my gta fans they just got to understand that Rockstar takes their time with their games not every release date is going to be guaranteed to be released on that day. Patience is the key. I remember how time felt when gta 4 was coming out and boy it felt slow but all of you gta fans should appreciate this moment and enjoy it because before you know it the wait will be over So thanks everyone and take the time to analyze and predict when we are getting news for gta 5.

InternetKillTV Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Wow, nice post.

Raptomex Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The image regarding IV going gold. Injuries mean a lot more? When Niko gets shot in the leg he will limp? Lol. But still, this post takes me back. Great memories. The hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakee. Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Rockstar had to really sell GTA, it was the first HD game in the franchise and also the first on that generation, without selling it hard it would have flopped. Also, I beleive Rockstar are keeping quiet because they are unsure themselves if they can meet a specific release date, companies change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicPunk Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 You thought it was fast between GTA IV 'til now? Not me. It has been a looong, frustrating wait. Good work on putting this together, even though I don't think we'll be able to use it to predict any release info for V. It's just different this time around. And now, R* is back to pushing Max Payne in the a**. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Militant Llama Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 So you're hoping that R* will stick to the same marketing schedule as GTA IV so we can get a line on when new info is coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxPhillies26xX Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 So you're hoping that R* will stick to the same marketing schedule as GTA IV so we can get a line on when new info is coming? No I'm just comparing and predicting when we will get new previews from gaming sites but Rockstar is unpredictable I'm not expecting them to go down the same line.

Militant Llama Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yea they are pretty unpredictable. RDR, LA Noire and MP3 were all well marketed and had constant exposure from about 3 months before release. I thought we might see some more trailers or something comparable, they've gone more off the grid with V than they did with IV, but only a little.

Magic_Al Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 One of my favorite things in the archives is this map from April 2007 That should give some confidence to people in the Mapping Los Santos thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I beleive Rockstar are keeping quiet because they are unsure themselves if they can meet a specific release date, companies change Yes, I agree. They had to lie about GTAIV otherwise it wouldve flopped once people saw what it was really like. ahopefully they arent doing that again for gta5.

Damn, that's amazing. I think part of the reason why R* is keeping so quiet is because GTA now has more competitors than it did in 2008. They don't want to show all of their cards.
