Rockstar Games wants to make the game 100% perfect.

 

''To those of you saying or seeing various conspiracy theories about there being some other ulterior motive for this delay, rest assured that they’re all nonsense – literally the only reason we’ve delayed the release is because we want the game to be as good as it needs to be''

I believe they're fixing glitches to make the game more dynamic once it hits the counter.

i agree 100 percent that they want the game to be perfect, but the game was set to be released in the spring so it couldnt have been that far away from perfect.

Guys, don't forget that the game is delayed for only 3-4 months... Spring ends on 21st June, and the release date is 17th September... So the delay, assuming that Rockstar was planning to release it on the last day of Spring, is only three months... Chill out and try to forget about it...

 

ON-TOPIC: What Rockstar said... They simply wanted to polish the game up a little bit... There can't be conspiracy theories everywhere...

Although I agree that the delay is justified, R* are playing it dangerously releasing a current-gen game so damn close to a next-gen console release. People are going to get very bored, very quickly when amazing next gen games are simply out-performing GTA 5. And before anyone says it, GTA will NOT be a next-gen game, have you seen the screenshots? suicidal.gif

People who truly appreciate Rockstar know what the reason/s are. After 5 years of development, imagine there is a major fault in the game somehow, so they need to be aware and make sure its not there and also polish the game a bit more. This is their biggest project they've been working on, so it takes a lot of awareness to perfect it.

Its like I have always been taught "GOOD THINGS COME IN DUE TIME"

 

Imagine this if you will, How good would teh GTA game be if it was put out every year like the fkn Need for Speed EA bullsh*t. Or what If GTA was to just say FK it and make it like Max Payne and other lil kiddy bullsht.

 

 

All I am saying is have some patience. This is a hudge project that is taking a ton of man hours to complete. The longer it takes in my opinion the better the game will be in the end.

 

 

 

So here is wht ya'll need to do. Its real simple and can be a ton of fkn fun.

 

Step one, turn your computer off

 

2: Get your lazy ass up.

 

3: Walk your spoiled ass out side.

 

4: Finally Enjoy the f*cking day like a normal human would do.

To polish the new PS4 and XBOX70 that Hurricane Sandy hurt when the bad weather of the economy was released by an unstable PC full of Bugs and Glitches.

 

This was the real reason, but keep it a secret they can't know I leaked that information.

Because they care about quality, not quantity.

probably a mix of a few things.

they aren't going to launch it next gen when they're filling pre-orders for the current gen and PC.

 

I've been thinking they pushed the console release back to coincide with a PC release, with the massive backlash about the lack of word for the PC gaming community. But I'm probably wrong about that, it's more of a pipe dream since I prefer PC gaming over consoles 9 times out of 10.

 

there's a better chance they're pushing bug fixes so they don't release a bethesda broken game, and only have a slightly buggy launch, or that they found a massive bug, and needed to fix it/polishing the game for better performance.

 

But in the end, we'll likely never know.

polishing the game is bullsh**t

 

They obviously want to make the maximum profit by selling it on ps4 and the new xbox is well .

I'm not really sure, but I start to think that gtav will come to nextgen consoles. It could also be a mix of everything.

All I have to say is BLACK OPS 2 what a piece of sh*t. Yes the game is amazing but the bugs are stupid and make the game look ameteur. A total con. So the further away the better the chances of having a decent game but I will be very very very p*ssed if rockstar f*ck it up like activision have with BLACK OPS 2

To maximize profits, there is too competition this spring and concurrencing GTA V with Bioshock to 2 month intervall is just sick for Take Two... I think they cannot delay it another time after September because the competition at the fall of the year will be higher than that of Spring.

 

If they wanted to do it to release for next gen consoles it's cool, why not. But the probability that GTA V releases on next gen is very low actually, we don't have any informations about PC so...
