Orthopox Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) The game is rated M for mature, the murals are being painted advertisements on the internet everywhere, a ton of info and one month ahead. Obviously means the game has gone gold? aka development is done? Edited August 11, 2013 by Orthopox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Arrt Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I think it's going to go gold by the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distrom Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Not until R* says so, the game is out in exactly 5 weeks, R* has at The most 3 weeks to finish the game, and with such a big game like GTA V, they would take the max. Ammount of time to develope it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daley86 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 once it goes gold it could leak at any time (i've pre-ordered it for PS3 too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 GTAIV was released on April 29th 2008, and Take-Two announced only 12 days prior the release that the game went gold. The gold announcement of the predecessors Vice City and San Andreas also happened between 12 and 14 days prior the release.

golf wang Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 It will probably go gold at the end of this month or early next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallo92 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Ofcourse development is done! 5 weeks away and you think they are still developing the game? Do you know how long the printing and distributing process takes? The game would already be printed and sitting in the distributor ready to go. Maybe they are working on the first patch but nothing game breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but GTA IV and previouse GTA's went gold 2 weeks before release, and it worked, I don't think R* would have a problem with that, they may have everything planned.

massdstr Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 They had over 6 million copies of GTA IV shipped out around the world in less than 12 days. It doesn't take that long, and never will. I think we should separate what is really going on behinds the curtains, and what has been or will be communicated by Rockstar's genius marketing machine. Clearly you have never had any business with arranging disc printing factories, booklet printings, assebmling all these, and then shipping. It's a much more complicated, and complex chain of events, and it took an awful lot of time of arranging those at your will (not to mention that you have to fit into those companies timeframe as well). Execution is a bit more efficient and if you are doing it right, it could get ready within a week - but still: the game probably already finished by now, and it has been submitted to Sony and Microsoft to authorize that (as you probably not that familiar with these process': the Platform Holders needs to check every game before it can relase on their consoles, and that process can really tough and bumpy - not to mention the amount of time it takes). So, if a company said their game is on "gold", probably that's only the official version, and they are waited for it only because of marketing purposes. It's usually done a 2-3 weeks before the street date of a product by the latest. I would say GTAV is already submitted for TRC which means, the development on it is already finished. Don't expect the Gold Announcement until the first week of September though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsrow Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 They've got lots of time yet. The developers are probably debating whether to put in another city, based on fan demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the call of duty cases it has my local address on it even though its developed in America. I don't think every single copy comes from rockstar.

Poker2012chu Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I wonder how soon it would go gold before release date? Black Ops 2 went gold 3 weeks before launch and it sold 7.6 million copies on day 1; I suspect that GTA V will have similar, if not somewhat higher figures, because 1) more people have consoles than in 2008 and 2) the GTA games are very popular. Previous R* games usually have went gold 2 weeks before launch, but I wonder whether that would be too late for the amount of sales that are expected on day 1 and week 1.

NYC PATROL Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Man, it's crazy isn't it? I can't imagine having worked on this game and knowing in 3 or 4 weeks it will go GOLD and start to be mass-produced. 5 years of development time. 5 flippin' years. And now a month out from release.
