October 2013 Delay

Yep, after all this time they decided to delay the game an extra month until October 2013 for polishing? How would you feel? Would you think GTA V is never coming but just an elaborate joke by the gods to tease us?

 

I wouldnt be surprised to be honest but it would hurt Rockstar I think.

 

Remember they prolly picked that date totally at random to soften the blow of the delay in the first place. September 2013 seriously? Why didnt they just go for October 2013 it would be keeping with tradition to release in that month anyway plus an extra few weeks polish.

They've been developing it for 5 years and in September they're gonna have been polishing the game for at least 6-8 months.

Yea because I'm sure they picked September out of random. Absolutely no thought to it at all.

They won't this time around. Better yet, they can't. Next Generation consoles will release in November/December of 2013. It would be outright stupid to release GTA V a month and a bit before that. September gives GTA V 2.5 months to set a new sales record, which for a game like GTA V is plentiful.

The way that I see it: if the game is not ready, don't release it. As Gabe Newell said: "A product is late for a little while, but a product will suck forever."

 

I don't want a game to be rushed because people are impatient.

That wont happen. If there was another delay, it would have been announced after T2 conference last month.

 

Sep 17 is a solid date.

The game is pretty much on track to reach its September release date. According to some random preview I saw, the game looks almost finished apart from a few bugs and pop-in texture issues that need to be fixed.

 

So I highly doubt that the game would be delayed after pushing their September release date on almost every new poster I see.

To be honest a small part of me expects this to happen. It wouldn't come as a surprise if it did. Once the game goes gold is when we will know we are safe until then anything could happen.

OFF TOPIC: An old 3D realms developer posted on the Gearbox forums about how the game sucked because they didn't want to consult Broussard about the problems due to how high strung he was. The anonymous developer said that Broussard wanted to put the game on consoles which costed more money and several developers including the anonymous developer protested this idea amongst themselves but didn't want to talk to Broussard about it. They stated that the game wouldn't even run on the PS3 without extreme optimisation and the Unreal version they were using was awkward to develop with. They turned high-resolution textures down and slapped on an extreme Depth of Field effect to hide this.

 

Furthermore, when Broussard asked developers how the game was coming along they would respond with "fine" and "It's doing ok" because Broussard was having a hard time trying to keep the company and his game afloat due to lack of funding from the publisher.

Well, if it came out in October I might be old enough to buy it, but I'm sure I'll be able to slip through in September, so I don't want them to, it means more waiting and that's not what I want.

It's nothing new Murad wtf.

 

Anyway, how many f*cking years does it take for a company to develop a game? It's ridiculous how much it takes R* to do GTA V, sure it's a massive game but .. 5 years? Wat? Almost 6..

Get out, you misleading prick

@people who think it was an actual delay

 

Did you lot even read the topic? suicidal.gif It says "JUST WHAT IF"

 

 

 

OT:

T2 don't have to be the ones to announce a delay. The initial delay from the spring 2013 was done by Rockstar as far as I can remember. Another delay is completely possible. They dont even have the official website up yet! What the hell is taking so long?!

Be glad they're actually doing their best to give us the most fantastic experience ever that will last for years.

 

What if R* didn't exist huh?!!!
